Ripper's Torment(47)

“Baby, we’re together. I don’t care what you think.” He kissed her temple feeling calm for the first time in his life.

Five months later

Judi licked her lips as the honey drizzled down her chin. She had dipped some strawberries into honey and was eating them while waiting for Devil and Ripper to get back from the clubhouse. Gazing down at the ring on her finger she got a buzz knowing she was properly married. The papers were signed a month after they were married at the clubhouse. Once the papers were done, they had another small ceremony at the clubhouse, this time a planned one. She was allowed to wear her white dress even though she wasn’t in the church.

Churches were overrated.

“You’re looking happy,” Lexie said, carrying her newborn through to the kitchen. A couple of weeks ago Lexie had given birth to a beautiful bouncing baby boy. Simon and Elizabeth were loving it, and Lexie looked happier than she ever had before.

“I am. Devil and Ripper will be back from the club any minute now.”

“What’s with the strawberries and honey?” Lexie asked.

“I thought it would be healthier than double cream, and the strawberries are too tart.” She offered one to Lexie who declined.

“No thanks.” There was a smile on her face that had Judi suspicious.

“What are you hiding?” Judi asked.

“Nothing that won’t be known in a few hours.”

For the last five months she and Ripper had to steal a little time here and there together. If it wasn’t other members of the club keeping an eye on them it was Devil or Lexie. They hadn’t slept together in five months at Ripper’s request. The moment the ring went on her finger, Devil accepted their relationship and backed off. The only problem Devil had was the living arrangements. He wouldn’t allow her to leave his home until he was satisfied Ripper had a house ready for the pair of them. She wasn’t allowed to stay at the club unless it was for parties.

Judi wasn’t going to argue, and she was more than happy with the new arrangement. But she’d been so shocked when Ripper refused to have sex with her. She was surprised he hadn’t exploded from all the times she tried to get him to cave. Judi knew she couldn’t take much more. Ripper was not supposed to be this nice but demand sex. Her body was on fire with need for his cock. Ripper was allowed to stay at the house, and he stayed in her bedroom, which surprised her with Devil’s daddy role still firmly in place. Judi was so desperate for release she’d even asked Devil to have a word with him for Ripper to give in. Nothing.

College was nowhere near finished, but she’d done plenty of reading in the last five months seeing as Ripper wouldn’t occupy her time in the bedroom. He actually asked for her to read him some of her assignments.

She thought Ripper’s sudden conservative behavior was ridiculous. When she confronted him about it, he smiled, cupped her cheek, and gave her the best kiss she’d ever experienced to shut her up. He was planning something. She didn’t know what it was, but there were plenty of times she’d walk into a room where he’d be talking with Devil showing him stuff on his phone or from a file and that file would disappear when she started asking questions.

“You’re keeping something away from me?” she asked.

“Honey, I promise you, you’ll love it,” said Lexie.

“I doubt it.” She muttered the words so Lexie wouldn’t hear them.

An hour later Ripper walked inside the house going to her and tugging her in his arms. “Hey, baby, I’ve missed you.” He deepened the kiss. She moaned, wrapping her arms around his neck as he plunged his tongue deep into her mouth.

“Enough,” Devil said. “My son is watching, and I don’t want him getting any ideas while looking at you two.”

Laughing, she pulled away wishing she didn’t have to let go at all. Ripper’s arms stayed around her as she continued to eat her strawberries and honey.

Devil had kept an eye on her wanting to know if she was pregnant. The very thought of being pregnant filled her with dread.

“Can we go?” Ripper asked.

“Sure, I’ll see you on Monday.”

Judi frowned, looking from Ripper to Devil.

“Pack a bag, honey. We’ve got a place to go. I told you it was going to be special.”

She didn’t need to be told twice. Running up to her room, she quickly threw items into a bag before going back downstairs.

Devil and Lexie saw them outside. Climbing on the back of Ripper’s bike, she held on tightly. They were riding for a good twenty minutes before he pulled up outside of a house. She watched him type in a code into a security system, and the gates opened.
