“You’re such as ass,” she choked out. I smiled and kissed her again. “I know you love me, too.” I grinned.
“Daimon.” She stopped pushing me away a little. “It’s not okay for you to do these things without talking to me first. You don't own me,” she said, trying to calm down.
“I own your heart,” I said without hesitation.
“Yes, you do, but you won’t own it forever if you keep this up. I am my own person. I don't want to be the old Addie. I want to live and you can’t cage me up thinking you can control me,” Addie replied, looking right into my eyes.
“God, this was so much easier with our contract,” I muttered, annoyed.
“You signed my contract which stipulated none of this,” she pointed out. I signed the damn thing wanting her back, not thinking she would use it against me.
“Are you seriously using the contract now?” I asked roughly.
“I'm saying you can’t do anything you like without informing me. You said we were equals.” She threw the damn words I used on her.
“That was then. Now you’re carrying my baby,” I retorted.
“Our baby,” she corrected. “I'm going for a run. This is the one and last time you pull this shit, Daimon. Next time, I swear it’s not going to go so easily,” she threatened.
“Addie, I do what I want when you’re involved.” I narrowed my eyes. Since when did I lose to her?
“Fine then I’ll do the same.” Addie smiled at me. “Jimmy?” she called as she stepped out of my arms. “I'm off for my run. Let’s go.” She passed him and headed to the elevator where Drako was already waiting for us to finish. I was left there alone. Damn, she had me wrapped me around her little finger. She wanted the real me, but she didn’t always like it. I sighed. Our future would no doubt remain interesting.

“Your meetings have been cancelled this afternoon,” my secretary announced to me as she stood in my office.
“What? Why?” I hissed at her.
“Because I told her to,” Addie said, walking in with Rafe.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I said angrily at Rafe.
“Don’t look at me. Your wife did it.” Rafe pointed at her.
“Beloved, I don’t like you doing that,” I said, trying to hold back my anger.
“Now you know how it feels when someone rules your life.” She smiled.
“Addie, it’s not funny.”
“Relax, I made sure it was okay with Rafe first. He told me there wasn’t much of anything today so I took my chance,” Addie added.
“Daimon, just leave already,” Rafe said, dismissing me.
“Leave?”
“You don't think I cancelled your day for nothing. Come on, grumpy, I planned us a date,” Addie said, still smiling. I stepped around my desk, taking her hand.
“I’ll do this as long as you never do it again,” I said as I brought her hand up to my lips.
“Just as long as you don’t pull any shit either.” She winked.
“Where to?” I held onto Addie’s hand as we walked around downtown. It was still February but the weather had grown mild as the snow melted a little.
“Don’t know. Any where you want,” she said to me as she leaned into my arm.
“How are you feeling today?”
“I’m okay. I'm not getting any morning sickness. The only thing I want to do is sleep.” She tightened her arm around me.
“Good. I was worried you’d be feeling sick.” I leaned in and kissed the top of her head.
“It seems the baby is already controlling me. I think he takes after you,” she murmured quietly.
“He?” I asked.
“Can’t help but think it’s going to be a boy,” she offered. A boy. My boy. Our boy. We continued to walk around, Addie laughing and telling me what kind of parents we’d be. I watched her as she was happily dancing around me and kissing me.
“Will you love me when I get huge?” She pouted.
“Since all I see is you, then yes. I will still love you when you get huge. With my baby inside you, there will be more of you to love.”
“Daimon, I’m scared. How big will I get?” she said, making a face.
“I doubt you will. You hardly eat and you run all the time,” I reassured her. I stopped us in front a store.
“What are you doing?” Addie asked.
“Let’s go in here.” I pointed and winked.
“Daimon, it’s a baby store?”
“I know I can read.” Taking her hand, I dragged her inside.
“Yes? Can we help you?” a sales lady asked as we stood around, no doubt looking like new parents.
“I need everything,” I said to her as I looked down at Addie.
“Daimon, seriously?”
“Whatever she wants, just order it,” I instructed.
“Yes, sir.”
“What are you doing?” Addie asked.
“We’re new parents. Shouldn’t we start by getting ready?” I watched her carefully.
“I thought you didn’t want all this. So I didn’t push for more, worried you’d be upset,” she breathed nervously.
