“I fuckin’ love you, my queen.” He rasped.

“And I fucking love you, my king.” She panted breathlessly.

Oh yes, he liked that, liked it a hell of a lot.

Liked being the man she saw as her king, her protector, her lover, her biker man.

Actually.

He not only liked it.

He loved it.

Loved being all of that for her.

Gently disengaging from her he rolled off the bed, went to the bathroom and got a warm cloth to clean his woman. Once done he returned the cloth to the bathroom and went back to the bed.

Picking her up he pulled the covers down and gently settled her in their bed, covering her up.

On his side of the bed he checked that he had his weapon on the bedside table, his sweats on the floor next to the bed before he slid in beside her.

Reaching out he pulled her into his arms and settled her head on his chest, his hand going to the back of her head, his fingers spearing into her soft pale blonde hair.

“Thank you, baby.” He murmured against the top of her head. “Thank you for lovin’ me and givin’ me this life. It’s somethin’ I never thought would be mine. You’re the dream I kept dreamin’ and when I finally reached out, there you were, givin’ me what I needed. I swear on my life I will always love and protect you and our family.”

He had no idea why he felt he had to give her his vow here in their bed.

All he knew was that it felt right.

It became even better when she echoed his vow.

“Thank you for loving me and Ry, thank you for the life you’re giving us and for making all my dreams come true. Thank you for being our protector. I give you my vow I will always love you and with you beside me I will love and protect our family. Forever.”

“Forever, my queen.”

He held her as she fell asleep on his chest. Listened as his son’s soft baby breaths sounded through the monitor beside him.

Life was good.

He knew it wouldn’t always be good. Knew there were dark times ahead.

But with the woman in his arms beside him he could weather any storms life would throw at them. They would do it together. Always.

Always together.
