“Let’s burn those clothes.” Her face is pale. “I don’t want to wear them again. They’ll remind me of…”

I capture her next words with a kiss, silencing her. “We’ll get rid of them, I promise,” I say when the kiss is over. “Right now, the only thing that matters is us. Okay?”

A wave of exhaustion crosses her features. She gazes up at me. “It is over, then? Really, truly over?”

“Yes, baby.” I lean forward and plant a soft kiss on her forehead. “It’s really, truly over.”

Seconds later, my girl is naked, lying on the bed, looking up at me with those eyes I could drown in. “Jesus, you’re so fucking beautiful, Kat.”

“Even all banged up and bruised?” She reaches up to touch the scar on her cheek that’s still healing.

“You have always been the most beautiful woman in the world to me.” I kneel down on the bed. “You always will be, Katrina.” My throat gets tight with emotion. “I was stupid as hell to ever let you go, Kat. You know, I think when I was young and dumb, I was looking for a father figure, someone to admire and to try to make me proud, since my dad was too busy drinking himself to death. I guess I joined my first MC because of that. I gave up the one person who loved me for who I was, for what?” I shake my head. “I was a damn fool back then. But I swear to you I ain’t that fool anymore.”

“Oh, Connor.” Her eyes grow wet with tears.

“I love you so much, Katrina. Shit, today I was afraid I’d lost you for real this time. You’re not gonna be out of my sight for a good long time, you know that?”

She lets out an amused groan. “You’re not going to start following me to work again, are you?”

“I might,” I concede. “But you know, there is something you could do, to ease my mind.”

“What’s that?”

“Marry me.”

“What?”

I climb over on top of her, so she’s staring up at me. “I mean it. Say yes. Say you’ll be my family. That we’ll have a lifetime together. We’ll have every morning, and every night, and everything in between. That you’ll let me keep you safe.” I bend down and kiss her stomach. “That you’ll let me put a baby in you. Hell, a whole football team of babies.”

Happy tears are streaming down her face. “I don’t know about a whole football team,” she laughs.

“Is that a yes, then?”

She sighs, sniffles, and wraps her arms around my neck. “God, yes, that’s a yes, Connor. It’s all I’ve ever wanted since I was sixteen years old.You’reall I’ve ever wanted. And football team of children or not, I’ll take a life with you over anything else in this world. You’re the only family I need.”

I look down at her in wonder, and I can’t help but thank the fucking universe for giving this woman back to me. “You have a whole big family now, babe. You’ve got me, and Gigi, and every last damn person in the Royal Bastards. And you couldn’t get rid of any of us if you tried.”

“Stop talking and fuck me, Connor,” she says, eyes flashing.

I groan. “Oh, Jesus, baby. That mouth is gonna be the death of me.”

I move between her thighs, my cock throbbing for her. In one thrust, I’m inside her, holding myself deep for a few seconds just to close my eyes and feel her heat around me. Kat locks her legs around my hips.

“My wife,” I rasp.

“Yes. Connor. Fury. I’m yours.”

I know I can’t hold on for very long. I need her too much. I need to fill her. To lose myself inside her. Kat’s arms tighten around my neck as she moans and rocks her hips up to meet each of my thrusts. Jesus God, she feels good. “So close, baby. Can’t stop.”

“Connor… I need you… I’m going to come…”

Her words set off the bomb inside me. Seconds later I’m shouting her name, erupting inside her white-hot as she shudders and comes apart around me. We ride out the aftershocks together, holding on for dear life, both of us knowing it’s just the beginning for us. The beginning of a lifetime of this. Ofus.

Later, we drift off to sleep, still locked together. Her presence fills every corner of my mind, pushing away everything else. I could drown in the softness of her skin. The scent of her hair. The contented sound of her breathing as she falls asleep in my arms.

My Kat. Kat. Kat. How did I ever live without you?

She’s always been it for me. There’s never been anyone else.
