She whimpers, shifting away.
 
 I chuckle, gripping her hips, dragging her back. "Nuh-uh, baby," I murmur. "Let me see."
 
 She shudders. "F-Ford…"
 
 I press my lips to the inside of her knee. "What’s wrong?"
 
 "You… you…" She huffs a breath, flopping onto the mattress. "You ruined me."
 
 I smirk.
 
 I ruined her.
 
 She’s wrecked. Spent. A fucking mess.
 
 But she loved every second of it.
 
 I kiss her ankle, my grip still firm on her thighs. "You asked for it, baby."
 
 She groans, dragging a pillow over her face.
 
 I pull it off. "Nuh-uh. Don’t hide from me now."
 
 Her eyes narrow. "I hate you."
 
 I chuckle.
 
 "You love me," I murmur, dragging my thumb over the fresh bruises on her hips. "You love when I fuck you like this."
 
 She whimpers but doesn’t deny it.
 
 I press my lips to her knee.
 
 "Next time you feel like acting like a brat," I murmur, "remember what happens when I have to remind you who you belong to."
 
 She glares at me. "You’re insufferable."
 
 I grin, biting down lightly on her thigh. "And you're mine."
 
 She huffs a breath, looking at the ceiling.
 
 "The wedding is tomorrow."
 
 I hum. "And?"
 
 "And I can’t move."
 
 I chuckle. "You’ll be fine, baby."
 
 She groans. "You’re a monster."
 
 I grin.
 
 But I don’t deny it.
 
 Because we both fucking know she loves every second of it.
