Epilogue
The kids were all wide eyes and gaping mouths as they gazed at the home.
"Is this really our new house?"
Kyle smile serenely as she nodded. Her response elicited screams as Olivia began to shake with glee.
"It's huge!"
Beside her Judah looked unsure as he asked her, "Are you sure we can afford this?"
She could see where he might be worried, with the large marble pillars stretched across the front entrance, the large entry way with double staircase, the big bedrooms, each with its own bath, and swimming pool with accessories in the back.
Patting his hand reassuringly, she told him, "We can afford it. Mr. Derringer may have invested the money, but it was all mine. And I had a very good lawyer."
It was his turn to gape as she let the kids wonder the house while she led the man up to the bedroom. There was a balcony on one side, with a large walk in closet taking up the whole other side of the room. The bathroom had a shower with waterfall and a bathtub with jets.
But she wasn't looking at any of that as she shut the door behind them.
"Judah."
He just pulled his attention away from all of it as he looked back at her.
"I know the ink isn't quite dry on our marriage license, but I don't think anyone would object if we started our honeymoon early."
His face was pink as she stalked towards him, removing an item of clothing one piece at a time.
"The kids are occupied with the house. Isabel and Titus will be here shortly to take them out for ice cream, and they have strict in instructions not to bother us. So…"
She could tell from his darting eyes that he knew he was trapped as the back of his legs it the edge of the bed. She had very little left on as she pushed him back on the pillow top mattress.
"Now I should let you know, I never really experienced my wedding night, so I'm expecting a lot. No pressure."
His little yelp was so adorable she wanted to bite him. And she did.
The tiger was finally free to pounce.
