CHAPTER TWELVE

Liam

I pulled the blanket up around her shoulders when I felt her shiver. “Are you cold? Do you want to go in the cabin?”

“No. You and I are sleeping out here under the stars.” She snuggled in deeper and I closed my arms tighter around her.

We’d been lying here for an hour just watching the stars and bobbing on the soft waves. As much as our moment had exhilarated me and replenished my soul, it had left my stomach tied in knots. Fear of her leaving tore at me.

“Are you okay? You’re quiet,” she said, looking up.

“I’m just enjoying the moment.” I kissed her head, and she made that happy moan I loved. She fit perfectly in my arms and I let my chin rest on her head. Her body wrapped around mine and our legs tangled together.

“Look, our tattoos.” I pointed to our legs twisted together. The sun and the moon lined up where her ankle hit my calf. We’d gotten them in those exact spots for just this reason. When she was wrapped in my arms, we wanted them to mirror each other. Using permanent markers, we’d snuggled up and put an ‘X’ on the spots that lined up as a guide for the tattoo artist. Now they were back together again. “I’m so glad you still have it.”

“Of course, I still have it. I’m glad you have yours. In fact, that was how I knew it was your profile.”

“Really?” I peeked down at her.

“Yep. Make fun of me for using a fake name? You were just as hard to find. You had no public pictures and the only thing I recognized was the sun on your calf.”

“Now I’m even happier we got them. They brought us back together.”

She rubbed her feet down my leg and nuzzled my chest.

“Are my big hard man boobs comfortable?” I asked, trying to suppress my chuckle.

“Liam!”

“Don’t forget to tell Louie we used protection. He’ll be thrilled.”

“Shut up, Liam.” I felt her shoulders shake with the giggle and my smile grew.

“I’ll never get sick of teasing you. I hope you’re ready for a lifetime of torture.”

“You’d better not stop. And it’s not like I don’t have a knack for giving you endless ammo.”

“Remember you told me not to stop the next time I’m tormenting you. I’m holding you to that. Me and my big hard man boobs are, that is.”

“Good God! What have I done?”

Our laughter joined, and she rolled over onto her stomach, resting her chin on hands folded over my chest.

“I’m glad I learned how to sail again.”

“Oh, yeah? Why is that?”

“Well, I have this plan in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, but I was worried I wouldn’t remember how to sail.”

I quirked a brow. “Zombie Apocalypse?”

“Yes. You know how prepared for everything I like to be, and you never know.”

Peeking down at her, I waited for her to tell me she was teasing, but there was no indication on her face. I knew I shouldn’t be surprised. Ellie,
