She collapses on top of me, and I wrap my arms around her. Holding her close, I press soft, gentle kisses to her lips, her cheeks, and her neck.

“I love you, baby,” I whisper the tender words as a caress against her skin. “Forever and always. You’re mine, and I’m yours. Nothing will ever change that.”

Lying on my chest, I can feel her heartbeat—steady and strong—matching the rhythm of my own. In this moment,I am complete, my world centered around the woman in my arms. My love. My everything.

I trace lazy patterns on her back, my fingers exploring the soft, smooth skin as I hold her close. Reese sighs contentedly, her body melting into mine as she peppers soft, gentle kisses to my chest, her lips warm and smooth against my skin.

“Daddy,” she murmurs, her voice a soft, sleepy whisper. “I love you so much.”

I smile, my heart swelling with love and pride as I hold her tighter, my arms a safe, protective cage around her. Rolling onto our sides, we nuzzle chest-to-chest. Her eyes flutter closed as she drifts off to sleep, her body trusting and secure in my arms. I watch her, my heart full to bursting as I marvel at the beauty and perfection of the woman who captured my heart and soul.

With a soft, contented sigh, I close my eyes, letting sleep claim me. My body and soul are sated and complete, my heart full of love and devotion for the one woman who has always held it in her hands.
