Thorn tilts my chin up and I look at him.
“I knew the moment I saw you that you were something special, Lily. Yeah, I want to give this thing between us a chance: a fair chance. I want to date you, Lily. I want to Dominate you. I want to teach you. I want to love you, if you’ll let me.”
And I realize that Thorn is asking me for more than just a second date.
He’s asking me to give him a part of myself that until recently, I didn’t know existed. He’s asking me to give him a chance. He’s asking me to love him.
And I know without a doubt that saying yes to Thorn is going to be the best decision of my life.
“Yes,” I whisper. “A thousand times, yes.”
Epilogue
Lily
One Month Later
A month later, and Thorn and I are officially dating. We’re also practically living together, but that’s beside the point. He helped me become a full-fledged member of Anchored, so we’ve been spending our weekends exploring BDSM together in a safe, comfortable setting. I thought I’d be nervous playing in public, but the truth is that I kind of like being a little show-off.
Christina and Zack have watched Thorn and I together a couple of times, and while I figured that would be weird, it wasn’t. She came up to me after each scene and hugged me and told me how great I was. She’s happy for me, and now I realize just how happy she must feel to have found Zack.
Thorn still looks at me like I’m the most beautiful girl in the world, and tonight, we’re going to celebrate our one-month anniversary at the place where it all started: Anchored.
The party is already in full-swing when we arrive at the Club. Thorn guides us inside and we head straight for the bar. We aren’t going to play tonight. Instead, we’re going
to drink and watch some of the special performances lined up for tonight. Someone is doing a demonstration on how one Dom can take care of two subs at the same time, and I’m more than a little curious to watch it.
We order our drinks and when June brings them, she sets something beside mine. I don’t notice it at first until Thorn points it out.
“What’s that?” He asks, and I look at the little box.
“I don’t know.”
“You should probably open it.”
I look at him curiously, but pick up the little cardboard box. It fits easily in the palm of my hand. When I open the box, I’m surprised to see a ring sitting in the center of a pile of rose petals.
“Jaxson?” I whisper, looking up at him, only he’s not sitting at the bar anymore.
He’s on his knees.
Both knees.
“Marry me, Lily,” he says, looking up at me. “I know it’s fast. It’s only been a month, and we’ve still got so much to learn about each other, but I want you to marry me. I want to spend the rest of my life making you smile, hearing you laugh, and seeing you dance. I want to give you babies and I want to grow old with you. I want to see how beautiful those hands of yours still are in fifty years. Will you make me the happiest man in the fucking world, Lily? Will you marry me?”
The whole club seems to fall silent as people realize what’s happening and turn to watch us, but I ignore them as I drop to my knees in front of the man I’ve fallen in love with, in front of the man I’ve realized I can’t live without.
“Yes, Jaxson Thorn. I will marry you.”
We seal the promise with a kiss, and I know in this moment that I’m going to have a most wonderful future with this man I love.
I’m going to get a happier-ever-after.
Who could wish for more than that?
