Slowly he rocked his hips. “I love you, Mrs. Tanaka.”
The rain began to pick up, and our hair became heavy and matted to our skin. We were entwined and breathing hard and slow. I wanted to drown in the storm that was Ashton Tanaka.
My husband…
He was never going to let me go.
He loved me.
Ashton began to pick up speed, and I held his face in my own and he braced himself above me. The white pool chair hadn’t been made for all of this. It threatened to break under the weight of us but I prayed we would find our release before that happened.
“Sakura, I belong to you…”
His eyes closed tight as he gave his final thrust. Ashton and I reached our climax together, dizzy and strong. My walls clenched taking in every single inch of him as he spilled inside of me.
We lay there spent and tired as the rain beat down against us. Ashton had eased off to the side of me and we stared at each other. Thunder crashed and boomed nearby once again rattling the ground.
“I worry about losing you,” he admitted.
“Never,” I whispered. “But we should definitely get inside this storm is going to get crazy.”
The two of us collected the clothing that we could find before sprinting into the house soaking wet. We laughed as we stood in the kitchen, shivering before our mouths crashed together.
“You move into my bedroom permanently tonight,” Ashton pulled me in close offering his body heat.
“Our bedroom,” I smiled.
Quietly, hand in hand, Ashton and I started up the stairs to our bedroom. We’d peek in on the girls in a bit but for now, I wanted to snuggle him. Give him reassuring kisses while we made slow passionate love a few more times.
I had never felt safer than I did when I was in the arms of my husband, a man who was the heir to a Yakuza fortune.
I no longer needed to run from anything.
And if I did, his arms were waiting.

EPILOGUE
HALO
Months later...
Leaves from an oak tree fluttered in the wind, and the sky appeared to be overcast and grey. It was something about Fall that I loved. Maybe it was because my mother had loved fall and it was something that made me feel close to her at a certain point in the year.
I still missed her deeply and wished that she was still here with me. Some days, I imagined she was checking in on me just to see what I was doing. I hoped that I was making her proud.
Adjusting the rearview mirror, I found Maggie and her zigzag pigtails.
She sat bopping along in the backseat to music in her Air Pods as turned into the school parking lot.
I smiled at her in the mirror when she realized we had arrived at our destination. She had discovered some pop classics like N’SYNC and the Backstreet Boys and my little heart ached to know which one she thought was better.
“Do you think we’re going to win this?” Her face had turned serious as she put her airpods away. Sometimes she could be the most serious little girl I’d ever met, as if she’d been here before.
“I think we have a strong chance,” I smiled.
They were having a Halloween carnival at school and Maggie was determined to with the B.Y.O.P. contest.
