Chapter 13
KING I’m only concerned it’s not gonna stay on you for long.”
She sucked in her breath as desire flared in her eyes. Pressing her palms to my chest, she attempted to push me away but I kept her firmly in place. “King, you promised me a date night and you’re making good on that promise.”
“I am making good on it, but you wanna wear shit that gets me hard, you need to accept where that leads.” My voice dropped to a rough gravel as I added, “And tonight, I’m pretty fucking sure that’s gonna lead to me fucking you while we’re out.”
Skylar’s voice sounded from outside our bedroom. “Lily, can I borrow that navy dress of yours? You know the one you wore to Robbie’s award ceremony last week?”
“Fucking hell,” I muttered. “How fucking hard is it to get you to myself for fucking once?”
Since our wedding a month ago, life had been hectic and I hadn’t had my wife to myself for even a day. My time with her at night had also been cut into because she’d been exhausted from work and family stuff.
Lifting up onto her toes, she kissed me before saying, “I’m going to sort everyone out and then we’re leaving. And you’re going to play nice with your sister or I’m going to withhold husband privileges tonight.”
Gripping the back of her neck, I growled, “Like fuck you are.” Reaching my other hand down, I roughly slid it under her dress and up to her panties. “I haven’t had you for two fucking days; there’s no fucking way I’m not having you tonight.”
She moaned as I circled her clit and pushed two fingers inside her.
Skylar knocked on the door. “King, stop whatever you’re doing to Lily; I need to talk to her.”
I watched Lily wage a silent war over wanting me to finger fuck her versus giving my sister what she wanted. In the end, she said, “King, stop. I’ve barely spoken to Skylar this week. You’re going to need to give me a little time with her.”
With a fuckload of regret, I gave her what she wanted and let her go. Stalking to the door, I yanked it open and looked down at my sister. “You—”
Pushing me out of the way, she cut me off. “Yeah, yeah, I get it. You’re shitty and I only have one minute with Lily, blah, blah, blah. Go take a chill pill and gimme some time with my girl. I’ve hardly seen her all week.”
She was raving to Lily about some shoes she’d seen yesterday before I had a chance to get a fucking word in, so I left them to it, calling out over my shoulder, “Five minutes, Lily.”
I ran into Robbie as I headed into the kitchen. He rounded the corner and collided with me. “Sorry!”
Steadying him, I said, “What’s the rush, mate?”
His eyes blazed up with excitement. “Zara said she’ll play Monopoly with me while you and Mum go out for dinner!”
Robbie loved board games; Zara not so much.
I’d pulled her aside earlier today and asked her to help Skylar look after him tonight while we were out.
The kids at school had been giving him a hard time lately, and I knew that some time with his sister would be good for him.
Holly usually came through for me when I asked her to look out for him, but she was at a sleepover with a friend tonight, so I couldn’t rely on her.
Zara had surprised the fuck out of me when she’d said yes with no arguments.
I followed him into the lounge room where Zara sat on the floor setting up the game. She glanced up at me with a smile. “Did Robbie tell you his plan for all of us for tomorrow night, King?”
“No.”
“For family night, he wants us all to eat tacos for dinner and then do a marathon of Harry Potter movies.” She was fucking grinning at me because she knew I didn’t have it in me to watch those movies one more fucking time.
Hell, Robbie could watch Harry Potter every day he loved it that much.
I’d already sat through all the movies with him three times since moving in.
Robbie nodded enthusiastically as he sat across from his sister. “It’ll be fun!”
Fuck, I couldn’t say no. Not when it lit him up like this. “I’ll grab the stuff for tacos in the morning while I’m out.”
“Don’t forget Grandma’s coming for dinner tomorrow night, too,” Zara said, that grin still in place. She also knew I’d reached my limit of Hannah time this week after spending almost a full day with her fixing her car and doing some other odd jobs around her house.
“Smartass,” I mouthed at her while Robbie had his head down. Then, out loud, I gave it back to her. “Don’t forget you said you wanted to play Battleship with Robbie tonight.”
Her eyes widened, but before she could say anything, Robbie’s head snapped up and he said excitedly, “This is the best night of my life!”
Lily’s arm slid around my waist as she stood next to me. “Wow,” she murmured, “You’ve got the kids all sorted and happy by the looks of it.”
I stretched my arm across her shoulders. “Yeah. Zara’s made Robbie’s night by agreeing to play games with him for hours.”
Zara hit me with a dirty look before shaking her head and getting back to the game.
“I’m playing, too,” Skylar said, joining them on the floor.
“Don’t wait up for us,” I said to her.
She looked at me. “Breakfast is at seven in the morning. I’m making pancakes and waffles. And I’m waking your ass up if you’re still sleeping. You promised to come with me to help me get a good deal on new tyres.”
“Fuck,” I grumbled. My plan had been to get the kids to all their activities they had on tomorrow morning before coming home to fuck Lily. “I can’t in the morning. We’ll go in the afternoon.”
“No, I’m busy all day tomorrow. The only time I have is first thing.”
Lily squeezed me and said to Skylar, “He’ll do it in the morning.” Then to me, she said, “We need to leave or we’re going to miss our reservation.”
Once I had her out of the house, I reached for her and said, “Change of plans. We’re skipping dinner and—”
“No, you are not changing our plans, King. I’ve been looking forward to dinner at that restaurant all week.”
Wrapping my hand around her throat, I growled, “And I’ve been looking forward to burying my dick inside you for fucking days, so I’ve changed the reservation for later and booked us a hotel room.
If that pisses you off, feel free to take it out on my body, but there’s no fucking way I’m waiting to strip you and fuck you.
” When she looked like she was going to argue with me, I added, “I warned you about wearing that dress. You chose to wear it.”
“Fine,” she said with the kind of attitude that made me want to slam inside her right fucking now.
“But there will be dinner later and you will be sitting through two desserts with me. I checked out their menu and I can’t choose between lemon meringue and cheesecake, so I’m having both.
If you get to change our plans, I get to have two lots of dessert.
And you also have to walk along the river with me after dinner.
Oh, and when we get home, I really want you to watch Lucifer with me. ”
Taking my time at dinner was not something I was good at, and walking anywhere was not something I enjoyed. And I fucking hated that TV show. I did my best to avoid doing any of those things, but hell, it turned out loving Lily meant I was doing shit all over the place I’d rather not do.
“Get on the back of my bike before I bend you over it and make your ass red,” I rasped.
Christ, this woman held my fucking heart in her hands and she had no idea how much power she had over it.
No fucking idea at all. I loved her like I’d never loved anyone and I’d go to my grave trying to make her happy.
Even if that meant eating two fucking desserts, watching a show I couldn’t stand, and walking along a fucking river.
