Epilogue Monroe
She’s so bloody beautiful that I can’t stand it. But I can barely keep myself from blurting out the words I’ve been dying to say to her all damn day.
There’s something in her eyes that has me worried. She’s worried. Upset.
I fucking hope that it’s not me. Or that my dad isn’t back to cause trouble. He’s been out of touch since I picked Fee over him and I can understand that. I really can.
But if he’s hurt Fee, I might end him. Nobody fucks with my girl. Not even my father, such as he is.
“Fee? What’s going on?”
She ducks her head, hiding her face behind a fall of honey-blond locks. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I glide over to her and touch her stubborn little chin, lifting it, my heart sinking at the pain and worry in her opal eyes. “Fee? What’s wrong? Did somebody hurt you?” I stiffen and my eyes narrow. “Is it my Dad? Have you seen him around town?”
“No, no,” she breathes and her hands rest on my wrists, like she’s worried I’m going to leave her.
“What is it?”
“It’s Harper.”
“That’s…unexpected. What’s going on with Harper? Is she mad at you about something?”
She sighs and leans forward to rest her forehead in the middle of my chest and wraps her arms around me tightly. “Kinda. Maybe. I don’t know.”
Chuckling in spite of myself, I sigh and kiss the top of her head. “Am I ever going to understand women?”
She chokes and swats me gently. “Stop. I’m being serious here.” She pauses and then mutters, “a friend of hers is going to be here soon to do the work on the building.”
Cocking my head, I lift my head, eyeing her like a bomb that’s about to go off. “I’m not sure why that would make Harper mad at you.”
“She’s mad because I didn’t want him to come here.”
Pushing her away gently, I clench my jaw. “Did he hurt you? Has he been inappropriate with you?” I’m going to kill this guy. He better not think that he’s getting another chance at my woman. I’ll…well, I’ll kill him. That’s it.
Fee glances up at me and then she starts laughing. Loudly. My brows lift and then lower. Glaring at her, I growl under my breath. “What the hell is so funny about some guy thinking he’s gonna touch you. I’ll break his fingers.”
She reaches up, her eyes still sparkling with smothered laughter.
“Monroe, please. Settle down. He doesn’t want me.
He never wanted me. The problem is that Harper had a huge crush on him in high school.
He was actually in my grade but they hung out together.
Mainly because she wouldn’t leave him alone.
She was desperately in love with him and spent every spare second with him. ”
“I sense this story has a very unhappy ending.”
Nodding, she sighs and leans into me. “Yeah. He left for college after that. Barely made it through the first couple of months before we heard from him. He fell in love and got married. Because she was pregnant. They had two kids together.”
“And Harper never got over it. Fuck,” I growl viciously. “How could that guy not know what was going on?”
“I think he didn’t want to know it. He didn’t feel the same way obviously.”
“So why is he coming back here? Divorce?” I can see the problem now. She’s worried her cousin is going to get her heart broke again. Because ten to one she’s still in love with the guy. The whole time I’ve known the two of them she’s never shown any interest in any guy.
She sighs so deep that her breasts lift a couple of inches and my eyes glaze over. “It’s worse than that. He was in a car accident about six months ago. He was driving. I don’t know what happened but his wife and kids were killed in the accident.”
“Oh shit,” I breathe out. “That guy is gonna be totally fucked up.”
She nods and relaxes into me, her body held tight to mine. “Yeah. I tried to tell Harper that and she got mad as hell. Told me that I was treating her like a child. I wasn’t. I just don’t want her hurt again. It almost broke her when she found out about his marriage. This time really could do it.”
Leaning down, I lift her chin and claim her lips, our tongues tangling as she moans and slides her delicate fingers around me, holding me tight. My whole body catches fire and I fight the urge to toss her over my shoulder until I get her somewhere I can fuck her in peace.
The store isn’t that place.
Her lips nibble at mine and she sighs into my mouth and I’m being torn in two. Horny as hell and needing her desperately. Needing to claim every damn piece of her perfect body until she’s wrung out and screaming my name.
And wanting to hold her tight and cuddle her until she gives in and stops worrying.
What comes next is going to be up to fate and Harper. And the guy.
But she takes the choice out of my hands. Her lips nibble at my ear and I moan. Her breath washes over my skin as she whispers, “Go lock that front door and take me back to my office, Monroe. I want you inside me right now.”
