“You needed me,” I said, kissing the top of her head. “We made a deal years ago. I wasn’t about to break it now.” She tipped her head back to look at me. “You call. I come. And vice versa.”
I stroked her hair. Damn, it was good to see her. Reese was my girl in every sense of the word—minus the sex. She was the one I shared everything with and who I trusted with my deepest secrets. My best friend and my favorite person.
She smelled like violet and amber. It had always been my favorite scent. Reese Murphy had always smelled like home.
“Oh, is this where I need to listen to my woman? Are you going to boss me around now?” He stood up and tossed me onto the bed before climbing on top of me and hovering above me. “You sure you can handle me, Miney?”
The girl was always prepared with mints and lip gloss and sunscreen. I shouldn’t be surprised. But I didn’t know she would taste so good.
“You didn’t want to tarnish our future with orgasms?” I hissed.
When we were kids, we were allowed to stay out until the sun went down. We lived three houses away from one another our entire lives, and we’d spend every last second outside.
“You don’t get to speak to her. You don’t even get to fucking look at her. Do you hear me?”
“I haven’t been hiding. I’m just not used to doing—this.” I shrugged. “This? Me looking at you like you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen? Neither have I, Reese. This is just for you.”
“You’re not going to come just yet, so stop trying.” “Why?” I hissed, reaching around to grab his ass as I tried to tug him down toward me. He pulled back and looked at me. “Because the first time you come tonight will be on my lips.”
“Let’s take some home so I can cover your tits with icing and take my time cleaning you up,” he whispered close to my ear again.
“What was that about? Where’s the fire?” I said over my laughter. “The fire? It’s in my fucking pants, Miney. I need to be inside you right now. I can’t wait one more minute. And if you keep looking over at me with those gorgeous green eyes, I’ll pull this truck over and fuck you right here in the cab. Give the whole town something to talk about.”
“When we’re in this bedroom together, or anywhere that our clothes are off, I don’t want to hear a fucking word about your future husband. You won’t talk about another man when I’m inside you, and you sure as shit won’t be thinking about him.”
More than a friend. More than a lover. Reese Murphy was… everything.
“Nothing has ever felt better,” he hissed. “I love you so fucking much.” “I love you, too.”
Finn gripped my hips hard. Thrusting one more time. And that was all it took. He followed me into oblivion.
I think of you every night before the sun sets. It’s our time. Always has been, always will be.
I got hit on tonight, and I let her know I was practically married. Because, in a sense, I am. You have my heart, and you always will.
I will love you for the rest of my life, just like I always have.
“Because my heart has always been yours. You are my best friend, my confidant, and the love of my life.”
I slipped the citrine yellow stone set into a solid gold band with amber color stones surrounding it. Reese stared down at her hand and smiled up at me. “It’s a sunset that I can have with me at all times.” Her voice shook.
“You ready for forever?” she whispered. “Absolutely, I am. Happy wedding day, Mrs. Reynolds.” She smiled, her eyes wet with emotion, and I dipped her back and kissed her again. Just before the sunset.
