“Yes, please, yes. I want to do this with you. I do. I love you so much, and I let those thoughts get in my head and mess with me.” A long breath slips through my lips. “But just hearing you say everything out loud, it means something. It makes me feel like flying…” I shake my head, overcome with emotion. “You’re mine for as long as you want me, Charm.” He kisses me, soft and slow, and I melt into his arms.
