Three months later...
Jake wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close. “Morning.”
I smiled, biting back a yawn as I scooted my butt back against his erection. “Yes, it is.”
“Don’t get me riled up, woman. We have a shit ton to do today.”
Today was our one-month anniversary. We’d been married in a small ceremony in Newport, Oregon at the aquarium. It was perfect. Only fifteen ofour closest friends and family, before a party for six hundred the day after. Then Jake and I headed off to Europe for two weeks of uninterrupted sex and food, before he had to get back to the grind again.
It had been the quickest planning for an event I’d ever done and I’d organized all of it while working. Dylan and I had helped my cousin out of a pretty nasty conspiracy to commit insurancefraud when we uncovered the insurance company was defrauding their clients. And this time, no one got shot at. It was a win-win all around.
The Dogs of Fire and another MC, the Burning Saints, were dealing with the Spiders, managing to get the heat off both me and Dylan. Jake still kept vigil, using his many ‘friends’ to watch out for us when we were working, but so far, they’d kept their distanceand I hadn’t had to buy any ‘tails’ dinner. Candy had been found and rescued, but that was all Jake would tell me on the subject, and I decided I’d let the subject drop. Besides, I checked in on her on my own and she was, in fact, safe and sound.
Jake’s phone buzzed on the nightstand. We decided to move into his home and Dylan stayed at my condo until she felt like moving in with Asher wouldn’tsend her to hell.
“Don’t answer it,” I demanded. “I need you today.”
He ignored me, reaching for his phone, and smiled. “Hey, Asher.”
I relaxed. It was Jake’s day off, but sometimes his unit felt his day off was only a suggestion.
“Yeah, we’re ready. We’ll meet you there in an hour.”
“Two,” I called out.
“Two,” he confirmed and hung up, rolling me so I was straddling him. “It’s time forme to take care of my wife.”
“Damn straight,” I said, and leaned down to kiss him.
God, I loved this man more than anyone on earth, and although, there were bumps in the road of our love story, I wouldn’t change any of it. Fighting withandfor him was my greatest joy.
