Just when I thought she couldn’t get more perfect.

She does.

“Yes. Oh, fuck yes.” I increase the pressure on her clit, driving harder into her pussy until we are both crying out with our release.

I thrust again and once more, then still.

She drops her head between her arms, sucking in air.

Her arms shake from holding the position I put her in.

Slowly, I withdraw from her, putting her panties back in place and help her stand straight again.

Turning her around to face me, I pull up her tank top, stopping a moment to place a kiss over our initials. It’s faint now, but it will be there for a long time, I think.

After I have my jeans back on, and she’s dressed herself in her jeans and tank top, I pull her to the armchair and sit her in my lap.

She nestles her head beneath my chin, and we cuddle.

“After tonight, when this is all done, are you going to leave?” Fear shakes her voice.

I squeeze her tighter.

“That depends.”

“On what?” She runs her fingertips up and down my arm.

“If you’re ready to leave Chicago, or if you need some time here.”

She pulls back to look at me. There’s a little wrinkle in her forehead pulling her eyebrows down.

“You want me to go with you?”

I touch the thin scar of our initials.

“I told you, you’re mine now.” I kiss her softly.

“What if you change your mind when all this is done, and there’s no more danger?”

I chuckle.

“Why’s that funny?” She cocks her head.

“Because you think loving someone isn’t dangerous?” I kiss her again, a soft peck.

“You love me.” No doubt lingers in her words or in her soft brown eyes. “I was afraid…”

I knuckle her chin until she looks up at me again.

“You were afraid I didn’t love you back?”

She chews on the inside of her lip for a moment.

“When did you know?”

“You stabbed Jimmy’s guard for me.” I tuck her wet hair behind her ears. “We’re going to spend forever protecting each other, just like that.”

She sighs happily and tucks herself beneath my chin again.
