Chapter 23
Millie
N ay and Stormy drag me down the aisles of the adult toy store.
“We’ll need to get you the right lube. I’m betting Wrath has some, but you can never have enough. Also, a dilation set so he can stretch you. He should have started that on your wedding night.
“None of the Kings are small and that boy better not hurt you. He’ll have me to answer to. I’ll have to see if Papa brought any of his special bath powders.”
As we go down the shelves, she pulls several things and hands them to me. Willow comes to the rescue, handing me a basket. After the toy section, Nay drags me to the lingerie section.
I can’t believe we spend an hour in an adult toy store before we move on. After a quick Starbucks stop, we hit the stores. I admit to getting all caught up in my feelings when we hit the baby stores. I also realize Wrath and I haven’t talked about kids. Yikes! What if he doesn’t want kids? That would kill me. I’ve always wanted a family. A big family. Like six kids. Too bad multiples don’t run in my family.
Willow slides up next to me in the Disney outlet store.
“So, when are you going to make me an auntie?”
I laugh. “I was just thinking Wrath and I haven’t had that conversation yet.”
She smiles and hugs me. “He wants kids. We all do.”
I felt some tension leave my shoulders. “Me too. I’ll bring it up though. I just realized how much we have to talk about.”
“Whirlwind romances will do that,” Stormy says with a laugh as she joins us.
“Is there any other kind with the Kings?” Nola says.
We all laugh. Nay told me stories about the King’s and how they claim their ol’ ladies. I didn’t believe it. Not that I thought she was lying. I thought stuff like that only happened in books, movies, or TV.
There’s no way love happens that fast. At least that’s what I thought. Now I’m singing a different tune. I believe that love can happen any time or anywhere.
After a couple hours of shopping, we stopped for a snack. Then my bff posse helped me find a dress for tonight. I’m super excited about dinner tonight. First, we’re going for a ride on the Ferris wheel.

Roman leans back and admires his work.
“You’re perfect. That man is going to be hard all night long. You better make sure he doesn’t get blue balls.”
“Can I see now?”
“Yes.”
I turn around and take in my appearance in the mirror. My hair is up in a high pony on top of my head. A fake hair piece that matches the color of my hair is covering the rubber band holding it up. I have on a bright pink silk halter top. It fastens at the neck with several strands of crystals like a collar around my throat. The neckline ends in a deep drape that shows off my cleavage. I’m wearing a short pink skirt with a matching crystal belt. My strappy heel sandals are also decorated with crystals. Two strips of crystals run around my ankles and across the tops of my feet.
Silver waterfall earrings cascade from my ears, falling just short of my shoulders. My eyes are smokey, I have deep, dusky pink lips.
“I look freaking amazing!”
“You always look freaking amazing.”
I hug my best friend and give him a kiss on the cheek.
“Now go downstairs and meet your man.”
I grab my clutch and head downstairs. What I see takes my breath away. My man is in a charcoal gray three-piece suit. He’s wearing a deep burgundy shirt and gray paisley print tie.
He opens his arms and I walk into them. He wraps me up and gives me a deep kiss. God, he smells so good.
“You smell good.”
“So do you, Nightingale. You smell good enough to eat. Which I plan to do later.”
I shiver in anticipation. I’ve been wet all day thinking about him taking my ass. My man is not small. I’m a little nervous it’s going to hurt, but Nay told me what to expect.
“Are you ready, love?”
“I am. I’m starving. We missed lunch.”
“Do you want to skip the wheel and head straight to the steakhouse?”
“No, I’ll live.”
Wrath takes my hand, and we walk from the cabin. There’s a white stretch limo waiting for us at the bottom of the boardwalk.
“Baby, you didn’t have to get a limo.”
He chuckles. “My woman deserves the best. I spoke with Blue today about ordering your cut. It should be ready by the time we get home.”
The driver opens the door and Wrath helps me inside before settling next to me. After telling the driver where we’re going, he pulls me onto his lap.
“Have I mentioned I’m the luckiest man on the planet?”
I shook my head. “Not in the last hour.”
He grins and playfully swats the side of my hip. “Brat.”
“I’m your brat.”
His grin widens and he gets this look on my face that melts me into a puddle. “Yes, you are.”
