I snorted. “Aw, a little shrinkage action, you mean?”
Maverick laughed. “Something like that. How about we start with the table?”
I made a face. “First, it’s complete unsanitary considering we bake food and sell it. And second, I’d never be able to look at this table the same way again. How would I work? All I’d see was us fucking on that table.”
Maverick lifted me into his arms and spun me around as we laughed. “You make me so happy, baby. I planned a special dinner tonight. So don’t stay at work too late, okay?”
“You better let me get back to work, then.” I kissed his mouth gently, and he turned into a fiery storm of passion, the kiss hot and sexy and oh so good.
“Um, excuse me, this is a place of business.” Marlowe’s pretend stern voice broke through our little bubble, the one where nothing around us mattered. My most favorite place to be.
“Is it? I would’ve never known.” I teased. Next thing I knew, a cupcake really was flying at my head. I caught it in my hand and tossed it her way.
“Now ladies, let’s behave ourselves. No throwing food.” Steeler said before kissing Mar on the lips. “See you later, love.”
I hugged Maverick one last time. “See you tonight.”
“Oh, you sure will be seeing me tonight baby. Just you wait.” Maverick winked, and I shook my head with laughter at his silly antics. He was always ready for a good time and that is one thing I loved most about him.
Later that night, over a candlelit dinner, Maverick confessed his love to me and in return, I told him I loved him, too.
It was true. I could fight it, deny it, whatever I wanted. But it didn’t change the fact that that man was walking around with my heart in his capable hands. And I very much had his.
A month later, I moved into his cabin with him. Marlowe and I rented out our place to another couple in town. She had moved in with Steeler a few months back and often, our apartment sat empty. It was a waste of money and other people in town needed places to stay.
Sure, it was fast, but so was our entire love story.
And maybe, happily ever afters still weren’t a thing, but somehow, I landed mine, and that was the only thing I cared about.
EPILOGUE
Maverick
One year later
I slidthe wedding band on my wife’s finger and kissed her hand. Genevieve did the same with mine and a few minutes later, a justice of peace introduced us for the first time as husband and wife.
“Are you watching that again?” Genevieve plopped her sexy ass next to me on the couch, both of us enjoying a lazy Saturday at home. I planned on baking some bread and cooking beef stew for dinner, one of our favorite meals.
“Maybe…” I tried to hide my phone, but it was no use. She already saw what I was watching. “Okay, fine, I was. Is that such a bad thing?”
“Baby,” Genevieve stroked the side of my face with her soft hand. “Of course it isn’t. I think it’s adorable you watch our wedding video over and over. It was the most perfect day.”
“It really was. All because of you.” I lifted her into my lap and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her curvy frame to my large one. We fit together perfectly, like we were made for each other, and I truly believed we were.
I never expected to find love, especially not a love like this.
“Growing up without a family was awful, G. I don’t want to ever feel like that again. I went into the orphanage as an orphan and I came out the same way, never adopted, kicked out of foster home after foster home. I was so lost, and I felt like I’d never find my way. Until I made the hard decision to join the military. Not only did they pay my way through college with carpentry and electrician classes, but they also helped me get my license in both and a few specialties as well. It got my life on track and gave me direction. Landing here was a lucky draw, and even luckier was getting a job on Thane’s crew. I didn’t think love was for me and I was okay with it. I accepted it. And then I met you. I wasn’t about to turn you away. You were the best present I was given. And I’ll forever be thankful.”
“Aw, Maverick. That’s so much for a child to go through. I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how you must’ve felt as a little boy.”
“Thank you. I love you so much, Genevieve. So fucking much.” I kissed her again and again, keeping her in my lap, the friction of her large hips against my dick hitting just right. My erection sprang up quick and suddenly, I wanted her naked and I wanted her naked now. “Stand up and strip for me, baby.”
Genevieve climbed off my lap and stripped down to nothing, watching as I did the same. I sat back down on the couch and pulled her on top of me once more, my dick ready and waiting to be sat on.
I took her face between both my hands and kissed her over and over, working up the passion between us as it grew hotter and hotter. I lowered one hand, moving between her legs, andfeeling inside her pussy, making sure she was wet enough for me. “Always so hot and tight and ready for me, baby.” I growled.
“Always.” Genevieve breathed. I lifted her up, lined up my cock right at her entrance, and plunged her onto my dick, all the way until my balls hit her pelvis.
