Unable to resist the orgasm-like sounds coming out of her mouth, I kissed the crown of her head. My pulse decelerated a little as I closed my eyes and breathed her in. Every nerve in her body tautened. Could she sense my heartbeat through my lips?

I shook my legs, one at a time, removing the tension in me. Loosening the crotch of my pants. How much longer would I be able to play this game?

My entire body stiffened. I couldn’t take it anymore. From above her head, I ran my hands down April’s arms and laced our fingers. Everything inside me relaxed, except my heart. It throbbed so hard, I feared it’d jump out of my chest. My lips found April’s and fused to hers. The room blurred.

Fairy jerked up and turned around to face me.

“What—? Why—? How—?” She blinked, her lips parted, painted in a light strawberry hue. “What’s happening?” All the color drained from her face. I clenched my teeth, but when April’s lips curled into a smile, I slouched my shoulders forward. I exhaled all the doubts creeping inside me.

My brain turned into a foggy cloud. I hadn’t planned to propose right there, but somehow, I couldn’t stop the words tumbling out of my mouth. Saunders and Sergio tiptoed out of the room. And when I claimed April’s lips, she melted in my mouth and revived me.

I lifted her in my arms, and the white sheet around her body pooled on the floor.

“Carter—”

I silenced her with one more sweep of my tongue.

“Shhh, April. Let me kiss you. You’ve deprived me of oxygen for two weeks. Don’t let me die. Please, bring me back to life.” Her lips curled up against mine.

The next thing I knew, April was in my arms, her legs wound around my waist, her fingers in my hair.

My fingers dug in her ass cheeks as I pulled her closer to me, grinding my hard cock through the black cotton pants against her panties-covered pussy.

Home. April was my home.

The next afternoon, April, Saunders, Taylor, and I were packing April’s apartment. She was coming back to Green Mountain with me. She was coming home.

“I thought you’d call a moving company and get them to deal with all the boxes and heavy lifting.”

“No, woman. We can do this. Riley would die of a heart attack right now if he saw me.” April looped her arms around my neck.

“I love you, Carter Hills. Thanks for doing boring stuff with me.” Her grin woke my body up.

I fished my wallet from my jacket pocket and handed it to Saunders. “Okay guys, use my credit card and go get some food. Anything. I need to have some alone time with my fiancée. ”

Taylor smirked. “You know I already have a card, right?”

“I don’t care, take both.”

Saunders led Taylor outside. “We’ll pick Reed up on our way back, so you sick lovebirds will have a full hour to yourselves. Go be filthy animals.”

I scooped April over my shoulder and padded to her bedroom. Her sweet laughter ignited the alpha in me. I put her down on her feet next to her bed.

“Get naked, woman. I need to show you just how much I’ve missed you again.”

Last night, we barely slept. We made love twice and caught up the rest of the time, facing each other on a pillow, spread naked on the floor, topless in April’s kitchen gulping apple pie, or piled up in her tiny bathtub.

April peeled off her white fluffy shirt and shimmied out of her blue leggings. I undressed before she even had time to unclasp her white-laced bra.

I fisted her hair and devoured her pink-painted lips. My index finger eased inside her. April moaned in my mouth as her warmth clung to my digit.

“Fuck, I can’t believe I’ll get to do this for the rest of my life. You’re mine. All of you.”

I lifted her up and entered another finger inside her, spreading her wetness over her folds. Our mouths never broke apart when, after her first orgasm hit her, I lay April on the bed and thrust inside her. Goosebumps bloomed all over her skin.

“I love you, Carter.” I rammed into her faster. April got stiff underneath me. Her eyes rolled inside her head, and she cried out my name. “Please, love me forever. Never let me go again.”
