And then Penelope’s arms snake around my middle and she hugs me tight.

“I love you so much, Ethan.”

“And I love you, Sweetness. You are my world, my sun and my stars. And our little girl is the air I breathe.”

My hands immediately go to her waist, feeling the way they fit perfectly right where her hips begin. I love this woman.

Later that morning, Lilly goes down for anap.

“Fuck, I’ve been dying to have you to myself,” I say, as soon as Penelope puts the little one in hercrib.

“Calm yourself,” Penelope says as I grabher.

“Fuck that,” I growl in her ear, and then hoist her over my shoulder.

She squeals but manages not to wake thebaby.

Carrying her back to my room, I drop her on the bed, looking down at her inawe.

This amazing woman will now be by my side, all because I threw caution to the wind and decided to get my shit together. This. This perfect woman, making me the happiest man alive, is what life is all about. I’m sure we’ll have fights and I’m sure I’ll be an asshole to her at some point, but I’m going to do my best to cherish her always and not be a jerk, and she has full rights to knock sense into me if ever I should needit.

She pulls me onto the bed, and suddenly, I’m looking down at an angel with a ginger halo spread out all around her on our gray comforter. “Kiss me,” she says. I do, and once I start, I can’t stop. Everything about those first days of making love to her and more come rushingback.

I feel more love for her every moment. It just builds and builds.

I have to slide her out of her outfit, and her body is so smooth to the touch. After undressing, I kiss every inch of her body, loving the way that she arches her back to meet my mouth, moaning softly when my tongue takes in one of her breasts, sucks hard and plays with her nipple between my teeth.

She’s moving fast today, urging me to the other breast, pushing me down between her legs, and giving me her sweet pussy before I can even move her up the bed. Her legs hang over the edge, so I pull her to me and take in that delicious pussy, licking her lips and sliding my fingers into her, slathering her clit with her juices. I’ll never get enough of licking on that either, and I don’t even care that she comes all over my face or that she seems satisfied, I keep on licking her through her orgasm. Because I adore her, fucking worship the ground she walks on, and I’ll make her come again if she’ll letme.

“God, you’re so amazing, Sweetness. And I’m never going to stop loving you, never going to stop being the man you want and need me tobe.”

“And I’m not going anywhere either, Ethan. If you didn’t get rid of me before, you’ll never get rid of menow.”

“I hope that’s a promise,” I whisper.

“Enough talk, Mister Townsend. Come up here and slide your cock into my pussy,” she says. I’ve never heard her speak this way, and my cock cannot possibly grow any harder. Her voice telling me what to do does something to me that no woman has ever been able to achieve—drive me insane. Suddenly, all I want is to do her bidding, slide into her and buck hard against her, ram my steel into her cunt, and make that fucking pussy mine forever. She’s my queen, my new direction, my love and mylife.

She reaches back with her arms, holding onto the bars of the headboard, giving her tits up to me to suck on as I drive into her. Holding onto her waist, I kneel up and impale myself into her body, my cock up to the hilt, my balls slapping her ass. I want to give her everything I am, every part of me. I’m simply not afraid anymore. Before I lived in a black and white world, but now with Penelope in it, everything glows in multidimensional colors.

With a great buildup, I let it all go and spill my seed deep into her, claiming her. She crests another orgasm at the exact same time. We are meant for each other. This pure, radiant woman is ready to be my wife and a mother all at once. Holy fuck. My pulse takes forever to come down. All I can think of is my fortune. My real fortune—her.

I collapse on top of her and take all the gratitude within me and give them to her in the form of a long, deep and passionate, kiss. Our eyes close. It takes someone special. It takes someone gifted to deal with me. It takes a super nanny to fill the position of Mrs. Ethan Townsend. Winds from the east brought her to me, and now she’s here tostay.

Position of hot, smart-as-balls, amazing wife—filled.
