“You will be Mrs. King.”

I think I already am.

Roman

I stare into the fireplace, growing more restless with each minute that passes. George took Fawn up to her room. Our room. I reach down, adjusting my cock. I’ve been rock hard since I got a taste of that sweet mouth of hers. The wedding went easier than I thought. I know I was a brute. I barely kept it together. I wanted to pick her up and throw her over my shoulder to get to the priest faster. She wasn't moving quickly enough. I didn't need to give her more time to think.

The library was picked on purpose. One of the things my men found when digging into her life is that every Saturday, she visits her local library. She enters with a stack of books and hours later she leaves with new ones. I’d wanted to impress her. Show her that things don’t have to be bad here. In fact, I could make them very good if she’ll allow me to. She could be happy here with me.

“Sir!” George calls. “I told her dinner is at seven and Ace is on his way back from the stables now.” I nod. “Will he be joining you for this dinner?”

“Yes.” Most of the time Ace and I just eat at the island in the kitchen, but I am going to have something more formal tonight. I also think he’ll be a good buffer. The kid is sweet and charming. It took no time for him to grow on me.

I pace back and forth in my office, trying to waste some time, which seems to be moving at a snail's pace. It doesn't help that I check my watch every two seconds.

“Ro!” Ace shouts. I can hear his feet hitting the marble floor in the entryway. I can tell he’s on a dead run towards me.

“Don’t run!” I shout back, worried he could slip and hit the floor. The marble is nice but maybe I should look into something a little more child friendly.

“Sorry.” He huffs a breath when he makes it to my office door. He’s still in his riding gear. He’s taken to riding like a fish to water. He swears he’s going to grow up and be a cowboy. The horses are how I got him to come out of his shell in the first place.

“How was your lesson?”

“It was fine, but you’ll never believe what we found in the stables. Two kittens!” Fuck me. “We need to save them. I don’t see their mommy anywhere. She’s probably dead.” His bottom lip puffs out. And in that moment, I know that I am now the proud owner of two kittens because there is no way I’ll be able to tell him no. But I still try to dissuade him.

“We don’t know that for certain. We should leave them there for tonight in case she comes back.”

He shakes his head no. “It’s getting cold. They won’t stop crying. Please.”

“Kittens?” Fawn’s soft voice floats into the room. Ace spins around to look at her. She’s changed out of her jeans and sweater into a long, flowing dress. As always, she’s breathtaking. How can one person have so much beauty?

“You’re pretty.”

A smile spreads across her face as she drops down to her knees in front of him. “Why, thank you. You’re quite handsome yourself.” She holds out her hand. “I’m Fawn.”

“I’m Mason, but Ro calls me Ace.” He takes her hand.

“It’s nice to meet you, Ace.”

“Do you work here? Everyone works here.” She glances up at me.

“She’s my wife.” Ace looks over his shoulder at me. We talked about this a few days ago.

“Cool,” is all he says with a smile. “Can I show you my kittens?”

Here we go. Fawn’s face lights up before I can suggest we call someone to come take care of them, so I keep my mouth shut.

“I’d love to see them.” She stands and holds her hand out for Ace to take. He does it without hesitation before he leads her toward the back of the house. He passes through the kitchen going out one of the back doors. Fawn glances around curiously as if she’s trying to take everything in.

“Wow,” she says when she steps onto the back patio. We have acres of land spread out here. To the left is the rose garden my mother had done. Off to the right are the stables. Not to mention the massive swimming pool. “This place is like a resort.”

“You are free to go anywhere on the grounds,” I inform her. I want her to get comfortable here. It is, after all, where she’ll live for the rest of her life. She only gives me a tight smile. Nothing in comparison to the ones she’s been giving Ace.

“This way.” He leads her around the pool towards the stable where Reno is finishing up before he takes off for the night. He gives Fawn a curious look before he sees my expression, and he diverts his attention to look anywhere but at her. “Did the mama come back?” Ace asks him.
