“I need you inside me, Riaan,” I beg.

With his eyes staring up at me, he licks my nipple before inching toward my lips and kisses me deeply. When he pulls back, love and possessiveness shines bright on his face. Our rough hands become slow as we feel each other.

We’re not rushing because no one is hunting us down.

Our darkest days is now behind us.

No longer him and I against the world.

Cupping my knee, he spreads my legs wider before sliding his hips between them. Skin on skin. Heartbeats in harmony.

I hiss when the head of his cock teases my clit. His hand pushes between our bodies while his gaze never strays from mine. A shiver races down my spice as his rough fingers spread my juices over my slit and my cunt.

I slide my hands around his neck and push until our breaths mingle. His forehead rests on mine, his eyes watching the lust cloud my senses as he continues pushing me higher toward ecstasy.

His fingers stroke my wet slit before he guides his big cock in my waiting pussy. My lips part as he pushes inside achingly slow, making me feel every inch and ridge until he’s inside me to the hilt. Pulling out, he thrusts again at the same pace until I moan.

His body makes love with mine. Our eyes never straying from one another’s. I meet his thrusting hips as the pleasure reaches its peak. Interlacing our fingers together, he shoves our arms above my head and makes me his.

“Tell me you’re mine,” he demands in a husky voice.

“I’m yours, Riaan.”

“Tell me you love me.”Thrust.

“I love you.”

“You belong to me, like I belong to you. Say. It.”Thrust.

“I’ll always belong to you.”

“Like it’s written in the stars.”Thrust.

We both whisper against each other’s lips as we fall over the edge together.

Epilogue One

RIAAN

(A year later)

They say once you find a good woman, never let her go.

The only thing is... Nyra found me.

She consumed me whole, and ensnared me with her innocence until existing without her became impossible.

Last year was tough on both of us. Our secrets nearly destroyed our lives but when two souls are meant to be, nothing can keep them apart. Nobody is more deserving of a happily ever after than Nyra and me.

Almost losing her has only made my obsession for her run deeper. My father will never touch her again but the fear is still constant in my chest. On some days, the darkness swallows me whole. But Nyra brings me back before I drown in that dark hole.

We’ve become each other’s strength and nothing will ever tear us apart.

Each day we spend together, we replace the bad memories with good ones. Shortly after her parents left, we went on a vacation. I took her to a private island owned by one of my friends. It was the perfect getaway to heal and push the past behind us.

A lot has changed in the past year but some things are still the same.

I’m still controlling and bossy as fuck. She says she doesn’t like it but we both know it secretly thrills her. My possessiveness and need to dominate her body hasn’t lessened either.
