Emilia grins and takes off her bra. I reach for her, my hands roaming over her body. “So fucking magnificent.”

She shakes her head and giggles. “You’re so extra.”

I turn us over again and tug her underwear off, taking my time kissing every inch of her body. I pause on her inner thigh and look up at her. “I need a taste of you, baby,” I murmur.

She looks at me in surprise, and I smile. I kiss her right between her legs and drag my tongue over her wetness. She moans loudly and I’m instantly even harder. Her skin is so smooth and slick and I love having another one of her firsts. I want her coming on my tongue, and it doesn’t take me long to get her there. I’ve fantasized about going down on her, but this is way hotter than I expected. I’m throbbing by the time she comes.

“Need you, baby,” I whisper.

Emilia nods. “Please, Carter. I want it,” she says, panting. I grin and align myself before pushing in slowly. Emilia’s eyes fall closed and the way she moans drives me insane. I fuck her slowly and steadily, wanting to enjoy every second of this with her. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this close to her. Since we’ve completely lost ourselves in each other. I want this happiness to last.

“I love you,” she whispers. She pulls me closer and grazes my neck with her teeth. Her lips are so close to my ear and every single one of her pants and moans gets me closer.

“I can’t hold on,” I murmur. Emilia nods and sucks down on my neck, marking me. I increase the pace and hold on to her tightly, thrusting into her hard. She moans louder, and I lose it. “Fuck yes, Emilia,” I groan.

I collapse on top of her and kiss her neck over and over again. I take her into my arms and turn us over so she’s lying on my chest. I press a kiss to Emilia’s hair and she sighs happily. I want all our days to be like this.

I sigh and pull her up with me, grabbing the champagne. She smiles at me and grabs my t-shirt from the floor. She pulls my tee over her head and throws my boxers at me. The two of us snuggle up on the pillows on the floor, each of us a glass in hand.

“Here’s to us,” I say. “To the love we share and the life we’re building. I love you, Emilia. I promise you I’ll work hard to make you happy every single day for the rest of our lives.”

Emilia clinks her glass against mine and looks into my eyes. “Me too, Carter. I count myself lucky every single day. I love you so much, babe. I promise I’ll try to make each day happier than the last.”

I wrap my arm around her shoulder and kiss her temple. My heart is overflowing with happiness. I can easily see myself spending the rest of my life with her, just like this.

I grin as she selects The Notebook on Netflix. She laughs and presses a kiss to my cheek.

“You know I don’t even like this movie, right?” she says.

I laugh and shake my head. “Fuck, really? I hate it too.”

Emilia shrugs and presses play. “Screw it,” she says. “It’s a tradition now.”

I grin up at the screen and hold on to my girlfriend even tighter. I want to spend the rest of my life creating more traditions with her. I’m already looking forward to it.

Chapter 45

Carter

Emilia keeps twisting and turning in bed, unable to sleep — and keeping me up too. I groan and pull her against me, spooning her. “Can’t sleep again?”

She inhales deeply and nods. We’ve been happier than ever before, but Emilia isn’t the same. Ever since Kate ended their friendship, Emilia has lost her spark. She doesn’t eat well and doesn’t sleep, and I recently noticed she keeps wanting to frequent places that Kate might be at. It’s clear she’s hoping seeing each other often will make Kate give in, eventually. It’s not a bad theory, but I don’t like seeing her so defeated every time Kate ignores her or sends her a dirty look. I don’t want to see her hurting, and I hate there’s nothing I can do to make things better.

Emilia’s phone vibrates as it lights up the room. I nuzzle her neck when she reaches for it. “I don’t know this number,” she mumbles before picking up. I can’t hear what’s being said, but Emilia tenses in my arms, a small shudder running down her body.

“What’s wrong?”

She’s shaking by the time she ends the call and gets out of bed, her eyes wide. “We need to go,” she says, her voice trembling. She fumbles around in the dark until she finds the light switch and I throw my arms over my eyes with a loud groan when the room is suddenly bathed in light.

“Babe, what the hell?”

Emilia rushes to get her clothes on and throws jeans and a t-shirt my way. “It was the hospital,” she says. “I… they told me to come as soon as possible. I don’t know what’s going on. They just told me Kate was admitted and I need to come right now. I guess she never changed me as her ICE contact.”

I frown at her, confused, and try my best to get dressed as quickly as possible. “Ice?”

Emilia glances at me, annoyed, and nods. “In case of emergency, Carter. Come on, we gotta go.”

I swallow hard and follow Emilia out the door, my heart racing. Kate was admitted to the hospital? What the hell could’ve happened?
