She smashes her mouth to mine and within a second, I’m rock hard beneath her. She grinds down against me, drawing a groan of approval from me. I grip her waist and force her down onto me so I can—
“Eww.” I practically throw her off me and jump to my feet as I face Dawson, who stands in the doorway with a disgusted look on his face. Alexa is too busy laughing her ass off to worry that we could have scared the shit out of our nephew. I turn and glare down at her.
“We are so not having kids for at least ten years.” We both break out into uncontrollable laughter at my words. I fucking love my life and my wife, she is my Hail Mary pass I never fumbled.

A year later
Christmas used to be a time of year I didn’t much care for but now, I look forward to it each year because it means we all come together as a family at our cabin. No matter what life throws at us, we always make it to the cabin every single year without fail and celebrate Christmas and the New Year together. Now that we have Dawson, Adalyn and Alister, Christmas is just that much more special because we get to wake up and see the wonder on their faces when they see all the gifts beneath the tree.
“When?” I snap my gaze to the side to see Leah and Darius standing there, the angry look in Leah’s eyes tells me she is pissed.
“Why do you have to have a ring? I tell you every fucking day I love you, what the hell does a ring mean compared to the words?” She throws her hands up in the air in frustration, Darius still hasn’t popped the question and Leah is getting tired of waiting for him to man up and ask her to marry him.
“Don’t you want to be with me… forever?” The water tone of her voice tells me she is close to tears. I take a step forward out of the kitchen only for a hand to grip my arm. I turn to see my own wife standing there with a stern look on her face.
“You can’t fix this one for her,” she says quietly. My shoulders droop, knowing she’s right but still wanting to be there for her. Leah is one of my best friends and I’m so grateful my wife understands that is all that is between us and nothing more.
“He’s an idiot,” I mumble. Val smiles lovingly up at me.
“He is,” she says with an eye roll and I chuckle. “But, it’s still his relationship, not yours. You need to let them sort this one out, big man.” I nod my agreement. I know she’s right, it’s just hard to watch Leah every year wait for Darius to finally pop the question only for the New Year to roll around and still have no ring. A sob coming from Leah draws my attention as she races toward the stairs. Val sighs and pats me on the chest. “I’ll go check on her,” she says, but before she can move past me, I snap my arm out and grip the back of her neck, yanking her back to me.
“Where the fuck do you think you’re going, Valance?” I growl as a shiver works its way through her body at my words. She peers up at me through her long lashes, her breaths coming in short rapid pants.
“I-I was just…” My lips are on hers cutting off her rambling. Even after all these years my hunger for her never lessens. Val is my everything, my soulmate in every sense of the word. I would be nothing without her, which is why every morning I leave for work, I make sure to tell her how much I love her and show it with my actions. Like getting up two hours earlier than her to clean the house, sort everything for Dawson for the day and get him up and ready for school, so all she has to do is worry about getting herself set for the day.
Breaking the kiss, I rest my forehead against hers and stare into her eyes as I say, “I love you, Val, more than anything. You will always be it for me, in this life and the next. It’s always been you for me.” Tears cloud her eyes as she stares up at me.
“I love you too, more than you will ever know, big man. I’m always gonna be here, till death do us part, remember?” I smile, loving the sound of that. As I release her and slap her ass, she sashays away. Every day she reminds me we’re forever and endgame no matter what.
“How the fuck do you do it?” I turn to see Darius leaning against the breakfast counter looking annoyed.
“Do what?”
“That,” he says, motioning toward Val’s retreating frame.
“Easy,” I say with a shrug. “I love her and would do anything to make her happy. No matter how scared it makes me, I would do it because I would know that at the end of the day it would bring a smile to her face.”
He scoffs and rolls his eyes. “Dude, I bought Leah her dream house on the beach. She wanted to dance again so I go to all her shows and cheer her on. I come home every night and I’m there every morning she wakes up. What the fuck more does she want?” I can hear the frustration in his tone and I want to slap him, he’s a fucking idiot.
“Darius, she loves you and always has since she was like fourteen. You are the happy ending she has always wanted. If you two don’t work out, she will base all her future relationships onyou. Every guy that comes into her life and loves her, she will base onyou. You are the example she will use for the rest of her life. She will compare every person she loves to you because she will never love anyone as much as she loves you. If you meet someone else and have a daughter, you will never see her face in that child no matter how much you wish you could. Can you live the rest of your life without her? Can you risk her growing tired of waiting for you to finally make her Leah Lockhart?”
His eyes darken as he stares at me with an angry glint in his eyes. “I’ll kill any cunt who tries to take her from me. Leah is mine!” he snarls. I smirk and cross my arms over my chest.
“Hm, maybe you might want to go put a ring on that shit then, before she finds herself a newhalfback.”
“Go fuck yourself,Becky,” he snaps.
“Nah, man, mywifefucks beautifully every single night after we put our son to bed. My cock is taken care of so don’t you worry. Can you say the same about yours though?” His eyes narrow to slits.
“What Val sees in you I’ll never know,” he grumbles just as Val enters the kitchen again.
“I see my happiness. I see my world, I see the love of my life and my Endgame.” Fuck yeah. I don’t use words, instead I grab my wife and fling her over my shoulder caveman-style and head for the stairs, because we are out of earshot, I call back to Darius.
“Be a good uncle and watch your nephew while I go make him a sister.”
Darius
