Epilogue

Mia

One year later

The sunlight glinted off the selenite engagement ring on her finger next to her mother’s gold wedding band. She’d found her happily-ever-after after all. Once she’d told Andre about the meaning behind the selenite in connection to her mother, he understood why she wanted it in the foundation of her studio. That was something they’d worked on for the last twelve months—communication and building trust. And now she had something even bigger to communicate to her husband—something that would change them forever.

“Buenas tardes, hermosa.” Andre’s deep voice rumbled behind her.

She turned as he walked into the studio.

“Good afternoon to you too, husband.” She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. “Did you lock the front door behind you?”

“Yes. Are you ready to go home?”

Home.She’d never get tired of hearing that from the love of her life. “Not yet. I have something to do first.”

“Oh yeah?” His eyebrows rose as he smiled suggestively and lowered his hands to her ass. “How about we peel down these leggings and I make you come against that wall again?”

“Mmm. That sounds like a fantastic idea.”

He pulled her hand and led her over to the wall. Pushing her back to the surface, he pressed kisses around her face, ending on her lips. His hands moved the edges of her pants down her legs as he dropped to his knees.

“Dre?”

“Yeah, baby?” He licked his lips and dipped his fingers into the slick folds of her pussy. The bolt of electricity shocked her core as it always did when he touched her.

If he only knew how fitting his words were.

“I hope you lied to me that day you professed your love and asked me to marry you.”

He stopped, withdrawing his hands and standing to his feet. “What?”

“You said you only had room in your heart for me.”

“Yeah . . .” he said, his attention locked on her.

“I hope you have room for someone else too.” She bit back a smile.

“What are you talking about?”

She placed his hand over her belly. “I’m pregnant, Andre.”

The stunned look only lasted a minute before the biggest grin she’d ever seen graced his face. “We’re gonna have a baby? I’m going to be a dad?”

She nodded, her own joy uncontainable. She’d never imagined she’d be secure enough in life to have this.

He kissed her hard. “We’re having a baby!”

She laughed. Her heart was so full of light and love. There, under the splatter of color from the sea glass window, she had a child growing in her womb and her husband by her side with nothing but pure love shining from him.

The sadness for her parents’ absence would always be there. Some days were easier than others. But Mia would make sure her mother’s spirit would live on through her, and now her child.

“I think we should celebrate,” Andre said, dropping to his knees again.

“With orgasms?” she asked, as his skilled fingers dove inside her, finding her G-spot.

“All the orgasms,” he agreed before lowering his face to her, and true to his word, he delivered several orgasms until she saw nothing but the rainbow of colors blurring her vision.

Somehow the broken, jagged pieces of her heart had been smoothed and strengthened over time like sea glass, until all that was left was the beauty and joy. She’d always carry her trauma with her, but she’d learned how to live her life without it defining her.

“I love you, Mia.”

“I love you too.” Forever.
