Chapter 32
Three months later
A t four months pregnant, Cora is glowing, finally off bed rest and desperate to get settled before the baby comes. As much as living in her dad’s place has been great for allowing her the time and space to heal at her own pace, it’s not exactly the ideal place to start our family.
Back when we first got her home, I started looking at houses, trying to find one that felt like it would be the perfect place for us but was also still within the Four Points protection. It honestly felt like a losing battle until I remembered her house was located in the perfect location.
“Where did you say we’re going again?”
“It’s a surprise, baby, l can’t spoil it now.” I pull up in front of our new home, turning to face her. Her lips are parted in surprise before she meets my gaze, puzzled.
“What are we doing here?” she breathes as I walk around and help her out of the car before taking her by the hand and leading her round the side to the garden. As much as I’m sure she’s dying to see the inside, I can’t wait a single second longer to make her mine for forever.
Officially, at least .
“Showing you our new home, if you want to live here. But first, I’ve one more surprise.” I place my hands over her eyes and round the corner.
Our first date was a budget picnic at the safe house so it only seems fitting to recreate that here. But bigger and better.
This time, I’ve laid out a duvet and huge throw pillows from our bed, since the more padding, the better, considering she’s carrying our little one now. I’ve also strung fairy lights around the garden and placed some candles in the shape of a heart around the blanket with roses scattered everywhere.
I guide her over to the duvet, helping her step over the candles and flowers before uncovering her eyes. At her gasp, I smirk. Fuck, I love her reactions when I surprise her.
I sink down to one knee in the middle of the heart, pulling out the box that’s been burning a hole in my pocket all day. Her eyes widen when she sees it.
“Cora, I’ve loved you for a decade, and I’ll love you for a hundred more. I bought this house for you years ago so you’d always have it waiting for you to be ready to come home. And I can’t wait to raise our family together in it, but there’s just one thing we’re missing. Will you do me the honour of—’’ I don’t even get to finish before she drops to her knees and seals her mouth to mine, crying ‘yes’ between every kiss.
Sliding the ring on her finger feels like a dream come true, and as soon as I have both hands free, I bury one in her hair and use the other to cup her jaw. Holding her where she belongs, now and forever.
We end up with me flat on my back and her straddling me as we continue to make out with her grinding down on top of me, causing me to thrust up into her and groan. “I love you so much,” she says as she kisses her way down my neck and undoes my shirt to kiss my chest.
My cock twitches at her proximity, and I groan out, “You gonna suck my cock, baby? ”
She flashes me a smirk, looking at me with hooded eyes as she frees my cock from my jeans. Cora takes me straight down the back of her throat, and with a shout, I thrust up, unable to help it. Flicking her tongue along the sensitive head, she holds eye contact as she continues to drive me wild. The vibrations on my cock causes my eyes to roll back. I tug her hair to get her off me before I lose it and come down her throat.
Twisting us so she’s the one on her back, I kneel between her legs, pushing her dress up to see her soaked panties.
“So wet for me. Did sucking my cock get you hot, baby?” I lick her over her panties to tease her, before nipping her hipbone when she just moans and bucks her hips.
“Please, O, don’t tease me.”
Growling, I rip her panties before slamming our mouths together. Pulling back from her, I make my way back down to her pussy as I tell her how this is going to go. “I’m not going to tease you. I’m going to eat this pretty pussy and then I’m going to fuck it and eat it again until I’ve had my fill.”
Making good on my promise to fuck her within an inch of her life, I kiss her. She lies passed out on my chest under the stars.
Knowing I get to love her for the rest of my life is the best gift a man could get. I don’t know what I have done to get so lucky, but I’ll spend every day making sure she knows just how loved she is.
