“So, you showed up tonight. You know that means we’re getting married now, right?” I asked, smiling widely, knowing that this damn girl was finally all mine.
“When?” she asked the right question!
I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her body into mine.
Shakur saluted us, and I nodded my head at my new brother-in-law.
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
KAIRI MOORE
The sound of his heart beating in my ear brought me peace I didn’t know could exist. I felt his chest inflate with air, and then his arms wrapped around my body. I basked in that feeling.
Everything about this moment made me realize that I’d made the right decision in going to that meeting.
There was never a question about my feelings for Makari. I knew it when I wasn’t able to stay away from him, but my love for my family made me hesitate.
I knew that he could protect me, protect us, but I just didn’t want to be a burden to him. That was my biggest fear. But I was glad that I faced that fear and went to him. Since that night, I’d been close to him, almost in his skin, and I never wanted this moment to end.
Last night, he brought me to a wooded area to practice how to use a gun. At first, I was scared, but then I welcomed it because I wanted to protect him just as much as he defended me!
We were about to be the head of a world. Makari didn’t sugarcoat it. He gave it to me raw and direct. It was a dangerous world—kill or be killed, and I wanted to live.
Makari ran a hand down my spine, instantly arousing me and making goosebumps pepper my skin. I lifted my head up to look at me, and he stroked my cheek.
“We need to practice some more tonight. I want to make sure you know how to defend yourself,” he said. I nodded with a smile.
“Do you remember what I told you last night?”
“Mmhmm,” I bounced my head. “Aim for the head.”
“Good girl.”
Makari lifted his head and placed a kiss on my lips. I slipped my tongue into his mouth, and he rolled us over.
I cooed as he kissed all over my body before burying his head between my legs.
My back arched, and I clawed at the silk bedsheets.
“Makari, wait,” I panted and tried to push his head.
“Nah, baby, I ain’t waiting. You belong to me now,” he said before diving back in.
I couldn’t even hold it; my orgasm ripped right through me. Before I even had the chance to recover, Makari slipped inside of me.
“I’m making up for all the lost time, you hear me?” he growled in my ear. I felt my heart flutter from his words alone.
I cupped his face and kissed his lips as he worked his hips inside of me. Within minutes, we were both cumming together.
He lay on top of me, panting and kissing my lips a few times before he finally pulled out of me. I immediately went to turn on my side, but he stopped me.
“You don’t have time to rest; I’ve set up an appointment for you at the bridal store. A friend of mine works there, and she will look after you,” he said, surprising me. Our wedding was fast approaching, and I was getting a little excited now. Havoc had made everything so easy for me by organizing everything. I was so surprised by that.
“Come on and let’s shower. Tomorrow, we have the appointment to get the marriage license,” he said with such a cute smile on his face.
He reached a hand out for me, and I happily took it.
An hour later, I arrived on time for my appointment at Kleinfield along with Sparkle. I was in awe because this store wasn’t a cheap one, but Makari assured me that any expenses would be covered by him. He gave me a wad of cash and his black card to use for anything my heart desired.
