His eyes widen. “See?” he yells over his shoulder. “I told you they’d eat me!”

What in the hell is going on?I get to my feet and turn around to find Tom’s and Amy’s heads sticking out from behind an air vent. “Would someone care to explain?”

Tom opens his mouth to speak, but a splash has me spinning around to find Sam has disappeared. “Sam!” I scream, running to the edge of the platform. He’s sinking.Oh God, can’t he swim?I dive in after him. It takes four powerful strokes to reach him, and I wrap my arms around his torso and kick as hard as I can.

We resurface seconds later, and Tom helps me haul an unconscious Sam onto the platform.

“What happened?” Tom demands. “Did you push him in? The guy is just trying to show you he loves you, and you try feeding him to your sharks! What is wrong with you?” he yells as I clear Sam’s airway and roll him on his side.

Sam coughs and hacks up water. When I’m sure he’s done, I turn him back over and slap him as hard as I can.

He bolts upright. “What was that for?” he yells.

“For scaring the crap out of me, you asshole!” I yell back.

“Guys, guys, settle down.” Amy’s calm voice enters the fray.

“Oh, fuck off, Amy. What the hell are you even doing here?” I spit. She and I haven’t spoken since she admitted to spilling the beans about The Starfish Method to Sam and Tom.

She huffs and crosses her arms. “This is the thanks I get for helping get the best thing that ever happened to you back? You’re so ungrateful, Han.”

Still crouched at Sam’s side, I throw my hands in the air. “Would someone please tell me what is happening?”

Sam grabs my flailing hands and knots our fingers together. His wet hair drips in his eyes, and he smiles at me with so much tenderness my heart aches. “I love you, Hannah. I thought coming here and facing my completely reasonable fears, by swimming with your babies, would show you that. But maybe I should have just told you.”

Tears pool in my eyes, and I sniffle, desperately trying to hold them at bay. “You were going to swim with my girls? For me?”

He nods then shrugs. “I guess I technically did swim with them. Even though I was unconscious, it still counts, and I’m never doing it again.”

Joyous laughter spills from my lips, and I launch myself at him, knocking us both back into the tank. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him hard. He doesn’t kiss me back until I whisper, “They’re scared of the splashing, and they’re on the other side of the tank by now. I promise.”

Then, it’s on. Sam’s mouth crashes into mine, and we kiss like it’s our first and our last.

“I love you, too,” I murmur against his lips then lead him over to the submerged ladder and let the big scaredy-cat exit the tank first.

TWO YEARS LATER.. .

I hoverover my insanely gorgeous wife and trail kisses along her torso, paying extra attention to her sensitive breasts.

She sighs and rolls her hips into my hard-on. “Good morning,” she mumbles sleepily.

“Isn’t it?” I say before sucking a pink nipple into my mouth. Hannah simply hums her assent. I move along her body, drawing pleasured moans and sighs from her. Skimming my nose along her throat, I relish the little shiver that ripples through her.

Positioning myself at her entrance, I go to surge forward, but something occurs to me, and I pause.

“Why’d you stop?” she whines.

“Are you starfishing me right now?”

Her eyes pop open, and she laughs. “Seriously?” She shakes her head, grinning. “Sam, I’m tired and heavily pregnant. I couldn’t wrap myself around you even if I tried.”

The sound of her laughter still affects me as much as it did when we met. I fucking love it. “Just checking.” I chuckle, and she reaches for my face, dragging it to hers so I can kiss her thoroughly.
