Pausing again, I run a hand through my hair, closing my eyes briefly. “It was meant to be you, Dani. Always. You were meant to raise my son, and you were meant to be mine.”

Her breath hitches as I get off the couch and drop to my knees in front of her, clasping her hands in mine. “Dani, I may have learned a lot of things over the past few days—things about my mom, things about myself, things about life. But one thing I didn’t just learn, something I’ve known for a really long time, is the way I feel about you. Since the moment we kissed, and maybe even before then, you haveownedme.”

She gasps and quickly tries to cover her mouth, but I hold her hand tightly, giving it a squeeze. “I’ve never wanted a relationship, never sought them out, and always played it safe. But you…you fucked with my mind, body, and soul. I thought about you often after we first met, and when I found you again, you never left my head. When I’m around you or even hear your name, my heart beats stronger for you, reminding me that it’s there, and that I should be letting itfeelthings. That it thrives on love. And mysoul…God, Dani, I’ve never been more drawn to someone in my life, never felt a connection this strong. It’s like you were made for me, only I’m younger, so maybe I was made for you. Either way, we are meant to be.”

Dani subtly rests her hand to her heart again, as a soft smile plays at her lips. She’s about to say something when I continue, cutting her off.

“In short, what I’m trying to say is that you are it for me. The one I want to spend my days with, wake up next to, talk to at random times. I want to sing with you, paint music, be whoever we want to be, maybe even role play.” I wink after the last one and bounce my eyebrows as she lets out a nervous laugh. “But most importantly, I just want to be Dani and Logan. I want there tobe aDani and Logan. I don’t want to continue on this path where our lives go in separate directions.”

I stop and take a deep breath, because I now have to give her the choice. I need to let her know that she doesn’t have to choose me to keep Liam in her life. She’ll have him either way. Squeezing her hands tightly, I sigh. “But—”

“Wait,” she quickly interjects, sliding off the couch and dropping into my lap. “Before you say the ‘but,’I need to tell you. From the very bottom ofmysoul, I know you’re the one for me too. I’m completely in love with you.”

My heart jolts as a thrill runs through me. I open my mouth to respond but she continues, her eyes full of the love she just mentioned.

“All my life I’ve been responsible, done what I thought was right or what others expected of me, and then you came along and turned everything on its axis.” I smile but don’t say anything, sensing she has more to say. “And while it scared the hell out of me, I liked it. Because I have never felt more myself than I do with you. It was because of you that I felt confident enough to care for Liam, even though it wasn’t what you wanted. I’m sorry for the mess our life has become, but I don’t want to go in different directions either. I want to work this out. Can we work this out?”

I hold her gaze as I process everything she just said, my pulse running on overdrive. She loves me; she feels the same. We are invincible. “There’s nothing to work out. If you want me, I’m yours.”Plain and simple.

Dani nods, and a look of absolute certainty takes over. “I want you.”

My hands are in her hair before she’s even settled, and my mouth finds hers, taking her in a deep kiss. “I love you so fucking much, Dani,” I groan out against her lips. “Being without you has been torture, and I never want that feeling again.”

Dani breaks our kiss and grabs my face in her hands. “We’re really going to be okay? We can get past all of this?” Her eyes ping-pong between mine, needing that final confirmation.

“I promise you, I’m ready for whatever life throws at us. I’m never letting you go again.”

Without another word, she lifts her tank over her head, revealing a pale pink lace bra before helping me out of my tee. She places her hand over my heart and stares at the connection, so I copy the motion, feeling her chest rise and fall rapidly beneath my palm as her heart rate increases.

“How does it feel?” I ask quietly when she doesn’t pull away.

“A little fast but otherwise perfect. How about mine? How does my heart feel?” she asks, her eyes lifting to my face.

“It feels like it’smine,” I say honestly. “And that’s the best feeling in the world.”

I’m not sure who moves first, but in the next breath, we’re kissing again, and it’s frantic and messy and perfect. Lifting Dani off my lap, I move to my knees and pull her back into my arms, lifting us both to standing without breaking our connection.

We slowly undress between kisses, hands exploring each other’s bodies as we go, until we’re both naked, and I’m sheathed.

Spinning Dani around so her back is to my chest, I sit down on the couch before guiding her onto my length, biting back a groan at the feel of being inside her again. Her breath hitches as I fill her, and my cock throbs in her warmth. She feels like heaven, and I want to savor every minute we’re together, but right now, I can’t.

Spreading her legs wide, I run my hand up her thigh toward her core, loving the way her skin pebbles with goose bumps wherever my fingers touch. When I move back down, Dani slams her hand on top of mine and glides it where she needs it, keeping me in place until I rub circles over her sweet spot, as she moan out my name. “Logan.”

Wrapping my other arm around her body, I skim my fingers up her chest, brushing them lightly over her breasts until my hand settles at her neck, my fingers cupping under her jaw. I stay like that for a second until I can’t hold back anymore. I need to kiss her. Turning her face toward mine, I suck her bottom lip into my mouth and bite down gently before soothing it with a kiss. She jolts in surprise and squeezes my cock with her walls, shooting a spark straight to my nerve endings, setting me on fire. “Jesus Christ!” That feels fucking amazing.Note to self—she obviously likes biting.I groan just thinking about the possibilities and buck up into her, enjoying the sound of her pleasured cries.

When it becomes too much for her, Dani breaks from our kiss, dropping her head onto my shoulder, making her chest rise as she does. It’s then that I notice the hint of our reflection in the TV, andfuck me.I almost come on the spot just looking at the sight of her.

“I need you to face forward,” I huff out. “Fuck, Dani! Look at how perfect you are.”

Dani’s head lifts slowly, and I know the second she sees what I mean because she gasps and looks away shyly.

“Come on, watch with me. Watch as we both come apart.”

Her breath hitches, but she does as I say, her eyes meeting mine in the reflection. My cock twitches, and I increase our speed, pumping into her as my fingers continue their ministrations. Her walls start to tighten again, and she cries out as I grunt, the feeling of heralmosttoo much to handle.

“I can’t…I’m…Oh, God,” she screams out as she flies over the edge, and after a few more pumps, I follow after her, groaning her name as I come.

“Fuck, you’re amazing,” I say breathlessly before pressing a kiss to her shoulder.
