I tell him, my lips turning up into a smile.
He lets out a growl before his mouth devours mine once again. “Mine,” he says, kissing me, kissing my body. “Forever.”
His clothes come off quickly after that and it’s only minutes before he’s slamming into me, making me call out his name. Somehow, he seems to know when to be gentle and when to be rough, and I love both versions of him. He thrusts into me until my head is hitting the headboard. Then he flips us over and watches as I ride him until I shatter around him. His patience is short after that, thrusting up into me until he spills every last drop.
I collapse on top of him and he wraps his arms around me, holding me close as we both work to catch our breath. “I don’t know what took us so long, but now that I have you, I’m never letting you go.”
I smile at his words. “I’m never letting you go. I’ve never worked so hard for a guy in my life,” I joke and he laughs.
“You know what I was thinking about the other day?”
“What?” I ask, moving to his side.
“The pool.”
My face flushes red. “Ugh, you would mention that.”
He laughs. “What? That’s a good memory. And you know, technically, I was the first to be inside you.”
I laugh and nod. “You were.”
“Did you think back then that this is where we’d end up?”
I shake my head. “Absolutely not, but this isn’t where we’re ending up. This is just where we are now.”
“How do you think we’ll end up then?”
I think about it in the darkness of his room with his strong arms around me. “I don’t know, but wherever it is, we’ll be together and happy. That’s all that matters.”
Epilogue
Carson-6 months later
“Do you have everything this time? I don’t want to have to drive back down here next week,” I say as she hugs her mom.
She nods as she makes her way to the car. “Yes, I’m absolutely sure.”
We both climb into the car and I notice the tote bag she’s holding. “What’s in there?”
She smiles as she looks at me. She opens the bag and pulls out the picture frame with our four pictures in it. “I thought it would make a good addition to the new bedroom. Don’t you think? Remind us where we came from and how much we’ve overcome?”
I smile. “I have you to remind me of that, but yes, I’d like it in the bedroom.”
She leans in and presses a kiss to my lips. I start the car and start driving us to our new home in Chicago. We don’t have much time to unpack considering she starts her new job on Monday, and then, we have a wedding to plan. I look down and see the ring on her finger and smile.
“What?” she asks.
“Nothing,” I say, picking up her hand and pressing a kiss to the top. Looking back, it’s easy to see that this is where we were heading. But at the time, it felt like it would never get here. I thank God every day for bringing that little girl into my life when I was ten years old. She’s made my life so happy, filled with so much love, and now, she really is mine until the end of time.

The Wrong Brother SNEAK PEEK
Rock bottom has a basement—and I just found it.
* * *
I’ve been head over heels, write it in my diary over and over in love with my best friend Preston Young, pretty much my entire life.
* * *
You’d think after decades of hiding my feelings I’d want to reveal my lifelong secret love to my best friend privately, but NOPE.
As the queen of ridiculously grand romantic gestures,
I chose a Jerry Springer style television reveal.
* * *
I’ll spare you the anxiety inducing details and just say, it didn’t...work out the way I thought it would.
Cue crawling into a deep dark hole of wine, ice cream and sad ass movies.
I’m never showing my face again.
* * *
Okay, so maybe he stormed off the stage and rejected me on live television.
And maybe when his older brother came over to comfort me...I kissed him.
So much for getting my sh*t together.
* * *
It was just a kiss.
And then a few more.
And then so many toe-curling O’s my brains are permanently scrambled.
