“You okay?”

She touched my cheek and smiled. “Yes.”

“Are you happy, Zoe?”

She laughed. “It’s your birthday—I should be the one asking you that.”

I just continued with my questioning. “Do I make you happy? Does our life make you happy?”

Her brows drew together and then she was climbing onto my lap, holding my face in her hands.

“Where is this coming from?”

“Just want to make sure.”

Her hands moved to my shoulders and she settled down more comfortably on top of me, earning a small grunt and groan from me.

“I never thought I could be this happy,” she whispered.

“Do I give you everything you want?”

“Yes, you idiot, and so much more. I would’ve been happy with just you—”

I cut her off. “Deliriously happy.”

“Yes, deliriously happy, but look at everything you’ve given me. I love our family so much. I love you so much, Dylan Reed. I’m so happy I barged in on you in that bathroom and saw your glorious cock.”

“Glorious, yes—good word choice.” We laughed together as I caressed her back. “And your little family loves you back, especially me. I love you the most, baby. I’m your biggest fan. However, you missed our breakfast this morning, so clearly I’ve been worrying. I could barely do my push-ups without your eyes on me. Don’t make it a habit, my little pervert.”

My dick was already hardening under her, and with the smile she gave me, I lost the battle.

“I was getting our daughter ready.”

“And that’s the only reason I didn’t come get you so you could stare at me.”

Holding my neck, she rested her forehead against mine, our lips almost touching.

“Am I too weird for you? You always make fun of my quirks.”

“Quirks? Oh, is that what we’re calling them now?”

I held her butt in my palms and pulled her a little forward then pushed a little back. Thanks to her short skirt, she could feel all of me. Her eyes closed on their own and she bit her bottom lip.

“I’m stuck with you so…I guess I’ll make do?” I smirked and she chuckled.

Ever since the first day I met her, she’d never seen her own perfect, but that was okay. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere; I’d be right next to her to show her every day for the rest of our lives.

It’s hard to explain what draws you to a person, what it is about them that makes them so special that you give them your heart. I believe it’s all about who you are together, how you are together. It’s simple, what I feel for her—simple, and the most powerful thing in the world.

We chose each other, and we’d keep choosing each other long after we took our last breaths on this earth.

Zoe Clarke was my forever, the love of my life, and I was hers.

THE END.
