Trusted that he was Real.
As for Margaux, Skylar’s jealousy wouldn’t go away overnight, but she knew at least some of that jealousy wasn’t because Margaux slept with Julian; it was that she was so special to him and that she’d known him so much longer than Skylar had.
Maybe her jealousy would never go away. But right now, when it came to Margaux, the important thing was . . .
She didn’t feel threatened.
She trusted her instincts.
She trusted that Julian would always put her first.
She trusted what she and Julian had discovered together.
She trusted in their love.
“Julian,” she said, propping herself up to look at him.
He reached out and stroked her cheek. “What is it, princess?”
“We’re in this together, Julian. And that means your friends are my friends. I’m not saying I want to be around her a lot— I’ll probably be jealous of her in some way or another for a very long time, at least in the beginning— but . . . when I’m ready . . . when what we have doesn’t feel so new . . . I’d like to meet Margaux.”
He sucked in a breath. “Are you sure?”
She nodded. “For right now, I am.”
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her breathlessly. “You are incredible. More than I ever could have dreamed of. I need you to know you are my priority. Anything and anyone else can fall to the wayside when it comes to your happiness.”
“What about you? What aboutyourhappiness?”
“I’m holding her, sweetness.”
He gathered her into his arms, and for the next minute, they kissed and caressed one another. By the time Julian pulled away, they were both breathless. “Now,” he said, “we can revisit this discussion as many times as you need to, but how about for the rest of the night, we don’t mention anyone else’s name but yours or mine?”
Skylar grinned wickedly. “I have an even better idea. What if I scream your name instead?”
