I can’t even be embarrassed because I want him here too much. “Yeah, you’re not going anywhere…”
I lean up and he flips over, pulling me on top of him.
“I’m yours,” he says, grinning up at me.
He’s not grinning a few minutes later, as I rock against him. Our skin is damp, our faces flush as we move as one. He sits up to face me, taking him impossibly deeper.
“Tell me something good,” he says. “I can start. Being so deep inside you, I don’t know where I end and you begin…”
“Having you in my bed, living in Landmark, and doing this whenever we want,” I say.
“Loving you, you loving me…starting a new life together.”
He presses his fingers between us and I cry out, another orgasm taking me by surprise. He comes with a roar, and I love how everything feels so much more intense this way.
I hang on for dear life as he wrenches everything out of me and then some, making me see stars and beyond.
“I have something to tell you,” he says, when we fall back on the pillows, chests heaving up and down.
He says something and I’m still delirious, so I think I’m hearing things.
I turn my head to look at him, my body still winded. “What did you just say?”
“I said, ‘Landmark Mountain is yours.’ Well, technically, it’sours.Your name is next to mine and Zac’s now. I went to show Grinny the papers before I came to see you, and she approves. It’s how Helen knew about us before everyone else…she showed up as I was leaving and Grinny said, ‘Go get our girl!’ which told Helen all she needed to know.”
He grins and leans over to kiss me. He pulls back when I’m still staring at him.
“Are you okay? It doesn’t mean you have to do anything more or different than what you’re already doing, but the resort is now in your name. Zac and I agree that it should be yours.”
My eyes fill with tears. “I-I can’t believe you,” I say, my voice cracking. “Jamison!”
He laughs, his hands winding through my hair, as he kisses me hard.
“You are my something good,” I whisper.
EPILOGUE
JAMISON
A year later…
I have the best view on the whole mountain as I hike behind Scarlett in her white yoga pants, both dogs on either side of her, Lucia continuously turning around to make sure I’m still coming.
Delgado finally stops and Scarlett does too, laughing when he stretches across her feet.
“I guess he’s done,” she says, bending down to pick him up. “We’re so close to the top. You sure you want to give up now?” she asks him, kissing his little head.
He nuzzles up to her, his eyes smug as he looks back at me likeyeah, I give up, now kiss me again.
Lucia winds herself around our legs and I lean down and kiss Scarlett, unable to help myself.
“Guess what today is?” I ask.
“What?” Scarlett asks.
I love how free her smiles are with me now. It’s become my mission to keep her smiling as much as humanly possible.
“Happiest day of our lives,” I tell her.
