chest and I felt her baby bump. I was hot for her the moment I
felt her. It disgusted me that Aris had no respect for marriage.
Maybe other people married for the wrong reason, and maybe they
were unhappy with their partners, but that wasn’t the case for me.
I had the most amazing woman in the world. I loved her with my
whole heart and never wanted anyone else for as long as I lived.
That skinny French bitch had nothing on my wife. “I want to make
love to you.”
    Scarlet gave me a playful look. “You always
say that.”
    “This time, I need to.”

Chapter 4
    Cortland
    Monnique got rid of her apartment then moved
her stuff to mine. When we were living together again, we were
doing it like animals. It was like neither one of us ever had sex
before.
    She lay on top of me, my wrists tied to the
post with her panties, and she was riding me hard and fast. “Mmm…I
could do this all day.”
    I rocked into her from below, loving the feel
of her bare pussy. It was the best thing on this planet.
    She dug her nails into my skin then moaned
loudly, practically screaming. Her breasts shook while she took me
in deep and far. “Oh yeah…” She leaned her head back, looking like
a goddess. I like knowing my body was giving her so much pleasure.
The panties restrained my wrists, but let’s be honest, I wasn’t
putting up much of a fight. I liked it when she fucked me like
this.
    She slowed down for a second, catching her
breath as she came down from her high. “God, he feels good.”
    I moaned in response, wanting to come inside
her pussy.
    She leaned over me then kissed me, moving her
lips slowly. I writhed under her, somehow even more turned on by
the feel of her mouth against mine. I rocked my hips, trying to
move inside her, but she wouldn’t let me. She kept kissing me,
building me up.
    She finally broke our kiss then moved from
her knees to her feet.
    I knew I was in for a treat.
    Balancing on the balls of her feet, she took
me slowly.
    I clenched my jaw and breathed because it
felt so good. I was so close to reaching my threshold.
    Monnique did it again then sped up.
    That was all I needed. I came hard and long,
filling her for a few seconds. I loved coming inside her. It was
pure heaven. I lay back when I was finished, catching my breath.
She leaned over me and gave me a gentle kiss before she removed my
flimsy restraints.
    My free hand moved through her hair and
pulled her to the bed next to me, wanting to snuggle with her all
night. Forget dinner. Lying in bed with her was better.
    “Cortland?”
    “Hmm?”
    “Don’t you think we’ve waited long
enough?”
    I knew what she referred to. “You want to
tell them?”
    “Want to tell them?” She smirked at me. “I’m
dying to tell them.”
    “I don’t want to keep my fiancé waiting.”
    She extended her hand. “Make it
official.”
    I opened my nightstand drawer then looked at
the box. It’d been sitting there for almost a year. In the back of
my mind, I held onto it because I hoped I’d be able to give it to
her. Even after all the hardship we had, I still kept it, hoping
she’d wear it someday. That ring represented a lot more than just
love. It represented the hard work we both put into this
relationship, saving it even when there was no reason to. I grabbed
it then turned back to her, popping the lid.
    She stared at the simple ring embedded with
diamonds. The rock in the center was a little big, catching the eye
of anyone who saw it, but I saw Monnique’s face the second I lay
eyes on it. I knew it would complement her perfectly. I spent a
fortune on it because I didn’t believe in upgrading. This was the
ring I wanted her to wear for the rest of our lives. It was the
ring I wanted her to be buried with.
    Her eyes watered. “It’s beautiful,
Cortland.”
    I pulled it out of the box then slipped it on
her finger. “Just like you.”
    She stared at her hand for a long time,
watching the diamonds reflect the limited light in the bedroom. Her
eyes
