She swished her lips back and forth. “I don’t know. You don’t even have a ring, and I know you didn’t ask my dad.”
“Nothing about us is conventional.”
She smiled, lifting her head and kissing him. “And I hope it never is.”
“Marry me.” He swiped the head of his cock against her folds, and her teeth slid over her lip, her body bowing into his.
“You drive a hard bargain.”
He tweaked her nipple, and she pushed down, trying to take what she wanted, but he needed an answer first.
“I could be driving into you, if you just tell me if you’ll marry me.”
She cupped his cheek, running her thumb across his stubble. Every shitty thing that had happened in his life dissipated, and all that remained was the happiness that Allison brought him. He could die now and he would consider himself blessed.
“Of course, I’ll marry you.”
She lifted to kiss him, but he thrust into her, her cries causing her head to fall against his neck. He found a steady pace and lifted her face to his. She held his gaze as he pumped in and out of her, thanking the universe for giving him the ability to endure the heartache, turmoil, and downright shitshow that was his world for so long.
His life was far from a fairytale, but somehow, despite it all, he found his happily ever after.

“Oh my god,” Allison said on a gasp.
“What is it?” Reid’s heart stopped, his head snapping at her. She held her phone, mouth agape. “What?”
She turned her head slowly, eyes meeting his wide with… he wasn’t exactly sure.
“It’s Louie. He’s dead. They found his body a few hours ago.”
Reid sat up, Allison moving with him. Louie wasn’t a good person by any means, and some would say he deserved to die, but for Reid, it was more than a death; it was a liberation. His biggest threat was gone. He grabbed Allison’s phone and read the article.
It was almost too good to be true. After all this time, all this fear, and Louie was no longer a threat. He’d been the last of the old school world. Did that mean… was Reid finally free?
He reached over and grabbed his cell, calling Angel. Angel answered on the second ring. “You heard the news?”
“Is it true? They didn’t fake his death and put him in witness protection or some bullshit like that?”
“He’s dead.” Silence spread over the line, both aware of how monumental this moment was. “No more hiding. It’s official.”
“How can I be sure? There might be someone else.”
“From what I hear, there’s a new generation emerging. They don’t give a shit about the past. They’re ready to move on and do things their own way. They are the ones to worry about now, and you have no ties to them. If anything, what you did benefitted them. No one's coming for you, Connor.”
Connor. It had been so long since he heard that name, but that identity, that wasn’t who he was anymore. He would come out of hiding, but he would forever be Reid.
“What are you going to do now?” Angel asked.
Reid looked at Allison and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I’m getting married, starting a family.”
Allison’s eyes widened, and she sucked in an adorable breath.
“Oh, and Angel. Save this number. No more burners.”
“I expect a visit from your ass soon.”
“You got it. Talk soon.”
