“You caught that, yeah?” I nod my head. His face loses its smile and he looks at me with all seriousness, but with love in his eyes. “I meant it, Ads. I want to marry you, the sooner the better. I think we have wasted enough time, don’t you?”
“We have. But I need to know, Dex.”
“Know what?”
I take a deep breath and answer him. “I need to know if you want this because of me, and not because of the baby. Don’t get pissed at me. I need to know, babe.” Dex goes up onto his elbow again, cupping my jaw, moving his thumb over my cheek. His eyes shine with love and adoration. For me I hope. He smiles down at me. God, say something. His silence is deafening. I start to squirm and feel uncomfortable. Me: Addison Cole, feeling uncomfortable. I have a load of tattoos over my body, which I need to add to. I don't ever feel like this. Only Dex can make me feel like this. Everyone else I just tell to ‘fuck off’. I am who I am and I will never change.
“Baby, I was trying to get together with you before I found out about the baby. Of course I want this. Fuck, I have wanted this for years but I suppressed my feelings, like the twat I am.”
“Captain Twat,” I snigger.
“Exactly. Captain Twat. And fuck if I don’t own that name. Do you know why?” I shake my head. “Because you gave it to me. Babe, my heart, body and soul belongs to you. And if you ever tell the boys what I have just said, I will deny the shit out of it.” I start to laugh but Dex cuts my laughter off with his mouth. I touch my tongue to his and he groans into my mouth and I am all too bloody happy to soak in his pleasure. My body starts to tingle again, I squeeze my thighs together to try and ease the pulsing sensation.
“My baby needs my cock again.” It isn’t a question. It is a statement; a true statement. He gives me his cock, over and over again through the night.
Dexter Castle leaves his mark on my body and my heart. A mark I am all too happy to leave there.
