SEVENTEEN

GAGE

The soft sounds of Ale singing Zoe to sleep come through the baby monitor on my nightstand.

My laptop is in front of me as I search the internet for what Ale would need to do to bring her sister to the U.S.

It seems pretty straightforward and if I can convince her that getting married will only help, she might be all for it.

I’ve already bookmarked a few immigration lawyers in the area to call because I don’t want this all going sideways if we can pull it off.

“ Estrellita, ?dónde estás? Quiero verte cintilar en el cielo, sobre el mar. Un diamante de verdad. ”

The sound of Ale singing, like our own personal angel, and Zoe’s soft coos made my heart yearn for her even more.

Being able to overhear this little intimate moment between them makes me smile.

I know I’m going to miss so much when I’m deployed, so I try to soak up what I can.

Which reminds me, I need to take a few pictures of Zoe and Ale so I can have some with me.

“ Te amo, nina. Tu papá te ama. Te prometo que nunca habrá un dia que no seas amada. ”

Her words sink deep and all I want now is to pull her into this bed with me, make love to her, and fall asleep in her arms.

Maybe while still inside her. The night’s still young.

“She’s finally asleep-asleep,” Ale says, heading toward the bed after putting Zoe in her crib for the night. “It took me patting her bottom forever to make sure she stayed asleep.”

She flops onto the bed next to me and I roll over and grab her by the waist, rolling her on top of me.

“So you’re all mine now, right?” Ale looks down at me with hunger in her eyes and I know that as much as we want each other, she needs to be taken care of.

“Actually, how about a shower together? Then I’ll give you a massage. ”

“That actually sounds really nice.” leaning down to kiss me. “I’ll go grab clean clothes. I’m sure there is spit up on these somewhere.”

“Tomorrow we’ll get all your stuff brought in here. There’s no point in having your stuff in the spare room if you're just going to be ‘warming my bed’.” Ale shoots me a glare and I hold up my hands in surrender because she looks like she’d throw something at me. “I’m kidding, baby.”

She smirks and as soon as she turns out the door to head to the spare room...

Don’t say it.

“Because it’s my cock you’ll be warming.” You are an idiot. Sometimes I wonder how we have made it this far in life with how stupid we can be sometimes.

“ ?Qué dijiste? ” She steps back and leans into the doorframe, a confused look on her face.

The adorable five-foot-five future mother of my children is giving me the terrifying Latina death stare. The one I’ve heard all about from Morales.

Christ, she’s hot when she’s pissed off.

Clearing my throat, praying to God that it doesn’t squeak, I repeat. “I said,” There’s the fucking squeak. “Because you’ll be warming my cock.”

“You want to try again, Carino ?” Ale walks toward the bed, climbs onto it, and crawls toward me.

Don’t be scared, Gage.

Fuck that… Dominance, Gage.

I pounce on her before she can get the move on me.

With her pinned to the mattress underneath me, I take her arms and bring them above her head.

“Now, mi alma , let's try this again. I said, because you’ll be warming my cock, and that’s exactly what you’ll be doing.

You’re going to be a good girl because you’re mine and I’ll use you however I want. ”

Ale draws in a breath, holding it. I can see the fight in her eyes; she’s a feisty one.

I’ll bet under her bratty demeanor is a woman who has never felt safe in a relationship so all she does is put her defenses up.

Not with me. I have to prove to her that she’s safe and that she can give up that control.

“Do you want to pause?” I ask, staring into her gorgeous brown eyes, waiting for her to try to buck me off.

“No,” her voice so quiet that if I weren’t so close, I wouldn’t have heard it.

“You’re safe with me, Hermosa. You can let that feisty brat out, but just know that I’ll always put her in her place.

And that’s not saying you’re not my equal in all of this, if anything, I value you more than myself.

” I push her thighs open with my knees and situate myself between them.

“I’m only going to be home for short periods of time, so if we want a baby, we are going to have to get creative. ”

“This is going to be hard, isn’t it? You always being gone. Now that you're mine, I want you here all the time.” I keep her arms above her head but lean down and brush my lips over hers.

“Yes, it will. But we can do it. We’ll just be pros at communicating with each other.” I kiss her again. “I think we can skip the shower.” Ale wraps her legs around my waist, hooking her ankles behind my back and pulls me into her.

“I agree,” she mumbles into my mouth.

“Alright, pretty girl. I’m gonna let go of your hands but I want you to keep them up here.” Ale nods and I let go of her, running my hands down her body to slide her underwear off. Then I move back up to pull her shirt off, leaving her naked.

I am the luckiest motherfucker alive.

