“And I aim to deliver.”
I shrug off my vest and kick off my shoes, then walk to the end of the bed, grabbing her ankles and pulling her to me until she’s lying flat on her back. Climbing onto the bed, I straddle her, keeping her pinned with my legs. She bites her lip in the most seductive way, twirling my tie around her finger. I pull it free of its knot, a smirk on my lips as I reach for her hands.
“What are you doing?” she pants, eyes lighting up.
I bind her wrists together with my tie, then secure them to the headboard.
“You’re mine, Ellen. Soon you’ll be mine in every way. Forever. Tonight I’m going to show you exactly what you have to look forward to.”
“Jon….” She moans, writhing beneath me.
I kiss my way down her body, licking and nipping at her skin. Making myself comfortable between her thighs, I meet her eyes as I lean in.
“Start counting, beautiful.”
CHAPTER 9
RAGE
***Raven***
From my wheelchair, I watch with a smile as Gage straps the babies into their carriers. He wouldn’t allow anyone else to do it, even the nurses. He’s being an overprotective dick, and I love it. I couldn’t have chosen a better father for my children.
“Ready to go, baby doll?”
“Sí. Get me out of here.”
“Let’s get you home.”
Dr. E pushes my wheelchair out of the room, Gage following with the twins. I’m so glad to be out of this place. It brings back too many memories.
In front of the hospital, I climb into the third row of a blue Audi SUV I’ve never seen before. Dr. E slides into the driver’s side while Gage straps the babies to the second row of seats, and then joins me.
“You okay, babe?”
“Just thinking.” I sigh. “About the last time I was here.”
He curls his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his side. “Very different circumstances.”
“I’m leaving the hospital with a jacked-up vagina. Sounds about right.”
“Look.” He points to the twins in front of us. “They’re the reason you were there. Two perfect little humans who you brought into the world. They’re the best things to happen to me since you showed up at that club barbecue. You look into their eyes and tell me it’s anything like when you were here before.”
“I know. I know.” I shake my head, closing my eyes and trying to push the bad memories back. “You’re right.”
“Of course I am. You’ll feel better once you’re home.”
“Yeah.” I snuggle closer, laying my head on his chest. I’ve missed sleeping next to him, being in his arms.
“You like it?” He motions to the SUV.
“Sure. Where’d it come from?”
“It’s yours. Bought it for you and the twins.”
“What?” I sit up, meeting his twinkling eyes. “When did you do that?”
He smirks, pulling me close once more.What am I going to do with this husband of mine?
