Everything about this moment is perfect.
The two of us together. Forging our own life together without the worry of anyone else. It’s everything I could have ever wanted.
Someone to love me for me. Who supports me and my crazy dreams.
“I love you, Chloe,” Dax whispers into my neck.
“I love you too.”
It’s all that needs to be said. Because as long as the two of us are together, we’ll be okay.
I know it.
Epilogue
CHLOE - THREE YEARS LATER
Idon’t think this morning could get any better.
A cup of tea by the pool. The sun high in the sky. Floating in the cool water. Only one thing could make this better.
“Morning, Sunshine.”
And there he is.
Flipping over, I see Dax pulling his shirt off and toeing out of his tennis shoes. In the full light of the midmorning sun, he looks as sexy as ever.
“Hey, husband.”
Stripping out of the rest of his clothes, he dives into the water, slicing through it then popping up right next to me.
“I missed you.” He drops a kiss on my shoulder.
“You didn’t have to go for a run,” I tell him. “You could have joined me for a morning dip.”
He wraps his arms around my bare waist and pulls me close as I link my legs together over his ass.
"You know how hot it’s going to get today,” he fires back. “And now I have all day to do nothing but lie in the pool with you.”
“Oh, yeah? That’s all you want to do?”
I push my bare chest against his, loving the heat that flares through my body.
Dax kisses just below my ear. “I think a hike down to the beach might be nice too.”
“A hike? Really?”
This time, a kiss to my jaw. His hands roam down, squeezing my ass and pulling me into his hardening cock.
“Working up a sweat with you? Definitely.”
“I could think of a much more enjoyable way to work up a sweat besides that.”
“What’d you have in mind, wifey?”
I smile at him. There is nothing I love hearing more than Dax calling mewifey.
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe something along the lines of working up a sweat in the bedroom.” I waggle my eyebrows.
