“Loved?” Eden stutters, her jaw dropping further, and a gasp joins it when I flip open the box, showing off the incredible emerald teardrop ring nestled snugly inside the box.
“Loved beyond measure, baby girl. My entire family is bound to tell you that I swore I’d never get married or have kids, and it’s true. I never wanted any of that until you blasted your way straight into my heart. One look at you and I was done. I wanted you as mine for life. I wanted these babies in you,” I add, pressing a kiss to her belly over the soft flowing dress she’s now wearing. “What I feel for you is unlike anything I experienced with any woman before, and the only way my heart would ache the way it did the last two months, is if it was missing its other half. I love you, kitten, and I intend to love you for the rest of our lives together. This is the one time I’ll ask nicely, so your answer better be yes, or I’m going to carry you down to the courthouse and demand you do it.
“Eden Kristine James, will you marry me? Make me the happiest man on earth to be able to claim all of you, our babies growing inside you, and the babies in the other room as mine?” I ask, holding my breath for half a second as she stares quietly at me.
Her head starts nodding before the words leave her mouth, and I lift her in my arms, kissing them away. “Yes, yes, just please don’t ever…”
I shush her gently, seeing the rest of it in her eyes. “I will never hurt you, Eden. Real daddies don’t hurt their babies. You’ll see, I’ll never make any of you cry anything but happy tears—but very few of even them because that shit breaks my heart, baby girl. The heart that was missing until you came into my life.”
I steal her lips once more, stopping when I’m barely holding it together, my cock a sheet of steel inside my pants. I slip the ring onto her finger, letting her take in the delicacy of the wedding band I fully intend to slip onto her finger shortly as well.
“It’s beautiful, Jude. I-I…it feels too good to be true,” she adds, her eyes just slightly hesitant as she looks up at me, and I drop another kiss onto her lips, calming her further.
“I promise it’s not. You’ll never have to worry about anything ever again, kitten. I love you and even if you’re not ready to say it, I know you’re mine, that you feel it too. You wouldn’t have given yourself to me if you weren’t feeling it that day. I know that now. With everything you’ve been through, I’ll wait until you’re ready to say it, but I won’t wait to make you a Cartwright in every way, okay?” I state, holding her gaze, and she nods, a smile creeping onto her lips as I brush away the hint of tears along her lashes.
“Okay,” she agrees, letting me move us back to the front room to see the babies and the first thing my sisters notice is the ring on Eden’s finger.
“Spill, now, or we’re telling Eden all your flaws,” Jaime threatens, and I settle onto the love seat with my girl, Emma in my arms while Eden rests her head on my shoulder, making Mom grin.
I give them the abbreviated version I told Jesse, leaving out a few more bits they don’t need to hear, but I can see Mom reading between the lines when Eden tenses when I tell them about the guard dragging her towards the exit. She fusses over Eden even more after it, and the simple hugs from Mom does more for Eden than any words ever could I realize.
It lets me know that not only do I need to tell my girl what she means to me, I need to show her it as well. That works for me though, especially if it includes showing her how much I adore her body starting tonight.
Chapter 6
Eden
Asliver of nervousness rushes through me as Jude locks the door behind Annie as she leaves. The babies are all upstairs asleep, and god, watching Jude with Emma all night seriously has my body wired. He was amazing with the boys as well, but Emma’s taken a shine to him that’s undeniable. Jude just soaked it all up as well, and I have no doubt that he’s telling the truth that he wants to claim them as well as me.
I don’t know why I’m nervous suddenly now. I wasn’t earlier when he held me, saw what my changing body looked like, so I can’t explain this feeling now.
“Come here, baby girl,” Jude says as he turns my way, his blue eyes sparking with hunger as they roam over me, and my feet instantly comply, even while my head is still playing catch up.
My hands grab hold of his shoulders as he lifts me into his arms, and a little squeal slips past my lips when he moves one of his hands off me to turn off the lights behind us.
“I’m not about to drop you, baby girl,” he teases, his lips whispering over my face distracting me until we’re in the bedroom.
My feet barely hit the floor before the maxi dress is pooling at my feet, and Jude’s fingers are sliding over my suddenly hard nipples. A moan sticks in my throat as he pulls on them, before his hands cover them entirely, making them ache in entirely new ways.
“I knew you weren’t wearing a bra tonight. You were teasing me with these pretty plump peaks all night, kitten.” His words are grunted out, making my panties nearly dissolve with the rushing wetness flowing from me. It merely worsens when his mouth closes over a nipple, sucking and nipping on my flesh until a sweet orgasm makes my knees buckle.
Jude lays me back onto the bed, tugging my ass to the edge then kneels between my legs, teasing me along the now transparent spot on my panties. “So, fucking wet, such a good girl, aren’t you, baby?”
“Yes,” I moan as his mouth covers me over the material, making my hips buck. “Please…oh god, please.”
“Please what, baby girl?” Jude questions, his tongue pressing harder against the material almost, but not quite reaching my pulsing clit.
“Please don’t tease me, daddy,” slips from me, followed by a new whine in my throat when his hands tighten on my hips.
The next instant, my panties are gone, his mouth covering my pussy and I arch into his touch, needing it and more. He kisses all along my slit, then moves up further, lathing attention on my clit, and I can’t stop the orgasm rushing through me again. He laps it up, his mouth continuing to devour me, pulling two more orgasms from me, before his fingers brush against my lips, teasing me with the new touches until I’m trying not to scream and wake the babies.
“Daddy, please…” I beg, the name falling easily from my lips, turning his eyes even darker, while pulling a growl from him that releases my clit. It throbs in the best way, and I hum when his fingers pump into me, rubbing my g-spot sending me wild as his mouth covers mine. His fingers rub harder, shooting me over the edge again, and he swallows my scream of pleasure, that his taste and mine mixing together simply add to.
My body is weightless as he lifts me higher onto the bed, and there’s no pain as he fills me slowly, his incredible length stretching me further. A shiver races through me as his face rests against mine, our noses brushing as we breathe, and I know I’m home. Right here, in his arms, filled by him, is my home.
“I love you, baby girl, so fucking much. Nothing can compare to this right here, right now,” he says, shocking me at the closeness of our thoughts, and the words want to come out, so badly, but they stick in my throat, making me keen instead. “That’s my sweet little kitten, yes, you need this, need more, don’t you?”
“Yes, Jude, please daddy,” I state, before thoughts desert me as he moves his fine ass in and out of me, until I’m a quivering mess, my nails digging into his back, needing to come yet again.
