I sighed and eased her off my chest so that I could sit up in the bed. “Me and Rell just scared him, messed with his head a little bit. Told him to stop fucking around and give you the divorce. And yes, I paid the judge off.”
A couple of minutes of silence passed, and then she finally said, “Why?”
“Why? Because…shit, because I wanted you to be free so we could get together. And because he was breaking you down. I could see it at that benefit. You looked like you were being tortured.”
“I was,” she said softly.
“Yeah, well, that shit pissed me the hell off, and I couldn’t let him get away with it. I couldn’t let him keep hurting you, so I showed him how it feels to be messed with like he was messing with you. Showed him how it feels to have no control over a situation.”
More silence.
Our bedroom was dark, so I couldn’t see her face, and I half expected her to get up and leave or something, although I hoped she wouldn’t. When I felt her move, my damn heart fell. This was why I’d kept it from her. She had morals. Of course she would think what I did was wrong, and maybe it was, but if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t change a damn thing. That asshole deserved it. He deserved worse.
When I felt her slide her hand into my boxers and grasp me, I jumped. And when she positioned herself so that she was straddling one of my legs, I could feel the warmth of her naked treasure and my shit instantly sprang to attention. She wrapped her mouth around me, and my big ass gasped. This was definitely not the reaction I was expecting.
She gripped me, taking me deeper and deeper into her mouth, causing me to sink into the mattress and close my eyes. My hand found her head, and I groaned as she slid me out of her mouth.
“Doc, what are you doing?” I mumbled, not really expecting an answer.
“Thanking you,” she said, and then slid me into her mouth again.
“Oh, daaaaamn! Shit! Woooooo, shit!” I wished I could see her, but that would’ve probably sent me right over the edge. I didn’t want what I was feeling to end that quickly.
She massaged and sucked until I knew I was going to explode. “Baby, I’m about to—”
She didn’t stop, wouldn’t stop, even when I tried to move away from her.
I stiffened, went deaf and blind for about a minute, actually stopped breathing for a few seconds, and then felt her kiss her way up to my mouth. “Thank you, Zo.”
Through heaving breaths, I said, “Marry me, Doc.”
“Are you asking me to marry you because I just—”
“No, no, I was going to ask you at the party tonight. I had it all planned out but scrapped everything after Veda showed her ass. I have a ring and everything. Hold up.”
My legs were kind of weak, but I managed to get up and find the tuxedo jacket I’d tossed on a chair in a corner and dug the ring out of the pocket. Then I turned on the lamp next to my side of the bed to see that she was crying.
I climbed back in the bed and pulled her to me. “Doc, why you crying, baby?”
“Because—ask me again.”
I held up the ring. “Will you marry me?”
“Zo, I’m scared.”
“I know, but remember what I told you? I’m not him. You can believe in me.”
She nodded. “You didn’t let me finish. I’m scared, but I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
She nodded. “Yes, I’ll marry you. But can we have a long engagement. Like a year?”
“Whatever you want.”
I slid the ring on her finger, and she kissed me again.
“Thank you. Zo. For everything.”
“No, baby. Thank you.”
