Madilynn
.
I glanced over at Nico as I slept in his bed. My alarm went off again and I had to finally get up. I groaned and pried myself from his arms before he yanked me back down. A giggle coursed from my lips and I kissed him.
"Morning. Do you think you can let me go anytime soon?" I asked.
"Fuck no," he muttered. "I'm never going to let you go."
I chuckled. "I just meant long enough for me to pee, not forever." I snuggled against him. "This baby is making me have to go so badly." I bit my lip. "And I need to get ready for work."
"I keep telling you that you don't have to work. You're carrying my baby and you won't even let me tell everyone we're together."
I shook my head. "It'll look bad if I'm sleeping with the boss."
Nico sat up. "Then quit. You know you could move in here and quit waitressing altogether."
"And do what?" I asked as I tilted my head. "All I know how to do is work. I like doing it, too. Besides, you know my sister still needs the money."
Nico laid on the pillow and tried to hide his face. "Not anymore. I paid off her lease for a year and sent her some cash."
My eyes widened. "I told you I could do it on my own, Nico!"
"I don't doubt that you could, baby," he said as he kissed my thigh. "But, one day you're going to be my wife and that means she's my family too. I always take care of my family."
I sighed and narrowed my eyes at him, but deep down I was relieved for my sister. She would be able to get ahead with that kind of help and not have to worry about drowning in debt. It took a load off of my shoulders as well, but I still wasn't sure if I wanted to quit working.
"I need to get dressed," I said as I slipped out of bed. "I love that you did that though," I reached over and touched his cheek. "Thank you, you stubborn jerk."
"I love you, too," he chuckled. "I'm getting ready with you."
As soon as we were in the shower, I knew it wasn't going to be a quick in and out. Not when he pushed me against the wall and kissed me. His hand went around my throat, owning and commanding before it slipped down my body. He pushed his fingers between my legs and rubbed me teasingly slow until I was ready to beg him to fuck me.
"Bend over," he whispered against my ear.
I complied and he yanked my hips back against him. His stiff cock poked and pressed against me until he'd buried himself inside. I braced my hands on the shower wall, the steam billowing around me as he thrust inside of me fast and hard. I loved when he fucked me slowly and softly, or when he was rough and wild. Either way, he held me and loved me until I couldn't take it anymore.
Fingers ran over my nipples and he tweaked them as his thrusts became deeper and his skin slapped against mine. My body trembled as my legs threatened to buckle. He pushed in deep and growled low in his throat as he filled me with his cum. That was all it took for me to moan his name as I pushed back trying to take every drop as I rode out the intense orgasm that coursed through me.
"We're gonna be late," I mumbled as I finally stood up and he pulled me against his chest.
"Hmm, oh well," he said as he reached his hand between my thighs and cleaned me up. "Good thing you're fucking the boss."
I slapped his hand and he chuckled. That sound always relaxed me. We climbed out of the shower and fed Simon on the way out the door. As usual, he dropped me off around the corner and we walked in separately. I shook out my coat from the light rain that was falling, just as I glanced up shocked.
The entire restaurant had been transformed! There were candles lit everywhere, sparking lights strung up and the friends I had come to make standing there, smiling. I blinked.
"Did I miss something? Are we having an event?" I asked perplexed.
"I hope so," Nico's deep voice resonated as he stepped forward and dropped down to one knee in front of me. He pulled a box out of his pocket and opened it, holding it out to me. "Marry me, Madilynn. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
I covered my mouth as the shock registered. I fought him about telling people, but secretly I had wanted him to do it. I didn't want to be a secret and clearly neither did he. I nodded quickly and wiped away tears.
"Yes, of course, I want to marry you!"
Nico stood up and put the ring on my finger before he pulled me into a tight hug. I buried my face against him as everyone cheered around us. We kissed, long and slow, before, finally, we stepped back and stared into each other's eyes. I was so lucky that I had found him.
