Page 6 of Timeless: Encore

Zane eases us down, careful to stay firmly rooted inside me. He hates pulling out. As do I. When Zane’s inside me, it’s the only time I feel whole.

“I love you, Fee. I love you so much.” His arms are wound tightly around my middle. My back to his front.

His cock twitches so I squeeze him. “I love you too. Stay in me.Please.”

“Yes.” He bites my shoulder. One hand sneaks up and cups my breast. He rolls my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. I feel his cock stiffen inside me again.

It’s always like this with us. Ever since we first had sex at eighteen. We can go for hours. And usually do.

This time it’s lazy. Zane thrusts into me from behind and plays with my tits. He kisses my nape, then the sensitive spot behind my ear. One hand snakes down and rubs my oversensitive clit. I reach back and grip his ass cheek. Our rolling orgasms are gentle but satisfying.

Eventually, Zane softens and slips out. His breathing evens out and his grip around my body relaxes as he falls asleep.

I glance at the clock. It’s three a.m. Jesus.

Tomorrow we leave for Maui. To the new, seven-bedroom oceanfront home we purchased sight unseen with the settlement money I received from Corey’s family. Our friends and family will join us in a couple of weeks when we get married.

By then, I’ll be weaned off my anxiety medicine, thank God.

I’ve waited my entire life for a future with this man. We’ve survived, against all odds. We’re free of our family shit. Free from the shit of our own making. Mia’s free too, her asshole biological father is out of her life forever.

We’re truly happy. Together. Our own family with our own future and our own rules.

I nestle back against my love and shut my eyes. Make a definitive decision.

Zane and I have suffered enough. I’m done with these fucking drowning dreams. Done with the stress. Done with obstacles.

I’m taking control.

The past willnotinvade our future.

Ever. Again.

Chapter two

ZANE

A Month or So Later

FeeandIhavedreamed about this day for such a long time.

Our wedding in Maui was fucking amazing. The new house is spectacular and was the perfect place to hold a sunset ceremony. Our band family was there. My mom and dad came—together, for fuck’s sake. Fee’s mom, Faye even managed to hold her snarky comments to a minimum during the trip. All in all, we celebrated. Had an epic party.

I think everyone was relieved the two of us managed to pull the trigger.

But…as fantastic as Maui was, today is going to be even better.

“Mia?” I bellow to a group of giggly girls standing in the pick-up zone at the elementary school. “Let’s go, your mom and I have a surprise for you.”

She tosses her long, black hair over her shoulder and struts over to my car, a tricked-out black Bentley Bentayga SUV. Stops to look back over her shoulder and flash a peace sign to her friends. Opens the door, tosses her backpack onto the seat next to her and climbs into her booster seat. “What’s the hurry, Daddy?”

God, she’s too cool for school. Just like her mom was at her age. I love her so much.

“We’re having some people over for a party.” I’m at a stoplight so I crane my neck around and wink at her.

She squinches her nose. “For what? It’s not my birthday.”

“Uh,duh. I said it’s a surprise, goofball.“ The car behind us beeps at me. I whirl around to find the light is green and accelerate through the intersection.
