Chapter 6

Delaney Marlow~

If I didn’t think Ramsey would kill us all for ruining Emerson’s special day, I’d jump my husband right now.

Deke wasn’t a romantic.

He didn’t recite poetry or mutter fluff for the hell of it.

Every word out of his mouth was the truth as he saw it, and once again, I was reminded of what a lucky woman I was to have Deke Marlow as my husband.

Through four children, college, and law school, Deke had been unwavering in every promise he has ever made me. Life had been really hard at times, but Deke had made them bearable.

Trying to be a wife and mother, while juggling college and law school, had tested the best of what I was capable of. Even with all the money he had made with the firm he owned with Ramsey and Liam, money couldn’t buy my law degree. Money couldn’t buy motherhood or my duties as a wife. I had given my family and my dreams everything I’d had, and I was grateful every day that my hard work had paid off.

I leaned my head against his chest. “You really are too good to me, Deke,” I told him as I wrapped my arms around his body.

His arms automatically came around mine and pulled me tight. He laughed against my hair. “I’m glad you’re delusional enough to think that, Lamb,” he teased.

I pulled back, so I could look up at him. Twenty years later, this man was still gorgeous with his black hair, green eyes, and fierce disposition. “I’m fine with being delusional,” I teased back. “Besides, you’re easy on the eyes and that’s a huge plus.”

“Glad you can stand to look at me,” he smirked, “seeing as how you’re going to have to for the next fifty years, or so.”

“You know, if I didn’t think Ramsey would murder us all in a fit of rage for ruining his surprise, I’d totally let you bend me over right now, Deke,” I confessed.

He threw his head back and groaned. “Goddamn it, Delaney,” he growled. His head came back down, and he speared me with a look. “Why would you say that shit to me? Are you trying to torture me?”

I grinned. “I said it because it’s true, Deke,” I replied. “I’m always…willing when you’re around.”

“And you wonder why we have four children,” he muttered.

I laid my cheek back on his chest and just stood there hugging my husband. It was hard not to be at this wedding and not think back on all the years, especially the beginning. Back in high school, I never, in a million years, would have ever imagined I’d marry Deke Marlow, have his four children, and still be married to him twenty years later, and, yet, here we were.

“I’ll never regret going to that party,” I murmured.

I could feel Deke’s silent chuckle. “And I’ll never regret begging you to forgive me,” he replied.

I laughed and stepped away from him. We had a wedding to attend, after all. “You were such a fucking asshole,” I agreed.
