“She’ll never bother us again. I want you to know I talked to her before we left, I needed to make sure she didn’t do anything to me while I was passed out.”
Her breath caught in her throat.
“And?”
“She told me she had been getting dressed when you came back. She got the idea to crawl into the bed with me because she heard you coming up the stairs.”
Maebh’s eyes filled with anger.
“I told her to never look my way. She’ll never be a problem again, I promise you.”
“Okay, but I need you to know something. I’m not the type of woman who runs away from a problem, Cord. But seeing her standing in your place with nothing but your shirt on, and the things she said… It messed with me head a bit, I won’t lie. I don’t want to be jealous, but I am a wee bit.”
I cupped her face with my hands. “You’re the only woman I want. The only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to build a house together and fill it with babies and puppies.”
Maebh giggled. “Babies?” she asked, her eyes lighting up like Christmas morning. “How many babies are we talking about?”
“As many as you want. I love you, and I will always love you and only you. You’re it for me, Maebh. I can’t imagine living this life without you. I may have been scared when we first started dating, but I’m not anymore. I can’t promise you I won’t fuck up because this is still so new to me. All I know is that you make me feel alive and I’ve never loved anyone like I love you Please tell me you’re coming back home with me.”
Her teeth sank into her lip, and it felt like my entire world stopped in that moment as I waited for her to speak. I didn’t breathe, my heart didn’t beat, everything was at a stand-still.
“This will always be home, Cord. But now I have two homes. Here and Oak Springs.”
Relief rushed over my body and I took in a breath.
“I learned something the last few days though.”
“What’s that?” I asked, my thumb gliding over her soft cheek.
“Ireland is a part of me. I need her spirit to fill me soul. I want to come back often. Me da is going to be staying here, with the distillery. They need him, and I know that. But I want to visit more often.”
I nodded. “I think we can do that. Especially if he sends that private plane of his.”
Maebh giggled.
“Speaking of, Jesus H. Christ, Maebh. What in the fuck is all of this? You live in a castle? Darlin’ you’ve got some explaining to do.”
She rolled her eyes. “It’s not a castle like the Blarney Castle. Me family on Da’s side does have a bit of Irish nobility though. Not that it means much today. Me Da’s grandmother though, she is of British nobility. Lady Darby Grady is her given name. She is a very wealthy woman and very English. And me great-grandmother as well. They are both decedents of King Henry the eighth.”
“Wow. I’ll have to keep that bit of information in mind when we have fights cuz ol’ Henry didn’t fare too well at the end.” I rubbed my neck, and she playfully hit me on the chest, her body now fully seated on me. My cock was pushing up into her pussy and not only was my head spinning from being sick, but also because she was sitting on me.
“No, seriously, that’s pretty cool.”
She shrugged after a few seconds. “I don’t think much of it and neither did my parents. Me father built the distillery on his own and made it what it is today without the help of his ma or grandmother. She of course thinks we are Irish fools who don’t respect her English ways.”
“Is she right?”
Maebh simply winked and leaned down to kiss me. “We’ll talk about me family later. For right now, I want to kiss those lips. I hope you’re not still contagious.”
“I’m not, and if I am, I’ll take care of you when you get sick.”
Wrapping her arms around my neck, she leaned closer. My hand slipped behind her neck and brought her mouth to mine in a hard, needy kiss.
The emotion we both poured into the kiss was evident. Each of us saying how sorry we were, and how nothing like this would ever come between us again. It was fucking amazing what could be said with the silence of one kiss.
Maebh pulled back first, her forehead rested on mine while she breathed deeply.
“Promise me something, agra.”
“Anything,” she panted.
“You’ll talk to me next time. If anything scares you, or you think something is happening, talk to me before you leave.”
She drew her head back and pierced my eyes with hers. “I’ll never leave you again, I swear. And I also promise you I’ll never run again. If we have problems, we’ll talk to each other first.”
