Their gentle weight feels natural as if they were made for me. On closer inspection, I notice delicate engraving on the back of each earring—the initials A.R.

“Audrey Regis,” I read softly. Joyful tears spring to my eyes as I imagine the day I take Luca's last name. “Thank you, my love. I'll wear them proudly.”

He growls playfully. “Come here. It’s your turn to blush.”

Luca wraps his strong arms around me. His lips find mine, and he kisses me with exquisite tenderness.

His hands slide up my sides, the touch sending shivers across my skin. Luca’s fingertips blaze a trail down my body until he reaches the apex of my thighs.

I gasp, my breath quickening.

He skillfully brings me to the brink, then eases off. Blood is roaring in my veins. Wetness is pooling between my legs. I'm burning alive— I can't get enough.

“Need you,” I whisper against his chest.

He answers with a low growl. One hand tightly grips my waist while the other teases my sensitive flesh with precision-like strokes.

My head falls back. “Yes, oh, please.”

“I’ve got you, baby.”

Luca drives me higher and higher until I'm spinning in a freefall. My body quivers as a wave of bliss rolls over me.

Luca holds onto me tightly as I come down from the blissful high. He kisses me deeply before pulling away, a satisfied smirk teasing his lips.

“That was amazing!” I pant against his cheek.

I slide my hand over his erection, wanting to please him in return. He’s hard and ready, but he moves my hand away and then tenderly presses a kiss to my forehead.

“No, that was for you,” he whispers, his warm breath tickling my skin. “All for you.”

I trace the contours of his face, memorizing every angle and plane. He nuzzles into my touch, a contented hum reverberating through him.

“I love you,” he murmurs.

“I love you, too.” My voice catches.

His eyes are dark pools brimming with adoration. “You are mine.”

My heart fills with joy. “And you belong to me.”

When he tells me nothing will tear us apart, he does so without a trace of doubt in his tone. I believe him. Our destinies are intertwined until the end.

Epilogue

Luca

The scent of freshly brewed coffee pulls me from sleep. Audrey’s side of the bed lies empty, the sheets tangled. I was hoping she would’ve stayed in bed to celebrate our anniversary. She must have something special planned, but so do I.

I pad downstairs, following the rich aroma wafting from the kitchen. The smell of pancakes sizzling fills the air.

Audrey is standing at the stove, hair piled in a messy bun, spatula in hand. I lean against the door and drink her in.

After seven years of marriage, she's even more beautiful. Audrey glances up, meeting my gaze, and her face brightens into a radiant smile.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” she teases. “I was wondering when you'd get up.”

I come up behind her, nuzzling her neck. “It smells amazing in here. I better grab some of your famous pancakes before the hungry hordes eat everything.”
