“I’m sorry, Asp.” I touched my nose to hers. “I’m really sorry.”
“Thank you.”
“I haven’t asked you, but how are you emotionally?”
She wrapped her legs around my hips. “I’m sad, but I’m in the camp that it wasn’t meant to be. Millions of women miscarry during the first trimester. It’s a lot more common than some realize. I have more guilt because I didn’t want to be tied to Casso for the rest of my life. Like maybe my negative feelings about the baby caused me to lose it.”
I shook my head. “No. That’s not what happened. I know you would’ve been the best mom in the entire world.”
She smiled softly. “You always could make me feel better. When we were together, you made me feel like the most amazing person to ever live.”
“Because you are, Snow. To me, no one can hold a candle to you.”
“Thank you for that mind-numbing orgasm. I’m so relaxed.”
“Yeah?” I nibbled her lips. “Too relaxed for more?”
“Oh, hell no. I want lots more. But are you sure about no condom?”
We’d talked at length about this. We were both clean. I had always worn a condom when I had sex, but I didn’t want to with Aspen. I wanted to feel all of her without a barrier. Her concern was getting pregnant. I wasn’t worried. I’d be thrilled if I knocked her up.
But if she was unsure, I’d wear one. “Want me to dig one out of my wallet?”
She bit her bottom lip. “I could get pregnant.”
I dropped a kiss on her lips. “Then we’d run off to Vegas for one of those Elvis ceremonies.”
She laughed, snorting a little as she scrunched up her freaking adorable nose. “I remember when we talked about that the night before you left for boot camp.”
“Do you also remember I asked you to marry me?”
Her eyes shimmered. “Yes.”
“I still want to marry you.” I eased into her, holding my breath because she was fucking tight. Since we left the cabin, it’d been a marathon of reconnecting and discovering not a lot had changed. We still liked the same comedies and music. Made each other laugh. Talked into the night, curled in each other’s arms. Despite the years apart, it was like no time had passed. We didn’t skip a beat, now that we were together again.
She gasped, gripping my biceps. “Oh my God, you’re huge.”
“Words every man dreams of hearing.”
She threw her arms around my neck, laughing against my lips. “Seriously, I think you grew bigger.”
“Keep stroking my ego, baby. I love it.” I pulled out a little and slid back in. Out and back in. Repeating the same until I moved easily inside her. I didn’t want to rush our first time, but damn, it felt incredible to be inside her again.
Aspen caressed my shoulders, moving her hips to meet mine. When I dropped my gaze, the look of lust in her green depths stole the air from my lungs. She was so beautiful watching me, amazement on her face. I could tell she felt as in awe as I did.
We were finally one hundred percent back together. Something I’d dreamed about more times than I could count.
When we find the love of a lifetime, it lasts a whole fucking lifetime, even when we’re not together.
I bent my arms on either side of her, holding myself up. Swirling my hips, I enjoyed her warmth surrounding me. Not just my cock deep inside her. The aura Aspen exuded. It was fresh, loving, playful… everything I’d been missing.
My Snow.
My forever and ever.
“You can get moving, Z. I think I might come again just having you in me.”
For real, she was pulsing. Grinding her little clit against me, desperate for another release.
