When he finished, he collapsed over her.
Catching her breath, she enjoyed the feel of his weight over her.
“I wanted to do that ever since you dropped that blanket.”
She giggled. “You were the one who wanted to draw me. I’d have happily have been fucking all night.”
He pulled out of her, and they slid under the covers. His hand banded around her waist, pulling her close. She closed her eyes, basking in the feel of him.
“If we don’t start using a condom I’m going to get you pregnant.”
“I know.” She ran her hands up and down his arm. “I like this.”
“You do?”
“Yes, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be, Henry. I love being your woman.”
She nestled against him, feeling his cock thicken as she rubbed her ass next to his groin.
“Good because you’ve not got a choice. You’re mine to keep now.”
Opening her eyes, she stared across the room as a thought entered her head. “Henry, if you want me to start working, I will. I don’t mind working.”
“And I don’t want you to. You’re my woman, and I’m old-fashioned. I won’t have you working. Ignore the shit that Caleb said. He doesn’t let Donna work either, and he’d beat the shit out of me if I mentioned her being anything other than perfect.”
“They’re married.”
“Do you want to get married for him to shut his trap? I’ll marry you in a heartbeat.”
She glanced over her shoulder to see he was being serious. “You’d marry me to stop your friend from saying nasty shit to me?”
“Of course.”
Lydia pressed a kiss to his lips.
“Is that a yes?” he asked.
“Was that an actual proposal?” She was confused.
“Yeah, it was. I’m going to marry you at some point, baby. I don’t know how many times I’ve got to say it, but you’re mine. We’re going to get married soon, and we may as well get to it now.”
“Your romantic skills need a lot of work.”
“Will you marry me?” he asked. He cupped her cheek. His thumb stroked over her lips. “I’m being serious, Lydia. I’m not going to have any other woman. The only one I want is you.”
“How can you know?”
“I know.” There was no hesitation in his words.
“Yes, Henry, I’ll marry you.” She didn’t want to be with any other man but him.
He pulled her close, dropping a kiss to her lips. “Now, it’s time to go to sleep. We’ll go hunting for a ring very soon.”
“You don’t want to fuck again?” she asked.
Henry growled, nipping at her lips. She giggled but rested her head on his chest. He held her close, and there was nowhere else she wanted to be other than in his arms.
She was getting married. Life had never been better for her.
Chapter Ten
Several days later Henry was standing with Caleb inside Elijah’s warehouse as they talked out distribution. The latest batch of coke had had several customers collapsing and being sent to the hospital.
“It must be something wrong with the batch,” Elijah said, looking over the police reports their friend on the inside had given. There had to be some confusion as the women who collapsed showed signs of a date rape drug being present, too.#p#分页标题#e#
“This is your shit that you assured us was above board. I’ve got other suppliers who don’t have their clients in the hospital or with elements of a date-rape drug. Anymore of this shit and I’ll be investigated by the police,” Caleb said.
“What about Richard?” Henry asked. He still didn’t like the seedy little bastard.
“He flirted with your woman, Henry. That’s all. Leave him be.”
“No, it’s got nothing to do with that.” Henry looked at Elijah. “We’ve been buying shit from you for months. All of a sudden we employ a guy, and we’ve got women, not men, women passing out in the club.” The more Henry thought about it, the more it made sense. “What if it’s not the coke?”
“What do you mean?”
Taking the file from Elijah, he flicked over the women. “They’re pretty girls but not striking. We looked over this. What if he’s giving them the rape drug as well as the coke? It’s one woman a night, not many. I can tell you there’s been a shitload of deals going in the club, and the whores have been snorting the shit out of it as well. Surely it has to be down to something else.”
There was a reason he didn’t like Richard, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
Caleb looked unconvinced while Elijah took the file back to read through.
