Ipace back and forth in our living room, my heart racing as I wait for Liv to arrive. The air is charged with excitement, and I can’t stop fidgeting. Trying to calm down, I look around our space and note all the special touches she’s added to make our new house a home. Living with her has filled a hole in my heart, and one day soon, when she marries me, I know I’ll be complete.

Finally, the door opens and she breezes in with her silky curls bouncing down her back and a bright smile lighting up her face. My breath catches at the sight of her, the same way it always does whenever I see her.

“Hey, babe!” she cheerfully calls out as she sets her bag and keys on the entryway table. When she makes it to the living room, her steps halt as she notices me pacing. “What’s going on? Everything okay?”

“Not with you way over there. C’mere,” I demand, and she immediately moves toward me with her seductive hips swaying as she walks.

As soon as she’s within reach, I wrap my arms around her waist and lift her off the ground. My heart fills with contentment as I twirl her in a circle and listen to her melodic giggles.

“Put me down! I’m too heavy!” she fusses between bouts of laughter.

“Woman, no matter how much you weigh, you’ll never be too heavy for me. Even when you’re pregnant with my babies.”

She leans forward to kiss me, and her soft curves press into my body. “As long as it’s one baby at a time.” She smiles against my lips.

“Eh…” I shrug. “We’ll see.” I grin like a love-sick fool as I place Liv’s feet back on the floor.

“You’re certainly in a good mood. Did you miss me that much?”

“Always, baby. But that’s not it,” I explain, and her eyebrows lift as she waits for me to continue. “I’ve got a surprise for you. I’m taking you out tonight.”

“Really? What’s the occasion?” Anticipation glitters in her eyes.

“Do I need an occasion to spoil my girl?” I scoff before tugging her against me and planting another kiss on her lips. “Now, hurry up and get ready. We gotta leave in twenty minutes.”

“Twenty minutes? But I just got home,” she grouses. “How am I supposed to get dressed up for a date in twenty minutes?”

“Really quickly, that’s how. Now, go on.” I swat her juicy ass before she rushes off to change.

I follow Liv down the hall, leaning against the doorframe as I watch my beautiful girl flit around our room. Clothes are flying everywhere as she strips down and tosses various outfits onto the bed.

“Clock’s ticking, baby,” I taunt, earning myself a glare.

“Want me to go in my underwear? Fine by me,” she sasses as she struts into the oversized walk-in closet. “Just let me find some heels to match my bra and panties.”

I stalk after her, capturing her in my arms and giving her ass cheek a rough squeeze. “No one will ever see you like this, except me. Got it?” I crush my lips to hers in a sensual kiss that makes my cock hard.

She teasingly rubs a hand up and down my length, caressing me over the thin fabric of my dress slacks. “Then I guess you better let me get dressed then.” Her voice is so sultry when she’s turned on.

That makes two of us.

“If you don’t hurry, I’m gonna throw you on the floor and fuck you in this closet.”

A mischievous smirk plays on her lips. “Wouldn’t be the first time.”

“Behave yourself, baby. Dinner first. Then I’ll fuck you any way you want when we get home.”

She drags her pillowy lower lip between her teeth as her breathing grows faster. “Promise?”

I pull her close so she can feel my hardness pressed against her. “It’s a fucking guarantee.” I kiss her again before leaving her to it. If I don’t walk away now, we’re never leaving the house. And as good as that sounds to me, she deserves to be treated like a princess. Before I dirty her up and fuck her into the mattress.

We’re celebrating tonight,so I have my driver take us to the hottest new restaurant downtown. The waitlist is several weeks long, but it’s fascinating how much weight my last name carries, and I was able to secure a reservation with no problem.

When we pull up to the valet, Liv’s jaw drops in disbelief. “Trio? You’re taking me to Trio?”

“My girl deserves the best.”

She beams at me with excitement as I gaze adoringly at her.
