Family was what you made it, and I’d made one hell of a good family.
As I settled into bed, teeth brushed, hair in a braid, and warm fuzzy pajamas on, I typed, and erased, and typed again a text to Zach.
Me
Proud of you. Congrats, Zachy. You made it.
Without waiting for a response, I plugged my phone in and prayed for a dreamless sleep.
CHAPTER26
JESSA
Tapping.A steadytap, tap, tap.
No, wait…
That was knocking. At the front door. Had Ali forgotten her keys? Why hadn’t she called me?
I tapped on my phone, but the screen didn’t respond.
Ihadn’tactually plugged my phone in. I had plugged my phonecasein, completely missing the mark.
“Jesus,” I grumbled and tossed the blankets off.
I shuffled through the cold apartment to the front door, trying to make a mental note to dig my slippers out of whatever box or pile they were hidden in.
“Sorry! My phone is dead,” I called as I opened the door to Ali.
Not Ali. ToZach.
“What…” I began, but he gently guided me backward, entering my apartment.
“I wanted to celebrate with you.”
“What?”
He smiled slowly. “I wanted to celebrate withyou, lucky.”
I blinked at him a few times and reached out to grab his arm. It was him; he was really here. In a gorgeous burgundy tailored suit and dress shoes.
“You…drove from New York to…”
“To celebrate with you. All 115 miles so I could be with my girl.”
I didn’t need to think. I tossed my arms around his neck and pulled him toward me. He sighed into our hug, reaching back to press the door closed and lock it.
“Come here,” he coaxed and bent to place a hand at the back of my knees, guiding my legs around his waist.
Kicking off his dress shoes, he carried me through the apartment and into my room, nudging the door closed with his foot. He kissed me, long and hard, as he laid me on the bed. I peeled his clothes off, and he did mine, and we crawled under the blankets. Together.
For the last time.
Zach’s mouth moved over mine, and I guided his cock into me with a mixed groan from the two of us.
“I love you,” he whispered to my lips. “I love you.”
An ache settled in my chest as I admitted how I felt to him. “I love you too.”
