“Rhodes,” she gasps when I drive into her harder, but there’s only need lacing through my name coming from her lips. “Yes, please. Don’t stop.”
“I’ll never fucking stop,” I promise her, my words a vow I will keep until my last breath.
Hernails dig into my shoulders, and I realize I didn’t even bother taking my clothes off. Again. I just couldn’t wait. Not now with my woman in our home right where she belongs.
Christening her workroom first feels right. But you better believe we won’t be stopping here.
“You better come on my cock,” I grit out through my teeth, “because I plan to fuck you in every room in the house.”
“I’m pretty sure it’s already happened,” she gaps, her tone sassy.
I slam into her and her eyes roll back into her head. The smile I flash her is wicked and her pussy ripples around my shaft.
“But it’s different now. Now this is our home. We have to start over,” I pant the words, my breathing deepening as my balls draw up and I know I’m teetering on the edge.
Reaching between us, I press my thumb down on her clit and pump into her. It’s all it takes and I feel Helen’s pussy clamp down on me while her limbs tighten around me. I blink as stars dance across my vision and my knees go weak.
I’m only able to pump a few more times before I fill her completely and unload inside of her. As we come together, air is sawing in and out of my lungs as I press our foreheads together. Her eyes open slowly and I get lost in the way the gold flecks seem to dance in her eyes.
“I love you,” I breathe.
Helen chuckles, a breathy sound which hits me right in the chest. Her eyes are clear and her smile is a little shy. “I love you, Rhodes.” She bites her lip and tilts her head slightly as she studies me. “I do want to talk to you about something.”
I can’t help but bark out a laugh. “Is this an appropriate conversation when my dick is still inside you?”
I’m mesmerized by the sight of Helen tipping her head back and laughing. I let out a groan at the way her walls clamp down around me.
“I think we should go see Stella and start talking to Kimball about adopting her.”
My heart fucking stutters in my chest. When I told her about Stella weeks ago, she immediately wanted to meet her. And the love between the two of them was easy to see. While I think Stella does just have a soft heart, there’s more to it than that.
“What?” I blink a few times at my woman, momentarily unable to form any other thought.
Helen nods slowly with a gentle smile on her face. “We’re Stella’s family. I feel it in my bones just like I know that moving in here with you is the right thing for me. Let’s get the ball rolling on getting her home.”
When I kiss Helen, I pour every emotion I have for the amazing woman in my arms into it. I want it to echo around her and flow through her veins in a way that she never questions and can always count on.
“You’re amazing,” I whisper against her lips. “Just know you can’t ever try to get rid of me now. Not now, not ever.”
“Oh?” There’s a challenge in her voice. “Or what, Sheriff?”
“I’d definitely have to arrest you,” I tease her while picking her up and striding toward our room so we can get cleaned up. She gasps when I slip free of her pussy, but I don’t even break stride. “Or maybe just cuff you to the bed.”
“I don’t think I’d mind,” her voice is husky as I freeze.
The thought of us trying it out has my cock twitching. I’m not sure which is hotter—the cuff fantasy, or the thought of her pregnant with my child.
“I can’t wait to build a family with you,” I whisper against her temple.
Helen beams up at me and kisses me softly. “Lets start with Stella. We can talk about babies next.”
Helen laughs as I growl while my heart beats strong and sure in my chest. For her. She owns my heart and will for the rest of our lives.
CHAPTER 24
HELEN
As I walk up to Kelly’s desk, I paste a smile on my face. I haven’t stepped foot in Dad’s office since the day he tried to suddenly act like a concerned father after caring more about appearances than me my entire life. That doesn’t mean I’ve ignored my dad completely, but I certainly haven’t been sharing anything he didn’t need to know.
