D ays later

“You know, I think from now on we have maple syrup with everything.” I said whilst dipping my potato chips in a pot of it, making Jared chuckle.

“Baby, you had it drizzled over fucking pizza yesterday, what you gonna do next, dip me in it?” Jared teased making me laugh.

“Oh, like you would mind, not when I get to lick it off you.” I said before crunching the chip in my hand, doing so right in front of his face and making him groan as I moaned around my fingers.

“Fuck me Red, you trying to put me in a sex induced coma, cause I ain’t gonna complain.” he replied making me giggle. Because, yeah, since saving me, we had spent most of our time in bed.

But as of right now, instead of doing these sticky, licky things, I snuggled in closer and looked at the screen. Because it turned out, we made that date after all. In fact, we would have had it a lot sooner, had the turbulent events after he saved me not taken a day to get over.

Gods but there had been so much to process for us both, but nothing was compared to the utter relief at surviving it all. The relief to all of my family and everyone who cared. All of whom, even for a short time, had mourned me.

And in the end, all it had cost me was my little finger. One that would forever be a reminder of everything I loved in my life. Most of all, the man lying next to me in our bed. A bed that looked like a junk food massacre had happened.

But as for the future, then that was looking more than bright.

It was actually blinding!

Because not only had we won the war and saved the world. We also had a wedding to plan and a baby to look forward to. Something that had felt like a gift at the end of all we had endured.

All the pain and suffering we had been through, all of it meant appreciating the life we now had to live for. And I for one couldn’t wait for every second of it.

So, with Jared’s hand at my belly and my heart full of love, I knew that in the end, it had all been worth it.

Worth falling in love with my HellBeast King as now,

I was eternally…

A HellBeast’s Queen.

The End.
