Isla (Love Sequence #2)

by Daphne Leigh

"But this love is brave and wild. And I never saw you coming. And I'll never be

the same," I sing softly, recognizing the tune. He picks up when

"I'm bad for you, Sunflower. You need sunshine to thrive. Henry has that covered. You don't need me."

"If it's my hands on you, you better be calling my name, Isla," he growls. He slides two fingers into me, pushing deep.

"This has nothing to do with any god. It's me your pussy’s weeping for."

I know exactly what I want. "I want to be worshipped, ravished, fucked, and filled until it's the only thing I can think about. I want to be so immersed in it that

everything else disappears. I've never had that before, and I crave it so badly. I need a true release."

"Will you run for me, Freckles?"

"Run?" "I want to chase you. Catch you. Fuck you in the forest like a wild animal." His eyes glint in the moonlight, dark and dangerous. My adrenaline spikes. "Yes," I breathe, my muscles tensing, getting ready to put up a fight. This feeling–blood rushing, heart pounding–is what I live for. "Then run," he growls, backing up a step and setting the stuffed cow safely against a tree.

"Be a good girl and take me all the way," he says, his voice hoarse. "Please, Isla."

"Sunflower, I knew you were the one from the moment you knocked that croissant out of my mouth. The world fades away in your presence, and I am left with only the sound of your voice, the warmth of your touch, and the light in your eyes.

You are the quiet in my chaos, the steady heartbeat in my chest. With you, I am

both grounded and free. I love the way you see the world, how you find beauty in the simplest things, how your laughter fills the room, and how your kindness touches everyone around you. There is no need for grand gestures, no need for perfect words. It is enough to simply be with you, share this l...

"Freckles, there's a silent understanding between us that needs no words, only a glance, a touch, a shared breath. In you, I find the calm I didn't

know I was missing, a sense of belonging that feels as natural as breathing. You are the moment before sleep when everything is quiet and still, and the world feels just right. I love the way your presence lingers long after you've gone, how your laughter echoes in my thoughts, and how your kindness softens the edges of my day. Being with you is like coming home to a place I never knew but always longed for. You are my peace, my challenge, my joy. In the space between us, I find a love that is steady, unhurried, and true. A love that simply is.”

Henry trades places with Dylan, his hands swallowing mine. "Red, I found my anchor in you, a quiet strength that

steadies me, a light that brightens every corner of my world. You are the warmth in my coldest days, the calm in my fiercest storms. With you, I have learned what it means to be truly seen, to be loved without conditions, and to love without fear. Today, I offer you my unwavering support, my patient heart, my open ears. I promise to stand by you, in moments of triumph, in times of doubt, in the quiet moments where words are not needed. Together, we will build a life woven with laughter, strengthened by trust, and colored with the joy of countless shared adventures. Isla, you are my beginning and my end, my constant, my love. Today, I give you all that I am, and all that I will ever be, now and always.”

"Dylan, Theo, Henry, each of you adds something invaluable to my life. Dylan, you bring a quiet strength that grounds me. Your calm presence allows me to find peace when life gets overwhelming, and even in your silence, I feel the depth of your love—a steady, unspoken support that I know will always be there. “Theo, you are my foundation, the one I can lean on without hesitation. Your strength and reliability give me the confidence to face whatever comes our way. You're the one who lifts me when I'm

down, who stands by me in every challenge, and who helps me find the courage to keep moving forward. “Henry, you are the spark that keeps me on my toes. You challenge me to think differently, to embrace new ideas, and to see the world as a place full of possibilities. With you, life is never dull—every day feels like an adventure, and you remind me to find joy in the unexpected.

“I am the person I am today because of the three of you. You have shaped, supported, and loved me in ways that I didn't even know I needed. You've made my life richer, more complete, ...

"May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back. May the sunshine be warm upon your faces; may the rains fall soft upon your feet. And until we meet again, may the gods hold you in the palm of their hands." He looks up from our hands, a giant grin on his face. "You may kiss your bride."

"Thank you isn't enough to express my gratitude, Isla. Thank you for saving me. Us. I will spend every day of the rest of my life showing you how grateful I am."
