Joyce. Yep that name suites her. “Oh no! Oh no!” Glancing over to me, Joyce ran her tongue along her top lip. “What about you, will you be able to make it?”
Sierra dropped the box she was holding . . . right on Joyce’s foot. Joyce began hopping and jumping up and down as Sierra apologized over and over. Guiding the woman down the stairs, Sierra practically walked her back home. Running back toward me, Sierra turned and called out. “Don’t forget to put ice on that!”
Setting the box into the back of my truck, I hid my laughter until Sierra stopped right in front of me. “You’re evil.”
Lifting her eyebrow, Sierra said, “She came on to my man. I don’t think so, bitch.”
Pulling her into my arms, I kissed her on the lips passionately. Wrapping her arms around me, Sierra moaned into my mouth. “Two days and you’re going to be mine.”
Smiling against my lips, Sierra spoke. “Are we moving too fast, Aaron?”
“Hell no.” Pulling back, I looked into Sierra’s eyes. “Sierra, if you want to wait, I’ll wait as long as it takes. As long as I get to wake up every morning with you in my arms. That’s all I care about.”
Slamming her lips back to mine, Sierra grabbed a handful of hair and gave it a hard tug. “I have to clean up the house since we’re closing on it the day before the wedding. I figured I’d just do it today. Kacey is coming over at four to pick up my bedroom set. After that, I plan on being naked in bed with you all night long.”
Placing my hand on the side of her face, I brushed my thumb along her porcelain skin. “I like that plan.”
Kissing her again, I forced myself to let her go. “I’ll take this stuff back to my place. Don’t forget we have to meet my parents for dinner tonight. Mom wants to finish up last-minute stuff for the wedding.”
My heart slammed against my chest any time I thought about marrying Sierra this Saturday. Excitement and nerves both mixed together.
“Oh, that’s right. Okay, well I can hold off on getting naked until after dinner I guess.”
Slapping Sierra on her ass, I said, “Call me when you’re on your way.”
Walking over to the door with me, Sierra shut it and smiled. “Okay. We should be finished up by five if not sooner.”
A strange feeling washed over me as I glanced down the street and then back at Sierra’s house. “Do you want me to stay with you and help you clean?”
Shaking her head, Sierra grinned sweetly. “No. I’ve got this, baby. It doesn’t need much cleaning. I’ll probably be bored waiting on Kacey.”
Giving her a smile and a wink, I said, “Sounds good, baby. Call me if you change your mine. See ya soon. I love you.”
Blowing me a kiss, Sierra said, “I love you too.”
Backing out of Sierra’s driveway, I headed down the street. As I looked in the rearview mirror I couldn’t help but smile as she stood there and watched me drive off.
Just a couple more days and she would be Mrs. Aaron Walker.
WALKING INTO THE KITCHEN, I pulled a bottled water out of the refrigerator and took a drink. I’d spent most of the afternoon cleaning. The only thing left in the house was my bedroom set Kacey was coming to pick up with her husband. Heading back into my bedroom, I began taking the drawers out of the dressers. Glancing at the clock I saw it was three. Kacey would be here in an hour. I wonder if she could come sooner? Sitting on the bed, I sent Kacey a text message.
Me: Hey. If y’all want to come over early feel free. I’ve got everything out of the house.
Kacey: Our truck won’t start. Running to get a new battery and then we will head that way.
The front door alarm beeped saying it had opened. Jumping up, I glanced over to the alarm box. Shit. I swore I set the alarm.
I began walking out of my room when I called out, “Aaron?” Walking into the kitchen, I set my cell phone down on the counter and made my way into the living room. Letting out a scream, I came to a stop as I came face to face with Robert standing in the middle of my living room. He smiled an evil smile as he tilted his head and looked at me.
“I’m home, baby.”
Swallowing hard, I tried to stay calm as I turned and headed to my bedroom. “Robert, you need to get the hell out of my house now, or I’m calling the cops!”
Glancing over my shoulder, he just stood there smiling. The moment I stepped into my bedroom, I shut the door and locked it. Running over to the alarm box, I hit the silent panic button.
Turning around, I stared at my bedroom door. “Sierra, tell me what I hear is not true. You’re getting married so soon after our divorce? You fucking slut! You belong to me, don’t you know that, Sierra.”
