She managed to write a full book and find an agent, and her manuscript was currently being reviewed by a major publisher. We were both living our dream life together and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it.

None of it really mattered, though—as long as I had her.

I was still healing, but Winter was right. I was happier than I had ever been in my life before, and I owed it to her. My therapist insisted it wasn’t healthy to base my happiness off another person, but that rule didn’t apply to me. Winter was my safe place, she always had been. And with my own healing process, I found that I was deserving of her. I deserved to be happy and to live this life I was living.

I may have made changes, but at the end of the day, Winter was the only thing that truly mattered. I couldn’t care less about anyone else on this planet but her.

My relationship with my mother wasn’t anything special, but we were both trying to navigate having a healthier one than what we had before. She kept her word and never once brought up my father.

Winter’s family was more accepting of us being together than I imagined they would be and I was eternally grateful. Her family was important to her and having them supporting our relationship meant more to me than I could ever put into words.

Since we were traveling, she wasn’t able to commit to coaching figure skating back home, but whenever we were back in town, that was the first place she visited. She made it a point to volunteer any spare time she had when we were in Orchid City to helping little kids learn how to skate, how to perfect the art she had mastered.

We found a quaint little restaurant tucked in a hole-in-the-wall-looking place. We dined by candlelight and it was absolutely glorious. Winter lit up the entire room with her presence alone. I was captivated by her, caught in her web. I couldn’t stop staring at her, watching her every chance I got. The way she spoke, the way she breathed. She was the most alluring, ethereal being under the sun.

After dinner, we stepped back out onto the street and began our walk back to the hotel. It was already late and dark and the streets were practically vacant. Her hand fit perfectly in mine and I pulled her to a stop as I spun her around to face me.

“What’s wrong?” she questioned me with her bright green eyes searching mine.

A smile pulled on my lips. “Absolutely nothing. I just wanted to do this.”

Her lips parted and her eyebrows pinched together in confusion but I was already pulling her flush against my body. My hand slid around the back of her head, my fingers plunging into her hair as I angled her face up to mine. My lips crashed into hers in an instant.

Winter didn’t miss a beat, her movements matching mine as she clung onto me. I walked her backward, just into the small alley beside us before pushing her up against the stone wall. Her hands were fisting my shirt, her head tipping back even farther as she let me into her mouth. My tongue slid across hers, tasting the wine from our dinner.

She kissed me back with such an intensity, it felt like we were going to combust. I wanted to strip her bare and lift her up to fuck her against the wall.

“Jesus,” I breathed as I broke away from her. My heart clenched in my chest and I pressed my forehead against hers. “I’m so hopelessly in love with you, Winter Reign. You are my absolute weakness.”

“Why did you stop?” She pouted, her voice just as breathless as mine.

“Because if I didn’t stop, I would have ended up taking you right here up against this wall.”

Winter was quiet for a beat. “What if I told you I wanted to?”

I pulled back enough to look into her eyes. “Is that what you want, darling? You want me to fuck you right here where anyone could easily see us?”

“Yes,” she murmured. “That’s exactly what I want.”

Good God. My cock was already hard in my pants and all I needed was her to speak those words for me to throw any rational thought out the window. “As you wish, darling.” She had a dress on, which made this an absolutely perfect opportunity. “Lose the panties.”

She obeyed as I stepped back, just enough to give her room to slip them off. I took them from her and tucked the lace into my pocket. A mischievous grin played on her lips and her gaze dropped down to my hands as I undid the button and zipper to my dress pants.

I pulled my cock out and slid my hands under her thighs as I lifted her up. She was positioned just above me and I slowly lowered her onto my length. A moan escaped her as she took me completely.

“Jesus. You’re always so wet and ready for me.”

“Only for you,” she assured me as she wrapped her hands around the nape of my neck and brought her lips down to mine. “Only ever for you, Malakai.”

“Mine.”

She moaned into my mouth as I gripped her ass and began to pound into her. The stone wall had to have been digging into her back, but neither of us cared. The only thing that mattered was me being inside of her right now. I was lifting her up and down, her insides stroking my cock as she clenched around me.

Her fingers were digging into my shoulders as she clung to me. Our mouths melted into one another and I swallowed her moans as I kept thrusting in and out of her. Our surroundings had completely vanished. We were the only things that mattered in this world, in this universe.

A warmth built rapidly in my stomach, it spread through my body as my balls constricted. I was getting closer and closer and I could feel that she was too. She panted against my mouth and I slammed into her again with such force. Winter was a mess of moans, not caring if anyone could hear or see us as she lost herself around me.

Her pussy clenched me in a vise grip as her orgasm tore through her body. She shook and quivered under my touch and I thrust into her one last time before my own orgasm erupted. I spilled myself inside her, slowly thrusting in and out until she was filled to the hilt with my cum.
