Zoe shakes her head, leaning down to rub her nose against mine. “I didn’t do anything.”
“You’re right. You didn’t do anything. Youareeverything,” I say, taking her hand and pressing it against my heart. “Here and here.” I keep my eyes pinned to hers as I point at my head.
“Dominik,” she sighs, and I catch the slight tremble in her chin.
Taking a deep breath, I look around and cringe. “Hold on to this feeling, because you’re about to hate me in two seconds.”
Her brows furrow. “Why?”
I gently set Zoe onto the ice, kissing her nose before letting out a loud whistle, my eyes fixed on my marker in the stands. He immediately turns and blasts a horn. I watch Zoe as the entire stadium rises to their feet. Each person in the crowd is clutching a tiny white box. Suddenly, another whistle pierces the air, and in unison, all the boxes spring open. Purple paper butterflies, in a mesmerizing flurry, engulf the entire venue, soaring through the air.
“Oh my fucking god!” she yelps, her mouth open in complete shock.
“I know how much you love grand gestures.”
She turns to me, smiling cheek to cheek. “You’re in so much trouble.”
I scoop her up in my arms, kissing all over her face.
Zoe looks so happy, her arms raised in the air as she catches butterflies in her hands. Happier than I’ve ever seen her before.
Her radiant smile lights up the ice, and seeing her happiness fills me with unparalleled joy. Holding her gently in my arms, hearing her laughter, and breathing in the sweet scent of her hair, she becomes the entirety of my world. Her happiness is the greatest achievement I could have ever hoped for.
She is, and will forever be, my greatest achievement.
EPILOGUE
DOMINIK
A year later
Life is good.
So fucking good that sometimes I have to pinch myself and make sure I’m not dreaming. Every day with Zoe has felt like a dream, and when it’s this good, something is bound to go wrong, isn’t it?
Too bad I don’t believe that shit. Now that I have everything, most importantly the girl of my dreams, there is no way I’m letting it go.
I will always work hard for the things that matter and the things I want in life.
I come back to the moment, focusing on Zoe as she straddles me, riding me in the back of the car. Her perky tits bouncing up and down as a light sheen of sweat covers her flawless skin. Fuck, she’s so beautiful.
The moon, grand and radiant tonight, casts a luminous glow, enveloping the cabin in a perfect light as I etch this moment into my memory.
She looks like a true goddess in the moonlight.
My goddess.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything so much, and I know I never will.
I trace her damp skin as her curls fan all around her bare shoulders. She stares down at me, eyelids heavy with desire as she rides my cock.
“Is this what you wanted?” I groan, gripping her hips and deepening our movements.
Zoe moans, biting her lip. “Yes,” she breathes, closing her eyes.
“Eyes on me, baby. I couldn’t hear you.”
“Yes,” she screams, opening her eyes as I thrust deeper, curling my hips to hit her G-spot.
