I lower until he fills me. We make love until the new day greets us. He kisses me, and I watch sleep take him.

I came to New York for an assignment, scared to face Mateo and our past. I don't know what the future holds, but if it's more of him, I'm ready and willing. This truly is a Merry Christmas.

I’ll have to thank Jordan, her Christmas wish worked. And not only did I get my man, but I got a new family too. Not bad for a…ho…ho…ho.

Epilogue

Six months later…

The doors of the conference room open, and a hush falls over the room. The GIB enters, and I lean forward to watch my woman lead the guys inside.

Alexandria moved to New York and never left. My parents stayed around, and when my mother heard Alexandria was pregnant, I finally convinced them to make New York our home as a family. My mansion is finally full of my family, and my woman is full with our child.

There’s only one more thing to cross off my list. I stand motioning to the vacant chairs. “Guys. Welcome.”

I smile over at Susan, and she shakes her head abreast of my plans. But Alexandria will have us old and grey before she decides on every detail of the wedding. Her relationship with her father is growing every day. Her mother and stepfather plan to spend time with us this summer. Her grandfather threatened to disown her, but when Alexandria stood up to him and tossed her bank statement on the desk, he promptly shut up. So, their relationship is strained but not broken.

Now is the time to make my fake fiancé my real wife.

“Thank you all for joining us. Alexandria and I have structured a plan to help you move into the international market. But I have also created a plan that will allow you to onboard international clients while limiting your exposure and expenses.”

“I’m listening,” the seductive spread of her smile makes me rock hard.

"I can help you, Alexandria. But…I have a request." Sitting at the head of the boardroom table is a turn on for her, I'm sure we conceived our son in this very room.

“Okay. And that is?”

The love I see in her eyes makes me feel like the richest man in the world. "Marry me? Today."

“Matty…”

There’s a collective gasp in the room, and I take advantage of their shock. “I don’t want a perfect wedding. I only need you to say two words, I do.”

“But…”

“Everyone’s here and waiting.”

“Everyone? Here?” She glances around as if expecting them to enter the conference room.

I nod, “They are patiently waiting at the Four Seasons. Your parents. Your father. Your grandfather. Your guys…”

“You,” she whispers, and her eyes beam with love.

"Do you require anything else, mi alma?”

“No, all I ever needed was you. I accept.”

I circle the table to kiss my lady. Charlee stands up, clapping with the guys. She opens her mouth to speak, and Alexandria stops. "Charlee Raine, I swear if you say one word about freaky shyte I’m might scream.”

"Says the woman ready to get it on on the table. I can see it in your eyes. He started talking in Spanish, and you started drooling."

I shake my head. This is our life. Now to marry my lady before she realizes we didn’t discuss her international expansion. I guide her to the door, “You ready to become Mrs. Rodriquez?”

She pulls back and whispers, “How long have you been planning this? Did Susan help? How much did you spend?”

I make the motion of zipping my mouth. “I’m about to lavish you with everything my money can buy.” I pull up behind her brushing my aroused state against her full bottom. “I got the DJ from the engagement party.”

Alexandria's head snaps in my direction. "Slicker than oil, but I love you."
