I expect a sarcastic answer, but instead his reply comes out in a whisper. “Pretty fucking awesome.”
“If you make me cry, Midas, I’ll get Kruger to kick your ass.”
“Like you couldn’t do it yourself,” he teases.
“Well, yeah, but I don’t want to upset Hero by beating up his daddy.”
“Have you finished bonding in here now? Can we come in?” Legs comes in anyway before she’s even finished speaking. She crawls into the bed behind Midas, wrapping her arms around him, and resting her head on his arm. She looks at me and mouths, “Are you okay?”
I don’t answer, my eyes moving to my man. Kruger walks up to the bed before climbing on behind me. His hand presses against my belly, his face buried in my hair as he breathes me in.
I look at Legs and nod. I will be. And for now, that’s enough.
“If we’re gonna start having sleepovers, I think you need a bigger bed,” Legs jokes.
“I’ll order one tomorrow,” Kruger answers, shutting us all up because he says it without a sliver of humor. He’ll buy a bed big enough for all of us. Not for Legs, but for me. So I can sleep with my family around me whenever I want.
“Hey, Kruger?”
“Yeah, chestnut?”
“Marry me.”
Silence blankets the room before I’m flipped on my back and Kruger hovers over me.
“Are you fucking serious right now?”
“I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life. I love you. I can’t imagine my life without you, and I don’t want to?—”
My words are cut off when Kruger slams his mouth down over mine.
“Okay, kids, time to leave.” I vaguely hear Midas say before I feel them climb off the bed, but I don’t pay them any mind.
Kruger pulls back, pressing his forehead to mine, his breathing ragged.
“Is that a yes?”
“Fuck, chestnut, you just made me the happiest man alive. Of course, it’s yes.”
I feel my eyes turn glassy at his answer. And then my hands are under his shirt, nails digging into his skin as fire races through my blood, urging me to seal the deal between us.
Feeding off my emotions, Kruger slides his hand between us, his fingers popping open the button of my pants, and then it’s a race to see which of us he can undress quicker.
When his heated skin presses against mine, this time with nothing between us, I nip his jaw with my teeth, needing him closer.
I whimper with urgency when I feel his hot cock resting against my slick sex, teasing me with what’s to come. He hooks his hand around my knee and slides it down my calf as he indicates for me to wrap it around him.
I gasp when he takes his dick in his hand and guides it to my entrance, his eyes locking on mine as the world and all its bullshit comes to a halt around us.
“I love you,” he whispers as he slides the tip inside me. “I’ve always loved you.”
I bite my lip as emotions bubble up inside me while his gaze holds me captive.
“I’ll love you today, tomorrow, and all the days that follow.” He slides in further, making my back arch.
His lips brush against mine as he buries himself completely inside me.
“No doubts—no bullshit. It’s you and me forever, chestnut.
