I smirk. “No one but it’s true.”

“You’re serious? People have actually been contacting Mr. Ezra about us?”

“Yep. And Ezra says it doesn’t matter anyway. Holly hasn’t visited or contacted her daughter since we arrived on the island. It seems the local judge doesn’t approve of mothers who don’t show up at Family Sports Day.”

“Makes sense. Judge Clara broke her foot doing the long jump on Family Sports Day. Since her parents weren’t there because they were both working, she ended up going to the hospital with a teacher. She had to have surgery to put a pin in her ankle and her parents weren’t there. I don’t think she ever forgave them.”

“Is there anyone on this island you don’t know?”

She scrunches her nose as she pretends to consider my question. I tickle her ribs and she giggles as she tries to wiggle out of my arms.

“Stop it. This is a serious discussion.”

I throw her on the bed and crawl on top of her. “The serious portion of the discussion is finished. The fun part is about to begin.”

She strains at my shoulders. “But I haven’t told you I’m staying.”

I bite her bottom lip in punishment. “You’re staying. I’m not letting you go.”

“You can’t order me around.”

“I love you. You love me. You’re my wife. You’re not leaving.”

“But I don’t want children. You need to find a wife who will give Natalia brothers and sisters.”

“I found my wife. It’s you.”

“But children?”

“We have Natalia. She’s enough.”

For now. I know I can convince Chloe to give me more children. She’s afraid but I’ll show her there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll show her each and every day she’s nothing like her mother.

Once she realizes she isn’t her mother, she’ll agree to give me babies. She loves children. She’s just afraid.

“Really?”

I kiss her nose. “Really.”

She bites her bottom lip and mischief sparkles in her eyes. “I’d stay but all of my clothes are packed.”

I glance around the room at her suitcases. “Good.”

“I’m confused. You want me to move out? I guess we could date for a while. Although I’d miss sleeping with you at night.”

I press my hard cock against her stomach. “You’re not sleeping anywhere but with me.”

“Are you deliberately being confusing? Why are you happy my bags are packed?”

“It makes it easier to move your clothes into my room.”

She gasps. “Into your room?”

“Our room,” I amend.

“Maybe we should slow things down. This is moving extremely fast.”

“I know what I want and what I want is you, my wife, sleeping in my bedroom with me every night. Your bathroom shit spread all over the vanity in the bathroom.”
