“So fast? How?” I ask.
He grins at me, “You’d be surprised what money and a judge in your back pocket can accomplish.”
I stare at him in shock, “What the hell did you do to end up with a judge in your back pocket? Oh my God. Did you threaten him?”
Hunter chuckles, “I saved his little girl from being trafficked. I’m not evil.”
Finally, he relaxes.
“Did you think I would say no? You seemed wound up.”
He shakes his head, “I wasn’t afraid you’d say no. I was afraid this wouldn’t be enough for you. I want you to be happy. You wanted a proposal not a demand. I wanted to give that to you.”
Standing on my knees, I run my fingers through his hair, “Hunter you could have asked in your house. You didn’t need to go to this trouble. I just wanted to matter enough for you to ask instead of ordering me to marry you.”
He lowers his mouth to my stomach, “She said yes! You hear that!”
I giggle like a schoolgirl as he stands and lifts me into his arms, swinging me around, he sets me back on my feet, “Thank you, baby.”
Swiping the tears from my eyes, I speak honestly, “Thank you. I should be thanking you. You’ve given me my freedom from that monster over and over again.”
He places a call on his cell phone, “Bring it up.”
Then he pulls my chair out and I sit down. Hunter sits in the chair across from me looking at me like I’m the world's greatest prize.
The chef comes in and sets our plates in front of us and I cannot contain my laughter. The chef looks at me, “Enjoy your meals, ma’am, sir,” and leaves.
“Are you kidding me right now, Hayden?”
He winks at me, “Strawberry pancakes are my girl's favorite so that’s what she gets.”
I take a bite, and my God, it’s delicious.
I moan, “So good. And you’re going to eat this?”
He grins, “Of course I am. I’ll work off all the carbs tonight while I fuck my fiancée until she screams.”
I laugh again, “Does everything have to be about sex?”
Feigning a serious expression he says, “With a pussy like yours? Fuck yes, it does.”
“So that’s your life plan, then?”
He nods, “Fucking my beautiful wife and putting as many babies in her as she’ll allow? Yes, that’s my plan. Oh, and doing everything in my power to keep that stunning fucking smile on her face. I'm not interested if there’s more to life than that.”
EPILOGUE
HUNTER
Jade is making dinner as I sit on the couch with my whiskey in my hand but my gaze on her. Last night, I asked her to go to the courthouse today and finally become my wife. She declined. Looking me in the eyes, her only words were, “No.”
I’m fighting my every instinct to drag her there by her hair and tell her she has no say. I won’t, of course, because if I do that, she’ll look at me like I’m him. My father. When he decided he wanted her, she had no choice in the matter. I won’t be like him. I refuse to look at my girl and find hatred in her gaze. Yet, if I said it wasn’t driving me fucking crazy, that would be a lie.
When she finishes putting all the food on the table, she smiles, “Dinner is ready, babe.”
I nod, and rise out of my seat, making my way to the table and sit across from her.
“It smells delicious. Thank you.”
