Her father surprisingly kept silent as he nodded and took his seat.
The door to the church opened ten minutes later and the grueling process began.
She’d stayed at the grave awhile, saying her goodbyes in silence, and then she walked away without looking back at her parents.
Rocky hadn’t pressed. They returned to the new compound and entered his dorm room. She sank onto his bed and he sat beside her. “You holding up okay?” Rocky asked.
“I just want to go celebrate the happiness we found and let this sit on the shelf for a while.”
“We can do that.” He bent down and kissed her softly.
Her lids fluttered closed and she moaned.
Rocky pulled away. “Don’t sound so sweet, baby. I’ll end up eating you and we’ll never leave this room.”
“Promises.”
“Tonight I’ll make them a reality.”
She laughed. “I accept your offer.”
“‘Cause you know I’m good for it.” He nipped her ear and slapped her ass. “This skirt is begging to be flipped up so I can take you.”
She whimpered and he smirked. “You like that thought, don’t you? Remembering the pool table?” He skimmed his fingers over the edge of her skirt.
“Oh God.”
“Now you know my name, mama.”
“Rocco.”
“That’s right.” He slipped his hand under her skirt and stroked her slit. Her wet heat made him growl. “So fucking wet and ready for me. We can’t leave you like this all night, can we?” He sank to his knees in front of her and pushed the skirt up. “Let me take the edge off and taste that pink pussy I’ll be coming in tonight.”
She gripped his hips and he smirked, rubbing his face over her panties as he inhaled her arousal. “Damn, baby, I can smell how bad you want it.” He moved her underwear to the side. “And you know I’m going to give it to you.” He flicked her clit once, twice and sucked it in, slipping two fingers into her tight sheath.
She ground her hips down, a wild, beautiful thing come to life as she bared herself for him. They worked together until she clamped down, coming undone for him as she filled his mouth with her warmth. He rested his head on her stomach, holding her hips as she panted. “Fucking love you, Evonne.”
She ran her fingers through his hair. “I love you too, Rocco, always.”
Unable to help himself, he grinned like a fool. “You ready to be my old lady for the rest of your life?”
“You ready to be my old man? I can be demanding and you’re a good five years older.”
“Shut your fucking mouth. You know whatever you want I’ll give to you.” Leaning back, he gazed up at the woman who now hung the fucking moon as far as he was concerned.
She laughed and shook her head at him. “I’m teasing, baby. I never imagined this life for myself, but it’s a part of me now. The same way as you, there’s no going back and I wouldn’t want to if I could. With you I’m alive, whole and loved. That’s more than I’ve ever had my entire life. Don’t you know you’re my dream come true?”
His heart threatened to explode, she saw him as the one who gave everything. “Never thought I’d be ready to lock into one woman, but you showed me your heart and I knew I’d kill anyone who tried to claim it. We’re good together. I’m pleased with the match. I’ll never be a flower-toting chocolate buyer. But you best believe you’ll never doubt how I feel about you.”
Evonne gave a small smile and ran the tips of her fingers down the side of his face. “I know.”
With their vows given, he placed a kiss to her belly, righted her clothing and stood. “We got a party to attend and the sooner we get there, the sooner I can bring you back here to fuck you senseless.”
“I’m so okay with that.”
They left the room and Rocky couldn’t help but marvel at how the things he once thought of as a cage had come to be the true definition of living free.
