“Your concern is touching,” I say. “But I’ll be okay.”
“You sure?”
I nod and drag my lips across her cheek. “Let’s do this.”
“Okay.”
Katie takes out her phone, scrolls through her contacts, and hovers her thumb over my son’s name. I notice she’s changed his contact to KYLE THE ASSHOLE and chuckle. Taking a deep breath, she makes the call.
My dick of a son answers on the first ring. She puts it on speaker.
“Katie!” He sounds ecstatic. Katie and I both shake our heads. “Tell me you’ve made up your mind. And tell me it’s the right answer.”
“Kyle, I’ve made up my mind,” Katie replies, her eyes on me.
She looks hesitant, but more than that, she’s trying to reassure me with her gaze. I squeeze her breast and kiss her neck to let her know that I’m with her. That I understand.
“And?” I can practically see Kyle on the other end pacing his room.
Katie takes another deep breath, shakes her head, and replies, “I’ll marry you.”
“Yes!” he shouts. “You will not regret this.”
“Goodbye, Kyle.”
Katie hangs up. We both look at each other for a long moment. Neither of us knows what to say. Finally, I lift Katie up and pull her panties off. Laying her down on the hardwood floor, I spread her legs and slide my cock right where it belongs. We make love, and like every time before, I finish inside her. I breed my angel.
I’m an addict. And the only cure for my addiction is more Katie.
“We are here today to discuss the last will and testament of Thomas Reed—”
Before John can get too deep into things, I push my chair back and stand. Everyone looks at me like I’ve lost my mind.
“One thing, Johnathan,” I say. “There’s something I would like to share. Well, something Katie and I would like to share.”
Kyle’s eyes go wide, and his whole face nearly falls off as Katie hands me her cell phone.
“As most of you may not know, there’s a clause in Dad’s will saying Kyle must be married by his twenty-first birthday in order to receive any inheritance. I guess Dad didn’t trust Kyle to be responsible enough with his life if he made him a millionaire,” I chuckle. “And as the rest of you clearly don’t know, by the looks on your faces when we came in, my ex-girlfriend, Clarice, was having an affair…with Kyle.”
Everyone at the table gasps, including Johnathan. Mom looks like someone told her she has two months to live.
“Katie caught them having sex in the bathroom a few days ago,” I continue.
“Bullshit!” Kyle roars, rising to his feet.
“And then he tried to bribe Katie into marrying him so he could get the money.”
“I did not!” His voice is panicked. He’s sweating.
“And we have the proof,” I reply.
My eyes focused directly on my son, I press the button on Katie’s recording app.
“I will give you ten thousand dollars if you go through with the wedding...” Kyle leans forward and grips the table to keep himself from falling when he hears his voice crackle through the speaker. Everyone else is in shock as the conversation continues to play. “…you don’t have to sleep with me. I can get that from Clarice. I just need us to be married. On paper.”
Holding Katie’s hand, I let the recording play until the end. No one says anything. We all just sit there in silence for what feels like an eternity.
Finally, my mother turns to her grandson, her eyes shooting daggers at him. “How dare you.”
