We haven’t had a chance—haven’t had enough time. Dammit. Why didn’t I do more sooner? Why didn’t I act on my impulses? Tell her exactly what I was feeling. She should already be mine.
“Fuck,” he says, relaxing into the cushions. “Come here and let me hold you.”
“I didn’t think this—you and me, and you and him—was a possibility. I assumed you’d choose. And I’m used to not being picked first.”

“I’m just making sure you know where I stand, baby. It’s me and you. Plus him. And maybe them.”
“Right now, there’s nothing I want more than you, Nicky.” “Fuck, baby. Say it again.”
“It was easier to hate you than to admit I wanted you, too. You’ve been in my head since the moment we met, Jojo. I’m done fighting it. I know the deal. I don’t know the details yet, but I want in, too.”
“Don’t forgive me yet, Mama. I’m going to fucking earn it. You deserve to be fought for, not fought over. You deserve to be vindicated—which is exactly what I’m gonna do.
Fuck. I only want to be wherever she is these days.
I’ll destroy them. Not just the videos, but the perpetrators who thought they could put a fucking hand on my girl before I even knew she was mine.
If she doesn’t want my embrace, that’s okay. For now. She has my loyalty. My devotion. My lifelong commitment to avenge her and make them pay. She has me.
I’m not broken, and I’m no delicate flower. I’m a survivor, and I came to Lake Chapel so I could finally start living.”
“Fuck, Jojo. My heart beats for you. My body burns for you. I’m gonna fill you up with so much proof you won’t ever doubt me again.”
“You feel so fucking good. Give it to me, Mama. Come on my cock while I fill you up.”
“I want everything where you’re concerned, Mama. But I can be patient. You’re more than worth the wait.”
“Baby, you underestimate just how well I can compartmentalize. Don’t think for one second that I’m not tuned in to you every second you’re on the bench by my side.”
“I see you, baby. Always. You’re safe by my side. Nothing and no one is getting to you ever again.”
“You are the person, Josephine. The one and only.”
She loves me. There’s no doubt in my mind that I want to spend the rest of my life loving her.
He kisses me like I’m the most precious thing in the world—like his happiness begins and ends in this moment.
