“I can’t hold on…” I whimper.
“It’s okay.There are no limits on orgasms.I’ll keep them coming for you.Day and night.Anywhere you want it, I’ll give it to you.That’s right…shudder for me.Let me feel your surrender.
“Please…Locke…”
“I love it when you say my name in that breathless littleyou fuck me so welltone.”
“You do.You fuck me so well,” I groan.
He picks up the pace, his thick cock plunging into me while he strokes my clit.
“Harder…” I beg.
“Yeah, that’s it, honey, harder and faster.”
“Like that,” I say as I come.
“Yeah…have some of this…” He sucks in his breath audibly as he groans, slamming his hips into mine as he pours into me.“There you go…every drop belongs to you…yes…”
“Well…” I say.
“I agree with you.I fucking love doing laundry,” he says.
I laugh as he picks me up and carries me into the bedroom.“I have to finish the invitations,” I say as he sets me on the bed.
“I’ll help you with that after this.”
He rummages through the bedside table.“I hid this earlier today as a surprise thinking you’d find it, but you didn’t and I can’t wait any longer.”He hands me a jewelry box wrapped with a white ribbon.
“What is it?”I carefully untie it and remove the lid, then let out a cry.“You got it back!”The tears pour out of me.
I’d designed this moon and stars necklace with my grandmother in mind.She used to love to sit on her porch with me and under the light of the moon and stars, she’d tell me stories.Some true, some she made up to entertain me.She was a rock in my life.
I cry hard for that loss and for the love of a man who moved mountains to bring me back the moon and the stars.
Locke holds me, smoothing my hair and wiping my tears.“I have nothing to give you,” I say through my tears.
“You gave me your heart.Nothing can ever top that because it’s all I ever wanted.”He kisses the corner of my mouth.
“Thank you,” I whisper.“Not just for this but for making Doug and his family pay for what they did.”
Locke took their home.Their company.Their reputation.They were forced to leave Laketon Heights.
“I love you.There’s no wrong in this world that I wouldn’t make right for you.”
“I love you, too.”I snuggle in his embrace.Though it hurt, and I’m not thrilled with everything I went through, I’m glad now that my life took the path it did.It crossed with Locke’s, the man who is and always will be my love.My fate.
Epilogue
Locke
Theskyissoblue it looks fake.The afternoon sun sparkles across the ocean’s surface as the water pushes gently toward the white sand before pulling back in retreat.A hot breeze rustles through the palm trees.
Island of Midnight is paradise.Not because it’s a place of luxury for billionaires but because Salem is here.She’smy paradise.My siren.My fate.My beautiful woman.It’s been two years since our wedding, and I still feel the same thrill I did the first time I referred to her as my wife.
“You’re not thinking about work are you?”
I turn toward Salem.She’s walking toward me smiling, carrying two tropical drinks.
