The cellar door closes with a click and with only the dim illumination, Carter’s brooding frame takes up too much of the light.

“I can manage to grab a bottle,” I tease him and make my way to the back of the cellar and to the right. The wine cellar is far too much, with four rows of wine lining the aisles from floor to ceiling and a bricked floor made to look worn, hints of brown matching the dark wood and iron accents in the space that’s much larger than most bedrooms. I love it though.

“You could,” Carter starts as I round the back corner, aiming for a section of Cabernet that Addison and I are both fond of. My breathing halts when I see the cream throw blanket laid out on the floor. Two glasses of red are already poured, waiting next to the blanket and chocolate covered strawberries are piled in a balanced stack on a silver tray. “Or we could make the most of tonight.”

Carter’s whispered answer forces me to turn from the scene and stare up at the man I love so dearly.

Taking one step closer to me, he asks, “Do you remember that spot? When you were first here and what you told me, drunkenly as you stared up at me wanting things to change?”

Tears prick my eyes and I shake my head. I try not to remember those times if I’m honest. I don’t tell Carter that, I only shake my head. It’s not often my Beast turns into a Prince. This is so unexpected, so sweet and it takes me by complete surprise.

“I don’t.”

An asymmetric smile picks his lips up, “It doesn’t matter, really, what matters most is that I never wanted you to leave. And now I have you forever.”

Shaking off the wave of emotions, I gaze into his dark eyes watching the flecks of gold that brighten when I smile up at him. “Forever and always,” I whisper as I get on my tiptoes to plant a kiss on his lips.

There’s a groan that escapes when I lean back just slightly. A deep sound of approval but also of want.

“Lay on your back and close your eyes,” he gives the command with his own eyes closed. Restraint showing in the way he lets go of me and his body goes still, waiting for me to obey.

I don’t hesitate, quickly finding my spot on the already smoothed out throw blanket. With a slight chill in the air, my nipples are already hardening. I’m careful not to knock the glasses or tray as I lay down, and wait.

Anticipation rolls through me, from my toes up to my neck and then higher, forcing my breathing to come in faster.

“Dessert tonight is going to be exquisite,” Carter comments as he pulls the button-down shirt over his head, only unbuttoning the first few. He’s eager. In past times he’s made me watch as he’s undone every button, showing off his taught skin and muscles that coil beneath the expensive fabrics of his shirts and suits.
