“You guys can stay over if you want?” I don’t want them to leave. It’s been so good having them here and I don’t want the loneliness to sink in. Every night when I turn off the lights, the pain in my chest hits and then I cry myself to sleep.

“We don’t want to crowd your space. We’ll go back to the hotel to sleep, but can we see you after you’re done with work tomorrow?”

They wouldn’t be crowding my space, but maybe they want their space. After all, they’re apparently staying in the penthouse suite of the finest hotel in the city.

“Sure. I’ll try to finish early. And I’ll let you know what Brinkley says to the offer.”

“Thanks, Em. God, it’s been so good to see you.” She gives me another hug and it helps ease the tightness that’s already trying to descend over me.

“See you tomorrow, buddy.” I pull Kai in for one. I still can’t believe how great he’s doing. He was talking to me about all the books he’s read lately. He was so excited and happy, and it was such a relief to see. His mom was beaming with smiles the whole night as she listened to his sweet voice. I can tell they’re both on the road to recovery, and it’s so good to see.

“Good night, you two.”

As soon as I shut the door behind them and turn the lock, the image of Trevor floods in. His warning me to get a security system echoes in my head. I still haven’t done it yet, but I’ve been too preoccupied by my sadness to even think about it. But he’s right, I really should get one. Maybe I can ask Shayla to help me find someone who will install it. She mentioned that she will want to get a secured gate and the best alarm system that exists for her new property.

I climb into my bed and turn off my lamp, tucking myself under the covers as the sadness returns. I was hoping that after spending time with his sister and nephew, it wouldn’t come, but it almost feels worse. It’s not the same without him. It’s like there’s a gaping hole now.

“Thought I told you to put in a security system.”

The deep voice has me screaming. A dark figure steps out from the corner of my room and starts stalking towards me.

“Now, you’re my victim, little one. I get to say and do whatever the fuck I want to you, and no one will come save you.”

This can’t be real. I must be going insane. Conjuring up one of my twisted fantasies. But when Trevor’s huge frame climbs onto the bed, making it dip and creak under his weight, I know I’m not imagining things. He’s here. In my room. He’s really here.

“Strip out of those clothes, princess, or I will fucking shred them with my teeth.”

A thrill runs down my spine. Pure happiness is flooding me from head to toe. I can’t believe he’s in my room. He’s free. But Bryson never mentioned anything.

Oh God, please tell me he isn’t on the run again.

“Did you break free again?”

He lets out a growl. “No. Now, fucking lose the clothes.”

Relief is a heady feeling, but he’s going to have to learn how to greet me properly if he wants to get between my legs.

“I believe the proper response is I missed you, baby.” The words come out breathless as he moves in closer, stealing the last of the air in my lungs.

“You have three seconds to show me what’s mine, or your pussy is going to get spanked.”

“And you have three seconds to tell me how much you love me, Trevor, or I won’t let you fuck me.”

My body is suddenly trapped between his huge frame and the soft mattress at my back. His face hovering right above mine. “I don’t just love you, princess.” His voice takes on a softened edge. “I want to marry you and make babies with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you wrapped up in my arms. Now, are you going to give me what I want, or do I need to punish this little cunt?”

His hand goes between my legs and a whimper falls from my lips. “I love you, too. And yes, I’ll marry you.” I’m not sure if that was his official proposal, but as far as I’m concerned, he doesn’t have to ask. My heart is already his.

“I’m glad it’s a yes. But I wasn’t going to take no for an answer.” He smirks. “Still, it’s good we’re both on the same page.”

I go to reach for my pillow, wanting to bonk his smart ass over the head, but he wrestles it out of my hand and then his mouth is crashing down and he’s stealing the fight right out of me with his kiss.

I frantically tear at his clothes, trying to strip him down. As soon as his pants are off, I’m stripped from mine and have him pushed onto his back. I climb on top and straddle his waist, sinking down slow and getting reacquainted with his cock.

His groan runs through me and settles my soul. I ride him slow, taking him deep, savoring every moment of the connection. His eyes are locked on mine, and I can feel his love burning into me. This is it. It’s the two of us now. No more lonely nights. No more dreaded goodbyes or fighting to survive. Finally, we get to start living. Finally, we get to start chasing our dreams. Finally, we get the life we both deserve.

And I… get the family I always wanted.
