“Do you understand, Aubrey? You’re mine. No one else’s.”
I understand. I’ve never understood anything this much in my life. It makes sense. It fits perfectly. That missing puzzle piece is hovering over my half-naked body. He releases my arms, and I wrap my hands around his thick neck, just like when he saved me. He’s pulled me out of the endless water and placed me on top. He trails a steamy path of kissing along my neck before stopping at my ear.
“I love you, Tanner,” I whisper.
“You have no idea how good it is to hear that.”
I do know. I don’t just know… I feel it. It fits. “Kiss me, Tanner.”
And he does.
The End
