Those words are the last thing I’m aware of before sleep claims me, still wrapped around the woman who holds my heart.

I wake to sunlight filtering through the curtains and Sandra curled against me, her soft breaths tickling my chest.

Memories of last night flood my mind, and a lazy smile curves my lips. I tighten my arms around her, overwhelmed by tenderness and joy.

She stirs, blinking up at me with a drowsy smile. “Morning.”

“Morning, beautiful.” I brush a kiss over her mouth. “How do you feel?”

She smiles brightly. “Wonderful. You?”

“Same.” I chuckle, shaking my head, before nuzzling her soft, warm neck. “In fact, I was thinking we could pick up where we left off.”

Her eyes gleam with mischief. “Oh yeah?”

“Hmm.” I roll her beneath me, settling between her thighs. “I’m not done with you yet.”

She laughs, the sound turning into a moan as I slide into her. “Then by all means.”

I kiss her deeply, withdrawing slowly only to thrust home again.

I set a leisurely pace, savoring each gasp and whimper I wring from her. Our lovemaking is all at once tender and passionate.

When release washes over us, I cling to her as tightly as she does me, our hearts beating as one. No words are needed in this perfect moment of connection.

After a while, I lift my head to meet her gaze.

“Thank you,” I whisper, caressing her cheek.

Her brow furrows. “For what?”

“For being you. For making me happy.” I press a soft kiss to her lips.

Tears shine in her eyes as she smiles up at me. “Magnus, you’ve made me happier than I ever dreamed I could be, baby.”

My heart swells, overflowing with love for the amazing woman in my arms.

She links her hands at the nape of my neck, drawing me down for another sweet, lingering kiss.

I break the kiss, gazing down at Sandra’s flushed face and disheveled hair. She looks thoroughly ravished, and knowing I’m the cause of her delight fills me with masculine pride.

“You’re beautiful,” I murmur, brushing her cheek.

Her eyes soften as she caresses my cheek.I cradle her face in my hands, overcome by the depth of love and longing in her eyes.

“You’re my forever, Sandra.”

Tears slip down her temples as she smiles up at me. “And you, mine.”

I kiss her then, tender and deep, seeking to convey all the words I cannot voice. She meets me stroke for stroke, her hands tangling in my hair to keep me close.

When at last we part, I rest my forehead against hers, savoring the warm feelings filling my soul.

I could stay like this forever, wrapped up in Sandra’s arms.

She sighs and nuzzles her face into the curve of my neck, her warm breath fanning over my skin. “I don’t want this night to end.”
