“Hendrix Drake, it’s been one hell of a ride. I don’t want to get off. I want you as my wife now and forever.” Hendrix drops to her knees without saying a word. She’s too busy holding on to me tightly. My palm wraps around the ring, not wanting to lose it in the desert, arms banding around her back and my mouth going to hers. I don’t care if she gives me an answer. This is plenty enough. Every time we kiss, it’s like Hendrix tries to melt inside my body, getting as close as she can, hands going beneath my shirt to feel my skin, giving me exactly what we both want and need. My tongue takes over. She allows it, knowing my need to dominate when it comes to our sex life, including our kisses. Though, given the opportunity, she has no problem leaving her marks on my body. The first time, I swear I had what seemed like eight hickeys. A few on my upper body, most of them looking like a trail down my sternum, and the last one was along my inner hip, right where she likes to lick the indentation of my lower abdomen.
“You going to let me put my ring on your finger or kiss me all day?” I pull away from her. She lets out a mewl as if she’s annoyed. She’ll have to wait, though. Seeing the ring that was a pain in the dick to secure on her left hand is fucking important to me right now.
“Both?” she says it like a question. I move her hand that’s on my side, unclasping my fist that has the ring inside. I realize she hasn’t seen it, didn’t give two fucks about what it looks like in the least.
“We’ll get to that,” I reply as I slide the ring on her finger. The fit is perfect, and that’s because her best friend, Journey, did some undercover work for me when they were working one day.
“Madden, it’s beautiful, just like you.” A softer side has unfolded ever since she laid everything out on the line for me. Talking about her past wasn’t easy for her, but it gave me the heart of her, too.
“Not as beautiful as you, sweetheart.” My hand goes to the back of her head, locking eyes with her.
“Do you think the girls would mind walking Coop and Jolene down the aisle? I mean, we can’t choose just one flower girl. Plus the dogs have to be involved. They’re part of the reason we’re together after all.” I laugh, already knowing Cammy and Piper alone will say yes, especially when it comes to the dogs.
“Are you prepared for them to steal the show?”
“They’ll add to the show, plus Cooper and Jolene will be our witnesses as well.” My head drops as I attempt not to laugh again, knowing that Hendrix is absolutely serious about this setup.
“Anything you want as long as you’re walking down the aisle to me. That’s all that matters.” If I have my way, that will be happening soon.
“I love you, Madden Hughes. I can’t wait to be your wife.” Fuck, the softness in her voice has me closing my eyes, soaking in her words.
“Fucking love you, Hendrix. So damn much.” She doesn’t respond, not that a response is needed, not when she faceplants into my chest. And in my arms is where I want Hendrix to be. Forever.
Epilogue
HENDRIX
One YearLater
“So, about last night.”I’m on top of Madden, his cock seated inside me, hands working my nipples. We both already came a few moments earlier, a rare occasion where Madden let me ride him. Usually, it’s him controlling the situation, which I don’t mind. Tonight was a different story; it could be because earlier this morning, we showered together, my body bent over, feet planted shoulder-width apart, hands flush to the floor, Madden’s hands gripping my hips as he tunneled his thick cock in and out at a rapid pace. Though that could be because I dropped to my knees, wrapped my mouth around his length, and attempted to get him off that way. Madden wasn’t having that. In fact, it pissed him off in the best way possible. I was sore in a delicious way, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to ride my husband tonight.
“The last time you spewed that shit, you ran away. That’s not happening this time around.” He pinches my nipples, face looking less satisfied and sterner, thinking I’m going to drop a different kind of bomb on his lap. I use my Kegel exercises to our advantage, getting his mind off the past, something that doesn’t usually get brought up until I use a phrase like I did moments ago.
“I’m not running away. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Do you remember how we talked about starting a family soon?” I ask him. My hands cover his that are on my breasts, attempting not to close my eyes or tip my head back. There’s one thing that I can’t deny, and that’s Madden’s stamina. He may have just come deep inside me; that does nothing in the way of him hardening again.
“Then what do you have to tell me?” He flexes his hips, pushing deeper. I lose my train of thought like I usually do when he’s tempting my body with another orgasm. He’s the only person who has ever stopped me in my tracks, much like he’s doing now when I watch his naked muscular body beneath me, his piercing green eyes, hair messy from my hands gripping the strands, knowing exactly how dangerous his mouth is whether it’s kissing me or torturing me with the need to orgasm even when he’s in a teasing mood. That’s why my mind has shut down, not worrying about the question he just posed or the fact that I have something important to tell my husband. The only thing I’m focused on is the way he’s currently making me feel. His eyes aren’t on mine. Instead, they’re glued to where he’s slowly working in and out of me, our cum mixed together, wetness helping glide a path, his fingers still working my nipples as I slide down with every motion of him pulling back.
“Focus, Hendrix, what do you have to say?”
“You act like you’re not the reason I’m losing my mind at this very moment.” We learned our lesson long ago not to leave the door closed and the dogs by themselves. Not that they come in our room a lot, but the second our door closes, it’s like a light switch is flipped, causing them to act likeDumb and Dumber.
“Oh, that. I guess you’d like the answer to what I did last night?” I tease him. It only seems fair seeing as what he does to me on a daily basis. Madden must be over my nonsense because in a flash, I’m on my back. He somehow manages to stay inside of me the entire time. The man is some kind of animal when it comes to getting what he wants.
“You gonna tell me, or am I going to fuck it out of you?” Considering that’s exactly what he’s doing, it’s kind of hard to form a complete sentence. My core clamps down on his length. His body locks up, head tipping back, throat muscles tightening, and knowing that it’s me making Madden feel this way is almost overwhelming. I lift my hips up when he pulls back, not wanting to lose him even though the sensation is exactly what I want. There’s something about him staying exactly where he is.
“You know those birth control pills you were ready to throw away last month?” I wait until that gets his full attention, and when his eyes land on mine, hands moving from where they usually are, on my breasts anytime I’m naked, to my lower abdomen. “I threw them out last night. I’m ready to start trying now.” My husband acts like I just gave him the greatest gift possible, and I’m not even pregnant yet.
“Fuck yes, I can’t wait to see you with our child. A little girl full of her mom’s personality and her looks.” If there were a way to describe Madden in this very moment, it would be more possessive, more in love, and absolutely more dominant in getting his wish to come true.
“I’m not sure we’re going to conceive a girl. A little boy wouldn’t be so bad either. We have two nieces who would absolutely dote on him.” This conversation is ridiculous. Whatever children we do have will be welcomed with unconditional love and devotion.
“Christ, the girls are going to be as excited as us.” I smile. Madden is not wrong.
“Maybe we should get this show on the road if you want to make this little girl you’re talking about.” Thankfully, Madden gets with the program and drops down to his elbows, hands cupping my cheeks, and kisses me, all while working my body back up to a fevered pace. I’m hopeful that in nine months, we’ll be welcoming a little one into our family, and with any luck, that will just be the start of another exciting adventure.
