allowing him to pound into me at a bruising speed. The sounds that fill the room are only those that come from the best sex, when even words become inaudible messes.
Pressure builds in my core again as he fucks me with everything he has, and before I know it, I'm falling again. My whole body goes weak as I clench around him and collapse onto the bed. He rides me through it before reaching his own high, my name rolling off his tongue like a prayer.
Lying there, we try to catch our breath. He pulls out of me and rolls over. After tying off the condom and tossing it into the garbage, he reaches up and unties me. Before I can move myself, he grabs me and maneuvers my body so my head rests on his chest. He pulls my hand up to his mouth and presses a kiss to my knuckles.
“I never want to be without you again.”
I sigh, feeling exactly the same way. “You won't be.”
BY THE TIME WE finally get out of bed, after naked wrestling, which may or may not have turned into round two, half the day is spent. He takes me out to lunch at a secluded place right outside the city, and then around to all the places that have made him think of me over the years.
A part of the aquarium, because he knows seals are my favorite animal.
A sea glass shop that has a whole display of seafoam green—my favorite color.
The San Francisco Bay, because of the way I love to swim.
With every spot we go to, I realize there isn't a single thing he's forgotten over the years. He still knows everything there is to know about me, including the things that have either changed or I forgot about myself.
Once it's dark, I think we're about to go get Brenna and head home, but Colby has other plans. He drives us out of the city and up to a hill that overlooks it all. It may be cold out, but that doesn't stop me from getting out of the car. This is one view that needs to be seen without a windshield in the way.
I step out to the edge and stare at the city beneath me. It's all lit up but looks so tiny from this far up. Colby steps up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He kisses my shoulder and rests his chin on it afterward.
“There were times where missing you got so unbearable that I just had to get away for a little bit,” he says. “I used to come up here and it felt like I could see the whole world. I would just sit here for hours and wonder where you were and if you were happy.”
I hold his arms to me and make sure he doesn't let go, but I can't ignore the elephant in the room. “No offense, but you didn't exactly seem lonely.”
He hums. “They were all just nameless faces. People I used to try to numb the pain and forget the world for a little bit. But none of them even came close to making me feel an ounce of what you do. It's like I've been chasing a feeling in all the wrong directions.”
Spinning me around in his arms, he pulls back and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear, staring deep into my eyes.
“I love you, Saige, and I'm so sorry I never told you that when I had the chance.”
My heart melts at his words and a breathy laugh leaves my mouth. “I love you, too.”
THE DRESSING ROOM IS filled with staff doing everything they need to get Colby ready. Today is the day of his big interview, and while I'm in here with him, Maddie is entertaining Brenna with candy and soda. It's something I know I'll need to deal with later, but right now I need to make sure Colby is prepared.
Selena comes in looking a little flustered. “We have a bit of an issue.”
Both mine and Colby's faces drop. “What?”
She sighs. “Well, I was hoping this part would work itself out over time, but it didn't, and we need to make a decision before you go out there.”
He reaches over and grabs my hand. “Whatever it is, we can figure it out.”
Nodding, Selena hands Colby the questions he's going to be asked. “If we say that you didn't know about Brenna, it makes Saige look bad for not telling you,
