I bite my lip as I nod against his forehead. “I’m sure.”

He lets out a shaky breath as he lifts my shirt above my head, revealing my bare breasts. He bites his lip as he squeezes his eyes shut.

“Fuck, Billie.” Opening his eyes again, they meet mine.

“I don’t have the words to express how stunning you are.”

His lips fall to mine as my hand slowly slips inside his pants. He groans as I find my way down and begin to stroke my palm over his already hard cock.

I press my thighs together as I feel him harden even more underneath my touch, imagining what it would feel like with him inside me. He grabs me by the back of my head, crushing his lips onto mine.

His hand travels down into my underwear as he cups my pussy. I let out a moan as his lips travel down to the side of my neck, his tongue swirls as he sucks. I begin to feel dizzy with the heat radiating off our skin. I brace myself on the island bench as he bends down and slips my underwear off.

He raises one of my legs so my foot is resting on the chair, and within seconds his mouth is on my pussy, like he’s been starved for me. His tongue moves hungrily over my clit, flicking, licking, and sucking. My eyes roll back as he looks up at me from between my legs, a devilish look swimming in his beautiful blue eyes. He devours me like he hasn’t had a meal in weeks, flattening his tongue over me in slow motion whilst his hands grab my thighs. I moan from sheer pleasure, just watching him between my legs is enough to send shivers down my spine. In one swift move, he removes the rest of his clothes, standing completely naked in front of me.

My breath hitches at the sight of him.

He looks just like I remember and yet so different at the same time. His chest is a lot more defined than when we were teenagers, his face hardened by the years. My eyes cascade to his cock, thick and long jutting out from his pelvis.

My mouth goes dry at the thought of him inside my mouth, but before I can move, his body presses up against me as he lifts me up by my thighs. My pussy throbs with need as I wrap my arms and legs around him, kissing him fervently.

He walks me into my bedroom and places me gently on the bed, his body hovering over mine. I lick my lips in anticipation as he reaches between us, aligning himself at my entrance and slowly pushes inside me.

I savour every moment, every inch that he gets deeper and deeper. Committing this very moment to my memories. He groans as he buries himself deep within me, resting his head on my collarbone. Our hearts beat in tandem, his hot breath tickling my neck as he whispers.

“I love you, B.” He begins to move, creating a steady rhythm as I thread my fingers through his soft hair. A tear rolls down the side of my face as he kisses me. Our worlds collide once again after the many years of being on separate parts of the earth, and it feels nothing short of phenomenal. It feels right, like this is exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in time. Our bodies move with each other as his lips plant passionate kisses from my jaw to my neck. I place one hand on his chest, feeling the thump beneath his chest matches my own. The pressure continues to rise within me as he hits the sweet spot between my legs over and over again. I bite my lip to stifle a moan when his mouth closes over my nipple. We both let go as we come undone, shattering together. He slumps on top of me, crushing me beautifully with his weight.

“I never stopped loving you.” I sigh into his strong neck. “I tried. I tried so hard... but I couldn’t.” He lifts his head, his familiar ocean-blue eyes burning a tunnel through to my soul.

“You’re it for me,” I admit.

Inever realised howmuch of a large void had grown inside me with Finn’s absence until he returned. I swept my feelings and everything in between under the rug until the rug was no longer inconspicuous. I always knew when we were just kids that Finn was one of the biggest lights in my life, and now I know that light shines brighter than I would have ever imagined.

The sun shines down on the gorgeous backyard at the Mackenzie estate, illuminating almost every blade of grass. I watch a shirtless Finn watering the grass as I stare shamelessly out from the second-story balcony. It’s been a couple of weeks since we slept together for the first time, and ever since then, we can’t seem to keep our hands off of each other.

Finn looks up to the balcony and winks when he catches me staring. I give him a small smile as I relive the past few weeks filled with sex, laughter, and talks of hopes and dreams. I’m yanked from my blissful thoughts as Grace plunges through the door, almost stumbling over her own feet.

“Oh my god, you’re not ready yet?!” Her eyes are bigger than saucers as she stares at me, still dressed in my pjs. I open my mouth to speak, but she doesn’t give me the chance.

“The makeup lady said she’s going to be late, then the hairdresser cancelled at the last minute, and now my best friend is not even dressed for my engagement party!” Her voice is laced with anxiety as she paces the room.

I walk over to her and gently pull her down to the small couch in the room.

“Breathe...” I inhale and motion for her to do the same. Then we both exhale as I push her hair from her face.

“Everything is going to be okay.” I smile.

“I’ve already called the makeup artist. She is ten minutes away, and as for the hairdresser, she just messaged me saying she will be here in half an hour.” Her body visibly relaxes as she slumps back into the couch.

“I don’t know if I can do this.” Her eyes squeeze shut as her hands raise to cover her face.

I gently peel her hands from her face and place them on my lap in mine.

“You can, and you will. You love Michael.”

She sighs. “I do. I love him so much.” She sits up. “But what if I fuck it up again?”
