Chapter Eight

Reed

“He didn’t even move when I changed him out of his suit.” Jenna closes the door softly, but there’s no chance he’s waking up anytime soon.

I hold my hand out to her and she comes over to where I’m sitting on the couch. This time I don’t have to pull her into my lap, she does it all on her own. The feeling of her body against mine makes me happy in a way I never knew was possible.

“Are you tired?” I ask as she cuddles against me.

“Yes and no.”

“I know the feeling.”

She tilts her head to look back at me, and I kiss her gently for a few moments, just enjoying her being in my arms. But after a long moment reality sets in.

“We have a lot to do when we get back home.” I graze my finger along her chin and she tilts her head towards my touch.

“I’m sure there will be a lot to catch up with at work.” She sighs, and I shake my head.

“That’s not what I mean.”

“What do you mean?” She bites her bottom lip expectantly.

“I mean about you and Lucas coming to live with me. About us being a family.” Her eyes widen, and I rub my thumb along her lips. “When we get back you’re going to live with me and if you want to work, then you can work, but if you want to stay at home, you can do that too. The bakery is yours to run how you like.”

“Reed, I don’t…I mean—”

“I love you, Jenna.” I lean down to kiss her softly before I pull back. “I’ve loved you for a long time, and I’m nothing without you. I’m going to give you the world, and all I ask in return is that you let me live in it with you.” Tears well in her eyes, and I wipe them away. “Just let me love you and Lucas. That’s all I ever want to do.”

“Oh god, I love you too.” She throws herself against me and relief fills my chest. I didn’t realize how worried I was that she might not feel the way I do.

I pick her up and carry her to the other bedroom, then strip us naked. I take my time enjoying her body inch by inch and going slow. We have all night, but we also have the rest of our lives. I want to savor this time we have, but I will never take it for granted.

When I’m finally inside her and her eyes are locked on mine, I feel like a king. She’s more than I ever thought I deserved or dared to wish for. She’s my everything.

We reach our climax at the same time and I have to roll us over so my heavy body doesn't crush her. She’s lying on top of me, sweaty and breathing hard from our exertions, and I smile as I close my eyes.

I feel her kisses across my chest and I hear her whispering words of love.
