“I know,” I whisper as his lips travel up my neck and back to my lips. “Because you promised me infinity, Dax Silver. And I intend to make you good on your promise.”
He chuckles and kisses me while the sun continues to rise around us. “You promised me every sunrise.”
“What do you think this is?” I breathe, still catching my breath as calmness paints itself through my body as the sky lights up.
Dax kisses me again, then turns his face to the horizon. “Do I get tomorrows?”
His brows pull low over his eyes as he looks back at me.
The view might be breathtaking. But it’s not a patch on the beautiful man holding me in his arms and looking at me like I’m the most precious thing in his world.
Not a damn patch.
“You get them all.” I lift a hand to his face, and he kisses my inner wrist. “Every single one. They could only ever be yours. Do you remember me telling you love was a chemical?”
“Dopamine?” He cocks a brow, a smile pulling up his lips.
“I was wrong. It’s you.”
He stays inside me and places both elbows on either side of my head so he can stroke my face with both hands.
“It’s you for me too. It always was.”
His eyes shine as he rises onto his arms, moving back enough for me to see his chest. And I stare at his compass tattoo. Because where there used to be one arm pointing west for the sunset, a memory of his parents, now there is another.
I trace my fingertip over his hot skin. Over the new dark ink on it, and all the way to the end of the rose stem where the petals bloom around theEfor east.
“When?”
His heart beats out a steady rhythm beneath my palm as I lay it over his chest.
“The day you left. I couldn’t go a day without having you close.”
I roll my lips, my chest burning with emotion as my eyes threaten to make more tears.
“I think I’d like it really slow and gentle now,” I whisper.
Dax’s eyes soften as he kisses me. “Anything you want, Sunbeam.”
Then he wraps his arms around me and makes love to me, wiping the tears from my cheeks and gripping me tight as I come for him again and again.
Until I lose all sense of time.
Chapter 44
Dax
Epilogue - Sunrise number one hundred and eighty-four
“Thisisevenbetterthan last time.”
Rose bounces up on her toes, leaning over the side of the basket. I abandon the burner and slip an arm around her waist from behind, pulling her back against my chest.
“You’re going to kill me, Sunbeam. Step away from the edge.”
She laughs and spins in my arms, snaking hers around my neck. “You weren’t this bossy last time.”
“Last time I was holding you the entire time and not trying to pilot this beast by myself.” I reach out to the burner and adjust it, keeping her firmly in my grip with my other arm.
