"Let me know when you get the blueprints" I said to Tyler and he hung up. I walked into the house to see it was pretty empty surprisingly.
"Ellie darling" I called for her and I went into the kitchen to see her sitting in the backyard. I went outside as she sat on the swinging chair that hung from the tree.
"I never realized that this was here" She said
"That's because we rarely leave my bedroom. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Nothings better than seeing you in my bed wearing my shirt" I said sitting next to her and laying her feet in my lap.
"How was work?" She asked "You seem better"
"Because my morning was beyond measure. It helped you know to get that out. I never told anyone that story myself not even Giovanni. Of course there's been speculation but I never told it. I think telling you made me come to terms with it. It's helping me deal with it. So thank you." I said and she looked at me finally
"What's wrong?" I asked looking into her eyes knowing something was wrong "Are you hurt?"
She shook her head. "No. I'm glad that you shared that with me all of it no matter how bad. I want to know every side of you. The good, the bad, the gray." She said and I smiled softly
"You didn't answer my first question" I said and she looked at her hands
"I had a bad day. Sometimes I think I'm over my past with Damian. I think I'm finally free from him and then something brings me back and reminds me that I'll never get away from him alive or dead." She said
I made her look at me.
"You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. You survived him. It will take some time to heal all wounds not just the physical ones. You are protected and you are safe. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that alone. What triggered it?" I asked
She looked down and I caught her eyes again.
"Can we please not talk about it?" She asked and I nodded as she turned around and laid her head in my lap as we swung in the seat. Well not completely because my feet kept touching the ground. I cursed for not making this swing higher.
"One of the biggest regrets I have was calling you a coward that day. It sickens me to even think about it. I wasn't lying when I said you are the strongest woman I know. Even though you shouldn't have to be. You shouldn't have had to be. Although your circumstances, you made it out and you didn't let him take away everything that you are. I love you Ellie but I respect you so much more. That is why what I did to him needed no explanation no thought beyond it. I'd do it a million times over again with the consequence of losing a bit of myself, my sanity each time, each kill if that meant you will be protected. I will stop at nothing to make sure that you get to live the life that you should because you deserve not only to live but to be happy too. That smile that you have takes my breath away each time and to know that I get the privilege to see it or put it on your face, is everything to me."
She stared up at me as I caressed her cheek and I saw the tears run down her face. I wiped her tears.
"And these tears..they absolutely gut me each time" I said
She smiled. "They're happy tears Miles. I'm crying right now because I'm so lucky to have you. I am blessed to have you. You are everything to me. I never thought I could feel a love this strong for anyone. I can't describe the feeling so I cry." She said and just like that I knew she was it for me. There would be no comparison to her. No woman can hold a candle to her.
"How about we don't describe the feeling? How about we act on it?" I asked
"What do you mean?" She asked sitting up and looking at me
"Marry me" I said and her eyes widened
"Miles.." She started
"No this isn't some whim. I've known you were it for me the moment I laid my eyes on you and that was before I got to know you. Then I did and I'm afraid the feeling didn't go away." I said pushing her hair behind her ear "I love you Ellie. Words cannot explain how much I love you so let my ring on your finger do it for me. I said forever and I meant it. Make me the happiest man alive and be my wife"
"Yes. I.. Yes" She cried and threw her arms around my neck and straddled me on the swing. I held her tighter to me and she laughed. I could never get over the sound.
"Really?" I asked pulling her away to look her in the eyes
"Really." She said
"There's no going back after this. You're walking down that aisle" I said and she laughed nodding
She smiled at me and I did her. I wiped her tears and kissed her on her lips. She moaned kissing me back and I grinded her onto my hard self. She moaned.
"Im going to get you a ring that never comes off so everyone can see you're mine." I said
"Mrs. Marino" She said smirking and blood rushed right to my dick.
"Say it again." I said kissing and sucking on her neck
"Mmm Mrs. Marino likes" She moaned
I laughed against her neck. "I'm going to fuck you senseless Mrs. Marino." I whispered in her ear
"I wouldn't expect anything less from my husband" she said and I groaned
"Your what?" I asked putting my hand in her pants
"Miles." She gasped as I put a finger in her and rubbed her clit
"Your what?" I said sucking on her neck
"My husband" She said as I finger fucked her. She moaned throwing her head on my shoulder.
"Miles" She moaned and I felt how wet she was. I knew she wouldn't last long. She rode my hand and I added a second and third finger. "Fuck your fingers are so thick. You're stretching me out"
"Just getting you ready for me darling" I said and she moaned louder. I felt her walls tighten around my fingers and I groaned.
"Fuck Ellie" I said feeling so jealous. I was hard as a fucking rock. She sped up riding my hand and I knew she was coming.
"That's right darling. Come on my hands Mrs. Marino" I said and she breathed heavily throwing her head back. She held onto my shoulders as she came down. I pulled my hand from her pants and pressed my fingers to her lips. She sucked on each one dangerously slow tasting herself. When she was done I wrapped my hand around her neck connecting our lips. I moaned against her lips and soon we heard the front door close.
"Ellie!" I heard and it sounded like Cameron
Why was he looking for her? She pulled away and I fixed her pants. She got off me and I missed her touch.
"Ellie" I heard Cameron much clearer and he looked at her then at me. "Can I speak to you?"
She crossed her arms and I looked between them.
"What are we talking about?" I asked pissed
