“What ya waiting for? Hop on, Kai.”

Straddling Jules's hips, I line him up with my hole and sink down onto his perfect cock. We both groan at the sensation, it never gets old. Taking control, I bounce on that dick until I see stars as Jules pinches my nipples until we both climax in unison. Bonded as one. Jules is mine as much as I’m his.

Finally, I belong.

JULES

It’s been two weeks since Kai was released from the hospital, and things have now gotten into a good rhythm. He’s enjoying work and I’m not going fucking crazy every ten minutes about where he is or what he’s doing. That’s because he checks in with me every day and also shares his location. I may have emotionally manipulated him with the stabbing in order to get him to comply with my stalking, but it calms the beast. Things are also back to normal with Dima and Seb after what happened. When Kai got home, it was a new page, and nothing needed to be said. We were all relieved he was alive and home. The only thing that makes me on edge is the amount of time Kai spends with Aaron. They talk a lot together in hushed conversations and it freaks me the fuck out. Aaron brings out that paranoia in anyone he meets.

“Morning,” Kai says to me as he comes out of the bathroom in just a towel. His body covered in my marks that I rebranded on him yesterday. It’s become a ritual that I would hate to live without. He has a huge smile on his face, that fucking dimple out in full effect, and I’m so tempted to drag him back to bed.

“Morning. Why are you smiling like that?”

“Would you prefer me to be a grumpy asshole like you?”

“Watch it, Kai.”

“Don’t growl at me like that. I’m already late meeting Si.”

“You can relax this weekend, D has given us time off.”

“Time off? Since when?”

“Since I booked the courthouse.”

Kai doesn’t respond at first. With how rigid he’s gone, you might think he’d turned into a mannequin.

“Kai?”

“Wait. Courthouse?”

“You knew we were getting hitched.”

“Errr, that’s news to me.”

“I said you would have my surname.”

“Yes you said that but you never proposed, you only hinted at getting married,” he says, totally bewildered by my thinking.

“Why do I need to propose?”

“Oh my god, you really are a neanderthal,” he says, moving over to me where I still lay on the bed, and straddling me.

“Yep. Then I’ll whisk you away to my cave.”

“Sounds fucking perfect to me,” he says, before kissing me with the sweetest of kisses I’ve ever received. Sappy fucker. I slap his ass to get him to move, otherwise I’ll be inside him again.

“Up. There is stuff I need to do today.”

“Fine, fine,” he moans, as he gets up and walks away to get dressed. When he leaves the room, I grab my phone from the bedside table and bring up Jenny’s contact details. I know Kai is happy, but I can sense he misses his mom. There may be no going back for me and Jenny, but I want Kai to have her in his life still. To know he doesn’t have to choose. That is, if she sees it that way.

I press call and expect for it to go to voicemail, which it does. The beep sounds and I leave a message that I hope will make her come around.

“Jenny, it’s me. Jules. I’m calling for Kai. We’re getting hitched this weekend, and while I don’t give a shit what you think, I know Kai misses you. While we’ll never see eye to eye on this, don’t cut your son off. He needs his mom and I’m sure you need him. Don’t let your issue with me come between you. Call him. Come over and see him. Whatever suits.”

Without saying goodbye, I end the call and breathe a sigh of relief. That part of my life is done, but I know I’ve done all I can to give Kai everything he wishes, even when he doesn’t articulate what that is.
