Mr. & Mrs.: An Arranged Marriage Romance Page 7
Her body stiffens a fraction before she cocks her ass back and looks over her shoulder with wide-eyed innocence. “It was a surprise.” She whimpers.
Wrapping my hands around to her front, I cradle her tiny bump and murmur in her ear, “You can’t hide from me. Not this.”
“Oh,” Megan hisses and a rosy tinge climbs up her neck, she’s ready to let go, “I know. Oh God, Jordan, please.” Pregnant, Megan never lasts long, but she begs for more. We both get a workout and that’s how I knew she was carrying another life a few weeks ago.
“Alright, baby, let go for me. Give me your sweetness.” It’s all she needs as I thrust into her at rapid speed, bringing my own release to the surface and we cry out together.
Panting, I hold her to my chest as our bodies adjust to the emotional high we always create together and she turns in my arms, a huge grin on her face.
“We could have a staycation?” She suggests and I’m not opposed to the idea.
“We could.” I pretend to ponder the idea. “Still going to let Elliot stay with my folks?” I’m only staying if I get Megan all to myself for the week.
“Of course. I feel the need to please my husband a few ways.” She winks and kisses my jaw, nipping the flesh as she pulls back.
“I’ll call the pilot.” As I reach for the phone in my jacket pocket, Megan strides towards the washroom, allowing her dress to slide to the floor as she goes.
“Jordan?” I gaze up at her as the phone starts ringing. “We’re having a little girl.” With a giggle at what I’m sure is my shocked expression she’s gone.
A girl.
That means there will be boys.
Lots of boys, because if she’s anything like her mother, they’ll be all over her.
Fuck.
“Hello? Mr. Maxwell is that you?” My pilot calls a few times before his voice registers.
“Cancel the flight, we’re staying home.”
“Yes sir.”
“Also, tell Dodge and Trainor we need more security.”
“Sir?”
“She’s having a girl. There will be boys. Lots and lots of boys.”
“Congratulations sir!”
“Jordan!” Megan calls and I hang up, wandering over to where I hear water running and walk in to see my sweet wife soaking in a tub full of bubbles, smelling like roses.
“A girl.” I repeat again. She nods. “I’m getting more security.”
Megan laughs, making her nipples peak through the water and I suddenly forget about everything else but my naked and wet wife.
The woman who gave me everything.
Love, children, life.
Because of her, I have the world.
Happily, baby after.
Recipes
Hey ya’ll, so I thought this would be a fun addition. I love finding new recipes and while I was writing Mr. & Mrs., I wanted to include something Tahitian other than location. The obvious answer is of course FOOD!
Were you enticed by the meal served to Jordan and Megan on the cruise? I was! I even made it! Now you can absolutely mix and match your own flavors to this recipe, but I followed it… for the most part!
Sweet Tahitian Chicken
Ingredients:
•1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
•2 cloves garlic, minced
•1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
•1/2 cup Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce
•one (20 oz.) can Dole Pineapple Chunks in Pineapple Juice
•1 Tablespoon brown sugar
•2 Tablespoons dried onion flakes
•1/2 teaspoon Kikkoman Sriracha Sauce
•1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
•1 Tablespoon cornstarch
•1 Tablespoon water
•1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•1 Tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) (We omitted this ingredient)
•2 Tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
I also added a few extra veggies like sweet bell peppers. (My older kids devoured this meal!)
Instructions:
1Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
3In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4Add the soy sauce, pineapple chunks with their juice, brown sugar, onion flakes, sriracha sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Bring mixture to a boil Reduce heat to low and add the cornstarch and water mixture. Stir. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5Arrange the chicken breasts in a 7 x 11 baking dish. Pour the sauce over and place in a 350-degree oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
6Serve over Minute Rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Banana Po’e
(This was delicious!)
INGREDIENTS:
* butter or coconut oil, for greasing pan
* about 7-8 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
* 1/2 cup brown sugar (could also use palm sugar), plus extra for sprinkling
* 1 cup cornstarch, sifted
* seeds scraped from 1 Tahitian vanilla bean
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 can full fat coconut milk, unshaken and refrigerated for 2-3 hours
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 and butter or grease a 2-quart baking dish
Place the banana in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. You should have four cups of banana puree. Pour into a large bowl and add the brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until firm/set.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Cut into cubes and place in a bowl. Remove the top from the coconut milk. Spoon the cream, which should have risen to the top, over the cubes of banana po'e. Sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar and serve.
Firi Firi
(The donut/twinkie things they had for dessert. Sooooooooo good. Like addictively so.)
Ingredients:
• 4/5 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar, plus more to coat
•1 pinch salt
•2.5 tsp dry yeast
•1/3 cup water, lukewarm
•6.75 oz. coconut milk
•Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions:
1Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add 1 tbsp of the sugar, mix well and leave the yeast aside to activate until frothy.
2Put all the ingredients (including the frothy yeast) in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk well. You need to obtain a thick and smooth batter. (You can also do this by hand)
3Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 3 hours.
4Put the batter into a piping bag and cut a 5 cm – 2-inch hole (or use a 5 cm – 2-inch round tip).
5Heat the vegetable oil until it reaches 170°C – 340°F.
6Pipe the batter into the hot oil cutting out pieces of approximately 13 cm – 5 inches in length.
7Fry them on both sides until golden brown (they need to be more brown than golden!).
8Put them on a plate covered with kitchen paper to drain the excess oil, then roll them in granulated sugar and serve!
Notes
Make sure the oil is at 170°C – 340°F. If the temperature is lower your Firi Firi will become soggy and if it is higher, they will burn and will not cook inside!
