Now my fucking heart is pounding like a jackhammer, ready to burst out of my chest.

“What?”

“I love you, you big goof.” She rolls on top of me, rubbing her wet pussy against my erection. “Now make love to me again. I don’t want to fall asleep tonight.”

I grin from ear to ear. “And we shall not. Sleeping is overrated.”

She leans forward, bringing her lovely tits to my face while gyrating her hips. “So overrated.”

I slide into her tight heat, and it’s like coming home.

Leigh is home to me.

35 LEIGH

Iwake up in Keanu’s arms in my own bed. I guess we did fall asleep eventually, even though we tried our best to stay awake. My body is sore in so many spots, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to walk. Having sex all night is better than any cardio session at the gym.

Keanu is still sound asleep, but he’s spooning me and keeping me trapped with his strong arm. I have to pee, so I gently untangle myself from him and slide out of bed. I have no idea what time it is, but I’m barely awake.

Not wanting to wake him, I only turn the bathroom light on when the door is closed. A yawn sneaks up on me, and absentmindedly, I look at my reflection in the mirror. God, my hair looks like a bird’s nest. It’ll take forever to untangle the mess. One good thing about being in Keanu’s body is the low maintenance of having short hair.

Wait a second. I’m not in Keanu’s body. I’m myself again.

I blame the lack of sleep for how long it takes my brain to process the current situation. It’s the next day, and I’m still in my body. My heart kick-starts into overdrive. Could it be?

I forget about peeing and rush back into the room. “Keanu, wake up.”

He sits up on the bed with a start. “What?”

“Look at me.”

He rubs his eyes, then blink fasts as if trying to focus. “Hold on. It’s too dark in here.”

I wait for him to turn on the light on the nightstand and look at me properly. “Besides your smoking-hot bod, what am I supposed to be looking at here?”

“I’m me, and you’re you!”

His brows arch. “Holy fuck! What time is it?”

“No clue, but we didn’t switch back into each other’s bodies.”

He jumps from the bed and opens the curtains. Bright sunlight enters the room, almost blinding me. “It must be close to noon.” He turns to me, smiling like a little kid. “Leigh, I think we did it. We broke the curse.”

I don’t move, afraid that this is nothing but a dream. Keanu walks over and pulls me into a tight hug. “We fucking did it.”

I hug him back and wait to wake up, but it doesn’t happen. I’m still me. I ease out of his embrace and crane my neck to look into his eyes. “Is this real?”

His eyelids lower as he tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “Yes, it’s real, just like my love for you is real. Do you know what that means?”

“You can move back into your apartment?” I tease.

His jaw hangs loose. “You’re that eager to get rid of me?”

I shake my head. “No, silly. I don’t want you to go.”

His lips curl into a grin. “So… are you saying you want me to stay for good?”

My heart skips a beat, but I’m certain of what I feel. “I don’t want to assume you want to move in with me, but if you want to, I guess I’d be okay with that.”
