like Selene’s. It’s a wonder I haven’t strangled any high school boys just yet. Luna leans into me, resting her head on my shoulder and hugging me. “I’ll always be your little girl, Dad. No matter what. Even when I’m thirty, and I have like eighty kids.”
Fuck. My eyes grow misty.
I hug my sweet little girl back. “Good. And make it fifty, yeah? Thirty is still too young.” I press a kiss to her head and give her the only advice I can. “And listen, Luna, any kid out there would be lucky to have you. If he doesn’t realize that, he doesn’t deserve you.”
I hear a soft sniffle. “I love you, Dad.”
“I love you, too, baby.”
Back at home, I wrangle the little ones into bed and stop inside Flora’s room. Selene is already in there, rocking Flora in the chair. Her gaze flits up to mine, that soft smile on her face.
“Hey, babe,” she whispers. “How’d it go?”
“Other than the fact that the world is ending because my baby girl likes boys? Well enough.”
She laughs, then her face sobers a bit. “You look tired.”
I am. I’ve been working overtime with the guys. We had an influx of contracts this past month, plus a project I have us all working on the side. I shrug my shoulder, brushing it off as I walk into the room. I look down at my sweet little girl sleeping in her mother’s arms and press a kiss to her head.
“Let’s go to bed.”
“I thought you’d never ask.”
Back in the bedroom, I lock the door behind me and begin stripping off my wife’s clothes. She’s just as beautiful now as she was the first moment I met her. She still has that ethereal glow. She still has the same beautiful heart and soul that made me fall in love with her.
“I love you, Endymion,” she whispers, just as I slide my cock inside her. My love for this woman knows no bounds. It’s all-consuming, a soul-filled bond I can’t imagine sharing with anyone else. Our love is otherworldly.
“I love you, too, Selene. Always.”
Our love is otherworldly. It always has been.
We belong to the cosmos, forever me and my moon goddess.
THE END.
Ache: A Second Chance Romance
What happens when you fall for the boy next door?
Bea Norwood had the market on normal.
Drama free life? Check.

When her best friend’s cousin, Liam Falcon, is sent to live with his aunt and uncle to clean up his act, Bea finds herself falling for the boy next door. With their hearts so infinitely entwined, Bea turns to Liam as her only escape from her new step-brother’s daily torment at home. Bea thought their love could conquer anything. But she was wrong. Love was for fools, and she was the biggest fool of them all.

His first love. The girl who holds his heart. The same girl who shattered it six years ago without looking back.
Liam is hell-bent on seeing Bea again after six years, but what he finds tears his heart in half. Bea Norwood is a shell of the girl he fell in love with. Underneath the baggy clothes, and pale skin, he knows she’s still in there somewhere, he just needs to find her. Liam will stop at nothing to win his girl back, but sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and Liam isn’t prepared for Bea’s truth.
Warning: Some aspects of this story may be sensitive for readers.
Turning my head, the fresh smell of grass wafts around me as I stare at the side of his handsome face in complete awe. I don’t know how it happened, but somehow, I fell in love with this beautiful boy next to me, and an even greater miracle is the fact that he loves me too.
“Liam?”
He turns his head and meets my questioning stare head on with inquisitive brows.
“Will you promise to love me forever? No matter what?”
He doesn’t smile, his face is a blank mask. But his eyes…his eyes tell a different story. There’s so much to be read in his eyes, it makes my heart flutter, and I flush. Liam reaches out, gently placing a strand of hair
