Chapter 7

Washington

“The president is landing,” the voice in my ear says, and I give Honor one last kiss.

“We’ve got to go downstairs. Your dad is about to get here and I want to talk to Chad.”

“Okay,” she says as she straightens her spine. She has more courage than I gave her credit for.

Even after everything that’s happened to her she’s still ready to fight of us. For me. My heart swells with pride. She slips on her shoes and we walk hand in hand to our destiny.

When we get to the lower level I greet three secret service agents guarding the door. There are three more inside the room interrogating Chad. I’ll go in, but first I want to see the president and put his fears to rest. Or get ready for the fight of my life.

I would lay down my life to protect Honor, but if the President wants to cause trouble for us he can. He has the power right now to keep us apart, but I’ve known him for a long time. And I know that he’s recently fallen in love with July, so I’m hoping that in some way his heart has been softened.

We walk into the executive wing and to one of the offices the president uses. This time Honor is the one who paces while I go and take a seat on the couch. It’s one thing to be worried about something happening to her, it’s another to be worried I might lose her. The thought makes my legs weak and it becomes hard to breathe. Right now I need to sit down and conserve my energy in case I need to make an escape with her.

I think about my dad’s old hunting cabin in Michigan. No one knows about it but us. Could I get her there in time? I know I could make it on my own without being caught. I’ve got exit plans everywhere I go. But since I met Honor I’ve had to think about it being two of us. And after what we did in her room, there might be three of us soon enough.

The door bursts open and in walks the president with July hot on his heels. His own Secret Service detail comes in, but he barks for them all to leave and close the door.

“Honor,” he says, and there’s relief in his voice that makes my chest tight.

I know he was worried that something could have happened to her, because I felt the same way. He looks over the top of her head and directly at me. He narrows his eyes, but July walks around him and comes over to where I am on the couch. I stand up and she holds out her hands, taking one of mine in both of hers.

“Thank you so much for protecting her. For keeping her safe when we couldn’t.” There are tears in her eyes as she turns and pulls Honor into her own hug.

The president walks over to me and I brace myself for his anger, but instead he holds out his hand. I reach for his and he gives me a firm shake before he lets out a sigh.

“Thank you,” he says simply, and I nod at him.

He steps back, and Honor comes over to my side and I put my arm around her.

“I did my duty to protect the daughter of the president, but I also did what I felt I had to because I love Honor.” She runs her hand down my back and it gives me the confidence to keep going. “I’ve loved her for a long time, but I didn’t touch her until she was eighteen. I waited because she means something to me.” I glance down at her and she looks up to meet my gaze. “She means everything to me. She’s my world.”

I hear sniffing and I look over to see July in tears.

“Don’t mind me. I’m just super hormonal because of the baby,” she says as the president turns and wipes away her tears. “You can’t be mad at them. They’re in love. It’s not their fault some asshole took pictures of them.”

“I know,” the president signs. “It’s just difficult to see pictures of my little girl like that.”

“How bad were they?” Honor asks, and I wish she hadn't. I don’t even want to know.

“You were both covered,” July rushes to say, then leans in closer to Honor and whispers. “It was pretty obvious what was happening, but there’s no way to prove it.”

Honor’s face turns about seventeen shades of red and I pull her closer to me. I hate that the world has seen those pictures, but it does mean that everyone knows she’s mine. So in a twisted way there’s some silver lining to this.

“What are your intentions with my little girl?” the president says, and Honor steps in front of me.

“I love you, Dad, but it’s time I made the decisions when it comes to my life.” My chest swells with pride as she takes my hand and lays down the law. “I’m going to hold off on college for at least a year. I want to weigh my options back in Tennessee. With Washington.”

The sudden image of her and me together on a farm riding horses and raising our kids begins to take root. I want it so badly I wish I could scoop her up in my arms and go run off and start it now.

July puts a hand on the president’s arm and nods. “I like the sound of that. We’re all out of here in six months, and I think I’d like nothing more than to raise your brother or sister with you nearby. We’ve got a lot of time to let this grow and plan the future.”

She looks up to the president, who presses his lips together but finally nods. “I know what you’ve done for me and what you’ve done for your country. You’re a good man, Washington, and I’m proud that my daughter chose someone like you.”

