Page 63 of Mr. Too Damn Good

“Well, if that’s the case, just wait until I call you ‘husband.’”

He kissed me again, and this time I could feel his erection pressed into my thigh.

“Oh my goodness, Naijhel,” I whispered as everyone applauded us.

“Baby, just turn around and smile,” he whispered. “Wave your hand like a beauty queen so the people can see the ring. All I need is a few seconds to think about worms and puppy dogs, and I’ll be good again.”

I laughed so hard, but I did exactly as he stated. It took a while, as everyone gathered around us to see my ring, but eventually, it went down. After everyone congratulated us, Naijhel asked, “Baby, may I have this dance?”

“When are you going to stop asking that? You know you don’t have to ask to dance with me.”

“I won’t ever grow tired of treating you the way that you deserve to be treated, Del. You’re a very special woman who deserves to be treated like the queen you are.”

“And you, my king, deserve to have anything your heart desires. I will dance with you until my feet can no longer move.”

“And when that happens, I promise to carry you in my arms,” he murmured against my lips.

I let my fiancé hold me and guide me around the room. As we drifted across the floor, I gazed back at his cane. Despite the fact that he used a cane for walking, Naijhel was an excellent dancer.

We had come a long way. I hadn’t heard from Clayton anymore, Naijhel’s law firm had won the case to clear up Greg Yancey, and things were going great at the museum. My debts were all paid, my savings was growing exponentially, and life couldn’t be better.

We danced and laughed and danced some more, kissing throughout our dancing. I glanced around at my family, friends, and staff, and my heart felt full seeing the happy smiles on their faces. But most of all, it was the gleam in Naijhel’s eyes that placed the joy in my heart.

This was the happiest day of my life, and it was a birthday that I would never forget. I wasn’t sure what I had done to deserve his love, but I was grateful that although my first time around was hell, God had blessed me with a second chance with a man who was not only too damn good, but oh so perfect.
