A grin crept up her cheeks. Laughter danced across her lips. She swallowed it down.
Finally—finally—she gave me her answer.
“Yes.”
I shot up, scooped her into my arms, and gave her the deepest, hungriest, realest kiss we’d ever shared.
Our friends broke out in cheers, sending the crowd into chaos, too. Everyone around us clapped, whistled, and hollered.
Even the asshole dog started running in circles around us, barking.
“Oh.” Fae giggled into our kiss, snapping her fingers as she remembered something. “I have a dog now.”
“Wehave a dog now.” I spoke against her lips, refusing to part. And goddammit, we had a dog now.
“Oliver says you hate messes.”
“Only when that mess is Oliver himself.”
She pulled back a little. Her thumb traveled to my neck, brushing right beneath my ear. “I figured out why I love you.”
Our noses touched.
I nuzzled mine against hers as we tried to steady our breaths. “And why is that?
“You’re my home.”
“I figured out why I love you,” I countered.
“And why is that?”
“You make my soul breathe fire, my beautiful dark desire.”

Iwake up to an elbow to the ribs.
Instead of answering, I spoon Farrow from behind, fanning her hair away from my eyes.
“Babe, are you awake?”
With an exhale, I glance at the clock on the nightstand. Five-fifteen in the morning.
AmI awake?
Depends.
Am I awake to hear Octi tell me Mom begged her—again—to consider a New York wedding, though Fae clearly wants to stay in Potomac?
No. That can wait until morning.
But am I awake for a third round of taking my fiancée against the shower wall?
Why, yes.
After all, hygieneismy passion.
Farrow reaches for the nightstand and snatches her vibrating phone. Her brows furrow at the screen.
