“Are you sure you’re ready.”
This time there is no question of whether there will be a tomorrow or a next time. No worry of him leaving when he is done. An hour later our re-enactment is complete with a happy ending.
“Come on, Beautiful, check out is in an hour.”
He picks me up and carries me to the shower where he proceeds to take care of me as usual.

Over the last week of settling in with Alexander, I have spent a lot of time with Ren and Tori at The Safe House. The two sisters have each told me of their horrible experience with their abduction and rescue, and I have told them of my life before and after Alexander. They oohed and awed over our explosive beginning but cried with me over our loss of two and a half years. They said Alexander or Troy is what they call him, was a mess for the last few years from what their husbands told them, but he never gave up hope of finding me.
It is very strange how intertwined our lives were, and we didn’t even know it. I have suffered abuse at the hands of a man I thought I trusted but never really knew, but I can’t imagine surviving what they went through. Being on the run from Jerry is what brought me to the B&B where I met Derek and Ren, and they have been my life saviors ever since.
As Ren and Tori sit around my dining room table to help me plan our wedding, you would never know that tragedy befell them. They are both radiant; glowing doesn’t begin to describe how these two sisters pull off pregnancy.
“Oh my God, Olivia. You have to give us details. When he asked me to babysit, Troy wouldn’t tell me because I ask too many questions, but what he told Derek me of his plans had me melting.”
“Yeah, and Jax was tight-lipped too. This is so unfair.” Tori whines.
I can’t wipe the smile off my face, and my two new best friends know it was phenomenal. They have had some juicy stories of their own, so I guess I can share a little. “Okay, so you remember me telling you about the therapy we did in the Bahamas, where he would ask me what I see. Well, we do that often now but in a teasing sexual way. So we played that at the restaurant while he fed me champagne covered strawberries and teased me with his fingers under the table. All this happened with my eyes closed and then he slipped the ring on my finger and asked me to marry him. I had no choice but to scream yes, yes, yes.”
They are both looking at me like I have gone mad, but simultaneously pick up their phones sending out a text. What the hell is that all about? Maybe I shouldn’t have shared so much of our intimate details. Just then both of their phones ding and they burst out laughing, showing each other and then showing me.
Ren: I NEED you right now!
Derek: I’m on my way, Baby!!!!
Tori: I need to SEE you right now!
Jax: Be there in five, Love!!!!!
It is only noon and it seems as though our wedding planning will have to wait until tomorrow. I just know now that I can’t share any more juicy details. What happened in the hotel room will definitely have to stay private.
“Okay, tomorrow same time and place, love ya! Ren yells.
“Same here,” repeats Tori
I laugh as they rush out the door to meet their husbands. Alex just went down for a nap, so I wonder what my savage is doing for lunch. I decide to send him a text too.
‘I would like you to have me for lunch.’
I wait with bated breath, hoping he is not in a meeting. Nothing comes back to me, so I go to the kitchen and clean up a little before I start lunch. Strong muscular arms wrap around me from behind, scaring the shit out of me, then his aphrodisiac scent hits my nose, and I melt into his body. My phone dings and I look to the counter at his response.
‘Great minds think alike.’
Neither one of us says a single thing as he lays me out on the kitchen counter. A half an hour later I return the favor and for the last hour of his two-hour break, he teaches me how to ride, not letting me have too much control. I love my savage man.
“My Beautiful Savage. You know I’m not letting you go, right?”
~Savage~
Driving back to work with a smile on my face will surely give me away, but right now I couldn’t care less. My life could not be better and I have broken the Alexander pattern. I am getting married in two months. I wish sooner, but Ren and Tori vetoed me on that plan. They said they needed time to prepare and put on a wedding to remember. The only part they let me plan was the honeymoon and they cried when I told them of my plans. Now I just hope they can keep a secret.
I pull in just as Jax is getting out of his SUV, also with a big smile on his face. We just nod in each other’s direction and bust up laughing; life is good.
I vent to Jax about the wedding date later that afternoon, hoping he will talk to Tori and Ren for me.
“Mate, if you want to move up the wedding, then do it. You are just going to have to grow some balls and tell the women how it’s gonna be.”
We have been arguing over
