❝ AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I COULDN’T LOVE YOU MORE, you go and pawn off our children so we can have amazing sex. ❞ he grins, his hands travelling down her curves to the backs of her thighs so he can lift her again, this time wrapping her legs around his waist. maven knows camille hates it when he has to make these trips without her, but exposing his children to the scrutiny of the high houses at such a young age — he doesn’t want to do that to them. and he doesn’t want to do it to her. the mistrust, the judgement, the disdain, it’s hard to take. he kisses her, long and deep, as he carries her into their bedroom, laying them both down on the bed. the kiss breaks only when he has to breathe, and he beams down at her. ❝ you’re the best wife i could’ve ever hoped for. ❞ he whispers against her lips, brushing his nose against hers affectionately. ❝ and i promise i’m never leaving you. not permanently. not ever. i love you. ❞
SHE KNEW HE WOULD never leave, not permanently. she and their babies were the only important things in maven’s life, and he made that quite clear every day. she knew they were the only reason he even wanted to be alive. it was why they were content living their fairly simple life. no titles, just love. “ i love you... “ she whispered, leaning up to capture his lips in a long, sweet kiss. her husband meant the world to her. without him, she would’ve been murdered. without him, she wouldn’t know her worth. she knows it’s much the same for him. “ and i know you would never. which is why i feel the best welcome home gift i can give you is mind blowing sex. i know how tough these trips are for you.. “ maven hated the high houses with a passion, and parading around them irritated all of them. “ so we have all day, all night... and viv wont bring them home until tomorrow evening. “
