The days start to blur together.

Not in a bad way. I’m actually enjoying every single one.

I spend most of my time recording. The audiobook’s coming along great. I’m about halfway through. As long as I keep up my current pace, I should finish before the deadline. I finally responded to the author, apologizing for my lack of reply, and letting her know I’m in the process of recording.

I’m loving this one. The story is intense. It might end up being one of my favorites.

It’s about a guy who becomes instantly obsessed with a woman the first time he sees her. He dates her, but she doesn’t realize he’s been slowly infiltrating her life until she’s completely dependent on him. There’s a happily ever after, of course, but the journey is wild.

The guy actually reminds me of Roman, though I doubt Roman would ever be so obsessed with a girl that he’d go this far to keep her. Actually.. .

The heroine’s way too sweet for Roman, anyway. If he ever settles down, it’ll have to be with a woman who can put him in his place. Someone strong enough to handle him. Honestly, he’d probably do well with someone who could kick his ass.

Anyway, it’s a great book. That’s why I’ve been putting so much extra effort into this narration.

Or it’s because you want Matty to like it.

I want all my readers to like it.

You want Matty to enjoy it.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Yes, you do. It’s all you think about when you record spicy scenes.

Regardless, it’s probably my best work yet.

Aside from recording, my life’s fallen back into the rhythm it had before the attack. Matty still wakes me with coffee every morning. We meet for lunch most days, depending on his schedule. We have dinner every evening. And end every night with sex.

I fall asleep in his arms, no longer waiting until I’m asleep to seek him out.

This relationship is real. There’s no denying it anymore. I’ve accepted that. I’ve stopped fighting it.

And really? If I’d known how much better life would be once I gave in to my feelings for Matty, I would’ve done so sooner.

I was right!

Okay, fine. You may have been right.

You should’ve listened to me.

I’m much happier now.

We spend all our free time together. Even Benny has been affected by Matty’s presence. He’s happier. More energetic.

He just needed a daddy.

Stop .

Don’t get me wrong. He still enjoys his daily naps. But he’s more playful now. He bounces around more.

I’m enjoying this life too. This little bubble we’ve built.

But part of me is scared. How much longer will it last? Will he get rid of me once the Bratva issues are resolved?

Because now that I have him…

I don’t know if I will survive without him.
