“And what about the vision?”
“If we have to lose each other in the end, it will be awful. But I’d rather have you, and then lose you again, than not have you at all. I lived without you for the last two months, Nylah, and I don’t want it. I realized what life would be without you, and I’m wholly uninterested. You complete me. Your magic completes mine. We live for others, we save and heal and protect and guide others, and at the end of the day, I want to come home to you. You’re the light of my life, Nylah.”
“Dex,” she whispered. “I’m scared.”
“You don’t have to be,” I said, and I took her into my arms. “I’m here, and we’ll figure this out. You and me.”
“You and me,” she echoed, and then she looked up and kissed me.
My heart sang—this was where I belonged. Whether she remembered or not, what we felt was solid, and I remembered. I knew what we’d had. I knew we could have it again.

NYLAH
Ihadn’t known how serious I was about Dex until he walked out of my life, and I hadn’t known how lost I’d been without him until he’d come back into my life again.
He wanted to be with me, no matter what. He wanted to be withme, and not all the memories, the past I’d lost. He wanted to build a future with me, and not with me alone, but with our baby, too.
I hadn’t felt pure happiness like this before—not in the time I knew about, the time I remembered.
In a world where I’d lost everything and I floated around, lost and untethered, Dex had become my anchor. Now that he was back, everything made sense again, and I trusted him that we would get through whatever came.
He had become my everything without me realizing it.
Dex kissed me, his tongue sliding into my mouth, and I melted against him. He held me tightly against this large frame, and a feeling of warmth spread through my body. When I was with him, I didn’t feel confused and worried and scared. I was at peace. I was home.
Dex continued kissing me, leading me toward my bedroom. We stumbled over each other as we tried to strip off our clothes and remain pressed up against each other while we made our way to my bed.
By the time we reached it, he only had pants on, and we’d left my dress somewhere near the door.
Dex lowered me onto the mattress and climbed onto it with me, the mattress dipping under his weight. He kissed me, laying his body on top of me. He held himself up, careful not to crush me.
I loved it when he pinned me down. His size was a turn on, and I felt small and delicate next to him. I loved how he took charge.
Dex cupped my breast for a second, and I gasped, before he slid his hand down onto the small swell of my belly. He broke the kiss and looked me in the eye.
“This is beautiful. You’re beautiful.”
I blushed. “I feel like my body isn’t my own anymore. I was already lost, but this confuses me more.”
“I’m here for you,” Dex said. “It’s natural, it’s the miracle of life, and we’re going to get through this one step at a time. It’s a beautiful thing.”
His words were soothing. The panic I felt about being a mother eased.
Dex kissed me again and slid his hand down lower to push it between my legs. I moaned when his fingers found my clit, and he flicked them back and forth, drawing lazy circles.
I shivered and trembled as he teased me, sliding his fingers over my clit, faster and faster so that I was close to an orgasm, only to slow down and let it subside again.
“You’re driving me crazy,” I moaned.
“It’ll be worth the wait,” he said with a sly grin.
I kissed him and slid my hand down his sculpted torso. He lifted a little so I could worm my way into his pants, and I wrapped my fingers around his cock. He groaned when I touched him, and when he pushed his fingers into me, I mimicked the rhythm up and down his shaft the same way.
“I missed you,” he bit out through gritted teeth.
I mewled when he slid his fingers onto my clit again as he said it, making it impossible for me to think of a response that didn’t sound like gasps and moans. He rubbed me faster and faster, pushing me closer to the edge at a rapid pace, and when I toppled over, he didn’t stop to tease me, to pull me back.
