“Tabitha.” My mother says it as a plea, softer than I’ve ever heard her speak.
“Mother, just go before he changes his mind. Before I change my mind about it, too,” I tell her.
“Tabitha,” she tries again, and this time I can’t stop myself from yelling.
“Go! And forget Alena and I ever existed. Forget that you were ever a mother!” I shout, watching anger twist her face. I’m thankful for it. For the first time in my life I’m happy to see the anger on her face. It makes it all easier. “Not that you were ever one to begin with.”
Her mouth falls open a little, and I can tell she is about to say something, but a low growl fills the room and she returns her attention to Vlad. She hears the warning and nods. She turns and walks out the door, and I push it closed behind her, not taking my eyes from Vlad.
“Are we married?” I ask him. I see a sheepish look cross his face.
“Don’t be mad,” he says, putting his hands up like I might attack him.
He’s right, because as soon as I hear the words, I run at him, jumping into his arms. He catches me easily, and I take his mouth with mine in a deep, hard kiss.
When I pull back I notice I’m flat on my back of the sofa, with him looming over me.
“I might have made some demands to the king.”
“You’re such a caveman.”
“It was pissing me off, people saying you weren’t mine.” He growls again, making me laugh.
“What if I wanted a wedding?” I ask him, still smiling. I watch his eyes go soft for me like they always do when he gets me where he wants me.
“Do you want one? I’ll give you one if you do. You know I’ll give you anything you ask for.”
“No,” I tell him. I don’t have to think about it. One would think with how I like to dress up I’d be all too happy to have a wedding, but I don’t want one. All I want is to be locked away with Vlad. I don’t want to take the time for a wedding when I can spend my time right here beneath my caveman husband.

Vlad
I watch Tabitha and Alena in the garden talking to one another. She looks over at me and winks, then gives me a small wave. I feel an ache in my heart to go to her and hold her, but I remain still, letting them talk.
She wanted to tell Alena what happened with her mom and about how we’re married now. I hear the two of them giggle and snort, and then Roman laughs beside me.
“Thank you for putting the royal decree through for me,” I tell him.
“Well, you’re welcome, but it wasn’t like you gave me much choice.”
“Oh, really?” I pretend not to know what he’s talking about.
“Yes, I believe when you threatened to remove my balls and feed them to the hounds, that was when I decided it was in my best interest to give you what you wanted.”
I smile and take a sip of my drink.
“Well, that and the mad look you had in your eyes. I knew it all too well. And I knew I would do anything to make it happen. So, by law, she’s yours now.”
“As it should be,” I say, nodding to him.
“I’m glad that Alena has her close. I would do anything to keep a smile on her face.”
“We have the same goal,” I agree as the ladies come back over to join us.
Tabitha comes straight to me, and I pull her into my lap. Her body curls up, and she lays her head on my chest. We sit there for a long time in the sunshine, letting time pass. At some point Roman and Alena leave us, because when I finally look around I realize we are alone.
“It’s a beautiful day,” Tabitha says, sitting up to look at me.
I tuck a strand of her dark hair behind her ear and see the sun shining like a halo behind her.
“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” I say, kissing each cheek before kissing her lips.
We sit that way for hours, just kissing and holding each other. It’s the start of a new life for us, and I want to savor every second of it. Starting today.
I’ve got my whole world in my arms, and there’s more of it to come. Our real story is just beginning, and I can’t wait to turn the page.
Epilogue
Vlad
Nine months later…
I bury my tongue in her sweet pussy and lick up her cream. Her legs are spread wide, and her orgasm is still pulsing through her as I climb on top of her and slide my cock inside.
“Fuck. You’re so tight,” I grit through my teeth, and slowly ease in and out, trying not to cum too soon.
