“Welcome home, Lexi.” I take her hands in mine, spinning her to the side so she finally sees all our family members.
“Caleb Hunt, stop it.” She giggles, clearly not believing me. “This isn’t a home. It’s a mansion.”
“It’s closer to your university classes,” I offer, grinning wide.
She arches an eyebrow. “Do I have to clean it?”
I laugh out loud at the all-too-serious look on her face. “Not for a second.” I gather her in my arms. “I plan on keeping you plenty busy with more pleasurable things.”
“Is that so?” She grins back at me, happiness radiating from her eyes.
“Very busy”—I drop to one knee, sliding the ring from my pocket and taking her hand—“being my wife.”
Her eyes open wide.
“Marry me. I want to live the dream with you. I want to take care of you. I want to be wrapped in these thighs for the rest of my days.”
Tears stream down her cheeks, and her hands tremble as she takes in the emerald cut diamond that’s been part of my family’s private collection for generations. It’s a priceless heirloom, and it’s finally at home on her finger where it belongs.
“Oh, Caleb.” She flings herself into my arms. “Yes, yes, yes. I can’t wait to be your wife.” She plasters me in kisses as I haul us off our knees, and the crowd erupts into cheers.
“This would have been a pretty awkward engagement dinner if you’d said no.”
She laughs against my chest. “As long as you swear that I’m permanently on vacation from cleaning that big-ass mansion you call a house behind us, I’m with you on this adventure.”
I grin, my fiancée's hand clasped at my waist as we enter the crowd of family congratulating us.
I catch my brother’s eye across the crowd. He appears emotional, but he’s been nagging me to settle down, buy a house, and start a family for a long damn time. My big brother has always had my back, and this time is no different.
“I’m such a lucky bastard,” I murmur in her ear so no one else can hear. “It’s going to be tough keeping my hands off you until the wedding.”
“Excuse me? Say that one more time.” Lexi’s eyes narrow on mine, etched with concern.
I laugh. “I’m a gentleman, baby girl. What can I say?”
“Gentleman, my ass.” She snakes her arms around my waist and pulls me close.
I growl into her neck, desperate to get us somewhere a hell of a lot more private. I guide her around the house until we’re out of earshot of anyone else. “I’m kidding. I couldn’t keep my hands off you if my life depended on it.”
“I guess we need to start planning,” she hums against my lips.
“Two weeks after your graduation. I want you to get that degree before we tie the knot. I want all your dreams to come true, and I know how important your education is to you.”
“And then you’re gonna bring me back to this big-ass house and have your way with me for the rest of our lives?”
I nod. “Glad you’re seeing things my way.”
She laughs, smacking me in the chest.
I catch her wrist, attaching my lips to the delicate skin and sucking. “Every day with you makes up for every one I spent without you.” I pepper more kisses along her knuckles. “I can’t wait to fill this house with laughter, love, and babies, Lexi. I can’t wait to have it all with you.”
“Caleb…” She wipes at emotional tears, that big diamond lighting up her finger like she lights up my life.
“No more words, baby girl. You already said yes.” I press our foreheads together. “Now I can’t wait to get every fucker I begged to witness this out of here so I can get under this dress and show you how much you mean to me.”
“Sounds promising,” she whispers.
“So help me, it’s taking everything in me not to carry you to the courthouse right now and make us official.”
“We’re as official as it gets, Caleb. I’m still sore from this morning.” She beams, recalling our kinky morning activities. “I’m not sure where the gentleman was this morning in the shower, but—”
I swat her ass cheeks. “Sassy, wicked little brat.”
She moans softly, her need coming off her in waves.
“I think you need a little reminder of Daddy’s limits.”
Her big eyes hold mine, wide and innocent. “You don’t know what it does to me when you tease me about punishments.”
“One more present this Christmas, baby.”
“Give it to me, Santa Daddy,” she teases.
“How about we get a little jumpstart on the house tour, and I’ll show you the main bedroom now? This pussy is begging for me again.”
“Always, Daddy.”
I lick my lips, ready to eat her from top to bottom. “Little girl…”
First Epliogue
Lexi
“I can’t believe you’re getting married,” my mother says while arranging my veil. Her hands shake like her voice, and I can see her holding back her tears. She moves me to look at myself in the mirror, and tears trail down her cheeks.
