As the fireworks continued to dance across the sky, something deep and warm passed between us. My heart soared, skipping beats, and then raced with giddy excitement. The world around us melted away, leaving only the warmth of his presence.
We stood there, hands entwined, basking in the magic of the moment. The cheers and applause faded into the background, and I gazed into his eyes, feeling like I was melting into his happiness. In that instant, everything felt right with the world.
Everything felt right withhimby my side.

The door closed behind us, and the clicks of his shoes echoed as he walked to the kitchen, pulling the fridge open to take out a bottle of water. Quietly, I followed after him, like a puppy, watching his Adam’s apple bob while he chugged down the water. His eyes held mine as he screwed the cap back on and, with two steady strides, covered the space keeping us apart.
My heartbeat and blood roared in my ears when he stood so close.
“Thank you, Egor. For tonight. For my mother, and Zeya, and Ruby.”And John.“I know you were as involved in the planning and preparation as your brother and Arlo were. It was so…so special, and I….” The words died on my tongue when I noticed a flame flickering in his eyes. It was bright, clear, and ferocious.
“You’re welcome.” He reached for my chin, grazed my lower lip with his thumb, and pushed back the locks of my wavy hair behind my ears. “Are you feeling tired?”
His question threw me off-course and lit up a suddenanticipationthat hummed in my veins.
“Uh, no…no, I’m not. Why?”
He inched closer, his fingers covering the length of my throat in a gentle grasp, and the look in his eyes scorched me before his words did.
“I want to fuck you, Freya.”
He called my name with need, desire, something more desperate that we both understood but could not explain. I leaned into his touch.
“I’ve been wanting to rip this dress off all night. You are so fucking beautiful.”
He stuck his thumb in my mouth, and without thinking, I closed my lips on it, sucked, and batted my lashes as I peered up at him.
He tugged on my jaw, opened my mouth, and brushed his lips on the corner of mine. “I want to fucking kiss you, wife.”
“And you’re still talking.”
He didn’t wait—didn’t pause to think. Didn’t even breathe.
His mouth covered mine, kissing me with the hunger of a starved predator, all caution thrown to the wind. He cupped my chin, prying my mouth open with his fingers to deepen the kiss, to taste my tongue with his. I moaned loudly into his mouth, driven delirious with an insane need to have every inch of this man in every way I could.
I grabbed the collar of his shirt, stood on my tiptoes, and fought equally to show him how much I wanted him. He staggered from the force of the impact but gripped my waist to steady us both.
I pulled back, only to trail kisses from his lips and neck to his jawline. I sucked on his pulse, and his deep, husky groans vibrated through my entire body, causing a slow-building warmth to spread to my core.
His fingers went into my hair and down my back and were suddenly everywhere. He slipped an arm under my dress, cupped my ass, squeezed, and smacked.
I yelped, and he drove me more insane with that rich, velvety laugh of his.
“I love it when you laugh,” I blurted against his mouth before I could stop myself, and his eyes turned serious again, his kisses slowing down.
“And you drive me crazy, Freya.”
My breath hitched, a different kind of tingle shot through my body, and John’s voice floated in my head.
But he’s crazy about you. Literally.
“I’m taking you on the counter. And it’s going to be quick.”
He rasped with urgency, fiery passion, and need when he hoisted me from the floor, hooking my ankles at the base of his spine when he sat me on the counter.
He latched one hand on my breast and squeezed through the downy fabric. My nipple peaked in his palm, and my breaths grew ragged when he watched me closely. I held my bottom lip between my teeth to muffle my sighs when he skillfully unzipped his slacks with his free hand and shrugged them down to knee level.