“Yes, ma’am.” No argument here. She runs back to the office and I lock the door quickly, taking my time following her, shedding my pants and shirt as I go.
By the time I hit the door, my boxer briefs are sliding down my legs and I’m staring at Fee’s bare pussy laid out on the desk like the best dessert I’ve ever seen.
“Fuck.” It takes me mere seconds to get to her and drop to my knees, burying my face in her weeping pussy. “You’re so wet, baby. You need my cock, don’t you, Fee?”
“So much.” She’s up on her elbows and she tosses her head back, the river of her honey-blond hair glistening in the overhead light. She’s half-naked and the front of her cardigan is open, her breasts heaving in a brand-new lace bra in a cranberry red that I’ve been dying to see on her.
“You didn’t tell me that you had that on today. I didn’t even get to see the thong!”
She smirks, her eyes sparkling with desire and laughter. “You want me to put it back on?”
“Hell no!” I growl and bury my face in her wet pussy, my mouth claiming her lower lips, sucking them in and nibbling at them. Fee gasps and her hand clenches on my hair, holding me right where she wants me.
She tugs hard when I dig my thumb under her hips and my tongue licks along her slit as I push at the little hidden rosebud of her ass. “One of these days, this ass is mine.”
She laughs breathlessly, “Maybe. We’ll see if you can convince me.”
I will. She’s my perfect match and every damn thing we do is explosive and wonderful. Like the first snow on the mountains, she’s the most perfect wonder I’ve ever seen.
She moans and I growl and lick her until she explodes, her juices running onto my tongue like the finest honey I’ve ever tasted.
She’s still panting when I stand and yank at her, turning her over on the desk.
I kiss down her spine and she moans, her ass pushing back into me.
My palm traces the lush curve of her spine and ass and then I swat her lightly. She jerks and moans.
My girl likes it a little rough sometimes and I grab her hair gently, tugging her head back as my cock runs along her seam. “I don’t know how gentle I can be, Fee. I fucking need you.”
Her body shakes and she smiles coyly. “I don’t want it gentle. I want to feel it tomorrow, honey. Gimme all of you.”
With a growl, I slam inside of her and rest my forehead on her back as she screams and her body tenses under me. Her pussy is tight and the faint ripples of her climax are already fluttering, building around my hard cock.
With a groan, I slip out of her then slam back in. The desk, heavy fucker that it is, scrapes on the floor with the strength of my thrusts. In and out, I grab her hips and hold her steady as the need builds inside me, her body welcoming me like it always does.
“Fuck, you’re so wet, Fee. So fucking wet and slick and hot.
” Harder, faster, deeper. Each thrust more wild and uncontrolled, until I feel the burn of my orgasm building up.
Fire zips along my spine and then my balls draw up and I groan, falling into her with each thrust as I lose myself in her sweet body.
She screams and her body pulses around me and that’s the last piece of our puzzle. My cock jerks and my seed streams out of me, jet after jet hitting her walls until it’s dripping down her thighs between us.
Falling over her sweat-slick back, I chuckle. She doesn’t even move. But she laughs too. “It’s a good thing my desk is a big one. I think you moved it two feet!”
I don’t care. I sit up and draw her up with me, sitting in the chair on the opposite side, settling her on my lap.
She’s biting her lip and I reach down to tug her lip free. “What are you thinking now, Fee?”
“I love you so much, Monroe. I don’t think I could handle it if something happened to you.”
“I’m not going anywhere, baby. Even if something did happen to me I’d find a way to haunt your gorgeous ass.”
She swats and laughs lightly. Her head turns into my chest and I can feel her warm breath on my skin. Shivering, I hold her tighter.
“You’re never getting away from me, Fee. Never.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Good. Then for now…don’t even think about it. The future is what we make of it. And I see years of happiness ahead of us.”
I can see the day I ask her to marry me too. It’s not today. There’s no way in hell I want to tell our kids that I asked her while we were naked after boning on a desk!
But soon, I’ll find that perfect time and I’ll get down on one knee and make her mine for the rest of our lives.
Kissing her cheek, I listen to her as her breathing slows. She smiles in her sleep and I smile too.
This woman makes me smile more than anything on this earth. She’s it for me. My heart, my soul, my everything.
She gets me better than anybody ever has. And I get her too. We’re soulmates. Forever and ever.
Into infinity.
