Friends and family gathered around us, and Chris did his best to remember all the names thrown at him.He was especially grateful to the Miller family for taking care of his daughter when he couldn’t be there for her.He and my father had an instant connection and were acting as if they were long-lost brothers before the funeral service was over.

After the burial, Christa and I were in the car, heading back to our condo, when she turned in her seat to face me.“Aaron?”

“Yeah, babe?”

“Why did you never give up on me?If you’d tried to push me away as hard as I did you, I don’t know that I would’ve kept trying.I would’ve thought, if he wanted me in his life, I’d be in it.I wouldn’t have to keep fighting for a spot.But you never gave up.Why?”

“You should never give up on someone you love.If you love them, they deserve a second chance, regardless of how many second chances they’ve already used.If I’d walked away without fighting for you until my very last breath, I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life.I’d already learned my lesson about regrets, and you weren’t going to be a repeat.”

“There’s something I need to do tomorrow morning.Will you come with me?”

“Of course.”

“You’re not going to ask what I need to do before committing?”

“No, because it doesn’t matter.I’m in this for life.There is no you, no me—there’s only ‘we’ now.We are one, so what makes you happy makes me happy.It’s as simple as that.”

She was deep in thought for the rest of the ride, no doubt reflecting on the emotionally draining day she’d had.When we walked into the condo, we headed straight to the bedroom and changed into our pajamas.I took a seat on the couch in front of the fireplace, and she immediately crawled into my lap.My arms circled around her, and I buried my face in her neck.

“I wrote down every text you sent me, and I kept every letter you sent me.I reread all of them every day.I’d wait for your text to come in and stare at it for the longest time, willing you to appear out of nowhere.Now you’re here with me, and I’m never letting you go again.”

I leaned down and gently kissed her.She knew how deep my love for her ran.She knew there was nothing I wouldn’t do for her.Saying the words again was pointless.My actions proved it time and time again.

“I watched my father today when he wasn’t looking.He stared at her lying in that casket like he wanted to crawl in there with her.After all this time, after everything she did to him, he still loves her.He’d rather die with her than live without her.”

“I know exactly how he feels.”

“I do too.That’s what I was thinking about on the way home.So, from this second until the end of our life—notice I said life and not lives—we have no time for holding back.Every second of every day will be the best we’ve ever known.Even through hard times, even through all the fights where I’m right and you’re wrong.Nothing can steal our happiness or take away our love.Promise?”

“Cross my heart.”

Soon after we settled into a comfortable silence wrapped in each other’s arms, she fell asleep, exhausted from the trying day.I stood with her in my arms, carried her to the bedroom, and undressed her for bed, all while resisting the urge to wake her with my tongue on her clit and my mouth devouring her pussy.As much as I needed to feel her body wrapped around mine, she needed to rest and recuperate.

But tomorrow.Tomorrow, she was all mine.

I slid in behind her, my skin against hers, and wrapped my arm around her.Sleep took over before I even realized how tired I was.When I awoke, it was to the most incredible feeling in the world.My morning wood was being put to good use by a warm, wet mouth hidden under the covers.I could barely open my eyes, but my body knew exactly what it wanted.And my cock was saying to take her right then before he exploded.

I reached under the covers to pull her up to ride me, but she resisted.“Baby, I’ve been holding back while we’ve been dealing with life.But right now, your mouth feels so fucking good, if you don’t stop, I won’t be able to stop.”

Damn if she didn’t work me harder, her actions showing me what she wanted.My hips bucked involuntarily, matching the rhythm of her mouth and hand working in tandem.My head fell to the pillow, my eyes rolled into the back of my head, and I took a flying leap over the edge while she swallowed every drop.My cock grew even harder when she crawled up my body and straddled me.Then she lowered herself down on me while I watched my dick disappear into her, one inch at a time.

Her hips undulated, first rocking back and forth, then up and down, while her fingers dug into my chest.My hands slid up her legs, clenched her hips, and helped guide her movements.As she came down, my hips surged upward, and her soft moans turned to feral screams.Sweat-slickened, her body glided against mine when she leaned over, her chest against mine.The sensation was too fucking much to handle, and I barely held on until she came one last time.

She collapsed on top of me, our bodies still joined as one in every possible way.If she moved in the slightest bit, I’d be ready to go again, though I wasn’t sure she would be by the way she panted in my ear.Fuck, everything she did was so damn sexy.

“I have a surprise for you today.”

“More than waking me up with the best damn blow job in the world?”

She giggled, and the ripples through her body hit mine.My cock began to harden inside her again, and then I thrust my hips upward.She sucked in a sharp breath and began to move with me.So, I rolled her over and fucked her with everything I had one more time.When we were both spent and breathing heavily, she gave me a lazy grin.

“I still have another surprise for you today.Do you think we can make it to the shower?”

I cut my eyes at her and raised one eyebrow in mock challenge.“Do you doubt my stamina?Do I need to prove it to you again?”

“No!”she yelled and laughed at the same time.“I believe you, I believe you.We have to leave the condo soon, though, so we’ll have time for everything afterward.”

“Get your fine ass up and shower, then.You have until the count of three, or I’m rolling over and fucking you again.”
