“Tell me,” he said as he pounded into me.

“I don’t want to ruin this,” I said as I felt it building.

“Darlin’, the only thing that could ruin this would be for you to stop breathing.” And damn if that didn’t cause me to lose the hold on my orgasm as my body shuttered all around his.

It wasn’t until we were both spent, and he had come again, that we laid there, me on my stomach with his body curled around mine as I felt the wetness seep out of me, and it was gross normally, but with Pipe, I just didn’t mind any of it.

Looking into his eyes, seeing the sincerity in them, I opened my mouth and told him, “When I was four, I learned that my father taking a vacation alone meant that the vacation was never-ending. The last I saw of my father was when he looked over his shoulder at me while he carried his bags to his truck and blew me a kiss. After a month of asking where he was and when he was coming home, I quit. Besides, getting slapped across the face every time I asked, well, that really hurt.”

“First, what brought that thought on?”

I quirked a brow at his first comment and said, “Because you would be willing to throw everything away for me. Never had that. Not my mother. Not my father. Nobody in my entire life was ever willing to do that and back it up.”

He nodded. “Second, what is your mother's name and where is she?’

“She moved to Florida with some business oil tycoon the day I graduated. Her name is Melinda Roberts.”

“Third, what's your father’s name?”

I couldn’t help the chuckle at his line of questioning, and I knew he was going to do something. “Eduardo Costa.”

He nodded and then made me a promise that I didn’t really need, but it was nice to have, “Promise to make it right.”

Shaking my head, I said, “We didn’t talk about something.”

“What’s that?”

“Birth control. I have an IUD. Just so you know.”

He nodded. “I know. Already made sure of it.”

After we cleaned up and experienced the wonders of getting messy in the shower, again, because apparently seeing my body glistening wet, and able to fuck it, he didn’t hold back. I also learned why he had certain steps and rails in the shower. Well then…

However, that night we didn’t get much sleep, nope, and that was because we made love three more times.

And it was glorious and wonderful and all-consuming.

And every day for the next month, we woke up together, ate breakfast, and then he fucked me into oblivion. Said that was how he wanted to start his day. Oh, and that was how he wanted to fall asleep at night. Never once throughout the night was he not curled around my body. If I moved, he moved.

Together we rode to the clubhouse, me on the back of his bike, my laptop case in his saddlebag.

And in the main room at the clubhouse, that was where I did my schoolwork. My amazing man had surprised me with a laptop and told me to find the school I wanted to attend and he would cover everything.

So, when I found out that the college that had the best business management program had online classes, that’s where I enrolled.

Oh, and we got married last week in a field of wildflowers with Asher presiding over the event. All of which my man just smiled down at me through it all.

And yes, he did tear up when he saw me in my Marilyn Monroe-inspired wedding dress from one of my favorite movies, The Seven Year Itch.

I was shaken from my thoughts of the honeymoon we had just gotten back from while I was chopping veggies for dinner, when I heard, “I need y’alls advice on something.”

We all looked at Lizette and gave her our undivided attention.

“Shoot.” It was Sutton who answered first.

“Okay, so Adeline, we all know how Coal feels about you. And Sutton, Irish needs to pull whatever stick he has shoved up his ass out. And Gabby, I love what you have with Pipe. You deserve it. But how did y’all do that?”

I looked at her with a frown and asked, “Do what?”
