“I can’t lose her again,” I say with a sob. “I can’t.”
“I’ve got you, baby,” I cry with her. “I’ve got you.”
“Hey,” he says softly as he pours the warm water over my shoulders. “It’s okay. You’re safe, and I’m never going to let her hurt you again.”
“I love you,” he breathes. “I love you so much.”
“You are everything to me,” he says, kissing his way down my neck. “There isn’t a thing about you that I don’t love.”
“I’m always desperate for you,” I correct him. “You’ve turned me into a fucking sex- addicted monster.” He smirks, bouncing his brows excitedly. “I know. It’s the second best thing I’ve ever done.” “What was the first?” “Marrying you.”
SWOON
She couldn’t know the plan, and that was the worst fucking part about it, because as she broke down in front of me, it was real to her. And I never want to hurt her like that.
I HAD A FEELING BUT COULD YOU MAYBE NOT FUCK WITH ME LIKE THAT PLS
“There is no me without you, Laiken. I may not be sure of a lot, but I’m sure of that.”
“Next time I tell you two I don’t like someone and you don’t believe me, I’m going to remind ya’ll of this,”
“Baby,” I say softly. “I know you’re scared, but you have to know that I’m not going to let anything happen to you. I’ve got you. Okay? But we have to end this once and for all.”
“It’s all over, baby. Except us. You’re stuck with me for the rest of our lives.”
Looking down at the girl who surprised me at every turn, I can’t believe there was a time I wanted to deny myself this. But she fucked all my rules then the same way she does now. And I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. I kiss her forehead before saying the words that aren’t nearly enough, but they’re the only thing that comes close. “I more than love you.”
“Two years ago today, I married you in the middle of our living room in front of our closest family,” I say, with all the love I feel for her pouring out in my words. “Now I’m asking you to marry me in front of everyone we know and love, here, on our special beach.”
😭😭😭
Laiken’s smile stretches from ear to ear as she giggles. “You’re such a caveman you have to marry me twice, huh?” I huff out a laugh as I stand, grabbing the back of her neck. “You know it, baby.”
“Every time I think I can’t love you any more than I already do…”
“You literally saw me an hour ago,” she teases. Turning toward her, I give her an incredulous look. “Woman, I miss you when you walk away for five minutes. Don’t act like this is news to you.”
“I think, deep down, I always knew you’d end up back in my arms.”
I will spend the rest of my life being incomprehensibly in love with her. And if there’s a life after this one, I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find her again, because her soul and mine are two halves of a whole. There’s no me without her.
