“Stop,” he ordered. “You can be whoever you want to be. If you love me, that’s all I could ever ask of you and I’ll take whatever you have to give.”
Alyx couldn’t believe this conversation. Truthfully, she’d never felt so strongly about anyone the way she did Daniel. She realized she’d never been in love before and wasn’t even looking for it.
But now, here he was, professing his love for her and her heart suddenly broke free from its shackles.
They stared into each other. The eyes truly were windows. Emotions welled up.
“Besides,” Daniel added. “I’m terrible at this relationship stuff, and my guess is you suck at it, too. So, we’re perfect for each other. Let’s figure it out as we go along.”
Epilogue
The Caribbean sunshine warmed Alyx’s skin but the heat from Daniel’s hands scorched her as he rubbed coconut oil over her back. His thumbs dug into her shoulder blades as he merged his sunscreen duties with a mini-massage. She purred. Would she ever not react this way to his touch? She hoped not. Three months had passed, her injuries healed, albeit slowly, and she hadn’t exactly been the model patient. The first day back at Daniel’s seaside abode she’d been noncompliant and Lydia had ratted her out: forgetting to take her medication—complaining it made her head fuzzy, sleeping all day, not showering, and barely eating. Daniel had resorted to taking off an entire week to personally attend her, religiously applying the healing salve to her back and practically force-feeding her food and painkillers. He finally convinced her that she should channel her stubbornness into healing not burying her head in the pillow. She knew he was right. What had happened to her formerly fearless self? Eventually it retuned, after long walks and the security of Daniel’s affection for her. The giant diamond solitaire on her finger a testament of his love.
Daniel had whisked her away on a private jet for a well-deserved vacation. Unconventional, the honeymoon before the wedding. But then they were writing their own rules, forging their own way. In everything. He laced up the back of her red bikini and slapped her ass, making her yelp. “There,” he announced. “Sufficiently lubricated.”
“You’re hilarious,” Alyx said, rising and repositioning herself on the magenta canvas lounger. “You want me to do you?”
Daniel widened his eyes. “Are you hitting on me, Ms. Cameron?”
“Sue me,” she said. They both laughed.
“Well, we’re going to have some playtime tonight. I brought lots of toys. Good thing we were on a private jet because I’d never have made it past security with that shit.” His questioning expression and devilish smile sizzled her blood.
The noon sun announced the official onset of cocktail time and Daniel suggested a drink. Three rum punches later, Daniel said, “I think we should eat something.”
“So sensible, Dr. Taylor. That’s why I need you to take care of me.” Her phone rang and she rummaged through her tote to retrieve it. “Hey, Rob, what’s up?”
“Sorry to bother you on vacation, but I just received the okay for a new task force on human trafficking. I need somebody to head it. You interested?”
Alyx hesitated. She glanced at Daniel. They’d already agreed that after the wedding next month he’d pull out of his Hampton Shores office and limit himself to the Manhattan office. The beachside mansion would serve as their getaway spot. Their new apartment on Park Avenue was being furnished while they were away and she was ready to return to work. But she hadn’t anticipated anything like this. The idea of having the chance to track down and incarcerate more of these evil people ignited her passion for the job again. During their recent months together Alyx had discovered how much she and Daniel had in common. Both stubborn, of course, kinky in the bedroom, but also committed to the mission of saving lives, each in their own way. “I think I am,” she said to Rob.
“You had me worried for a moment. You took too long to answer.”
“Sorry, vacation brain, and I’m three rum punches in.” Alyx laughed.
“Maybe I should call back tomorrow morning when you’re sober,” Rob said.
“No! I’m in. Definitely. Thanks for the offer.”
“Great, I’ll let Merryl know. See you in a few weeks.”
Alyx stowed her phone in her beach bag. Daniel peered at her, a little too seriously. She related her conversation with Rob and Daniel exclaimed, “That’s incredible. I’m so happy for you. I’m glad to see the Bureau appreciated your hard work.”
“Yeah, me too. I’m really excited about this.”
“You should be.” He took both of her hands in his, thumbing the sparkling rock on her finger. “I think we’ve got this new life worked out. Do you?”
“I do,” Alyx said.
“And that will be the happiest day of my life, Special Agent Cameron. The day you say that at the altar.”
He stood, taking her with him and secured her hand tightly in his. “Let’s eat. I’m starved.”
The End
Kendra Greenwood
Kendra Greenwood has always been a storyteller. She often told stories to her kids at bedtime in lieu of reading to them. A serious daydreamer, she used to think it the complete opposite of her education and work in the sciences, but now realizes scientists are the ultimate daydreamers. Fantasy has always been an escape for Kendra. Weaving a thrilling romantic tale around her favorite TV and film characters, her favorite way to fall asleep at night. Eventually she wrote them down and found a place to share her stories.
Kendra grew up on the beaches of Long Island’s bucolic east end, but recently relocated to Virginia. When she’s not writing you can find her in the kitchen whipping up something scrumptious or in the studio fusing glass into decorative dishes.
