“I am. I think so.” I swallow hard. “Is this crazy?”

Gina nods and grins at me. “Yes, but too much sanity’ll kill a girl.”

The cab driver finishes loading the trunk and shuts the overhead door.

“I guess this is it.” My stomach flutters.

“Yup.”

“I’ll see you in four months for the wedding.”

“Yes, you will. Now, get going. You don’t want to miss your flight and keep that man of yours waiting even longer.” Her voice cracks and we both tear up and hug each other hard.

As the cab pulls away, tears run down my cheeks. Other than Gina, I won’t have much to miss, but I really will miss her. And if I’m honest, I’m scared that Ben won’t feel the same way about me once I get there. Maybe when he sees me, he’ll realize I’m not that special and that he doesn’t want me anymore. The thought makes my stomach churn.

A ping on my phone interrupts my worrying. I take it out of my coat pocket and see a text from Ben.

Counting down the hours. I can hardly sit still.

I text him back. Just in the cab on the way to the airport. If you’re planning on changing your mind, now’s the time to do it.

Him: Never. Just get your sweet ass down here so I can show you how much I missed you.

By the time the cab pulls up at the airport, I have a lot more spring in my step. The thought of Ben showing me how much he missed me keeps me smiling through check-in, the security line-up, waiting at the gate, and the long flight. While everyone else sleeps, I stare out the window, unable to calm down. I’m starting my new life today. With a doctor. A hot one. Who reads to me and sails a boat and loves me for me.

Just before the plane lands, I go to the washroom and get cleaned up a bit. I brush my teeth and

put on some makeup and brush my hair. I want to be perfect when I see him.

My heart pounds in my chest as I walk down the steps from the airplane and onto the tarmac. I look around at the waiting crowd, then see him. Dropping my bags, I run to Ben, and he hurries to me at the same time, swooping me up in the air and kissing me as he spins us in circles. It’s a movie-worthy kiss. One that we’ll both remember forever. One that is going to lead to something so much more. All my doubts are washed away by his kiss and by the way he holds me. When he puts me down, the look on his face says it all. Forever.

Ben

I hardly manage to drive back to the house without pulling over. We hold hands and I kiss her knuckles, then I reach down and run my hand up her thigh while I speed down the road, the urgency building inside me. When we get in the house, we frantically strip down as soon as the front door swings shut behind us. I lift Lila by her ass and push her up against the wall, thrusting myself inside her in one long, hard thrust. She soaks my hard cock as I pump myself into her over and over again. Her big, beautiful breasts bounce and rub against my chest as we move together. She squeezes my thick cock with her muscles, and she’s so tight, it’s incredible.

I kiss her neck and suck on her earlobe, hoping to drive her wild and stay in control at the same time. I whisper in her ear, “I love you, Lila. Don’t ever leave again.”

“I love you, too. I won’t ever leave.”

Thrusting myself into her harder now, again and again, I wait for her to come undone. When she does, it’s with ragged breath and a raspy voice calling my name. Her entire body seems to squeeze me now, pulsing around me as she comes. I let go with her and push her up against the wall while I come in waves of pleasure.

When it’s over, I carry her to my bed, getting ready for round two. I lay her on the bed, then run my hands all over her skin, relieved to be able to touch her again after so long. “I hope you ate on the plane because this is going to take all night.”

She grins at me. “I had a protein bar before we landed.”

It only takes me a few minutes of touching her and staring at her for me to get hard again. I cover her body with mine, then glide my way inside her. Flipping us over, I lay on my back and watch her as she rides me, her hips grinding into my lap, her hands moving from my chest to her sides, then up into her hair. She looks so carefree and wild, and she feels fucking amazing.

And so this night becomes the first of our new life together, as my home becomes hers, as we prove to each other how strong our love is again and again. And it’s just like I told her it would be. We’ll be doing this for the next seventy years or so. Lila and me. Together forever.

Epilogue

Lila – Five Years Later

“Okay, I’m out of here!” I call to my very nice boss, Kelley, at the newspaper. I work three mornings a week, on days when Ben is off work so he can be home with our boys. We have two little sweethearts: Josh, who is the most methodical three-year-old I’ve ever seen, and his little brother, Sean, our little hell-raiser who will turn two this Saturday.

I grin as I step out into the sun and unlock my bicycle. I have the best commute ever—a wide, paved path that runs along the beach from town all the way to our house on the sea. And when I get home, I have the best place to live ever—right on the beach where we can watch our kids play in the surf. And when we get those kids to bed, I have the best husband ever—who makes love to me all night and keeps me laughing and smiling.
