“Because you finally made a perfect match?”
“No!” She slaps my chest. “Because I’m in love with you too, you jerk! I think I’ve always been in love with you. I just didn’t know what to do about it.”
“Same. I think I kept telling myself it was impossible, that you didn’t want me that way, so it would never work.”
“I did want you that way. This way.” Her arms and legs tightened around me. “But I was scared.”
“I know.” I kiss her forehead. “Relationships are scary. But lucky for us, we know each other really well. There won’t be too many surprises.”
“Well, it kind of surprised me when you tied me up.” She giggled. “Although, I have to admit I liked it. It made me think there are still things about you to learn.”
“Good.”
“So can I tie you up sometime? Give you a spanking?”
“Fuck no. I will do the tying up and spanking in this relationship.”
She sighs dramatically. “Fine. I guess I’ll just have to think up other ways to be naughty.”
“That is a fucking deal.”
God, I love my life.

I wake up in Reid’s arms, the warmth of his body behind me, the masculine scent of his cologne on my sheets. Smiling, I breathe it in without even opening my eyes.
For the first time in so long, I feel completely happy.
I took a risk, and it paid off. Do we have all the answers? Nope. But we’ll find our way together. And I trust Reid to keep my heart safe.
He stirs behind me, and I feel a little tap-tap-tap on my ass. It makes me snicker, and even though I try to smother it, he hears.
“Are you laughing at my erection?” he asks, his voice gravelly.
“I would never,” I say, putting a hand over my mouth.
“Good, because there is nothing funny about my dick. It is a very serious, very large, very important thing.”
I burst out laughing. “Is that so?”
“Yes, that’s so,” he parrots, tickling my ribcage and making me shriek. “Do you want to feel how large and serious it is?”
I roll my eyes while shaking my head. “I think I got a good idea of that last night.”
He beams. “You did, but maybe you forgot.”
As much as I’d love to stay in bed and be reminded, I have to get up because today is my parents’ anniversary party. “You can remind me tonight, affffter …”
“After?”
“After we go to my parents’ party.”
Reid groans, tossing his arm over his eyes. “That’s today?”
“It is.”
