The Possessive Groom by Alexa Riley

Chapter 16

Gibson

Itake her off my lap and place her on the bed beside me as I stand up. We’re both still completely naked, and although I came, I’m still just as hard as when I first walked in here.

“Gibson?” Her voice is soft as I walk to the bedroom door, determination straightening my back.

“Stay,” I say to her over my shoulder as I go into the living room and get what I need. When I come back, she’s still sitting in the same spot, but she’s worrying her bottom lip, and she looks like she’s on the verge of tears.

“I know this is shocking, but it’s not like we planned it,” she says, her voice close to breaking.

I walk over to the side of the bed and kneel down next to it as I place the small velvet box between us. “I know that you may not be ready for this, but I came here today to put this on your finger.”

“Oh my god,” she whispers as she brings her hands up to her mouth.

“You’re going to marry me, Lindsey.” Her eyes sharpen, and she doesn’t like me ordering her, but I don’t care. “You are mine.” I place my hand on her belly and then look into her eyes. “This baby is mine.”

“Gibson, you don’t have—”

“There isn’t a scenario on this planet where you don’t end up with me. I won’t allow it. I came here to put my ring on your finger so you’d know every fucking day how much I love you and how much I want you. I choose you, Lindsey, and I choose our baby. I need this, and you’re going to give it to me.”

I open the box and take the ring out, then hold it there as I wait for her to give me her hand. She doesn’t hesitate as I slide it on her finger and my whole world clicks into place.

“You’re getting really bossy.” I see the edges of her lips curl up like she’s trying to hide a smile.

“You have no idea, princess.” This time she smirks. “You can say yes if it will make you feel better. But I’m not asking—I’m telling.”

“Yes.” She’s a little smug for half a second, and then she opens her arms and falls onto me. “I can’t believe we’re doing this.”

“Get used to it. I plan on spending my life spoiling you and making you do things that will make you even happier.”

“I can’t imagine being happier than I am right now,” she says softly as I slide the ring on her finger.

“We’re having a baby.” Saying the words out loud makes a lump form in my throat. “I’m going to be a dad.” I pull her tight to me and kiss the top of her head. “Thank you.” My words are choked because I didn’t know if this was a dream I’d get to live.

I didn’t plan on falling in love, or getting married, and certainly never having kids. But there was a part of me deep down and hidden away that wondered what it would be like. I didn’t give it voice or allow it to grow because I liked my life the way it was. Until I saw Lindsey, and everything changed in the blink of an eye.

“I love you so much, Gibson. This is crazy, but it feels like this is how it’s supposed to be.”

“Probably because you make me crazy,” I tease, and when she wiggles in my arms, it causes my cock to slide between her legs.

She stops when she feels it at her opening, and I slide it through her wet folds. She moans at the sensation, and I tighten my hold.

“I need you again.”

“We’re going to be making up for a lot of lost time, aren’t we?” I lift her onto the bed and then climb on top of her.

“A whole month’s worth of fucking.” We both groan as I thrust into her easily. She’s still dripping from my cum earlier, and her pussy is so slippery. “I should apologize now.”

“For what?” she moans, arching her back and spreading her legs wider.

“Because you won’t be able to walk for a month after I’m all caught up.”

I thrust hard, and her tits bounce, so I lean down to suck a taut nipple into my mouth.

“Do your worst.”

“Anything you say, princess.”

She clenches around me, and I begin to consume her. Every inch of her is mine to love, and I take my time licking and biting as I grab on to her. When I feel her nails score down my back, it spurs me on because her passion matches my own.

We make love over and over, and in between we talk about the future and our baby. I came back here to claim her as mine, but I never expected her to give me such a gift. My life has only been about getting to this moment, and it feels like I’m finally living. With her in my arms and our life together before us, there’s nothing we can’t overcome.
