She nods, and tears form in her eyes. “But it’s not real.”
“Does this feel real?” I rock my hips into her pussy. “Does this feel real?” I bend my head and kiss her soft lips. Keeping one hand braced on the bed, the other takes her hand and places it over my heart. “Does this feel real?”
“Chad—”
I rock my hips again, and she arches her back. “Real,” I tell her. Lowering my head, I capture her lips with mine, this time kissing her with everything I’ve got. By the time I pull away, we’re both panting. “So fucking real,” I murmur, kissing her again. “And this.” I tap my hand over hers that’s still resting over my heart. “It beats for you. Only you.”
She blinks a few times, trying to clear her eyes from the tears. “I don’t understand.”
She does understand. I can see the hope in her eyes. They’re not just filled with hope; there is love shining back at me. I fucked up. I should have told her before I left, but that’s all right. I’m going to fix it.
Climbing off the bed, I offer her my hand.
“What are you doing?”
“Humor me, baby.”
She does as I ask, placing not only her hand, but her trust in me as she allows me to help her stand from the bed as well. I hold her hands in mine and stare into her eyes.
“You’re beautiful.” Her eyes soften. Wrapping my arms around her, I hug her tight. My heart feels as though I just ran a mile as fast as I could go. Stepping back, I drop to my knees. Not just one, both.
“What are you doing?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“You’re my best friend. You’re the most important person in my life. You’re my wife.”
“Chad—”
“My love for you is infinite. It will never waver, and it can only grow stronger. This is our home, Faith, but what you don’t realize is that you are my home. I don’t care where we live as long as you’re next to me. I want all your days and all your nights.” Leaning in, I place a kiss on her belly. “I want to make a family with you. I want it all. I want my wife.”
A small sob falls from her lips, but I keep going. I need her to understand.
“Mrs. Faith Anthony, will you do me the incredible honor of marrying me—again? We’ll do it right, baby. We’ll have the big wedding and the beautiful gown, all the guests, the wedding party, the reception, the honeymoon—all of it. I want to give you what I couldn’t before. I want to give you the world. You already have all of me.”
She tugs on my hands, and I stand. With my thumbs, I wipe the tears from her cheeks, but they continue to fall. “I wouldn’t change any of it. Not a minute. It’s our story, husband.”
I smile at that, and in turn, so does she.
“I don’t need another wedding. I don’t need a fancy dress or a big reception. I don’t need the honeymoon. I just need you. You are all I’ve ever wanted. You are my world. You have all of me. My love for you is infinite.”
“You’re mine, Mrs. Anthony. Where you go, I go. I have a few years left in my contract, but after that, I want out. I know there’s a pretty good chance during that time, I’ll have to leave you again. However, after that, never again. It’s you and me, baby.”
Her smile lights up her face. “You are my greatest gift.”
“Yeah? You feeling up to another one?”
“All I need is you.”
“Well, you’re in luck. I’m giving you me.” I step back and pull my shirt over my head, tossing it to the floor. Her eyes rake over my body, and my cock has never been this hard. “I want to make love to my wife.”
“What are you waiting for?” She starts stripping out of her clothes, and all I can do is stand back and watch the show. “Too many clothes, husband. Strip.”
“Yes, ma’am.” I strip out of the rest of my clothes quickly. Reaching down, I grip my cock, squeezing the base. “It’s a good thing you’re already mine. This is about to be embarrassing.”
She giggles. “We have a lifetime, right?”
“Damn right.” Bending, I grip the back of her thighs, and she wraps her arms and legs around me. I stand frozen for just a minute, relishing the feel of her skin against mine. Reaching between us, I rub my thumb over her clit to find her wet. “You’re ready for me.” I take a seat, feeling her heat hover over me.
“Please.”
“Please, what, baby?”
“Take the ache away.”
“Anything for my wife.” Gripping my cock, I guide myself inside her. She pushes down, and we both moan at the feeling of being one after all the months we spent apart.
