The problem was, we’d been in love with the house, the location, the proximity to the club, and her parents.
Besides, we had the money.
I had more than enough with my savings and the club income. Her business was only getting bigger and bigger. She had staff now.
We could afford to fix the place up.
Which was what we’d been doing since the moment the papers were signed.
Little by little, we’d handled any structural issues, got a new HVAC, furnace, hot water heater, and some old electrical. Then we’d started on the more aesthetic stuff: refinishing floors, changing cabinets, and putting up crown molding.
The bathrooms had been nearly last on our list. But thanks to a leak in the primary shower, we had to move it up.
“Might as well just have them do all three bathrooms then,” Gracie said, exhaling hard.
We both hated having strangers in and out of our space all the time. Not to mention the mess.
“I was thinking…”
“About?”
“Using the hall shower for the next two months. Then we can have them come in and do the construction while we’re off on the honeymoon.”
“That,” she said, giving me a smile, “might be the best idea you’ve ever had.”
“To make it even better, we have the club prospects come in and clean everything top to bottom before we get back.”
“You might just be a genius,” she decided. The cold stuff put away, she abandoned the rest to come to me and run her hands up my chest.
The club had quite a few new prospects these days with Roderick and Liv’s and Camden and Annie’s kids finally joining the ranks. They needed some work to keep them busy. We needed a clean house to come home to.
It was a win/win.
“I have my good qualities,” I said.
“Mmmhmm,” she agreed, eyes going warm.
“Want me to remind you of another?”
There was no mistaking the heat in my voice.
“Yes,” she said, then watched me lower to my knees in front of her.
“Fucking love these damn dresses,” I said as my fingers teased up her thighs. “Such easy access.”
I slipped under, slid her panties to the side, and licked until her thighs were shaking and she was begging for my cock.
Then I went ahead and bent her over our brand new island and gave her exactly what she needed.

“See? This is why I eloped,” Layna said as I helped my assistant fix a minor catastrophe that popped up.
The problem was, this was atmywedding. And each ‘tiny problem’ someone brought to me made my stomach feel like it was bottoming out.
Even though I knew from experience that almost everything could be fixed with relative ease, from catering issues to alcohol shortages, I’d seen and handled it all. Just not while, you know, trying to enjoy the festivities.
“Sure,” Violet said, rolling her eyes at Layna. “That’swhy you eloped.”
