“And there’s mine.” She smiled up at him with pure adoration.
“Scale of one to ten, how happy are you right now?”
“Nine hundred,” Glimmer said without hesitation.
Gideon chuckled. When he did that, she had no choice but to smile. His laugh was filled with so much joy. She loved that about him.
“That makes me happy.”
“Seriously, Gideon, you have made this day one that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you.”
“No thanks needed. If I can make every day like this, then I’m winning. I love you, Glimmer.”
“And I love you, Gideon.”
They kissed again, and Glimmer felt her entire future in that exchange. And boy, what a good future it would be.
Ten years later . . .
Wind whippedby them as Gideon and Glimmer zipped down the road on Gideon’s motorcycle. Glimmer’s arms around his waist reminded him to slow down a bit. Her life was precious, and he would never play about it.
Ten blissful years of marriage, and Gideon had yet to let up on his pursuit of making Glimmer the happiest woman in the world. Today proved that a hundred times over.
It didn’t take long for them to pull into the parking lot of their destination. Gideon cut the engine, and Glimmer hopped off the bike like a pro. He watched as she took her helmet off and shook her silky hair out. His wife was perfection.
He got off the bike and pulled her into him by her waist. He loved the softness of her body against him. She’d filled out in the past few years. Good dick, good food, and a baby would do that to a woman.
“Did I tell you how good you look today?” Gideon asked.
“A few times.” Glimmer grinned up at him.
“You ready?”
Her grin spread into a magnetic smile. “I think I was born ready.”
Gideon chuckled. “I think so too.”
They shared another quick kiss before they walked hand in hand intoGlimmer. His wife’s very own perfume shop.
The smell inside was Glimmer’s signature scent that she had been curating for the past five years. It was floral and sweet and drove Gideon crazy. The shop was girly. Everything was pink and gold, and all her signature perfumes had cute bottles and pretty fonts. The floor was white with pink glitter, and there were even a few plush pink chairs scattered through the space. The place had Glimmer written all over it, and everyone was so proud of her for finally stepping into her dream. Gideon reminded her every day that it was never too late.
There were a ton of family and friends crowded into the space for the grand opening. Of course, the Vicious Kings had to come out and support. Gideon loved that they had such a great support system.
“Mama!” Gianna, their seven-year-old daughter, flew across the room and flung her arms around Glimmer.
“Mama’s baby.” Glimmer cooed as she hugged her daughter back.
Gianna was only seven, but she already stood eye to eye with her mother and was definitely taking in her father’s genes when it came to height. Everything else, though, was all Glimmer.They were damn twins and acted the same in every single way and were best friends.
“And what am I, Gigi? Chopped liver?” Gideon asked with a grin.
“No, Daddy.” Gianna begrudgingly let go of her mother and hugged her dad’s mid-section.
Gideon always heard that little girls normally clung to their daddy’s, but that was never the case with Gianna. She was a mommy’s girl through and through. The only person she might have liked more than her mama was her grandfather, Juke.
Gianna turned back to her mother with bright eyes. “Mama, there’s a kid section here with perfumes named after me!” she said with excitement.
“You don’t say?” Glimmer said playfully. Of course she knew. It was a surprise for their daughter. Glimmer wanted to make sure their daughter had stock in her company and could start making money at her young age the honest way.
