“Good, because you are never getting away from me again.” I love the sound of that. I wasn’t looking for my own personal Norse God, but thank God he found me.
I was lost before him, but with him, I know who I am.
His.
CHAPTER 14
BALDER
I’ll admit, I fucking panicked when she wasn’t answering her phone. I hopped on the next plane home, and met up with her security detail outside a non-descript house on the other side of town. Yeah, her security detail. I might have jumped the gun on that, but you can’t be too careful when you’re in politics. The next thing I knew, I was knocking on the door of the house she was in. I had no idea whose house it was, but I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was her boss.
“How did you find me?” she asks as I move closer to her and put my hand on the back of her neck, drawing her closer to me.
“From the moment I met you I have had security on you when I am not with you. Do I look like the kind of man who would leave his most precious gift without protection?”
“I’m so sorry,” she blurts out. “I love you. I was just scared.” I kiss her forehead, my grip on the back of her neck tightening.
“I know, little one. I know. Are you done running now?” She nods and wraps her arms around my waist.
“I’m done. I don’t want to run from what we have found anymore. I want it. I need it. I need you, Balder.” I lift her into my arms, her legs wrapping around my waist.
“Good, because you are never getting away from me again.” I carry her out of the house.
“Take tomorrow off, Summer. I’ll take care of everything,” her boss says.
“Thank you. I’ll get my stuff later.”
“I’ll bring it to work.”
“Thanks,” Summer says, and we are out the door. I put her in the passenger seat of my SUV and take off towards home. Our home.
Once there, I lift her into my arms again and carry her to our room. Our bed, setting her down in front of it. She’s wearing loose flowing pajamas which she starts to take off.
“Good girl,” I growl doing the same. She turns around for a minute and I take the opportunity to put my phone and the ring box that’s been burning a hole in my pocket onto the closet nightstand. When she’s naked, she rips the covers down the bed and crawls into the center of it, giving me a perfect view of her ass.
I climb over her, kissing her, driving her wild with my tongue and fingers before I slide into her.
“I love you, Balder,” she says, arching her back.
“I love you too, Summer. So fucking much.”
I thrust in and out of her, harder and harder hitting that spot inside of her that makes her come like crazy. She cries out my name and claws at my back while I fill her with my seed.
“Fuck,” she moans when she comes back to Earth. “Why would I ever run from this? I’m silly.”
“No baby, you needed to be loved. I’m the man that’s going to love you forever. You’re mine. I’m yours. Marry me. Be my wife and the mother of my children. Let me love you until we die, wrapped up in each other years from now.”
“You want to marry me?”
“Fuck yes, Summer,” I’m still firmly planted inside of her, but I reach over to the nightstand and grab the ring box. “This belonged to my great-great something Grandmother Brynhild. She was the first Jorgensen bride to tell a skald about the way Jorgensen men love their wives. We’re just the most recent in a legendary line of epic love stories. Marry me.”
“Yes, Balder Jorgensen. I will marry you,” she whispers, tears filling her whiskey brown eyes.
“Thank fuck,” I say kissing her.
No wasn’t really an option. I can’t… no… I won’t live without her.
TWO AGONIZINGLY LONG WEEKS LATER
I hated that we had to wait to get married, but Summer wanted her brother to be there, and he wasn’t able to get leave until the day before yesterday, but he’s here now and he’s a great guy. I’ve noticed how he stares at my sister, but that’s a whole different story.
I wait at the altar with my brothers as music begins to play. Since I only have Ødger to stand beside me, she made the difficult decision to ask Sassy, one of her best friends to be her matron of honor. It was a tough decision, but they all agreed it should be her since she’s the least pregnant of the group. My mother was able to fold Summer into our family. Between my mother, Sif, Marina, and Summer they planned this wedding with military precision. Sassy comes down the aisle first and stands off to the side. Then Summer comes into the room, on her brother’s arm. Everything but her fades into the background. She looks fucking gorgeous in her huge white dress. She looks so happy. She’s practically floating. When she reaches me, her brother places her hand in mine. Without thinking, I lean down and kiss her, but quickly straighten when I remember where we are and what we’re doing.
