Claiming His Queen by Goode, Ella (ebook reader for manga TXT) 📗

the cum I have in my body. “Take care of me. I don’t know how to love anyone. You’ll have to teach me.”

A sob catches in her throat. “I don’t know how to love anyone either.”

“Then we’ll learn together.” I roll her over and thrust inside of her.

“Again, Aidon?” she asks in bewilderment.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever have enough of you. I love you,” I confess. Words I’ve never said to another. For a reason I don’t deserve, she says them back.

Chapter 19Cora

“Do you think we could go out to a restaurant?” I ask. I stare out of the car window as we pass a handful of them. There are so many things I haven't gotten to do over the years. I wonder if Aidon is going to keep me in a cage too. I’m not mad about it. I get it. I can be used against my husband and my mom. I love them both so much I never want that to happen to either of them. Yet I want to experience new things, and I want to do it with Aidon.

The thought of losing my Aidon is unbearable. I know he would feel the same if something were to happen to me. When you love someone this much, there is a lot that comes with that. You open yourself up to possibly losing that person one day. I can only hope that it will be decades from now with our grandchildren all around us. I don’t know why I’m thinking about these things. Aidon has changed so many things for me that I can’t imagine my life without him in it now.

“You’re hungry?” Aidon wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me into his lap.

“Not right now.” We just had lunch. “I didn’t mean we had to go now, but one day. Maybe we could have a date night!”

“You want a date night.” He brushes my hair off my shoulder before kissing my neck. I melt into him more. “Then I’ll give you one. I own a handful of restaurants.”

“Really?” I bounce in my seat. Who knew falling for the most feared man in the city could turn out to be my very own fairy tale?

“If I have the means to do something for you, all you have to do is ask me, and it will be done.” I turn my head to look at him.

“You know I’m a sure thing. You don’t have to butter me up.”

“I never say something I don’t mean.” I press my mouth against his, loving the way he kisses me. This man has changed so much for me. We’re learning the meaning of love together.

“You should be careful. People are going to think you’ve gone soft.” He smirks. Ahh. I love that damn sexy smirk of his. I’m the only one that can get it from him.

“If anything, they should fear me more. If something happened to you, I’d burn this city to the ground.” I suck in a breath. “Am I turning you on, sweet wife of mine? If I reached into your panties would your pussy be wet for me?”

“You know you are. If I was wearing any they would be.”

He growls, taking my mouth in a deep kiss that leaves me breathless.

“We’re here,” he says when he pulls back from the kiss. I swear Aidon is pouting right now. He did not want me coming to my mom's warehouse. That’s what it looks like from the outside at least. There are enough rooms for all of Mom’s girls to stay if they needed a place. This is where they train and do anything else they need to.

“You can’t keep me from my mom. Plus, I have things here I want to take home.”

“I’ll buy you all new things.”

I roll my eyes. “Some things are irreplaceable. Like my hardcover books.”

Bran opens the back door. Aidon slips me off his lap, getting out first before offering me his hand.

“I don’t like this,” he grumbles. His hand that’s holding mine tightens.

“Sorry, no men allowed.” I stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. He still has to lean down some for me to reach his mouth.

“Cora!” I turn to see Laura standing in the doorway. She’s all dolled up right now. Her breasts are almost spilling out of her corset. I have to admit that it’s nice to see a familiar face. I’ve been missing my friends from here. Even though Kailler and I have become closer, I’m still breaking down some of her walls.

I bounce over to her, giving her a hug. “When we told you to seduce the man, we didn't mean marry him,” she teases me. I glance over my shoulder at Aidon to see if he might be looking at Laura. I think she is the prettiest of all the girls. And the deadliest. Aidon’s eyes are on me and only me.

“Twenty minutes.” Aidon taps his watch.

“Twenty minutes!”

“It will be nineteen soon.”

“You’re lucky I love you.”

“I am,” he agrees quickly. “I love you too.”

“Okay. You win. I know you might go into withdrawal for me if I’m gone too long.” Laura snorts a laugh.

“We got her, big guy.” Laura pulls me in, shutting the door behind her. “That man looks like he wants to devour you.”

“He does.” I put my hand over my mouth. I can’t believe I just said that. Laura laughs even harder.

“Is my mom here?”

“She’s on a call in her office, but she’ll be out in a few. We let her know that you’re here.”

“Will you let her know I’ll be in my room?”

“Will do.”

I make my way toward my room. It takes me a minute because everyone keeps stopping me to hug me. I’m pretty sure they all think of me as their little sister.

“You’re back.”

“Sara!” I wrap her in a hug. Aidon told me he hadn't hurt any of the girls. They still, however, are on the hunt for who killed Poppy. If we’re all on the same
