“Here’s to being fucked up together,” she whispered against my lips.
I groaned and sealed that with an even deeper kiss.
When we stepped back inside,low music was already pumping through the speakers, and drinks were flowing. Two of the bunnies were working the bar. Adelaide and River were sitting over on the couches, the kids playing on the floor in front of them.
I grabbed Reina’s hand in mine, and with a grin I couldn’t fucking contain, I lifted her hand up in the air, her diamond facing everyone.
“She fucking said yes!” I shouted. Reina beamed at my side, her happiness unable to be contained.
Cheers erupted in the clubhouse. Adelaide rushed up and hugged Reina, ripping her from me. River clapped me on the back. “About fucking time you pulled your head out of your ass, brother,” he teased. “That woman wasn’t going to wait forever on you.”
I shrugged. “Almost losing her a second time put a lot of shit into perspective for me.” It had changed my entire outlook on life. Thinking she’d run off because she was tired of the constant back and forth had gutted me. But knowing she’d taken off because she couldn’t find solace here after what happened to her . . . well, that nearly fucking killed me.
I nodded my head in thanks to one of the bunnies that handed me a beer. Her hand touched my chest, but I quickly brushed it off, sending her a hard look. And Reina—just like the possessive woman she was—stepped closer, a sneer on her face. “Move along,” Reina snapped.
I turned my woman to face me, grinning down at her. “All of this belongs to you,” I reminded her.
She shrugged. “Doesn’t mean I like their eyes or their hands on you.”
With a husky laugh, I dropped my lips to hers. “What do you say about taking this to our room? And you can put more than just eyes and hands on me.” I brushed my thumb over her bottom lip. “Maybe this mouth?”
She ran her hands under my shirt. “Thought you’d never suggest it,” she breathed.
She grabbed my hand in hers, and I thrust my undrunk beer at River. He barked out a laugh. Whistles and catcalls followed us, but I didn’t give a fuck.
This woman wasmine, and I was more than fucking happy to let her do whatever the hell she wanted to me, even if it might eventually kill me.

Sam
Iadjusted my cut and rolled my head around on my shoulders, trying to relax. But fuck if that didn’t seem impossible today.
Today was the day I finally got to change Reina’s last name to mine. Today was the day I got to claim her in the last fucking way I could. Today, her name was going next to mine on a marriage certificate.
“Breathe, brother,” River told me, drawing me out of my rambling head. “Never seen you look like you’re going to vomit,” he teased.
“Fuck you,” I muttered. He barked out a laugh. I scrubbed my hands down my face. “What if she decides this isn’t what she wants?” I asked him, dropping my hands back to my sides with a smack. “God fucking knows that I fucked around on her for fucking years. She deserves better. Don’t fucking understand why she still chose me.”
He shrugged. “Yeah; I agree with that.” I glared at him. “She does deserve better. But the real question is, does she want that? Does shewantbetter? She’s never turned from you, Sam. Even when you were treating her like shit, she still chose you.” I swallowed thickly, clinging to those words no matter how fucked-up they seemed. “She’s not going anywhere. Not a damn thing you could do that’d make that woman of yours turn her back on you.”
“I’ll never turn my back on you, Sam.”
I jerked around at the sound of her voice, confused as fuck as to why she was standing there. There hadn’t been a wedding march. There’d beennothingto alert me that the ceremony was about to start.
So, why was she standing here in front of me?
I ran my eyes over her and groaned, adjusting my dick in my jeans. A rumble of laughter sounded throughout the small crowd gathered to see us get married. We were in the middle of a church, but I didn’t give a fuck. She was wearing a strapless, black dress that hugged her curves and pushed her tits up. The bottom flared out around her knees, and I prayed for my dick when she turned around because I knew her ass was going to look fucking phenomenal.
This woman of mine had an ass that deserved to be worshipped, and damn if I didn’t do that daily.
“Reina?” I breathed.
She grinned. “The wedding march is overrated,” she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
River snorted behind me. I rolled my eyes and grabbed her hands in mine, nodding once at the minister.
She was here in front of me. To hell with tradition. I wasn’t giving her a chance to second guess this. She’d walked down the aisle to me without me even knowing, and now that she was here, I was trapping her.