Having them accept our relationship makes this whole thing a lot easier. Now instead of my escape plan I’m thinking of land I can buy and how many acres we’ll need.

“Now I’d like to speak with the man who threatened my daughter,” the president says, and I nod as I follow behind him.

Honor and July stay in the office and security comes in to watch them in case they need anything. I follow the president down the hall and to the room where they’re holding Chad.

It didn’t take long for him to sing like a bird. He easily gave up the names of the reporters putting pressure on him to get the pictures. It turned out he didn’t have a weapon and he only wanted to take pictures, but threatening the daughter of the president and the woman I love is enough to send his ass to federal prison until he’s an old man.

By the time everything is over the sun is up and a wave of exhaustion hits me. I’ve been up for almost two days straight and I need some sleep.

When we walk back into the room I can see the same tired look in Honor’s eyes when I pull her into my arms.

“I think I could use something to eat,” July says as she walks by us and winks at Honor. She takes the president by the arm and leads him out of the room.

“What about you, sweet pea? You hungry?” I ask, running my fingers down her cheek.

“I just want to crawl in bed and snuggle next to you,” she says as she closes her eyes and leans into me.

I scoop her up in my arms and carry her back to her wing. When I enter I see the door has already been repaired from the commotion earlier and I lock the bolt behind me. Her room has already been cleaned as well and there’s no sign of blood or any indication that there was ever a struggle in here.

I place her on the bed then slowly strip her clothes off before I do the same and slide under the cool sheets with her. My cock is hard and demanding relief, but I force myself to ignore it as I pull her against me.

Her soft curves mold against me, and her round ass is going to cause me another sleepless night. I grit my teeth to keep from reaching down and squeezing it in my hands. I close my eyes and force myself to relax, but she wiggles her ass against my hard cock and sleep is no longer an option.

“You keep that up and I’m going to have to fuck you,” I say as I bite the shell of her ear.

“I think I need it to help me sleep,” she says, raising her leg and draping it over mine, opening her pussy up for me.

I thrust forward and the head of my cock slips through her wet lips. I growl against her neck. “Is that what you need?”

“Yes,” she breathes, arching her back to push the head of my dick further into her.

I grip her hip tightly and slowly enter her from behind. I give her shallow thrusts as I work my thick cock into her, not wanting to go too fast.

“I’m not pulling out,” I say as I graze my teeth along her shoulder. “You’re mine now, Honor. Once the president's term is up, we’re on the next flight out of here and I’m going to have you all to myself.” Her sweet little pussy takes a little more and I move my hand to her clit and gently rub circles around it. “So until then, we’ll have to sneak in here during the day between your meetings so you can take care of me.”

“Washington,” she whispers as her pussy clenches.

“I’ll get so angry seeing all those men smile at you. I’ll be hard as a fucking rock wanting to show them you’re mine.” I slide my cock slowly out before gliding back into her sticky heat. “I’ll want you wet and ready for me when I come in here. Even if it’s only for me to bend you over and get off before we have to walk back out to the public. I want your pussy to have my fucking ownership stamped on it.” My jaw aches as I grind my teeth and she takes me all the way to my balls. “Fuck.”

“Harder,” she moans, and I rub her clit faster as I plunge back inside her. She’s close to the edge already and I fucking love how easy she gets off.

“You were made for me.” I roll over on top of her and thrust in and out harder. I grip her hip and hold her down into the mattress as I try to fuck through it.

Her pussy clenches and she tries to close her legs as her orgasm hits her and she cries out. Her body tenses and I thrust one last time to fill her pussy as it greedily slurps up my cum.

I wrap my arms around her and gently roll us back on our sides so she’s spooned against me and my cock is still buried deep inside her. There’s some relief, but it’s not enough. And I don’t know if it ever will be.

“I love you so much, sweet pea,” I say, rubbing my hands all over her and kissing every inch of skin I can reach.

“I love you, too, Washington. You’re my forever.”

I close my eyes and I can’t think of a dream I’ve had that has ever compared to this moment. She was worth the years of waiting, but I’m glad I can finally have her all to myself. Now all I have to do is protect her from the rest of the world.
