“Thanks. I actually feel sexy in it.” She answers me but then her face lights up. I notice she is looking over my shoulder and I turn to find Carter walking in. Still sporting the black eyes from the fight, he spots Lavinia immediately and he makes his way over to our table.
“Ladies.” He smiles acknowledging all of us.
“Carter. I am surprised to see you here on ladies night.” Sadie chides him.
“Well someone has to come watch out for you ladies. Especially when your husbands don’t.” He says the words, but his eyes are on Vini. The atmosphere begins to heat up and something feels a bit uncomfortable. “Come dance with me.” He holds his hand out, no attention paid to the rest of us. In the same trance as him, Lavinia takes his hand and walks onto the dance floor with him.
“Uhm should we say something?” Rachel asks, concerned. I know what she means. My gut is telling me to intervene and remind her she is a married woman, but this is the first genuine smile I have seen from her since she married Alton. I wish she would talk to us. Standing, I walk over to the bar to get the tab so maybe we can leave and get her out of this situation.
“What the hell are you wearing?” My head whips around and standing in front of the door is Jude, flanked by Jasper. Oh crap. I purposely didn’t let him see me before I left.
“Clothes,” I tell him, batting my eyelashes. Jasper moves past us to get to his wife before going to his brother. I watch them getting into a screaming match. Carter puts Vini behind him while pushing his brother back. Sadie puts her hand on his chest trying to calm him down.
“Alright smartass. What do you say you and I get out of here and I can prove to you what you’re wearing isn’t clothes.” My face begins to heat up, but I nod my head and lean into him. With one hand behind my head and the other on my behind. He groans into my mouth, pulling me flush against him. I can feel the outline of his bulge and it hits right where my pleasure button is.
I moan back at him, trying to rub furiously, get the right friction because something about being in a public place being mauled by my husband who is insatiable because of me, is making this moment even more sensual. “Alright you two knock it off,” Tobias says, clearing the table. Ducking my head I pull back and giggle, hiding in Jude’s shirt.
“Maybe if you weren’t such a grumpy ass, Lloyd would match you sooner.” Tobias doesn’t respond. He simply scowls and takes the plates off the table.
Jasper and Sadie take off ahead of us, with Rachel and Miriam in tow. I look and see Lavinia is still with Carter, but now they are sitting close together in the booth. “Should we just leave her here?” I ask Jude, conflicted about what to do.
“Baby girl, your sister is a grown woman. You can’t make her leave and I know Carter. He might like her, hell I believe he might like her a lot, but he also respects the sanctity of marriage. In my opinion, he is simply trying to make her feel good. Something her idiot husband should be doing.” Everything he says makes sense and though everything in me is telling me to go to her, I listen to my husband and walk out, telling myself to go see her tomorrow.
Home with the door locked, my husband turns and looks at me, licking his lips. “So, did you enjoy your girls night out?” His voice is low and tempered, but his eyes are sparked full of fire. My knees begin to shake. His hands are unbuttoning his shirt and watching those big fingers makes my stomach clench.
“It was fun.” I manage to say, while being immobile.
“I’m glad baby. I want you to have fun and make friends and do whatever the hell it is you want to do.”
“I know.” Licking my lips I watch his shirt hit the floor exposing his naked chest to me. I sat up one night and counted his abs, I think they call it. He has six of them and they all feel like bricks.
“Good. It makes me happy that you know all I want is to make you happy. But what you don’t get to do is show my skin and body to anyone, baby girl.” He moves in front of me, and rips open my shirt. “All of this belongs to me, baby. From your beautiful dark hair, to your porcelain skin down to your fucking pinky toe. And a skirt that comes above your knees is too much fucking skin.”
“I-I’m sorry.” I breathe out so aroused it is leaking down my thighs. He pulls my skirt down and lifts me under my butt. I wrap my legs around him and look into his eyes. “I love you so much, husband.” He kisses my nose and walks up the stairs.
“You are my life, wife. Forever.”
Epilogue
Jude
Ten Months Later
“Come little princess, let’s be quiet so mommy can sleep.” I rock my three-week-old daughter Luz in my arms after changing her diaper and putting her pacifier in her mouth. Three weeks ago, my wife, my partner and my best friend gave birth to this little ray of light, named Luz Alexandria Blackstone, the jewel in my heart.
The past ten months have been a whirlwind of triumphs and love. My wife finished driver's ed, learned to swim, and began her online personalized designs business. She named it: From Hannah with Love.
Four months ago, the construction crew finished her studio in our backyard, and she even has a staff member to help out. My mother who used to be an interior designer came and helped out with the nursery and the town is moving in the right direction. But nothing beats the miracle in my arms right now. Looking down at my sweet girl, tears come to my eyes when a teeny hiccup leaves her mouth. “Do you need to sit up, princess?” I ask changing her position and pat her back.
Her tiny squawks make me smile, especially when her little pink face scrunches up and she tries to make her presence known but she is still so tiny. Gripping her tiny hands, I wait for her to wrap her hand around mine and the peace that comes with having this little person to protect is unparalleled. She snuggles into my arms and attempts to fall asleep again. I cherish these moments because usually she is squealing for her mama’s milk, and I am just the lovestruck fool staring at the two loves of my life.
In the still of the night I hear the nails of her two protectors hitting the floor as they realize I snuck in the room and took their paramour. “Well you guys are so late.” I tease Hulk and Sol who are staring at me like I stole their chew toy. It's adorable really how much they love the baby. Not surprising though because from the moment the at home pregnancy test said positive, proving I nailed her on the first time, they have been underfoot with my wife, which has now extended to the baby.
“They are not late. They are right on time,” my wife says, walking into the room, with her swollen tits covered by the nursing pad. I am such a fucking dog myself because as exhausted and sore she still is from child birth, I can’t stop myself from drooling every fucking time she walks in the room.
“Did they wake you up?” I ask her, moving my arms so she can’t take the little one from my arms like a petulant child.
“They did. Sol came and nudged me, and Hulk stood by the crib showing me you were both missing,” Scowling when I finally hand the baby over, her silent cries a plea to drink from her mama’s achy nipples, I turn and look at my dogs.
“Traitors,” I tell them, before going over to the cabinet and throwing them both a treat. I might be a bit butt hurt, but they did the right thing. In a matter of minutes, Luz would be yelling down the house. Instead of being a man brat, I go sit on the couch beside my wife and pull her and our baby on my lap. “How are you feeling, baby girl?” She looks up at me and smiles, before nudging my cheek with her head.
“Tired. But I have never been happier.” Leaning down, I kiss our sweet girl's cheek and look back at my wife.
“Me either, baby. I don't know how to thank you for this precious gift you carried, nurtured and put in my arms. For the love and devotion you show me and for you utter trust. I will never be worthy of your love, wife, but I will forever endeavor to be. I love you so much. You and our princess.” Her eyes tear up in love. Something that used to freak me out but after watching her give birth, a few tears is nothing.
“Oh, babe you more than deserve my love. You own it. You gave me something I never thought I would have: A love that comes with freedom. You gave me the space and capability to find myself and make it the best version of me. You showed me that real love is patient, sexy, and filled with light and colors. You continue to help me make all of my dreams come true, including this beautiful little girl we have created. I love you both so much, Jude. Forever.” She snuggles into my chest, and I sigh, feeling all the love in this surrounding us. The dogs settle at our feet, and I look around at all I have and think: What more could a man ask for?
