Page 239 of Unexpected Ever After

His rough voice, thick with sleep has me squeezing my legs together. Even after all this time, I’m still turned on with a simple touch, look, or hearing his sexy voice.

“Morning,” I say, turning toward him.

He presses a soft kiss against my lips and moves down placing another on my shoulder. “How’s it feeling?”

I smile and move the blanket so he can see my new tattoo.

A matching Swallow on my other clavicle.

I wasn’t sure I’d ever find someone that would complete the pair, but I did. I found my other half, my matching Swallow.

“It looks amazing,” I say, staring at his handsome face.

He grins, tracing his finger under the fresh tattoo. “I fucking love that I was the one to give this to you.”

My heart skips a beat as I kiss his bare chest. “Me too.”

When I decided I finally found my other half, I wanted it tattooed on me forever. Having Corbin be the one to do it, makes it even more special.

“I used to hate Swallows,” he says, grinning as his eyes lift to mine.

I laugh, shaking my head. “You did not.”

He lifts an eyebrow and looks down the Swallow he tattooed on me with soft eyes. “I did. When I saw that tattoo on your clavicle it was such a damn turn on. I hated that I felt that and each time I saw one it reminded me of how much I wanted the one girl I’d never have.” He peeks up at me and winks. “Now I have her and I’m never letting go.”

I point to each Swallow. “It’s you and me,” I say, searching his green eyes.

He climbs on top of me, pressing his firm lips to mine. When he pulls away, he searches my eyes and grins. “Always, princess.”

If anyone would have told me that the love of my life was the man I hated, I would’ve laughed.

But here I am, completely and hopelessly in love with Corbin Stoll.

My worst enemy and my truest love.

My missing Swallow.

My unexpected happily ever after.
