“Forever?”
“Forever.”

EMERY
“Any dates in mind?” I stare down at the stunning engagement ring Mads slipped on my finger last night. It feels unreal. It also feels like the rest of Chicago will have something to say about it. I push those thoughts from my mind, reminding myself of the promise I made when I was in Italy, to live my life for me.
“I’m free tomorrow,” Mads says without looking up from his phone.
“Shoot,” I snap my fingers. “I have a hair appointment tomorrow.”
His gaze lifts from his phone. “With Mr. Man Bun?”
“With Ezekiel? Yes.”
He slides his phone into his pocket, placing his coffee on the counter before walking over to me. “And he’s not interested in you?”
“Last time I checked, I’m very much not his type. I think the vagina really throws him off. Oh, and not to mention his husband and daughter.” I roll my eyes. “You don’t have to be jealous, you know.”
He grabs me, yanking me toward him possessively. “I had to sit back and watch a man I fucking detested touch you, kiss you, claim you as his for five years. I have earned my jealousy. And if you think for one second that a ring is going to change that, you’re wrong.”
“Sounds toxic.” I run my hands up his chest.
“Very.” He leans in, his lips on mine briefly. “We can’t escape our past, sweetheart, but I promise you I will never lie to you and if I don’t tell you something right away, it’s not because I’m hiding it from you. It’s because I’m handling it before I tell you about it.”
“Is there something going on now?” I eye him suspiciously.
“I can’t say for sure, but I have a feeling.”
“Mads—”
“I will handle it, baby. I promise.” He kisses my forehead, his lips lingering for a second longer than usual. “More importantly, when are you going to sell that house and officially move in here?”
“That was my plan today actually. I am going to call my real estate agent later this week but before then, I’m going to head over there today and talk to Tilly and Andy.”
“Are you planning to have them continue to work for you?”
“Not Andy, he’s ready to retire. I’d like to keep Tilly on, if I can?”
“Anything you want, baby. I will be home at a decent hour tonight. I promise.”
“You better or I’ll just have to take things into my own hands.” I reach down, cupping him through his suit pants.
“You’re an insatiable little thing, you know that? How could you possibly need more cock after the way I fucked you last night and this morning?”
“I could ask you the same thing when you woke me up with your tongue inside me after spending over an hour with your face buried between my thighs last night.”
“Yes, well, we both know that I’m a greedy man when it comes to you, especially your pussy.” He runs his hand over his jaw. “Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.”
“On that note.” I smile. “I need to take a shower and you need to head to work.” I go to step around him, but he hangs on to me.
“Better idea. How about I empty my balls into your belly after I fuck you with my tongue.”

Ipull up to the front of my house. It feels strange being back here, like it was never even home to me. I put the car in park and get out, heading inside.
