I slide over his body, gripping his shoulders for leverage. “I thought you had left me.”
His gaze locks on mine. “Never. I swear to you that will never happen. My heart is joined to yours for eternity. This is my forever.”
I steal a tender kiss from his mouth. “I want this to be forever.”
“You’re done, Bella.” He tangles his hand in my hair. “I’m the one. You’re done looking.”
“I knew you were the one when I sat down at Atlas 22.”
His chin lifts. “You did?”
“I felt something that night I’d never felt before,” I confess. “I felt comfortable and complete.”
Cupping a hand under my ass, he flips us over until he’s hovering above me.
His thick cock rests against my inner thigh. “I always want you to feel that way with me. “
I want that too.
“You’ll marry me,” he says, inching his body closer to mine. “You’ll be my bride one day.”
Nodding, I let out a small moan. “I will, and you’ll be my lover every day.”
“For the rest of my goddamn life.”
I suck in a breath when the tip of his cock slides over my slick cleft. “I’m on the pill. I’m clean if you want to…”
I cry out when he enters me without warning.
“Jesus,” he bites out the word between clenched teeth. “I’ve never done this.”
I haven’t either.
The feeling of his bare flesh inside of me almost sets me over the edge. “I could come already.”
“You will.”
He pumps deep, and again. Each thrust is more exquisite than the last.
We make love with slow strokes with the sun hitting our skin as the world slips away.

Hours later, we’re sitting on his bed with the sheets tangled around us.
“I spoke to Ivan when you fell asleep.”
I had drifted off after we made love. Barrett had offered to clean me, but I wanted to feel his release. Once I woke, we showered in the tiny stall with his elbows hitting the walls and my laughter filling the small room.
I run a hand through my wet hair. “About coming back to Garent?”
“No,” he answers quickly. “I have other plans.”
“Adler Estates?”
“Hell, no.” He laughs. “Irving will recover. He’ll go back to barking out orders. I’ll stay clear of that and him for now.”
I arch an eyebrow. “There’s hope for you two?”
