Redeeming 6 (Boys of Tommen, #4)

by Chloe Walsh

“Move in with me.” I stood, unmoving, un-bloody-blinking, as I tried to absorb his words. “Huh?” “Move in with me, Molloy,” Joey repeated, closing the space between us. “Live with me.” “Here?” “Here,” he confirmed with a nod. “For now, at least.” My heart bucked wildly in my chest as my eyes roamed over his face, searching for the lie. I didn’t find it. “You’re serious,” I breathed, feeling dizzy. “You’re not joking.” “No, I’m not,” he replied, clamping a hand down on my hip. “Be with me.” “I am with you, Joe.” “No.” He shook his head. “Be with me, Molloy.” “In what way?” “In every way.” Whoa. “I love you.” He reached a hand between us and stroked AJ’s soft curls. “I’ve spent a third of my life loving you, Aoife Molloy, and I don’t plan on stopping.” Leaning in close, he pressed his brow to mine and exhaled a shaky breath. “I’ve made a lot of terrible decisions,” he admitted quietly. “But the worst, by far, was hurting you and pushing you away.” “It’s okay, Joe,” I heard myself whisper, trembling now. “I forgive you.” “I don’t deserve your forgiveness,” he replied, voice thick and gruff. “But I will earn it. Because whatever comes our way, from here on out, I’ll be right beside you.” He nuzzled my nose with his before pressing a kiss to my lips. “Because in this version of forever, we get the happy ending, Molloy.”

Their happily ever after :')
