I feel myself climb higher, the pleasure spiraling out of control as I inch closer and closer to the edge.

Then, he leans in close, his warm breath tickling my ear as he whispers, "Sophie, you feel amazing.”

His words are the final push, the tipping point. I fall apart beneath him, a climax more potent than the last washing over me. His name spills from my lips, my words a breathy thanks for his gentleness, patience, and love.

Damien follows soon after, his climax marked by a low grunt as he fills me, his essence warm and comforting. Exhausted, he collapses next to me, his body pressed against mine, the intimacy of the moment cementing our bond.

He reaches out, his fingertips tracing a path along my sweaty cheek before leaning in to kiss my skin softly.

"That was...way better than I expected," I whisper, my voice barely audible, "I couldn't have asked for a better first time."

A playful smile tugs at the corner of Damien's lips as he turns to face me.

"If you think the first time was good, just wait until the second," he teases, his tone light and filled with promises of more shared moments like this.

I laugh, the sound echoing around the room.

"I can't wait," I confess, my gaze meeting his.

We exchange tender kisses, our bodies entwining as we explore each other further. The joy I feel is overwhelming, an elation that has me longing to share my happiness with my friends. They'll be surprised, but I know they'll be happy for me too.

Eventually, we settle down, my head resting on his chest, the steady beat of his heart a comforting lullaby. His arm encircles me, holding me close, his lips pressing a soft kiss to my forehead.

"Do you want to come with me to pick up Lucy? School ends in a few hours," he asks, his voice filled with anticipation.

I hesitate, biting my lip.

"Isn't it too soon?" I ask, my mind already picturing the shock on the little girl's face.

Damien smiles, shaking his head.

"She'll be surprised, yes, but happy. I know she will."

His confidence reassures me, a warmth blossoming in my chest. I'm happier than I've ever been.

This is everything I've ever wanted - the fairytale love, the caring family. I couldn't ask for more.

And as I fall asleep in Damien's arms, his heartbeat a steady rhythm in my ear, I know I'm home.

Epilogue - Damien

I'm lying back on the checkered picnic blanket, squinting through the sunlight that dapples the leaves overhead. Sophie's laughter fills the air, the sweetest sound in the world.

Lucy is practically bouncing around her, the excitement of a young girl about to become a big sister palpable in her every word and action.

"Can I do it again?" Lucy asks, her eyes wide with anticipation.

"Of course, sweetheart," Sophie replies, her hand resting on her rounded belly.

The sparkle in Sophie's eyes makes my heart flip in my chest. Watching her bond with Lucy like this, it's a kind of magic I never thought I would find.

As Lucy huddles closer to hear her brother kicking, the look of awe and wonder on her face is a sight I want to remember forever. She's chattering away, going on about our baby boy and the future.

"What's his name going to be?" Lucy asks again for the hundredth time today.

I chuckle at her curiosity.

"We haven't decided yet," I answer, grinning at the slight pout on her face.
