I open my arms and wait. I’m still not very stable, so I lean against the tile and close my eyes. “I still love you, Gracie,” I whisper, and she gasps. “I freaked out on Saturday because I shouldn’t.”

“Ow,” Gracie screams and then falls into my arms. She starts shaking again, and her eyes roll. I know she’s having a flashback, but this one looks worse than the last. I quickly rinse the soap off of her, then scoop her into my arms and very wobbly carry her to my bed.

We are both drenched, so I wrap my body around her, then my comforter as tight as I can. She’s gasping and whimpering my name, and I pray this isn’t another memory about our engagement. I don’t think I could take that again.

One of the best days of my life, she doesn’t recall. I rock her in my arms and murmur things into her neck. She’s warming up now and starting to settle.

“I remember you, Ash. I remember everything about us,” she says with a watery smile and looks into my eyes. My heart races, and I don’t know what to say. I mean, that's great, but everything is different now, so what does it matter?

“I remember all the nights we spent together. I remember our first date at the farm…” She trails off and scrunches her nose. “I don’t ever want to go back there again,” she whispers, and now I’m the one confused.

“Why? You always loved going apple picking.” She starts to shiver again, and I place a kiss on her head.

“Bianca knocked me out, then threw me in her trunk.” I move some of her wet hair aside, and sure enough, her temple has a nasty bruise.

“She’s dead,” I growl, and Gracie laughs bitterly.

“That’s not even the worst part. She took me to that farm and had some weirdo perv named Daniel throw me in a pig pen in my underwear. I had to walk all the way here like that.”

Now I’m the one shaking. Those girls are going to be buried as soon as Gracie stops shivering and the room stops spinning.

“I’m so sorry, Gracie. I never…” I shake my head and sigh. “No, that’s a lie. In one of my drunken rambles, I talked about ruining our happy place. It was just talk. I was never going to do it,” I groan, and she inches closer.

“You said you still love me?”

I nod, and she whispers, “I love you too, Ash… Forever and on…” she’s still talking, but hearing those words from her lips with her pressed up against me is like all my dreams come true. I smash my lips to hers and swallow her whimpers.

I don’t pull away, and I don’t let her breathe. I never want to be apart from her again. I don’t care about the past. We will deal with that when it comes time, and I’ll share her with fifty men if it means I get to have her too.

“Three,” I mumble against her lips, and she pulls back, looking at me. “I will share you with three others, but no more.” She smirks and rolls me over until she’s on my lap, wrapped in the comforter burrito. I laugh as she gets her leg stuck, and she pouts.

“This is so not sexy,” she moans as I bend down and bite her nipple, sucking it the way I know she’s always loved.

“Ash,” she whimpers and grinds against me. My cock is begging to be inside her, but I’ll let her take control… just this once.

“Use me, Doll. I’m yours,” I say against her breath, and she grabs my hair tight, pulling my lips back to hers as she reaches down with her other hand and positions me. I thrust gently as my piercings slide inside her heat.

Gracie releases my lips and tosses her head back, moaning. I love how she’s always so wild and free. She doesn’t care who hears her when she’s in the moment. I kick the blanket around us until we have some more room, and Gracie laughs as she starts to ride me like the queen she’s always been.

Our queen. My head is starting to clear from the vodka, and I’m thankful because I don’t want to miss a moment of this. “I’m yours, Ash,” she whispers, bending down to kiss me again, digging her nails into my chest right where her tattoo lies.

“I’ll always be yours.” I grip her hips and bend my knees, planting them on the mattress so I can fuck up into her hard and fast.

“Hold on, Doll,” I warn before reaching down and flicking her clit as I increase my speed. Gracie bounces hard on top of me, and I bite my lip.

“Come, baby,” I growl and pinch her nub. That does it. Gracie showers me, and I laugh as she falls onto my chest.

I wrap my arms around her tight and sigh. I haven't felt this in a long time, not since the last time we were together. It's as if her lips resuscitated my cold dead heart. And her words started to heal my soul.

Closing my eyes for a minute to catch my breath, I start to drift off. Finally feeling satisfied and content.

“I remember you, Ash, and I’ll love you forever and on.”

I grin, but I know deep down that one day she’ll truly hate me. It’s inevitable.

ChapterThirty

When I wake up, I feel warm and extremely rested. Just like all the nights the guys slept with me, I didn’t have a nightmare. Oh shit, the guys! They have to be going crazy.
