I am overwhelmed, but in the best way.
I’m downright thrilled.
I couldn’t have possibly imagined how drastically the dynamic of my dad’s family shifted when the bargain was changed, but now I know what it looks like.
Dad’s not an only child. I’ve got uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Life here is so full. This is the way the farm was always meant to be, and I realize the future is brighter than I knew.
People say everything happens for a reason. Until Ellister, I wasn’t sure if fate was a real thing. And even after I learned about soul mates and realized destiny was directing us, I didn’t know if the force was friendly or cruel.
It’s friendly, definitely. Because I couldn’t have ended up in a better place.
“Let me show you to your cabin.” As Dad fumbles with his ginormous keyring, he asks my mom, “Is number one open?”
“I believe so.”
That’s my house, and I take that as a little nudge from this universe that we do, in fact, belong here.
HANNAH
Three days. That’s all it’s taken for Ellister and me to fit seamlessly into this world. A world where we’ve carved out a place for ourselves with shoveling, pruning trees, and sweat.
With each hour that passes, with every task we complete, this universe feels more like… ours.
Best of all, I’m healthy and strong.
For the first time in our tumultuous relationship, Ellister and I can touch as much as we want without fear of consequences.
Every chance we get, we’re attached to each other in some way. We shower together. The nights are filled with sleep, sex, and snuggling. I’ve discovered Ellister is the worst cook ever. I mean, the guy can barely boil water without some kind of mishap. I guess that’s what happens when someone spends hundreds of thousands of years in the Lost Land. I’ve been trying to teach him small things, like scrambling an egg, but he seems to use our lessons as a way to seduce me instead.
Like this morning. He picked me up, set me on the counter, and licked my pussy until I came. We burned breakfast, but I couldn’t complain.
It’s all very… normal and wonderful.
Our butts bump as we both bend over to shovel some horse crap at the same time.
“You’re in my way,” Ellister comments playfully.
“I’m helping.”
“You’re distracting me.”
“Don’t act like you don’t like it.”
“Oh, I like it.” Setting our shovels against the wooden partition, he backs me up until I’m cornered by him. “I think you should finish up early every day just so you can help me with this task.”
I mock gasp. “Trying to get me to do your work for you?”
“No. I just want to be able to do this.” His lips fuse with mine, and my heart hammers when he breaks away to kiss along my jaw.
Despite the fact that I’m totally gross from working the entire day, he nips at my skin like I’m a tasty snack. When his teeth graze my neck, I gasp, but I know he won’t bite me.
He filed his teeth down the first night we were here. He said he didn’t want to take the chance that one of his caps would fall off. Plus, making the change permanent would lessen his temptation to feed.
Ellister desperately wants to be human. He doesn’t want to do anything that might get in the way of his goal to be mortal and letting go of blood sharing is one way to distance himself from his old life.
Growing old together is more important. He wants to age with me, get gray hairs and wrinkles, and feel his body weaken with mine.
