He groans softly and thrusts in exactly the right spot, making my body shudder beneath him. We move together effortlessly, like our bodies already know exactly what the other needs. Every slow thrust makes me feel more alive than I’ve ever felt in my life.

Being with Caleb awakens something inside me.

Something hopeful.

Something that makes me believe maybe I really can have a happy ending after all.

Because my future is here.

My future is Caleb.

I know that now.

He thrusts deeper again, and a sharp wave of pleasure tears through my core, making me gasp while my back arches off the mattress. My entire body trembles as he kisses me passionately, and suddenly another orgasm crashes into me so hard I see flashes of white behind my eyes. My muscles tighten around him before releasing completely while he keeps moving slowly through it, helping me ride every pulse of pleasure.

“Oh God, Caleb, I love you so fucking much,” I whisper against his lips while digging my nails into his back.

“I’m close, baby,” he groans.

I tighten around him instinctively, wanting him to lose himself with me.

His breathing turns ragged, his thrusts grow faster, and then suddenly, he buries his face into my neck and groans loudly while his body stiffens against mine as he comes.

I run my hands slowly over his back while he rides out his release, holding him close as he trembles above me. Eventually, he relaxes fully against me, breathing hard as we both try to recover.

I slide my fingers into his hair and close my eyes, basking in the warmth and afterglow surrounding us. A smile spreads across my face before Caleb chuckles softly above me.

I open my eyes to find him staring down at me. “What?” I ask.

“Why are you smiling like that?”

My smile widens instantly. “Because I waited six long, disastrous, torturous years for this moment.” I shake my head slightly. “What the hell was I thinking?”

He grins, that gorgeous smile that always reaches his eyes.

“I should’ve been here with you all along,” I whisper. “You make me feel so…”

“Alive?” he asks softly.

I nod immediately. “Exactly.”

“Yeah, baby?”

“Can we just stay here forever?” I ask, only half joking.

His smile softens as he brushes his nose gently against mine. “Indi, for the rest of tonight I’m all yours.” He kisses me softly. “And for the rest of forever too.”

I giggle and kiss him again while he slowly pulls out of me before rolling onto his back and tugging me on top of him. His arms wrap tightly around me, and for the first time in my entire life, I feel completely safe.

Completely home.

I’ve never truly felt like I belonged anywhere before.

But lying here in Caleb’s arms, listening to his heartbeat beneath my ear, I finally understand what home is supposed to feel like.

Home is him.

Home is Caleb.
