"Quinn," I think about how to word this for her so it doesn't piss her off or send her running from me, not that I don't mind chasing her. Do I go with the fact we didn't use protection and she is carrying my baby? That she told me she belonged to me? The truth is the best option. "I took you and that means you belong to me. I'm not letting you go. If you go somewhere I go, if you need something I get it for you, if you want something it is yours because I will see that you have it. If you want to go back to your apartment we can but I would prefer you stay here with me since there is better security here."
"You...you want me to live with you?"
"No, I want you to marry me and be the mother of all my children, but that part comes later. Not much later because I don't want to wait too long to have my last name attached to yours."
She doesn't respond right away, instead looking down and chewing on her lips, "So I belong to you...like a possession?"
"Hell no, like an obsession. You heard my grandfather, the men in my family don't do causal when it comes to the women they make their wives. We don't do things by half, or hold anything back from the women we love."
She gasps at my words and her eyes become large and glisten with unshed tears, "You love me?"
"Little one, you own me, of course I love you and one day maybe you will grow to love me as much."
"I do!" she blurts out the words and they have a nice ring to them, "I do love you too. I thought...I thought the only reason you wanted me was because you thought I was a challenge or something."
I laugh, I can't help myself. "Well, you are that, a mystery I want to spend the rest of my life figuring out." Her smile is enough of a reward that I could go my whole life without another accomplishment as long as she was giving me this.
Her eyes and mouth form little round 'o's, "What about...um, the person who broke in? Do we...what? Why are you looking like that?"
"Like what?" I can't hide my look of satisfaction.
"Like...that isn't a problem anymore. You..., that's where you went, wasn't it. That was the thing you took care of. You went to...,"
"You will never have to worry when I am with you. I will protect you with my life. And I will make sure anyone who threatens your happiness is dealt with. Swiftly."
"Who was it?" She asks even though I can guess that she already suspects the answer. From the look on my face she can tell she guessed right, "the guy from the hotel in Japan. He came back even after you...told him not to."
"Yes."
"But now he won't ever come back?"
"No."
"So I don't have to worry about him ever again?"
"That's right, my little flower."
She gifts one of those beautiful smiles at me again and touches my cheek with her fingertips, "Thank you." She leans forward to brush her lips up against my own.
"Tell me you are going to marry me and make me a happy man. Tell me you are going to stay with me forever."
She blushes and looks at me from under her lashes but says only one word, "Yes."
I spend the rest of the night showing my little cherry blossom just how much I love her.
