His hands move to cup my face, pulling me down for a kiss that is both tender and urgent, his lips molding against mine in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Knox has always kissed me like he’s trying to memorize me, like he’s afraid this moment could slip through his fingers. Tonight is no different. But now, there’s a new softness to his touch, a reverence that comes from the life we’ve built together, the family we’ve created.
He lowers me onto the couch, his body covering mine as his mouth continues to explore, his hands worshiping every inch of me. “You’re my everything,” he whispers against my skin, his breath hot as he moves lower, pressing kisses to my stomach, my hips, down to the tops of my thighs. “You’ve given me everything, Petal.”
I arch into him, my body responding to his words, his touch, the way he makes me feel cherished, loved. He’s always been like this—fierce and tender all at once. And now, with our girls asleep in the next room, I can feel that fierceness softening into something even deeper.
“Knox,” I moan softly, my hands fisting in the fabric of the couch as he moves between my legs, his mouth finding places that make me lose all sense of reality. He takes his time, savoring every moment, every reaction, until I’m trembling beneath him, lost in the overwhelming pleasure only he can give me.
When he finally pulls me back up to straddle his lap, his hands gripping my hips, his eyes lock onto mine, and I see it—the future we’ve built, the love we’ve shared, the family we’ve created. It’s all there, shining in his gaze, and I know, without a doubt, that I’ve found my forever.
He presses a kiss to my forehead, then my lips, before whispering, “I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you know how much I love you. You and our girls.”
I smile through the haze of desire, my heart swelling with so much love for this man that it feels like I could burst. “I know you will,” I whisper, my voice trembling with emotion. “Because I love you too, Knox Steele. Always.”
And as we sit there, wrapped in each other’s arms, the fire crackling softly in the fireplace, the weight of our new life settling over us, I know that everything we’ve been through has led us to this moment.
This love. This family. This home.
The End.
