“We slept together all night.Realsleeping too. We both liked that. We love our families. We are loyal to the people we love. We love our chosen careers. Your sister and my brother love each other.Annnddddwe both think Fate is an idiot.”
Belle laughed. “I never said that.”
“No one has to say it, we all just know it,” I argued.
Still laughing, she shook her head. “You are a professional fighter. I am a Paralegal.”
“So?”
“So, I don’t know the first thing about the MAM.”
I chuckled at her mangling of the abbreviation. “It’s MMA, Belle.”
“See? I can’t even spell it right.”
I braced her face with my hands. “You are looking at this all wrong, woman. Our differences are what makes us compatible. The men you dated and dumped, they bored you and I bet most of them were lawyers, right?”
She nodded.
“So you had lots in common with them, but that wasn’t enough, was it? And the women who chased me knew a lot about fighting and if they didn’t, they knew enough to get close to me. But I found them to be all the same… shallow with lacklustre personalities. No real strong opinions and they certainly never dare to argue with me about anything. What was it that you called them? Booby Blondes…They were so cookie cutter that they weren’t even worth taking home.”
Belle smiled at me. “So, you’re saying that we have differences in common?”
I felt a little confused by this concept, but maybe she was talking sense. “So we agree to disagree?”
“We’ll see.” She raised a brow at me. “I admit, you haven't pissed me off yet today.”
I rose up and took her with me to lean her back on the bed as I said, “The day isn’t over yet.”
Giggling at my clever comeback, she smiled up at me. “You do make me laugh a lot. So, that’s something.”
I laid my body down on top of her as I rested my weight on my hands. Leaning down close to her breasts, I swiped one of her nipples with my tongue. “I can make you come too. Don't forget that.”
“Hmm,” she whispered. “And you have a hot mouth, no doubt about it.”
I sucked her sweet, pink nipple in and played with the other one between my fingers. Grasping my head, Belle’s breathing grew rapid. I switched breasts and teased her nipples the whole while. Moaning, she kept repeating my name.
I slid my body down and spread her thighs. I planned on hearing her scream my name again. I found myself addicted to that and to her. I knew I was already but I wanted the taste of her on my tongue again. Delving in, I stroked her slit with my fingers and licked at her button.
“Liberty! Oh, my God…” Belle was helplessly squirming with desperate pleasure.
Holding her in place, I used my fingers and mouth on her until, yes…she was screaming my name as she climaxed.
Everything was right in my world again.
Chapter Eighteen:Shackin’ Up
Belle
Three days later…
Liberty and I had pulled it off. We’d arranged a wedding to cry over and a bash of a reception to celebrate.
The wedding turned out to be simple, elegant and beautiful. We had the ceremony out back in the lusciously green grass with a path of flowers leading up to the altar that we had made under a large oak tree. Prophet’s father was a licensed minister so he was able to make it official. It had been so peaceful and lovely.
And yes, I cried a little. Justice really loved my sister and I finally had no doubt about that. He had tears in his eyes when he lifted her veil and kissed her. My mother was weeping in the background. I never thought I would see Scarlet this happy. It made me feel hope for myself and my future.
They kissed and were announced as Mr. & Mrs. Walker.
