I look into her eyes and smile. Everything in my gut tells me that this is right. “Then let me love you too.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” Nothing has ever felt more right to say.
Chapter Twenty
Adrien
It’s not hard for me to find Remy. He was hurt in the shootout at my house. I used my contacts to find out which hospital he’s at.
A guard is stationed outside his room. I brought a few of my men with me for this occasion. One of my guys goes over to the guard and gets into a fight with him, pulling everyone’s attention their way, allowing me to sneak into Remy’s room.
He’s alone in the room, asleep in his bed.
I bring my face to hover right over his. “Hello, Remy.”
His eyes jerk open. An oxygen mask is over his mouth, preventing him from speaking. Judging from how manybandages he has wrapped around his body, he got really hurt in the shootout.
He tries to speak but I place my hand over his throat, pressing down.
“You tried to kill me and my wife. So, I’m going to kill you. Have a nice life in hell, Remy. But you want to know the funniest part? By you attacking me and Ana, it only brought us closer together. I’ve never been more happy with a woman in my entire life. So thank you for that.”
I grab his pillow and press it over his face. He struggles against me but I don’t let up and eventually he stops moving altogether.
I settle his pillow back behind his head and leave the room. The fight is still happening so no one even notices me.
I return home to Ana, who jumps to her feet off the couch the second she sees me.
“Is he dead?” she asks.
I wrap her in my arms. “He’s dead. We’re safe now. Safe to start our lives together.”
She pulls me onto the couch and straddles me. After we had sex for the first time, we’ve been going at it like fucking rabbits since then. Neither of us can’t get enough of each other.
“Safe to start our adventure together?” she asks, giving me a sneaky smile. I have found that I love all of her smiles. All of her expressions. The way she speaks. The way she acts.
I know I love her. I just had to open my heart up to it.
“Yes,” I respond before giving her a kiss.
Ana laughs as I lay her down on the couch and hover over her. Never would I have thought I could be this happy. But here I am.
All I had to do was let myself love a woman. Love my own wife.
An adventure indeed.
The End
