Once everything was ready, they sat down to eat, their conversation flowing easily as they talked about their day, their plans for the weekend, and the little things that made up their lives together. Zoey loved these moments. They were so simple and ordinary yet filled with so much love.

As they finished their meal, Zoey leaned back in her chair, looking out the window at the trees surrounding their home. The sky was beginning to darken, the first hints of twilight creeping in. It was a beautiful sight, one that never failed to calm her.

Lux followed her gaze, a soft smile on her lips. “It’s so peaceful here.”

Zoey nodded, reaching across the table to take Lux’s hand. “I’m glad we found this place.”

“Me too,” Lux said, squeezing her hand gently. “It’s home.”

They sat like that for a while, their hands intertwined, the love they shared filling the space between them. Zoey felt a surge of gratitude for everything they had: each other, this home, the life they were building.

Lux suddenly stood up, a mischievous glint in her eye. “How about we dip in the lake before it gets too dark?”

Zoey raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. “Now? You mean right now?”

Lux grinned, her enthusiasm infectious. “Why not? It’s the perfect way to end the day.”

Zoey couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. “You’re impossible, you know that?”

“But you love me for it,” Lux teased, already moving toward the door.

Zoey rolled her eyes playfully but couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. “Yeah, I do.”

She followed Lux outside, the cool evening air wrapping around them as they made their way down to the lake with Bill and Ben running enthusiastically ahead. The water was calm, reflecting the fading light of day. It was a place they often came to when they wanted to unwind, a private sanctuary just for the two of them.

Lux didn’t waste any time, quickly shedding her clothes and wading naked into the water with a carefree laugh. Zoey watched her, her heart swelling with love for the woman who had become her everything. Lux’s nude body was more beautiful than ever, all long lean muscles and beautiful firm breasts. Lux was so full of life, so fearless in her pursuit of happiness, and Zoey couldn’t imagine her life without her.

“Well?” Lux called out, her voice echoing across the lake. “Are you coming in or what?”

Zoey chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief. “You’re crazy.”

“But you love me,” Lux countered, her eyes shining with amusement.

Zoey smiled, warmth spreading through her as she began to undress. “Yeah, I do.”

As she waded into the lake, the cool water enveloping her, Zoey felt a sense of peace settle over her. This was their life now, filled with love, laughter, and the quiet moments that made everything worthwhile.

And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
