I take a sweet nipple into my mouth. “How many kids do you want?”

“At least three,” she moans, her head falling back.

“Pets?”

“Uh-huh.” I know the end is near by her grip on my shoulders. “Long or short engagement?”

“Short.”

“Austin or New York?”

"Austin." Her eyes drop to mine, and they fill with tears.

"Really, Max?"

“Really love.” I watch ecstasy dance across her face before I cradle her to my heart.

"I'm staying here until you're ready to move back." Her eyes struggle to remain open then she's out, and I'm in heaven, certain that loving her is what I was born to do.

Epilogue

Six months later…

I can’t believe this is our house. I kick the boxes aside. The house where we first reconnected is now our first home together.

“Parker, the bus is pulling up.”

I run to the door. I open it wide, “Are y’all ready to party?”

"Lies…all lies. I can see the boxes over your shoulder." Charlee says, leaning in for a sideways hug. "Check out Ryann's date."

I glance over her shoulder. I hug all the guys until Ryann brings up the rear. “I’d like to introduce you to Xavier.”

“Nice to meet you.” I shake his hand.

“Same to you.”

Max calls the men inside. The guys stand around, waiting for Ryann to explain. I look at Charlee ready for her to make a dive in on this one and apparently, I’m not the only one, as we steal quick glances her way.

“What?” Ryann laughs. “He’s a guy I met a few weeks ago.”

“How old is he?”

“Old enough.”

“Old enough to do what, buy a damn drink?” Charlee rests a hand on her lower back. We laugh.

“Old enough for me to enjoy and that’s all you need to know. Nosey.”

She sashays inside, and I share a shrug with Harper.

“Go on then Stella. Get your groove on.” Charlee’s fake Jamaican accent is awful, and we all laugh heading into the house.

We stop in the living room, and I see Max across the room. He mouths, Love you. I blow a kiss.

“Girl stop staring into space and come help. You know I’m allergic to boxes.” Charlee yells.

Yeah, I'm a special woman with a beautiful life. I can't believe how much my life has changed. I work from home most days, and Platinum Prestige is skyrocketing.
