Merry Me Darling

by Lilian T. James

He treated me like a queen during the day and his own personal whore at night, and I’d never been so fucking happy in my life. But I’d also stab him in the damn foot if he didn’t get off me soon.

“I miss home every time I’m at work. Every day I walk out of our home and have to spend hours away from you and Jamie, I miss it.”

“Now get this ass naked so I can spend Christmas Eve permanently engraving my name on the naughty list.”

“Tell me you’re mine, Garrett Rowe.” He pulled back to look down at me, the glittering hazel of his eyes bright and fierce. “Fucking hell, Maddie, I’ve never been anything else.”

“If you think for even a second that I’m going to go a single night without seeing my future wife shatter beneath me,” he said, slamming so deep I saw fucking stars, “you better reevaluate your goddamn expectations, baby. Now, do it.”

“If you think I’m going to take this ring off until we’re home, you’ve lost your fucking mind, Maddie. It’s not going anywhere.”
