BASH

My girl stares at me like I’ve lost my mind. Silly girl, she should know I lost it seven years ago when I first laid eyes on her.

“You can’t give me that kind of money, Ba—I mean Daddy!”

I place my hands on either side of her hips, trapping her between me and the counter. “I can, and I will. My girl isn’t going to live her life doing something she doesn’t want to do. She’s going to live it happy, doing what she’s passionate about, and her Daddy is going to support her along the way.”

Her gaze softens as she peers up at me from under her long lashes. “Daddy, it means so much to me that you want me to pursue my passion. Really, it means the whole world to me. You can’t give me that kind of money, though. It’s not appropriate. We just, you know, started this thing between us.”

My lips twitch at her nervous hand motions.

This thing between us.

“This thing,” I say, “is forever. You’re going to be my wife. I’m going to fill you with my babies and watch you become the most beautiful mom in the world. What’s mine is all yours, baby. The only thing I want from you is your love and loyalty.”

A small squeak escapes her as those beautiful blue eyes go wide. “Who said anything about babies?”

I shrug. “Do you not want babies? If you don’t want them, we don’t have to have them. I’ll just pretend I’m trying to get you pregnant when I’m fucking you. All I need to be happy is you for the rest of my life, everything else is a bonus.”

She’s completely rigid against me, and for a moment, I worry I’ve gone too far, too soon. I don’t seem to have that warning bell that should go off, telling me to shut the fuck up when I’m around her.

When she huffs out a shaky breath and then starts giggling, my stomach tightens into a ball. Shit. I did. I went too far.

“You are unreal. It’s been three days, and you’re already talking about marriage and babies. This is… This is weird. Right? People don’t do this. Not regular people. They date for a few years and then maybe get married, and then a few years after that, they might have a baby. That’s…that’s the normal way to do it.”

My poor baby. She’s panicking.

I wrap my hands around her biceps and gently stroke them with my thumbs. Her eyes soften as she stares up at me. My touch alone seems to center her and bring her back to reality. “Nothing about our lives is normal, sweetheart. We live very differently than the rest of the population. In this life, we don’t know how long we’ll have. Men in the mafia don’t usually die of old age. So maybe I’m moving quickly, but it’s because I’ve been without you for the past seven years, and I don’t want to spend another year of my life without you being mine.
