Her words kicked him in the spine and had him driving into her, his skin slapping against hers, his arousal as tight as a corkscrew. “You’re mine, always,” he gritted out.
“And you’re mine,” she replied.
The sentiment blew Caden apart into a million pieces and reassembled him as a new man. A man who would never have to walk alone again. The orgasm went on and on until Caden got light-headed and his body shuddered. And then he settled his weight atop Makenna and embraced her in a whole-body hug. “Never gonna let you go.”
“Good,” she said, stroking his back. “Wouldn’t let you if you tried.”
“I still love that elevator, Makenna,” he said, pressing a kiss to the racing pulse in her neck.
She laughed. “I still love that elevator, too.”
They lay there like that until they eventually fell asleep. And then they found one another again and again and again. All night long.
And though their story started as two separate hearts in the darkness, their forever would be fully in the light. Well, Caden wasn’t so different of a man that he didn’t know the darkness would sometimes return. No one was intended to die with their hearts still intact. But whatever came at them, they’d get through it together.
He pressed a light kiss to Makenna’s forehead, not wanting to wake her. “You and me, ‘til the end. In the darkness and in the light.”
Her eyes opened and her whole face immediately filled with a smile. “Did you say something?”
Caden grinned and shook his head. “Just that I love you.”
