RYDER

Light falls on my face, making me realize I forgot to close the curtains as it wakes me from the best damn sleep I’ve had since I was a kid. My arms instinctively start to stretch, but I stop myself short when I feel a weight on my right arm. Bella.

I rub my eyes and pull her closer to me, taking a deep breath as I breathe in her sugary scent. I could be forgiven for thinking last night was a dream, but I'm glad as hell it wasn’t. Seeing her asleep beside me causes a golden warmth to spread through my body, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. It's like a weight of darkness has been lifted from my being. I know being in love isn’t a magical cure for all things past, but it sure as hell feels like it in this moment. I'm happier than I've ever been before.

As if she sensed me watching her sleep, her eyes flicker open, and she slowly turns toward me, her mouth forming a sleepy smile. My heart aches at the sight of her, but in a good way.

"Good morning, beautiful. Merry Christmas," I murmur as I kiss the top of her head.

"Mmmm…Merry Christmas, handsome," she yawns. "What time is it?"

“Just after seven.”

Her eyes go wide. "Oh, noooo! My parents! They’re probably freaking out! Last they saw, I went into my room to go to bed. Now I’m gone, and the window is wide open. Oh shit." She jumps out of bed, then rushes for the door. “Wait. Where are my clothes?” She does a frantic search of the room, finding first her nightgown, but struggling to find her panties.

"After these?" I find them right beside the bed and hold up the white cotton with tiny printed Santas all over them. Funny, I didn’t even notice that last night. Too busy taking them off her to pay attention to the details.

“Thank you,” she says, snatching them from my hand and moving to pull them up her legs. I catch her about the waist and drag her back onto the bed.

“Thank you,” I say, pressing my lips against hers before I kiss her with a passion I’ve only ever felt with her.

“Mmm. What are you thanking me for?” she asks, sprawled out on my sheets as she smiles up at me with kiss-swollen lips.

“For giving me the greatest gift of all—hope.”

"What do you hope for, Ryder?”

“I always thought I’d spend the rest of my days alone. But now, I think I’ll spend them with you.”

“You know, I thought that too—for myself. I never expected to find anyone. But now…”

“You want it all?”

“I do. What about you?”

“I do. I want everything there is with you. Love, marriage, kids.”

Her grin gets even broader as she places a hand against my chest. “I want that too,” she whispers as her fingers seem to absentmindedly rub against the smooth skin of my scars.

“Do they bother you?” I ask, catching her hand and bringing her fingers to my lips.
