“That’s one, baby. Five more to go.”
“But this is the only one that matters,” she says.
“We’ll see when we get the others.”
She sighs and kisses me hard. “You followed me to Sterling and you’ve done nothing but work hard and help me pay for school. I wouldn’t have been able to afford school without you. So no, Niko, the others don’t matter when you’re happy here.”
With my finger, I brush her bangs from her eyes. “I’ll be happy anywhere. As long as I’m with you.”
The letter and envelope drop to the floor as she turns and stands, rising one leg over mine to sit straddling me. She kisses my lips and I kiss her back, desperately. My hands are in her hair, grazing over her body before clutching her swollen breasts. My cock stirs and pushes against my jeans. I’m done with this conversation. University talk will have to wait. I unbutton her blouse and when I see the long scar on her chest, I still. Every time I see it I’m reminded of the night I almost lost her. I kiss it tenderly while she slides her fingers through my hair.
“Hey,” she says, touching my chin and tugging my head up. “I’m right here. And I’m never going anywhere. Not ever.”
I rest my head on her collarbone and sigh. “That makes two of us, baby.”
