My whole life, the harder someone’s love felt to attain, the more I wanted it. Perhaps, I wanted to prove I wasn’t a quitter. Or that I was worthy. But now, suddenly, I realize love has always been so fucking hard for me, as far back as my teens, because I was never with the right person. I wasn’t with Amy.

Our synchronized movements have become furious and passionate. If we keep going like this, we’re going to break my bed. Gasping for air, I sit up and devour Amy’s hard nipples. When I’m on the bitter brink of release and hanging on by a thread, I grasp Amy’s face and look into her eyes. The green eyes that have lured me in and melted me from my earliest memories.

“I love you,” I choke out. “I’ll always love you. Forever.”

Amy chokes out the magic words in reply, before her eyes roll back. With a guttural growl, she digs her fingernails into my shoulders and comes with sublime force. As her innermost muscles send shockwaves of pleasure into my cock, I release along with her—and not only physically. As I come, I release everything that’s been holding me back until now. Fear of getting hurt. Fear of not being enough. I resolve to give this woman all of me, forever, the good and the bad, without holding back, in a way I’ve never done with anyone else. I’m Amy’s now. All of me. I’m committed to her and only her—to building a future with this woman, for the rest of my days.

As our heart rates settle down, we hold each other, our foreheads pressed together. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her tenderly, feeling overwhelmed with love and joy and peace.

“I’m so happy,” Amy whispers.

“I’ve never been happier in my life.”

“I never even dreamed this big.”

The unbridled love I feel for Amy is making me feel like I could leap tall buildings. It’s making me feel like there are no rules or boundaries. “You can go off the pill, any time you want,” I whisper. And the minute the words leave my mouth, I feel nothing but excited about them.

Amy looks skeptical. “Any time I want?”

I nod. “It could be tomorrow or five years from now. No need to say a thing about it to me, in advance. In fact, surprise me. There aren’t enough surprises in life. Good ones, anyway.”

If I weren’t holding Amy in my arms right now, I think it’s fifty-fifty she’d flop over and face-plant onto the mattress in shock. I laugh at the way her body is turning to jelly in my arms and lay her down next to me.

“You okay?” I ask, as we lie alongside each other and cuddle.

“You’re sure about what you said?” Amy asks.

I nod. “Choose your own adventure, Ames. I’m all in, whatever you decide to do.”

I can practically hear Amy’s heart thumping inside her chest. “If you change your mind, you’ll need to tell me. Otherwise, I’m going to rely on this conversation.”

“Go for it.”

She’s blown away.

“Okay, wait. A caveat. I know you’re excited about your new job, and in a perfect world, I’d like to do a little traveling with you and the band before we have a baby to consider. So, come to think of it, I’d prefer you wait maybe six months before you pull the goalie.”

“Oh, I never would have done it before then. I can’t imagine I’d do it in less than a year. I’d want your movie to come out before we have a baby. It’s going to be a huge hit, Colin. Probably lifechanging for you, and I want you to be able to enjoy that, fully, without being pulled in too many other directions. I’d also love having some time when it’s just you and me.”

“Cool. We’ll have a year with the goalie in place, and after that, all bets are off. Surprise me.”

She bites her lip, looking like she’s holding her tongue.

“What?” I ask, and when she looks sheepish, I add, “Whatever you’re thinking, spit it out, babe. From now on, we need to agree we’ll always speak our minds.”

Amy exhales. “I’d need to be wearing your ring before I’d feel comfortable pulling the goalie.” She makes an apologetic face. “It’s not that I don’t believe you when you say you love me forever. It’s just that—"

“Dude, I’m gonna put a ring on it.” I chuckle as Amy’s body relaxes into mine. “Didn’t you listen to my lyrics? I’ll love you till I’m old and gray. I’ll love you from beyond the grave. I’ll love you forever and a day. I didn’t pick those lyrics because they rhyme. Of course, I’m gonna marry you! You think I wanna be eighty years old with five kids and fifteen grandkids with my girlfriend?”
