“Yes, Saul. I will marry you.”

“I got permission.”

I smiled, fucking him as he smiled up at me.

“And I asked if I could officially adopt him.”

I kissed him as he hugged me close.

“But before I asked him if I could be his father, I wanted to be able to tell him that the worthless piece of shit who helped create him would never be a challenge to that title.”

I went still, staring into his eyes.

“I wanted to wait to ask you to bemine, to be mywife, until I saw through my promise to remove the person who you thought could contest me on any claim or ownership of you.”

I watched him, wondering if he meant…

“To answer your earlier question, no. It won’t always be like this where I’m gone all day. We’re busy going after the Romanos right now and it’ll be hectic. But I was out of reach today because I was in Virginia, killing the asshole who thought he could buy you.”

“You…” I blinked, stunned. “You found him?”

“Katerina found him a half hour after you described him.”

My jaw dropped. “She didn’t tell me.”

“I asked her not to so I could take care of it.”

“And… you did?”

He nodded, slipping the ring on my finger before meeting my eyes again. “I killed him.”

“I’m yours.” I swallowed past the emotions clogging my throat. “Only yours.”

“What if I told you that I already knew that?” he taunted with a sexy smile before kissing me. “What if I told you that I knew you’d be mine from the first time I saw you?”

I curled against him, riding him slowly and kissing his cheek, then neck. “Then I would be the happiest woman in the world.” Instead of dwelling on the fact that he’d killed someone for me, righted a wrong and freed me, I was in this moment to celebrate life and love. Of moving forward with his support, never to be alone again.

Tender and sensual was the theme between us as I reveled in all that had changed in my life in such a short span. I would bemarried. I’d found a family. I had no nightmares to fear and run from again.

“I can’t wait to be your wife,” I told him as I sped up, bouncing on his dick faster as he moved his hand between us.

“I can’t wait to be your husband and Oscar’s father,” he said, just as out of breath as I was as he touched my clit and added to the pleasure.

“I can’t wait for you to give us another child.”

He jerked his face up to smile at me. That surprise and elation in his eyes made me feel like I’d handed him the rarest treasure in the world. “Oh, yeah?”

I nodded, praying he’d never lose this playful side to him. He was a killer and ruthless to protect, but he was also capable of being sweet and goofy with me.

“Yeah,” I said before kissing him hard.

“Your birth control shot will wear off soon, right?”

I grinned. “I’m already overdue for another one.”

He growled, getting up to turn us. I fell on my back, parting my legs more as he thrust into me harder. “Don’t. Don’t get that shot. Please.”

I shook my head. I didn’t plan on it. “Seeing all these babies around here is giving me baby fever.”
