“I’m so sorry, Elle,” he coaxed between kissing. “For hurting your perfect heart.”

“I know.”

And I did.

“I’m sorry too.”

And I was.

“I wish we could go back and change things to not have to lose all that time.”

“I wouldn’t change anything.”

“Really?”

He smiled against my mouth. “It led us to this place in time where I know without a shadow of a doubt that you’re my person.”

I smiled back onto his lips. “Like your soulmate?”

“Like my everything.” He grabbed my face. “It’s crazy because I knew in the back of my mind that it’s always been you. I didn’t even realize how much everyone else knew too until I arrived here. I never realized how much everyone could see it. My friend Dan, who has never seen us together, knew just by hearing me talk about you.”

My eyes rimmed with tears.

“He told me to just give in to you, into us, and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. You’ve made me realize just how much is missing in my life. My family. You. A puppy.”

I giggled. “He is awfully cute.”

“I realize now that this is not only where I need to be but also where I want to be.”

“What are you saying?”

“I’m saying… I love you, I love you, I love you…”

My eyes widened as he leaned back, unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and freed his cock. Grabbing my hips next, he lifted me and pulled down my overalls.

In one quick, sudden motion, my chest was pressed against the table, and he thrust deep inside me.

“Yes...”

I savored in the feel only he could give me. His hands made their way down to my ass, guiding my movements, finding a rhythm that drove me into a wild frenzy. I was overpowered by the feelings he stirred all around me, and I allowed the familiar ache to take over.

He placed my face between his hands and peered at me adoringly. “No more bullshit between us, Elle. You’re mine.”

I came, and he growled, “You’re going to let me back in.”

I panted, “You are in.”

He didn’t let up on his rough thrusts. “You’re going to not only give me your heart, your soul, your friendship, and pussy, but you’re also going to give me your ass… and you know what else?”

I nodded, finally giving him what we both wanted.

NICHOLAS

“The taste of you, the scent of you, the feel of you, nothing compares to you.” My calloused hands roamed up her bare thighs, never taking my eyes off her beautiful face. “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Her legs trembled.

Her body shook.
