She slaps my ass, which causes Vortex to startle. When he sees the hardcore action on the bed has stopped, he launches up and wiggles his way between us.

“Did you happen to notice how well we worked together? We made a thousand decisions, about everything from paint color to kitchen appliances, without bloodshed.”

“Yes.”

“And we accomplished it without speaking. Just imagine how well we could work together now that we’re talking.”

I’m not sure where she’s going, but I like her playful tone.

“Mmm.”

“So I was thinking… Maybe we could stay in this room together. It’s big enough for both of us.”

“And Vortex?” I have to lean over thechitzain question to nuzzle Misty’s cheek with my nose.

“Yes. The three of us. We could stay here. Run the inn together. Maybe build a little cottage in the backyard. You know, so we could rent out this room.”

”Would the little cottage have its own gazebo?”

“Naturally. I don’t like to share.”

She nips my shoulder. I like her possessiveness. I don’t want to share her either. Ever.

“There’s nothing more satisfying than a new project.” I nudge her with my already-hard cock, causing her eyes to flare wide.

“Really? Three in a row? You’re a hidden treasure, you know that?”

“I already found the hidden treasure, Misty. It’s you.”

Her warm hands cup my cheeks so sweetly my heart clenches. “You really forgive me? For torturing us both for three long months?”

“I think it’s time we forgive each other.”

“So, the contract? The one that allows for one of us to buy out the other?” she asks.

“Let’s replace it with another contract. Amatingcontract. We’ll have joint property. Even Vortex.”

I’ve seen my female in many moods, but I’ve never seen her face bloom with such a wide smile.

“I need one thing first, Zylus.”

Her smile evaporates as she turns serious. “I need to apologize one last time—”

I interrupt her, wanting to tell her I’ve already forgiven her, but she shushes me.

“One last apology and I have to tell you how much I love you. I’ve watched you treat everyone you encounter with respect, and never behave badly despite my stubborn behavior and all the stress we were under. You could have been a jerk to me these last three months, but you weren’t. I know you better than anyone I’ve ever met, and I love everything about you.”

My chest bursts with heat at her loving words.

Somehow I manage to dislodge thechitzaand hear him jump back onto the floor as I cradle my female in my arms.

“I love you, Misty. More even than the Interstellar Inn. All is forgiven. Let’s spend a lifetime together.”

The words hang in the air between us, weighted with promise and possibility.

“Do you mean it?” she whispers, hardly daring to breathe. “A lifetime? Even when I’m stubborn and infuriating and driving you crazy with my questionable taste in bathroom tiles?”

I laugh, low and warm, then cup her face with both my hands. “Especiallywhen you’re driving me crazy. Misty, don’t you know by now? There’s nothing in this galaxy or the next that could make me stop loving you. You’re it for me. My forever.”
