“Jett!”

“I’m just kidding!” I pull her into my arms. “I’m done with that business.” I kiss along her neckline to the ticklish spot behind her ear. “There’s only one woman I want to look after now.”

“She needs looking after.” London melts against me.

“No, she doesn’t. She just needs someone to love her,” I contest.

“I’m glad you’re that someone.”

“I am, too. And that you can financially support me for the rest of our lives.”

London whacks me on the head with the stack of papers.

“You’re very violent,” I tease as I pin her on her back.

“I have years of pent up hostility.”

“I know the perfect release for that.” I shimmy my pelvis against her pussy.

She laughs freely into the night. The melodic sounds remind me of a rhapsody.

“I’m not kidding.” I lick a hot trail along her jawline.

“I know you’re not.” She sighs serenely, spreading her legs.

“Where are your pearls?” I ask.

“In the bedroom.”

“Then that’s where we’re going.” I nip at her earlobe. “I want to appreciate your curves with my tongue. I want to wrap you in satin and cover you with lace. Drape your body in diamonds and pearls. Bind your wrists in leather as I command your entire being. I want to create a beautiful package to lovingly defile.”

“Sounds like your kinky style.”

“It definitely is.”

“My entire being is yours.” London submits to my kinky request as I lift her into my arms.

“And my entire being is yours,” I profess.

The present

I LEAN AGAINST THE DOORFRAMEquietly as Jett rocks Shia to sleep.

“After the handsome prince vanquished the evil sorcerer and freed the beautiful princess from her tower, they rode off into the sunset, and lived happily ever after . . .”

Her soft snore and still body render his attempt successful.

“That’s my all-time favorite fairytale,” I voice softly.

Jett flicks his eyes up to meet mine before he smiles brightly. “Mine too.”

Stealthily, he stands with a sleeping Shia in his arms. My heart hasn’t stopped beating with joy since we rode off into the sunset. Jett promised to give me everything I never knew I needed, and all the things I was afraid to wish for, and he has kept that promise every single day. A house, a home, a husband, a family. I never dared wish for any of those things. They weren’t meant for a woman like me. A woman with a dirty past and despicable secrets.

But Jett changed everything. He changed me. Freed my captive heart.

I’m no longer no one.

Nothing.
