Built for Love - Ella Goode Page 0,29
hitch. Unless you count the waterworks that Beck and I gave at the altar.
“How are you feeling?” Abel kisses my bare shoulder. My bridesmaid's dress is strapless. Abel’s hand rests on my stomach. He pulled me down into his lap ten minutes ago, and I don't want to go anywhere. The heels are killing me.
“Bloated. Look at this!” I hold up my left hand. “I can’t get it off.” I pull at the giant wedding ring on my finger. It’s stuck. Not only is my stomach swollen, every other part of me is too. I am clearly not one of those women who just look like they swallowed a basketball.
“I don’t see the problem.” Abel gives me a confused look. I roll my eyes. Of course he doesn’t. God, I love my husband, but sometimes he can drive me bonkers.
“I’m the marshmallow man.”
Abel licks his lips. “I love marshmallows. Again I don’t see the problem.” He nips at my neck, making me wiggle in his lap.
“Abel,” I warn. My nipples go tight. It doesn't take much these days to get me worked up. I turn in his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“Yes, my wife?” I never get tired of hearing him call me that. “Do you want more cake?” I wet my lips.
“Can we get a piece to go?” I suggest. I’m pretty sure Marist and Beck slipped out a few minutes ago. Seeing them together always makes me smile. I’m so happy they are finally getting their happily ever after.
“I’ll take the whole cake if you want me to.”
I lean in, kissing him because I know he would. Abel would do anything for me. The man had built a life for us before he even found me. It’s as if he knew and in true Abel fashion wanted to be ready.
When my husband wants something there is nothing that will stop him. The wedding ring on my finger and this baby girl in my belly is proof of that. He’s made dreams come true for me that I hadn’t even realized I wanted.
“I don’t need the whole cake. A piece will suffice. Not a little piece though.” That has him giving me that gorgeous smile of his.
“I want something sweet too.”
“I’m not sharing, so get your own.”
“I wasn’t talking about cake.” His finger trails up my leg. I clench my thighs together, wondering how far we are from our house. I lean in, brushing my mouth against his. Abel groans against my mouth, deepening the kiss.
This man had known me all of five minutes and he’d moved me in with the intention of me never leaving. I’m sure some will think that’s crazy. Maybe it is but I don’t care. He fought to make me his and I know he’ll always fight for us. What more could a girl really ask for?
I pull my mouth from his. “Get the cake and we’re out of here.” He laughs against my mouth before standing up and putting me in his chair.
“My girls want cake. I’ll get them cake.” I rest my hand on my stomach as I watch my husband get us our cake. Our little girl gives me a kick, missing her daddy. I don’t blame her. I don’t care much for when he gets too far away either.
“He’s getting us cake,” I tell her, pretty sure it’s her that wants it. Well, that’s what I’m going with at least. He’s back a few minutes later with a bag in hand. He holds his other out for me to take. I wince when I come to my feet. In a blink of an eye I’m off my feet and into Abel’s arms.
“Abel.” I sigh, wrapping my arms around his neck before dropping my head to his chest. It would be pointless to tell him I can walk. He’s still not going to put me down.
“I’m taking my wife home where I’m going to draw her a bath and massage her feet while she eats cake.”
I stare up at my husband as he moves through the ballroom toward the exit. “Then what?” I lick my lips.
“Then I’ll put you to bed and I’ll get a sweet treat of my own.” I kiss his neck. This husband of mine knows how to make a girl's dreams come true. I know without a doubt with Abel as my husband I’ll always have my happily ever after. He wouldn't let it be any other way.
