Unblinking, he let out a deep breath. “Come here,” he softly urged.

It took about a minute until I found my footing and took the necessary steps to get to where he was standing. It didn’t take a second for me to be in his arms as he kissed me in such a way that melted me into a puddle of gushiness.

“I don’t want anyone.” He lovingly probed into my soul. “I only ever want you.”

My heart skipped a beat, overjoyed that I had taken the initiative to be here instead of denying myself a chance at something that could be great. Hopefully, once the guilt subsided, we could finally get to where we need to be.

In the end, he decided not go to whatever event he had needed to get to. The very man himself ushered me into his home, and we didn’t get past the foyer before he had me naked and my willing body wrapped against him, clinging on for dear life as he took me against the wall roughly.

We remained in that naked state of bliss for the entire weekend. I had never realized a person could be so happy they could sing from the rooftops. If I had thought I was in love with him before, after that weekend, I was fully his: body, heart, and soul.

It might be naïve of me to proclaim such declarations at an early stage, but I couldn’t help how I felt.

And just as Nessa had said …

It simply is.
