“Ada Chase,” I growled, my heart beating a mile a minute, but knowing I’d never been more sure of anything in my entire life. I’d known the second I saw her, and now, she would truly be mine, forever.
I looked up at this perfect girl, who’d stolen my heart, and shown me what it was to feel again, and to love.
“Marry me,” I whispered, holding the box up as I looked deep into her eyes.
She was still for one, brief second, blinking like she wasn’t even sure this was real as she stared at me in shock.
“Marry me, Ada,” I said quietly, taking her small hand in mine. “Marry me, and be mine forev—”
“Yes,” she gasped, panting. “Yes!”
She launched herself into my arms, throwing hers tight around my neck as she held me so tightly.
“Jackson, yes!”
“Your parents, what people will say...” I shook my head, holding her as tight as I could. “Forget the rest. I’ll deal with all of it. Just be mine, and we’ll make our own life together.”
“And a family,” she whispered heatedly, her lips millimeters from mine. “Let’s make a family together.”
“Fuck, angel,” I groaned, feeling her body press against me and feeling the heat between her thighs. My cock throbbed against her as I plucked the ring from the box and slowly slid it onto her finger.
Mine.
“You think we did it last night?” she said shyly, her cheeks blushing as she hungrily ran her tongue over her lips.
“Hard to tell,” I grinned back, slowly peeling her shirt off as I stood. I tossed her down onto the bed, yanking my own clothes off as she peeled off her pants, before I slowly stalked over her. My cock ached for her as I settled between her legs, spreading them wide and guiding the thick swollen head to her slippery pussy.
“We’d better keep trying to make sure.”
“Fuck me, Jackson,” she whispered heatedly into my ear as she wrapped her legs around my waist and started to pull me inside.
“Put a baby in me.”
With pleasure.
I pushed forward, slowly burying myself in her molten heat until all of me was inside — bare, and ready to give her everything I had.
“Now milk that cum from my balls, angel,” I purred into her ear. “Be a good girl and take my cum.”
Epilogue
Ada
Four years later…
At the end of the day, all you need is love.
No, we didn’t just go from me saying yes that day to a happy ever after with the brush of a magic wand. There were tough parts between Point A and Point B. My parents, for one, initially lost it when we told them. My father swore he’d sue Jackson into the ground and strip him of his license, and my mother screamed at me that I was “settling.”
Yeah, you can go ahead and roll your eyes. I sure did.
But slowly, I think they got it. My father did, at least. Even if it took a while to look past that Jackson was almost twice my age, and that this might not have been their choice for me, they did eventually get it. They got to know the man I was head over heels for, and they saw that even if he wasn’t from their world of the highest wealth and privilege, the work he did in the world was noble to a degree most people never even got close to. And that’s what I think won them in the end…even if Jackson did swear to me that he’d steal me away and elope with me, with or without their blessing.
But they did give it, because they saw what we saw with each other: love. And in the end, love wins, every single time.
That brings us to Jen, Jackson’s awful, awful ex. God, when I first found out about her and everything she’d done, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to throw my arms around Jackson and protect him with everything I had, or to run and find her so I could put a stiletto through her eye.
…Okay, okay, maybe I do have a jealous streak.
What she’d done to the man I loved was truly terrible, and when she found out about me, and about our engagement, she tried everything in her power to be even worse than she had been.
That’s when my father stepped in. Specifically, my father’s team of twenty-five truly terrifying, bloodthirsty corporate lawyers. I knew Jackson was sour, and I knew at first he saw this as “someone else fighting his battles,” but in the end, I made sure he got that it wasn’t just “someone else,” it was me. I was going to get that bitch off his back once and for all, because there was no way I was going to start a family with him with her hanging over us.
I also might have insisted on delivering the lawyers’ statement personally — not to do anything to her, and not because I even wanted to meet her. But I wanted to watch the look on her face when she realized she’d lost — not just such an amazing man, but all of her attempts to hurt him.
