Mabel was asleep on my bed... no our bed, i reminded myself with a grin, as i looked down on her, the early evening sun casting a golden glow across her body.
I could see little marks from our lovemaking in amongst the faded bruising she already carried and felt a moment of disquiet at hurting her but she had been with me all the way, our first lovemaking session had opened her eyes to how it could be and she wanted more, more and more, both of us finally crashing after the fourth round.
Now she slept deeply, comfortable in both my arms and home, but I knew it was a lull and I would have to deal with Deering to make her truly safe.

I carefully moved the cover up over her before grabbing a pair of sweat pants and heading for the kitchen, she would be hungry when she woke, so I would get food ready for when she woke and look again at the files she had marked up earlier.

It was two hours later my senses told me she was awake and pushing the files aside, I slid the dishes into the over to warm before going to find her. She was in the shower, her soft humming making me smile as I stopped I the doorway to watch her before shedding my clothes and joining her. Her lack of surprise showing me she had known I was there.
"How are you feeling and be honest?" I ask, kissing the side of her neck before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her soapy body into mine.

"That's the best sleep I have had in forever, I ache a little, but it's a good ache" she rushes to assure me as i tense at her words.
"I hurt you?"
"No, you made me use muscles that I don't think have ever been used, you showed me how good it could be" she tells me turning in my arms, her hands coming up to cup my face. "I promise you did not hurt me" she repeats holding my gaze.
"So shower sex is off the table?" I query with a grin and she smacks at my chest with a laugh.
"Maybe later" she says blushing and biting her lip.
"Probably for the best, dinner is nearly ready and we are still wet" I tease, running my hand between her legs which open as she groans and rocks up into my hold. "Behave" I tell her with a laugh, reaching for the sponge and rubbing it all over her, ignoring her building moans as if get her clean, laughing as she snatches it from me and turns the tables, and my cock jumps to attention.
"How much time do we have?" She teases wrapping her hand around it and stroking.
"Not enough" I growl out, hissing as she drops to her knees and takes me into her hot mouth. Her tiny hands coming round to squeeze and stroke my balls and I know it definitely won't be long before I'm cumming down her throat like a horny teenager. "Baby, pull off unless you want me to choke you" I warn her but she just hums and I feel the vibration right up my spine and twisting my hands into her hair I hold her close as I rut into her, once, twice and then I'm cumming, locking my knees to keep myself upright as she takes everything, not letting go until I'm spent and she has licked me clean.

"I love you" I tell her pulling her up into my arms, wanting to see her eyes as I say the words that have come straight from my heart.
"I don't know how, and I'm scared its happened so fast but I... I think I love you too Dominic" she replies, smiling up at me, both of us laughing as her stomach growls.
"Come on my angel, let's get dressed and eat" I carry her out of the shower, carefully stopping to wrap her in a warm towel before taking her to our dressing room.
"I don't have..." she starts to say but stops on seeing the clothes from earlier all hanging along a rail opposite mine. "How?" She murmurs and I grin.
"Leon had them delivered whilst we were at lunch. We can get more later but for now they will do"
"What's your favourite colour?" She asks randomly whilst looking at the clothes.
"Hazel with fiery flares of gold and green" I tell her, laughing as she swats at me.
"Be serious" she mutters and blushes again.
"Before today it was blue, but now, since meeting you, your eyes are all I can think of when it comes to a favourite colour" I tell her honestly and smile as she reaches for a blue set of clothing before dropping the towel and making me groan.

"Get dressed Dom, you promised to feed me remember" she taunted, peeking up at me over her shoulder as she dressed and I laugh again, reaching for my own clothes.
"Baby I will remember ever tease, don't you worry, but your right, its time to eat" i take her hand and lead her back through the house to the kitchen, seating her at the table and enjoying the feel of her eyes on me as I pour her a glass of wine and take the plates from the oven.

"This smell wonderful, how did you learn to cook?" She eagerly picks up her fork and moans around her first mouthful.
"My mother was determined we could look after ourselves, even if we didn't need to, so both Leo and I and our cousin Viridian all had weekly lessons with our chefs, nothing fancy but good home cooking, after the first few lessons, our lesson meals became the dinner for that evening so we learnt fast to make it taste good, or we went hungry"
"You sound like you enjoyed it, it was a good time?" She remarks softly.
"Viri grew up with us, she was more a little sister than a cousin, there were some threats against her and we protected her, gave us a scary at one point when she got trapped in our lift and more recently when she went to university but she's happy now, with her husbands"
"Husbands?" She queries and I grin, wondering how she will take this.
"Viri has four husbands, brothers Ash, Jett, Grey and Raven Steele, she met them at Uni. One day soon I will introduce you. I wasn't sure about them at first but they grow on you and they worship the ground Viri walks on, and to be honest she is such a trouble magnet she needs all of them to manage her, especially now she has the baby"
"Does she know you say that about her?" She laughs at the look of horror on my face.
"Hell no, she would kill me" I tell her, wondering how soon i can get them to meet, knowing Viri, would love Mabel and I think Mabel would love Viri too.
"Eat up" I prompt her and tell her stories about growing up with Leo and Viri as we eat, questioning her a little about her upbringing in between my stories.
"Thank you" she says finally pushing her plate aside "That was wonderful, both the meal and the conversation"
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, i'll clear this and then we can get back to those files, the sooner the Deerings are dealt with, the sooner I can feel sure your are safe"

We spent the next few hours pouring over the files, and had lots of evidence, i had been right, the inside knowledge that Mabel had was key to seeing all the pieces fit together.  We had sent a copy of our findings to the police team leading the investigation through our informant but they were not reacting fast enough.

Mabel had contacted a couple of old colleagues and shared what we had found and they had warned her away from getting involved.  She had left her number with a couple of them and somehow it had got back to Roy Deering who she was with and the information she had.

The threats left on her voicemail had made her cry and I wasn't having that, she was mine and after three days of being scared to go outside the apartment she had agreed to go to lunch at my parents house. Our car had been shot at on the way and whilst it had not caused any real damage, thanks to the bulletproof bodywork, she had worried she was putting me at risk and had to leave me to keep her safe. I wasn't having that.  Leaving half my security team to deal with the cleanup, we had gone on to my parents.

By the end of lunch she had relaxed a little and was smiling again and we were on the terrace with my parents when I dropped to one knee.
"Marry Me" I told her, holding up a ring I had chosen from the vault on our arrival, a beautiful vintage Cartier that had drawn my eye for her.
"Are you asking the poor girl or telling her" Mum had laughed as Mable had stood looking shocked at the ring.
"Telling her, never going to let her go, not now i have her" i told them, keeping my eyes on Mabel who hadn't said a word yet.
"Mabel?" I prompted.
"Yes" she gasped out.
"Yes" I repeat, sliding the ring free and reaching for her hand.
"Yes" she agrees, letting me slip it into place before jumping into my arms, silent tears, of joy this time, falling as I swing her around.
"My fiancée" I whisper claiming her lips as my parents offer their congratulations.
