Andrew quirked an eyebrow at his daughter, not wanting to ask why. He already felt like the luckiest man alive.

Olivia gave him another eye roll. “Daddy, I will have the best costumes always!”

Everyone laughed, and Andrew watched as Ana pulled Olivia in close.

“Me too?” Skylar asked.

Ana opened her arms to Olivia’s best friend. “Yes, you are too.”

Damian and Star stayed for a drink before making their excuses and heading off. They were going shopping for baby items, Star’s excitement palpable.

After they left, Andrew knelt next to Olivia. “What did Skylar say to you on the stairs?”

Olivia grinned at him and tapped her nose. “That’s my secret,” she said.

Later that evening, after they put Olivia to bed, Andrew and Ana snuggled up on the sofa, watching a movie.

“Hmm, this is nice,” Ana said, snuggling deeper into his chest.

“It is,” Andrew said, dropping a kiss on her nose.

Ana tilted her head up. “Can I let you into a secret?” she said seriously.

“Of course.” Andrew’s heart hammered in his chest.

“Every time we used to watch a movie together. I used to imagine what it would be like curling up next to you.”

Andrew pulled Ana up until she was straddling his lap. “Is that all you imagined?”

Ana gave him a coy smile. “Oh no,” she said, gently rocking her pelvis backwards and forwards against his growing erection. Andrew moaned and pulled her mouth down to his. “I have a very vivid imagination,” she stated in between kisses.

Ana squealed as Andrew flipped them over so she was lying beneath him. “Did your imagination run along these lines?” he said, burying his head in her neck and kissing his way down to her shoulder.

Ana dropped her head back, giving him better access. As he rocked his hips against her core, Ana moaned, the sound shooting pleasure straight through Andrew’s chest. “This is so much better than my imagination,” Ana said breathlessly, holding his head to her.

Andrew made swift work of removing their clothes, thankful that his daughter was a heavy sleeper. He slid deep into Ana’s body, revelling how she gripped and squeezed him. He could never get enough of this woman. She had quickly become his life. Their bodies craved one another. It was like they had lit a fuse in each other. Andrew felt Ana’s body crest beneath him, drawing him down. It was only then that he allowed himself to follow her into the abyss.

Epilogue

Ana

Eighteen months later

Ana stood with her key near the lock.

“Shhhh... she’s here.”

Ana smiled to herself at the sound of Olivia’s voice. When Ana pulled up, the nine-year-old had been poking her head around the curtain in the sitting room. Ana pretended she hadn’t noticed her, as it was obvious she hadn’t wanted to be seen.

Ana took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Surprise!”

Guests filled the downstairs of their house, but Olivia’s voice was the loudest. Millie and George stood to the side, and Ana raised an eyebrow at them. How had they made it there before she had? They’d left university at the same time as her. Today they had graduated. No more lectures. They were heading out into the big, wide world to earn a living. Well, she and Millie were setting up their own online business. Who knew making costumes and designing her own clothes would have become so lucrative?

Olivia stepped forward and pulled Ana into the house. “Look, Ana, everyone has come to celebrate you finishing.”
