I chuckle as I place a hand on Abigail’s lower back. When we walk to the house, I lean into her and whisper, “You look breathtaking in the dress.”
She smiles up at me. “I wore it for you.”
I hold her back as my family heads into the house, and turning to face her, I ask, “Are you okay? Did the fuckers trigger anything?”
Abigail wraps her arms around me, leaning her cheek against my chest. “I’m grossed out when any other man touches me. There was a moment when it all rushed back, but I managed to push the demons away.” Turning her head, she stares up at me, her eyes soft with love. “You’re the only man who can touch me.”
My mouth curves as I brush some strands of hair from her face. “Am I an asshole for loving that?”
She lets out a burst of laughter. “No, just my overly jealous and possessive caveman.”
“Are you coming?” Grandma calls from the front door.
“Yes,” Abigail answers excitedly. “I’m starving.”
We follow my grandmother to the dining room and take our seats. A feast is spread over the table, which has Abigail salivating next to me.
I grab her plate and load it with a bit of everything, and only when my woman is eating, do I help myself.
Mom lets out a happy sigh before she says, “Remind me to give you some clothes before you go home.”
“Clothes?” Abigail frowns, then her eyes widen. “Shit…I mean, shoot, I didn’t bring anything.”
“Don’t worry.” I wink at her. “I’ll take you shopping tomorrow.”
A wide smile spreads over her face. “You might regret it. I’m a shopaholic.”
“I’ll never regret spending time with you.”
Mom’s laughter draws our attention. “I need to record this. When you come home and complain about having to sit through a whole day of Abigail trying on clothes, I’m playing it back to you.”
“And trust me, it will take an entire day,” Abigail chuckles
The food is so good I help myself to a second plateful and load more onto Abigail’s plate while I’m at it.
After we’re all done stuffing our faces, we move to the living room to have coffee with my parents.
Abigail glances at my family, and I see emotion tightening her features. “Thank you for coming for me.”
“Of course,” Dad murmurs. “You’re family.”
Abigail takes a deep breath, blinking fast to keep the tears back. I pull her tightly to my side and press a kiss to her hair.
“I’ve never felt like I belonged until I met you all,” she admits. “I’m so glad I wore Nikolai down.”
We all chuckle at her comment, then I say, “It’s time for us to head home. I’m sure Abigail is exhausted after the day she’s had.”
“Oh, let me just grab you some clothes,” Mom exclaims before running out of the living room.
While we wait, I mention to Dad, “I’ll check with the buyer tomorrow to set up a meeting for the diamonds. I’d like to move them as soon as possible.”
“I agree.”
Mom comes back in with a small bag and hands it to Abigail. “It’s just something to sleep in and clothes for when you go shopping tomorrow.”
“Thank you so much.” Abigail gives Mom a quick hug before we finally head to the door.
I take the bag from Abigail, and wishing everyone a good night’s rest, we walk toward the woods.
