She dug her nails into his back, sweat glazing both of their bodies, and she kissed him. Hill groaned into her mouth with a primal sound and picked up his pace. The controlled, measured man was letting go. He buried deep and whispered her name, and then they were both launched into the stratosphere together. Clinging to each other, loving each other, promising each other.

Joined. For now. And soon, for always.

Afterward, both of them ended up splayed on their backs on the bed, wrung out and sated, and Andi couldn’t stop smiling. “I feel like I owe you brownies or something.”

Hill laughed and laced his fingers with hers. “That’s how we got into this mess. You brought me baked goods. I never had a chance.”

She pulled his hand up and kissed his knuckles. “I’m glad you opened the door to your pushy neighbor.”

He rolled onto his side and looked down at her. “Best decision I ever made. Even if the brownies were terrible.”

She gasped. “They were not, you food snob.”

He grinned and kissed her. “I still ate every one of them because you had made them.”

She harrumphed, playfully affronted, and he kissed her again. And somehow even though she’d thought she’d been totally spent a few minutes ago, she ended up on top of him and round two began.

She’d never get enough of this man.

Later, when they were finally settled beneath the covers, exhausted and cuddled up naked against each other, Hill tucked her backside against his body. She snuggled into his warmth. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He pressed his face into her hair, his beard tickling her neck as he let out a soft sigh. “God. I can’t believe I get to keep you.”

Andi closed her eyes, a contented calmness she’d searched for her entire life coming over her. She’d never felt so loved.

Sosafe.

And when Hill fell asleep next to her, his arm draped over her, she didn’t get a flashback to a night so long ago when she was trapped beneath another man’s arm. In fact, she didn’t think about the past at all.

All she could see was the bright, beautiful future.
