I hummed in agreement and lazily ghosted up and down her spine, far too satisfied to argue. Not that I would. In the six years since I’d married Julia, Leo had become a full-fledged member of my family. That was something I’d never thought I’d say, but after everything we’d been through between now and then, Itrusted him nearly as much as I trusted my brothers. He had my back, and I had his. Not to mention he was on a very…very…short list of people I trusted with my children.
“Your father said he’d take the kids so we could go to Naples for our anniversary,” she continued. “I think it’s a good idea.”
My old man loved his grandchildren with his whole heart, and secretly, I had started to think he cared more about them than he’d ever cared about his own kids. I tried not to let thoughts like that keep me up at night. If it meant he kept them safe, secure, and happy, I’d deal with it.
“Thank you,” Julia said, nuzzling closer. “Thank you for building this life with me.”
“Of course.” I narrowed my eyes and put a finger under her chin to tilt her face to mine. “What’s going on? Are you okay?”
“Yeah, just…sentimental.” She wiped at an eye and sniffed, making me roll so she was under me, my arms caging her head in, her legs on either side of my hips.
“Mia cara,I told you before, and I’ll tell you as many times as you need to hear it. I’d doanythingfor you.” Yeah, I’d just fucked her within an inch of her life, but my cock didn’t pay attention to silly things like that. Rubbing up against her warm, wet cunt got his attention, and all these lovey-dovey things we murmured to each other in the dark only urged him on. “I love you.”
“I love you,” she returned.
And when I shifted my hips to slip inside her again, I nearly collapsed from the hot, tight warmth of her body. In six years, I must have fucked her a million times, a billion, but it would always be like the first. She engulfed me, mind, body, and soul. I belonged to her in every single way.
Growing up, I never could have imagined I’d end up here one day. I’d never thought I’d ever care about someone as deeply or completely as I did her. She was more than my wife, my queen,my submissive, or the mother of my children. She’d become my partner in every sense of the word, my soulmate.
And heaven help anyone who came for her again. I’d once told her I’d kill for her, and I had. She could merely breathe the word and it would be done.
Together, we owned our ruthless reign, and I pitied anyone who tried to stop us.
The End
