Epilogue

Ten years later…

"You can't control her,"Mina, says and I roll my eyes.

"Like hell I can't."

She takes a sip of her coffee and gives me those eyes like she knows she's right and there's nothing I can do about it. And I'm mad as hell because she is right and there's nothing I can do about it.

We're at our favorite coffee shop having our early Saturday morning date. Mina's parents come over on Saturday's to have breakfast with the kids, so we get the time to have some alone time and I take my wife on a date.

She reaches out, taking my hand, and of course I melt at her touch. But I'm still aggravated. Our oldest daughter Amy is having a spring dance at their elementary school, but she didn't tell me about it. Instead she told her mom and kept it from me. Mina told me about it that night and asked me to keep it secret. She thinks Amy is being shy and that she didn't want me to give her a hard time.

"I should be able to go, that's all I'm saying," I pout. I know I'm being ridiculous, but I'm in a house with four females. I don't have a choice.

We've had three girls so far and I'm trying to talk Mina into one more. I'd love a boy, but I'd love a girl just the same. I'm not done with babies yet, but Mina says we're blessed to have three healthy girls. Although she doesn't put up much of a protest when I've got her under me.

"Kingsley," she says and narrows her eyes. When she calls me by my full name I know she's being serious. I let out a huff, but I don't feel better.

"She's my baby. Why wouldn't she tell me about the dance?"

"Maybe because of the way you're acting," she says and gives me a soft smile. "You know how Amy is. She's a little shy, a lot like me before I met you."

"Well, she's never getting married then!" I say, a little too loudly, and some people from the next table look over at us.

"King, she's eight," Mina says and rolls her eyes. "And parents are not allowed to attend. The teachers will be there, and they're all just awkward kids anyway. They'll bounce around and do the cha-cha slide, then we'll go pick her up."

"Or maybe I'll just wait in the parking lot," I grumble.

"It's her first dance and she's really excited. I'm sure she'll tell you when she's ready."

"And what if she's never ready?" I say, sulking.

That's the real problem. That my little girls might think they can't come talk to me. I know I'm possessive of Mina and my daughters, but it's because I love them so much. They're my whole world. I don't want to be on the outside of their bond and I've got to figure out a way to fix that.

"She'll tell you, sweetie," she says, leaning over and kissing me on the cheek. "Finish your coffee, we've got to get back in time to take Lexi to soccer."

I take our cups over to the bin and drop them in. Mina waits on me and I take her hand as we walk to the truck and I open the door for her. Once she's inside I go around and get in. I'm quiet on the way back home, but I hear Mina humming along to the radio. It's easy for her to be in a good mood, she's not the one having secrets kept from her.

When we pull up to the house, Mina puts a hand on my thigh. "Remember, just be patient and she'll come around. They always do."

She leans over and gives me a kiss. I hold her there, deepening it. Her hands move up my thigh and to my cock and she cups me.

"Save this for me and meet me in the shower," she whispers, then winks and jumps out of the truck.

We go in the house and she giggles as I spank her ass and she runs up the stairs. "I'll be up in ten," I say.

"Don't be late," she warns as she goes.

I walk back to the kitchen where Mina's parents are cleaning up breakfast and dancing with the girls.

"How was your date?" Lexi asks as she twirls.

"Any time I get to spend with your mom is the best," I answer, grabbing her hand and spinning her again. "You've got soccer in an hour."

"Got it," she says, giving me a high five and running out of the kitchen.

I talk with Mina's parents for a second, telling them what field the game is on so they can come. Then I kiss Amy and our youngest, Beth, on the head before I go to join my woman in the shower.

"Daddy?" I hear just as I'm walking out of the kitchen. When I turn around I see Amy coming down the hallway.

"What's up, pumpkin?" I ask, reaching out and tugging her ponytail. How can my little baby be so big? Where did the time go?

"I was wondering if while Lexi was at her game, you could take me dress shopping."

My mouth falls open and for a second I don't know how to answer.

"I just didn't want to do it with Lexi and Beth there and I wanted a new dress for the dance next week."

"Um, yeah. Yeah, we can do that," I say hoarsely, then clear my throat.

"Okay, great, love you," she says and runs off in the other room.

I stand there stunned for a second before I have to turn and run up the stairs. When I get to our bedroom, I kick the door closed and run into the bathroom.

"She asked for a dress!" I shout, and Mina looks out through the shower glass at me.

"What?"

"She asked me to take her dress shopping," I say and feel relief in my chest.

I didn't realize I was so worried about it until she said the words, and now I'm relieved. I jump in the shower with Mina and pick her up and pin her to the tile wall.

"I told you so," she says smiling at me.

"Don't be so smug," I say, and I thrust into her.

She moans as her legs tighten around me.

"After I'm done getting you off you're going to tell me how to buy a dress."

Her giggle turns into another moan as I remind her who the King is.

THE END!
