She softly kisses me back. “And you are mine.”
EPILOGUE
Phantom-ONE YEAR LATER
We got ourselves a place at the countryside. It was easier that way. Easier for Skyla that is and I personally don’t mind going into the city for work. In the city, Skyla couldn’t walk around as freely but around here she can.
We’re never seen out in public together and to make sure that Skyla wouldn’t get lonesome, I asked the boss to introduce her to the other mob wives. They welcomed her with open arms even though they don’t know she’s mine.
They just know she’s the wife of a certain mobster and that’s all the information they get.
Boss was worried Skyla might slip and say something about me but my angel isn’t reckless. She protects me through and through, the same way I protect her. Besides, she doesn’t socialize with the wives that often.
She prefers sticking to me.
I’m her whole world.
And she’s mine.
Without Skyla, something was always missing, something wasn’t quite right. I had phantom sensations, the feeling of a heart in my chest that wasn’t quite there. But it was there all along. It just needed her.
Brushing my hair off my face, I stroke the wood with my hands. This isn’t looking so bad after all, even though I wouldn’t consider myself a carpenter. I rub sandpaper over it one more time and then I take a step back.
Good enough.
Looking out the window, I search for Skyla and she’s busy trying to befriend a chipmunk that keeps hanging around. It’s wary of her at first, looking at her with its big eyes and she lowers to the ground. The chipmunk hesitates before slowly walking closer and before I know it, it’s in her lap.
Fuck me. The girl’s nothing but goodness. Even the damn animal can sense it.
I let her have her moment with it before calling her over, “Skyla, can you come here for a sec?”
A smile flashes her face and she brushes off her dress, before running inside. “You summoned me,” she breathes before jumping into my arms and wrapping her legs around me. “For another lovemaking session, I presume?” she purrs and I run hot enough to burst into flames.
“Angel...,” I groan because she never ceases to please me. “I’ll have you soon but first I want to show you something.”
“Is it big and long and thick and mighty...,” she moans, toying with my belt and my eyes roll back in my head. I lucked out so hard with her. Not a moment with her goes wasted. I save everyone, little mementos of her that I play up in my head whenever we’re apart.
Grinning, I shake my head and give her butt a squeeze to get her to focus. Pulling at the sheet, I drop it to the ground and stroke Skyla over her hair. “This is what I wanted to show you.”
“Oh...,” she breathes, “it’s um....a crib.”
Frowning, I look at her and her eyes are mild with something maternal but she still seems hesitant and then a scowl forms.
“What is it? We can buy one if you don’t like it.”
“I like it, Phantom,” she whispers before shaking her head. “I just want us to wait a little while.” The frown increases as if she’s really worried about this. “I want it to be just you and me. I don’t want to share you.”
“You’ll never truly share me. You’re always number one,” I groan as my heartbeat picks up. I misjudged her. I thought she wanted a kid but apparently she’s satisfied as it is. And I couldn’t be happier.
“We’ll get babies later,” she smiles. “And then only boys.” Her eyes sparkle with glee. “I want to be the only girl in your life.”
“You got it, baby.” I slide my hand up her back, stroking that very special scar and press my lips against my one and only.
