WARREN

Sometime in the night, Alana and I stir at the same time and fall back into each other.

We lie face-to-face on our sides, with her leg hitched up on my hip as I slowly thrust in and out of her. Driving us wild, making us moan sleepily in a haze that almost feels like we’re dreaming all of this happening. After we come together in the dark, I tuck her back into my body and fall into a deep slumber.

For the first time in years, I wake and don’t immediately haul myself from the bed. With Alana’s hair draped over my arm and the heady scent of our bodies tangling beneath the sheets, I stay right where I am to admire her as her eyes flutter open, becoming conscious of the world. She’s gorgeous, completely natural, and nude, wrapped up in my body. The warmth of her skin catches on mine, the room baked in a golden glow.

It’s the single best moment of my life.

“Morning.” I lean down to kiss her, taking my time as I explore her mouth lazily.

“Morning.” She smiles a megawatt smile, one I’ve realized, over the years, is reserved for times when we’re together.

“I think I want to wake up like this every single day,” I murmur against her lips because I can’t stop tasting them.

“I’d say we have a lot to talk about, but apparently husbands and wives do this all the time, so I guess it’s normal.” She shrugs, bringing her hand up to her face to rub some sleep out of her eyes.

Her rings catch the light, and I take her hand in mine, kissing the diamonds there. “To think, I could have broken the boundaries with diamonds years ago.”

“Hey, I wasn’t the one who set them.” It’s a serious topic we need to discuss, but making it lighthearted feels okay in the morning light. “What do you want to do today?”

She asks the question like we’re just going to gloss right over the fact that we’re best friends who just had sex with each other while fake married, and it’s just so Alana that I burst out into laughter.

This is the woman who swept into her twenty-first surprise birthday party like she knew we’d been planning it for months and just expected us to throw her the bash to end all bashes. Alana’s blunt and keep-it-moving nature is one of the reasons I love her so much.

Love.

Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. But right now, I just want to hold her in this bed a little longer.

“I have to meet with Arthur’s director of business later today. I promised I would during the weekend since we’ve been so busy with getting Lily ready. So I have to run over there at some point, but other than that, I’m yours.” Always will be, but we’ll get to that later.

“What’re you talking about with him?” She stretches, her breasts peeking out from beneath the sheet as it settles on her midriff.

I palm one, unable to help it because I’ve dreamed of being able to touch them with free rein for years.
