“I’m not a momma’s boy, if that’s what you’re thinking. She just loves being a socialite so much that she can’t help promote her son who’s a doctor.”
“You sound like you don’t like it.”
“It’s actually kind of boring. The shitty thing is there’s always someone she wants me to meet,” I sigh, and then immediately regret saying anything.
Her face goes from playful to a frown, and I know I’ve fucked up. “Someone as in future daughters-in-law?”
“Yes, but you have nothing to worry about on that front.” I’ve never been attracted to the vultures she demanded I pick as a girlfriend.
“Sure. I’m not going to be there, if that’s okay.”
“It’s not okay. I want you there by my side to show off to everyone. I won’t go without you.” I’m not above using coercion.
“Fine. We’ll see.”
“If it makes you feel better, I’ll call my mother and tell her to keep the vultures out because I’m already taken.”
“Taken?” she questions as if she doesn’t realize what this is especially after last night. We’re in this together forever if I get my say.
“Very much taken.”
“Come on. I need to feed you and introduce you to my dog and take him for a walk.” I need to change the subject because I can tell she’s jealous and as cute as it is, I know damn well I’d knock motherfuckers out if they come near her. In fact, thinking about the party and all the guys that’ll be there puts me on edge.
I’m going to tell my mother to cancel the whole damn thing. No, I’m overreacting, but I’m definitely going to have to keep a close eye on Ella at the party.
“Oh my. I forgot you said you had a dog.” She looks so skittish; I don’t want to scare her away.
“Are you sure you’re not afraid?” Cupping her face, I drop my forehead down to hers.
“I’m fine.” Kissing my lips, she pulls back and out of the bedroom door. I follow behind her just as Jack comes barreling out of the kitchen, barking and wagging his tail.
“Jack, meet Ella. Princess, this is Jack.” He jumps up, putting his front paws on her legs. She grabs and plays with them, giving him the baby talk that soothes my soul. I wanted them to get along. I know my mother’s going to be a lot harder, but I know where my loyalty lies, and that’s with my princess and it always will be.
Chapter 7
Edward
I’m almost done with my shift when I call Ella for the fifth time since I left. I would have called her more, but I worked a ten-to-ten overnight and didn’t want to wake her. She picks up on the last ring. “Sorry, I was getting dressed so I can take Jack out for his walk.”
“What are you wearing?” I ordered her some clothes since she couldn’t get her own from the house, but I didn’t see them on her yet. According to the emails only two of the four deliveries have arrived. I hope it’s all the right size and she likes the style.
“I’ve got on a pair of cream capris and a blue top that matches your beautiful eyes. What time do you get off?”
“In about an hour. How about we go on a lunch date?”
“I like the sound of that.”
The sound of her voice goes straight to my cock, hardening me instantly as I sit in the break room. “I can’t wait to see you. I miss that beautiful face.”
“Is that all you miss?” she sasses, causing me extreme pain as my pants have grown tighter and my zipper is biting into my length.
“I miss everything, including your sweet, tight pussy and the way you moan my name as you come. Is that enough, or should I elaborate?” I ask with a growl. I wish I could whip this fucker out and stroke myself off as I think about all the nasty, filthy things I want to do to her.
“How about you save that when you’re alone?”
“Shit. Sorry, Nurse Meriweather,” I say with a chuckle, so Ella knows who said that.
Ella gasps, on the other end before giggling slightly. “Oh my goodness.”
“Sorry, Princess. I’ll see you when I get home, then you can decide what you want to do—outside of the house,” I emphasize. I’ll fuck her the second we return from our date.
“See you soon.” She ends the call thankfully, or I’ll have lingered even longer.
Meriweather shakes her head and smiles. “I wish you both a lot of happiness.”
“Thanks.”
“Honey, I’m home!” I call out, dropping my bag on the chair by the door.
“I’m coming.” She walks into the room with Jack doing laps around her legs. She looks incredible, and I find myself at a loss for words. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. You look spectacular. I’m not sure I’m ready for anyone else to see you.”
