I snap the lid shut and slip it in my pocket. Beneath it in the box sits a set of fern green lingerie wrapped in black paper and tied with a silver ribbon.

I know she’s used to living in rough country, but she deserves to feel beautiful and spoiled now and then.

She never asks for anything.

I hear her steps, rushing up the stairs. I move fast, snapping the box shut and setting it in the dresser. The door bursts open and she’s there, still in her coat and boots. Eyes glassy and lashes wet.

“Angel is having a baby,” she bursts out.

She runs to me and I lift her in my arms. Her legs wrap around my waist and her arms encircle my neck. It’s the first time she’s done this and my heart is pounding. But I have to play it cool, I don’t want her getting self-conscious.

“How do you feel about being a grandmother?” I ask.

She laughs, her head falling back.

Fuck, she’s pretty and I’m getting hard at the wrong time.

She sobers, sliding from my arms and stripping her boots and coat off. I watch her shed the rest of her clothes, leaving them in a trail on the floor. This time I just gather them up and drop them into the chair without saying anything.

She climbs naked into the bed and pulls the blankets up to her chin.

“I’m so cold. Do you want to go out and see Angel after dinner?” she asks.

I shake my head. “No, I have an appointment tonight.”

Her face falls and I lift my brow.

“Don’t pout,” I tell her.

She rearranges her face, but I can tell she’s crestfallen. “Okay, that’s fine. I’ll probably eat with Maddie in the kitchen then.”

“Maddie actually asked me if you would go down and help her out with dinner tonight,” I say, trying to keep my voice casual. “She’s finally admitted you make the best biscuits.”

She smiles, although I can tell she’s disappointed. But she’s a good girl and she’d never complain about it. I cross the room and bend to kiss her waiting mouth and she grips the front of my shirt.

“Do you want a quickie?” she asks, a flush creeping up her face.

That’s tempting.

I cup her right breast, rubbing her nipple until it’s hard beneath my thumb. I should wait until tonight, after she’s got my ring on her finger. But, fuck it, I can go as many round as she needs tonight.

She yelps as I flip her over the edge of the bed. Her spine arches and I can tell she’s wet. She wanted to be fucked all along, that’s why she stripped and got into bed. Holding her by the hair with one hand, I take my cock out with the other and push it mercilessly into her pussy.

She yelps.

“You wanted it,” I tell her, slapping her thigh.

I fuck her until I come, but I don’t get her off. I want her needy and dripping so she has to think of my cock in her every time she feels her wet panties against her clit. She’s panting, still bent over the bed, when I tuck my cock into my pants and kiss the nape of her neck.

“Good girl,” I praise. “See you tonight.”

I leave her there, naked except for my collar.

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR

KEIRA

Everyone is being unusually nice to me. Maddie never wants help in the kitchen, but tonight she has me cutting out sheets of biscuits. She has an ancient record player in the corner of the kitchen and we work to the muffled sound of classical music.
