“Shit, baby.”

I covered as much of his dick as I could and slid my mouth up and down. Every time I reached the top, I swirled my tongue around his head.

“Ssss, just like that, D.”

His fingers got lost in my hair as he controlled the pace and depth. I gagged when the tip hit the back of my throat, causing my eyes to water. More spit gathered in my mouth, and Aziel tried to stifle a moan but was unsuccessful.

“Baby, shit! I’m—fuucckk,” he groaned.

He exploded in my mouth, and his warm seeds shot down my throat. I tried to keep sucking, but Aziel almost threw me across the room.

“I wasn’t done.”

“Yes, the fuck you were. Are you trying to kill me already?”

“Of course not. You’re worth more to me alive than dead.”

“That was sweet, baby, but it’s not gon’ save you from what I’m about to do to that pussy. C’mere.”

“Good morning, good people. I brought you all here for two reasons. I don’t want to hold you here any longer than necessary, so I’ll get right to it. I have decided to run for a second term as mayor of Onyx City.”

I couldn’t see the crowd, but there was a round of applause. We were on a stage, and Aziel stood behind a podium. I was seated behind him and didn’t have a good view of the crowd. Tammy was sitting next to me and probably had a much better view.

The reporters asked Aziel several questions related to what he planned to do for the city if he won another term, and I listened intently as he handled each question with ease. I’d watched a few of his press conferences in the past and thought he did an amazing job. Now that he was my husband, I was even more impressed with his ability to speak so eloquently about topics most weren’t interested in discussing.

“You all will have more opportunities to ask questions over the next several months. I’d now like to share the second reason I’ve called this press conference.”

There was a hush over the crowd as they waited for him to continue. He turned around to extend his hand toward me. I took a deep breath and took his hand to stand beside him at the podium.

“A little over a week ago, this beautiful young lady did me the honor of becoming my wife. Please welcome Mrs. Desire Harris as the first lady of Onyx City.”

Aziel kissed my temple and remained beside me as the crowd erupted in applause again. My nerves were still unsettled, but the seemingly warm welcome helped.

“Thank you for such a warm welcome, and I’m excited to begin this new journey with my husband and Onyx City.”

I received another round of applause and took that as my cue to sit down. However, Aziel squeezed my hand, causing me to freeze. When I looked at him, he nodded toward the crowd. There were reporters with their arms in the air waiting to ask questions. Aziel pointed at one who was close to the front.

“Congratulations on your nuptials, Mr. and Mrs. Harris. I’m sure I’m not the only one surprised by this news. Why all the secrecy?”

“Just because you didn’t know doesn’t mean it was a secret,” Aziel replied.

“Does that?—”

“I’m sorry, you’re only allowed one question,” he interrupted and moved on to the next reporter.

“A few weeks ago, you were spotted at a charity ball with another woman. Were you and Mrs. Harris engaged then?”

“No, we weren’t. Next question.” He pointed to another reporter.

“Is it true you two met through the marriage matchmaking service Arranged Hearts?”

“Technically, no. My wife happens to be my daughter’s preschool teacher. We met on her first day of school. However, Arranged Hearts is responsible for us becoming husband and wife.”

“But—”

“One question only. You, in the red jacket.”

A man in a red jacket stood, but the woman in front of him, wearing a red sweater, stood first and began to speak.
