No more hiding.

We’re finally free to be together.

I didn’t think I would ever get a chance to feel happiness like this. For so long, I was too scared by the idea of losing someone I loved again that I didn’t allow myself the chance to love.

But somehow, Lev made me feel safe enough to open up my heart once more, and I couldn’t be more grateful to him.

“I love you,” I choke as my eyes sting with tears.

Lev takes my face in his hands and kisses me so softly that I can’t help but let the tears fall.

“I love you too.”

Lev rests his forehead against mine, our eyes locked on one another, as he makes love to me.

The only sound is our heavy breathing as we both chase our release.

When Lev’s brows pull together as he fights the urge to come, I take his face in myhands and kiss him deeply.

“Come with me,” I pant as my thighs start to tremble.

It’s all the permission he needs.

His pace turns from gentle to brutal as he thrusts his cock inside me, hitting me so deep that I’m screaming out his name as I come.

He buries his face in my neck as his body shudders, and his grunts have me seeing stars.

“Oh, fuck..” His cock jerks, and he spills inside me.

After he cleans us up, we slide into bed, and I snuggle into his chest as he wraps his arms around me.

“Thank you for loving me,” he whispers in my ear as I fall asleep.

EPILOGUE

ELLE

Seven Months Later

“You know how I always said I wanted to have like eight kids. Well, I take it back. I’m never doing that again.”

Lucia laughs as she cradles my newborn son in her arms.

“Now do you see why I’m hesitant to have another after Vivi? I’vejuststopped peeing when I laugh. I’m not ready to give that up yet.”

Anton shakes his head from his seat in the corner of the delivery room. “I really didn’t need to know that.”

Nina’s perched on the arm of his chair. “It’s true, though. You guys get a few minutes of fun while us women have to lose our bladder function and grow boobs the size of melons in order to provide you with offspring.”

“A few minutes? Ouch, better luck next time, Anton.” Dimitri chuckles, slapping his cousin on the back.

“Fuck off, I can last longer than you.”

Bianca scoffs. “Don’t swear in front of the baby. He has innocentears!”

Danil laughs. “Not for long.”

I groan as I clutch at my side. “Don’t make me laugh.”
