“Marry me,” he says.
He doesn’t ask, but he’s not the type. Those pale blue eyes demand the answer he knows he’s going to get. Because he gets everything he fucking wants.
So I give it.
“Yes,” I whisper.
He slips the ring on my finger. I lift my hand and turn it slowly to catch the firelight. It’s stunning.
He gets to his feet, taking my face in his hands. When he kisses me, my heart beats so fast it feels like it’s going to lift from my chest. He’s so good at it and I’m fucked. Fucked for the slow, thorough way he kisses. Like I’m the most important thing in the world.
When he pulls back, I’m so choked up I can’t speak.
“My redbird,” he murmurs, running his fingers through my hair. “I have something else for you.”
He releases me and flips the lid on the box on the bed. Inside is a delicate, moss green set of lingerie. I’ve never had real lingerie before, but I’ve always wanted at least one nice set. I bite my lip and glance up at him, suddenly shy.
“You want me to wear that?” I whisper.
“You will wear it,” he says.
He strips me slowly and I’m glad I just took a shower and shaved everything.
The panties slip up my legs and the soft lace settles over my hips. They fit me perfectly, made for the curves of my body. I wonder if it’s a custom set. There’s no tags. He lifts the bra and it looks so strange in his big, rough hands.
“You’re my wife and my submissive,” he says firmly, eyes locking on mine. “You sit at my feet because you choose to. Do you understand?”
I nod shakily.
Somehow we both know what’s on his mind. That first night we met, when Clint made me stand and wait in case he needed something.
He circles me and clasps the bra over my breasts. “Good girl.”
He tugs my hair free, letting it fall down my back. His fingers skate over my throat and down between my breasts. His hand flattens, pulling my body back against his. He turns me and I find my gaze in the mirror on our headboard.
“I’ll be your husband and your dominant,” he says. “And the father of your children. Is that what you want?”
The light glints off my collar. My breasts heave as I take a quick breath.
“Yes, sir,” I whisper.
“Good girl,” he says again. “I want you to sign something for me.”
Before I can speak, he releases me and goes to his office. He rarely unlocks it, so I haven’t been inside, but he beckons me through the door. It’s a small, plain room with a window that looks out over the lake. There’s an office chair at the oak desk and a closed laptop. Gerard has never been one for frills.
“Is it an updated contract?” I ask.
He pulls the desk drawer open and takes out a black folder. “No, but we do need to rewrite and update our contract before the wedding.”
I hover at his elbow. “So what is it?”
He flips open the folder and sinks into the chair. His hands are on my waist and he lifts me into his lap so I’m facing the desk. I’d be distracted by the feeling of his thigh between my legs, but my eyes are on the paperwork.
It’s a surveyor’s map.
My heart sinks. It’s showing all the Garrison land and Sovereign Mountain Ranch as the same piece. Did he…did he annex all my land into his?
I feel like I’m sinking in cold water.
