Her words seemed to unleash a side of him that he had been holding back. With a growl, he surged into her, sinking himself to the hilt.

Scarlett cried out, but she had no time to gather her wits as he had begun to thrust into her with a steady rhythm. Short, shallow strokes that left her breathless. Deep ones that had her clinging to him, begging for release.

“Hudson… husband… I want…”

She did not quite know what she wanted, only that it was so close. Just a little bit beyond her reach.

“It is yours, my love,” he grunted, his thrusts becoming erratic. “Seize it, little cat.”

His eyes fluttered shut, pain and pleasure flickering across his face. He snapped his hips against hers. Once. Twice.

On the third, they both cried out, their simultaneous release becoming more than just shared pleasure—it became a melding of their souls.

“I love you so much,” he growled into her ear as his hot seed filled her. “I love you so damn much, Scarlett.”

Scarlett pressed a soft kiss to his lips, her arms wrapping around his shuddering frame even as she quivered.

“And I love you, too, Hudson. From now till forever.”

Just a few hours ago, she had all but accepted that he was never going to love her, that she was not enough for him.

Now, she lay basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking, a deep joy and a sense of peace filling her.

She had found it. Foundhim.

And together, they found forever.

The End?
