We lie in postcoital bliss beneath pink paper lanterns, meadow flowers,
and fairy lights that twinkle in the rafters. As my breathing slows, I
hold Anastasia close. She’s sprawled all over me, her cheek against my chest,
her hand resting on my racing heart. The darkness is absent, driven out by
my dream catcher…my fiancée. My love. My light.
Could I be happier than I am right now?
I commit the scene to memory: the boathouse, the soothing rhythm of the
lapping waters, the flora, the lights. Closing my eyes, I memorize the feel of
the woman in my arms, her weight on top of me, the slow rise and fall of her
back as she breathes, her legs entwined with mine. The scent of her hair fills
my nostrils soothing all my corners and jagged edges. This is my happy
place. Dr. Flynn would be proud. This beautiful woman has consented to be
mine. In every way. Again.
“Can we marry tomorrow?” I whisper near her ear.
“Hmm.” The sound in her throat reverberates with a soft strum across my
skin.
“Is that a yes?”
“Hmm.”
“A no?”
“Hmm.”
I grin. She’s spent. “Miss Steele, are you incoherent?” I sense her
answering smile and my joy erupts in a laugh, as I tighten my arms around
her and kiss her hair. “Vegas, tomorrow, it is then.” She raises her head, eyes
half closed in the soft light from the lanterns—she looks sleepy yet sated.
“I don’t think my parents would be very happy with that.” She lowers her
head and I skim my fingertips across her naked back, enjoying the warmth of
her sleek skin.
“What do you want, Anastasia? Vegas? A big wedding with all the
trimmings? Tell me.”
“Not big. Just friends and family.”
“Okay. Where?”
She shrugs, and I’m guessing she hasn’t thought about it.
“Could we do it here?” I ask.
“Your folks’ place? Would they mind?”
I laugh. Grace would leap at the chance. “My mother would be in seventh
heaven.”
“Okay, here. I’m sure my mom and dad would prefer that.”
So would I.
For once we’re in agreement. No arguing.
Is this a first?
Gently, I stroke her hair, that’s a little mussed from our spent passion. “So,
we’ve established where, now the when.”
“Surely you should ask your mother?”
“Hmm. She can have a month, that’s it. I want you too much to wait any
longer.”
“Christian, you have me. You’ve had me for a while. But okay, a month it
is.” She plants a tender kiss on my chest and I’m grateful that the darkness
remains quiet. Her presence is keeping it at bay.
“We’d better head back. I don’t want Mia interrupting us like she did that
time.”
Ana laughs. “Ah, yes. That was close. My first punishment fuck.” She
grazes my jaw with her fingertips and I roll over, taking her with me, and
pressing her into the deep-pile rug on the floor.
“Don’t remind me. Not one of my finest moments.”
