Anniversary
âI got you a gift, but I didnât know what youâll like so...âÂ
One of the things Willow prided herself on is her hard-earned wealth; granted, it was wealth gained from a life of crime. She can get her boyfriend pretty much anything, may it be in this world or off-world. The problem is, she doesnât know what he wants. He never asks her for anything and itâs confusing.
On the bright side, the wealth she had was not wealth given to her by her father. Money she knew that was rightfully hers. She frowned at the thought.Â
âAre you okay?â Caleb asked, snapping her out of her fugue. He eyed her curiously, and she could sense a hint of worry dancing in his handsome face. She smiled. Adorable. The slightest frown could have him fawning over her in seconds.Â
âIâm okay, just, uh, thinking about my father.â she replied. âI lost a lot of money I couldâve gotten from the company... And, you know, me being his real kid.â
âZoe said theyâre fixing it, right? Donât worry about it.âÂ
âNo, they can keep it and shove it up where the sun donât shine.â Willow seethed, but at the same time, money is money. That was money she worked so hard for, that was money she sacrificed so much forâ
âAre you sure?â Caleb asked.Â
â...â
âHmm?â
â...no. Itâs my money...â
âBut youâre not supposed to have access to your own money?â he teased her, smirking. âKnowing you, babe, I know you couldnât give a damn about your probation but have you ever thought about just being truly free from it?â
âI love how youâre trying to explain being good to someone like me, a criminal mastermind of epic villainy. I should probably get the criminal equivalent of the Nobel Prize.â
âI know youâre a good person, and you donât have to keep punishing yourself.â
âAre you gonna accept your anniversary gift or are we going to have this weird conversation about my existential crisis again?â
âYou donât and you never have to get me anything, Will.â
âI just want you to know that being in a relationship with me has its perks; I can get you anything you want or anything you needâmmph!â She grunted in surprise as Caleb pressed his lips against hers. The kiss seemed to go on forever, and she felt herself gasping for air when he finally tore his lips away.
âDo I have to remind you that itâs you that I want?â He growled, and she felt a tingle shoot throughout her entire body.Â
âOh, boy... Now, now, now, Iâm very very much up for it but can we justââ Before she can continue protesting, he bent down to carry her over his shoulder, and lumbered up the stairs to their bedroom. She struggled for a bit but stopped when he lightly slapped her ass as a warning. He threw her over the bed and crawled up to her, trapping her beneath him.
âIâm happy with you, Will. I love you.â He looked deeply into her eyes, and she had to look away, trying to suppress the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Damn this man for making her feel this way!
She took a deep breath, and met his eyes. âI...â
âYou donât have to say it back, I understandââ
âI love you too, Caleb.â she whispered. âYouâre the best thing that ever happened to me.â
âI know, and Iâd like to keep it that way.â
âConsidering that we have work tomorrowââ
âYouâre not leaving this bed until Iâm finished with you, woman.â
âOh, no.â
