“Why does it feel like you’re secretly Batman and that your butler is Alfred Pennyworth?” I laughed at my joke while cuddling my new poochy.
Brick laughed as his hand curled around my back and drew me closer.
“For you, gorgeous, I’ll be anything you want me to be as long as you’re safe and happy.”
“You’ve got a deal.” My heart was still beating frantically as I tried to come to terms with my new home, my new boyfriend, and that I was going to become a mother soon.
“I think we’ll call you Mable.” The puppy wriggled in my arms.
“Mable?” Brick said with a doubtful tone.
“No? Jenny? Josephine? Francis?” I offered, and he shook his head to all of them.
“Maggie?” he offered, and my eyes went wide.
“I like that.” I nodded. “Are you a Maggie?”
The puppy, no bigger than my hands really, barked and squirmed. I put her back next to my neck and followed blissfully behind Brick. We strolled into an elevator, and it started before I even caught onto the fact that he had an elevator in his mansion. “You have a lift in your home!”
“Oh yes, and it stops when I want it to, as well.” He gave me a wicked wink but didn’t press anything to make it stop. “Let’s get you both settled, then we’ll explore.”
“Sure,” I replied, only now feeling the shock at just how rich he must be. It had started to settle in, but then I saw Maggie earlier, and that was it. But now? Damn, he was uber-rich. This was billionaire money. Maybe more.
We walked into a room where I placed the puppy down on a bed that matched the one in his cabin. The room was equally dark, but Brick walked over and threw open the curtains. From four stories up, I felt like I was in the clouds, a princess in a high castle.
Hurrying over to the small veranda outside of the double doors, the view went on for miles—the small valley below and miles and miles of sky.
“Oh, it’s beautiful. I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. All this can’t be real.”
“Wait until you see what I have planned soon,” he promised with a gleam in his eye.
“What? Like what?” I asked, sitting on the bed and petting Maggie. She was all over me right away, licking every inch of me she could reach, then lying on my lap, only to bounce up and start all over again.
“So much, Amelia. I want to share everything with you,” he said with a pleased smile, taking my hand and dropping a tender kiss on my knuckles. “But first, I’ve called the doctor to pay us a visit and check that you and the baby are okay.”
I almost burst out crying at his thoughtfulness, my emotions swinging all over the place, but one thing was certain. I was really happy for the first time in my life.
“So, are you going to be a good girl for me?” he teased.
“I’m always a good girl, Brick, you know that.” I grinned at him, sliding off the bed to stand in front of him. “But I need things, too.”
“Like what?”
“Well… lots of orgasms, exploring all kinds of weird things in sex, and cake every now and then. I love chocolate cake, but otherwise, that’s all I’ll ask for. Oh, and if we can spend all the celebrations at the cabin. That’s where I met you and where my life changed for the better. It’s where I finally knew what a real Christmas was supposed to be like.” I placed my hand over his heart and felt its steady beat.
“I promise, Amelia, we’ll go there every year.” He collected me into his arms. “I don’t know what happened to me or what spell you have over me, but I never want to stop feeling this way. I want to explore the world with you. I want to tell you everything I’ve seen, give you all the foods to try, and see how many times I can bring you to climax in one day.” He chuckled, then kissed my nose. “But first, we need to pick out a room for the nursery and start preparing for our baby. I’m about to become a dad, and I can’t fucking wait.”
I might have started crying at his words.
“You have no idea how good that sounds.”
“We’ll do that, and I’ll take care of you both.”
“And you’ll do an amazing job.” I leaned over to kiss him.
“I will, Amelia, for the rest of my days,” he promised, and I planned to hold him to it. “I’m going to show you what truly being loved looks like.”
My heart sped up because he’d just said the four-letter word, and I might have swooned on the spot. He chuckled, then dragged me against him, his mouth on mine, our bodies clashing.