She is gorgeous. She is everything I have ever wanted in a woman and I have her.

“Come on, baby." I help her up and guide her towards the pillows and just as she tries to lie down, I stop her. “I have a different idea in mind.” I eye the bottle of lube on the nightstand and she gives me a raised eyebrow, shrugs, then grabs it and tosses it to me.

“Now what?”

I pull my shirt over my head and leave it beside me for when we are done. Slowly I pull down my underwear, my cock jutting out at full attention. “Stay up on your knees and grab the headboard, then spread those perfect thighs.”

The cold lube in my hand as I stroke myself has my eyes fluttering closed, but I force them back open as I watch Ale do as she was told, getting into positions so I can fuck her like this.

I scoot behind her and while I should use my common sense and prep her, I need to be inside of her.

I notch the head of my cock at her entrance and press a kiss on her neck.

“That’s my girl.” Ale arches her back, allowing me to take it nice and slow, entering her from behind. She didn’t even ask me to use my fingers to stretch her. “Look at you, pretty girl, taking my cock so well. You were ready for me this time, weren’t you? This pussy’s so needy for me now, huh?”

The sound of my hips colliding with her perfect ass echoes in the room. A soft, “Oh my god,” leaves her lips as I slowly drive into her. “Uh, huh. I need you, Gage.”

“Do you feel that, Hermosa ?” I take one of her hands off the headboard and bring it to where I’m buried inside her. “You feel how fucking hard I am for you.” With her hand in mine, she can feel my cock thrusting in and out of her tight pussy, feeling it stretch her to fit me.

“Fuck, oh fuck . Yeah, I feel you.” An endless string of moans and pants surrounds us as I bring that hand to her clit. “I can’t?—”

“Oh yes, you can, pretty girl.” I moan in her ear as the tip of my cock hits her soft cervix, making my eyes roll back.

“Let me feel you come while I fill this pretty pussy with our baby.” I use my fingers as a guide for hers, making circles over her clit with the lightest pressure, feeling her walls flutter around me.

“Oh, fu-, right there, right there .” Ale’s head drops back and rests on my shoulder as I chase my release. “I’m—I'm...”

“Come for me, mi alma .” I turn her head and press my lips to hers as she shatters around me, moaning into my mouth as I keep her fingers on her clit, drawing out her orgasm. “Oh fuuuck, I’m gonna come, baby. God, you take me so fucking well. My perfect little slut.”

I move my hand from hers and anchor her body to mine as I come, thrusting in and holding, feeling my warmth filling her up. Inside my head, the silent Please, please, please repeats over and over.

Please love me.

Please be the mother my daughter deserves to have.

Please marry me and be with me forever.

Please, please, please.

I probably sound like a desperate son of a bitch, but when you find someone like Ale, you kinda have to be. To feel truly seen and wanted is something I’ve never had and now that I have it, I never want to lose it.

Sure, women wanted me. But only for those quick, meaningless fucks to hold them over until the right guy shows up. With Ale, I feel like the luckiest man on the planet because she chose me. She continues to choose me. And I’ll be damned if I fuck this up.

I knew the moment she took care of me after I got shot that it was her or nothing. I didn’t get lost in her beautiful brown eyes that night. I fucking drowned in them.

“ Eres mi vida, Alejandra. Tú y Zoe siempre seran las personas mas importantes de mi vida. ” I hold her back to my chest, keeping my cock buried inside her. “ ?Te quieres casar conmigo, hermosa? ”

My hand is between her breasts, and her heart beats wildly underneath it. She’s silent.

Fuck, I ruined it.

Say something. Even if it’s to tell me no.

“Ale… I?—”

“Yes.” She says, her hand coming to rest on top of mine.

What did she just say? Am I hearing things because that sounded like a yes?

“Did you just say yes?” I whisper.

“ El corazón quiere lo que quiere, y te quiere a ti. I knew I was falling in love with you when you came home from deployment and caressed my face, looking into my eyes like I was the only thing you wanted to see. I knew when I took care of you that it was always going to be you. Whatever this life is, I know I want to do it by your side.” She turns her head and kisses me so softly, her hand reaching up to caress the back of my neck as she deepens the kiss.

Holy fucking shit.

This is happening.

I pull back and stare at her, still in shock that she actually said yes. “Are we—did we just get engaged?”

She laughs, leaning in back to kiss me again. “Pretty sure we did. All while you’re still inside me. Not really a story we can tell the kids.”

“We’ll make some shit up, it’ll be fine.” I wrap my arm around her stomach and pull her tighter to me, kissing her like she’s mine.

Because she is mine.

All fucking mine.
