Her hands go to my ass and she pulls me deeper and holds me there. I grind against her and she cries out as my cock throbs inside of her. She clenches around me and I hold still while she wiggles her pussy on me and gets off.
“Reed!” she cries, and it echoes over the water.
The sun shines down on us as my orgasm hits and I cum inside her waiting body. It’s so hard and fast, but we’re connected in such an absolute way that it feels like we’ve been in this moment forever. Time stands still when I’m with her and this quiet moment of our shared love is just another way she stops the world for me.
“I love you,” I say, rubbing my nose against hers and kissing her lips softly.
“I love you more.” She smiles and I shake my head.
“Impossible.”
We end up rolling around and arguing over who loves who the most and I finally settle it when I jump in the water while holding her. She agrees to let me win if only for a moment, but I’ll take it. She might have known about me watching her, but she can’t possibly know what I felt for her the second I saw her. Or what I feel for her today. It’s beyond words. But Jenna and our babies are my soul and I’m whole because of them.
It’s the perfect day together and one of many more to come. Because that’s what we’ve got in front of us…forever.

THE END!
Bonus… Lovely Proposal
Renee
I’m silent in the car on the way home as I look out the window and watch the buildings pass by. I feel Dani reach over and grab my hand but I don’t turn to look at her. I just close my eyes and savor her touch.
“They’re safe,” she says softly, and I nod but don’t speak. “It’s going to be okay.”
I swallow hard and nod again, but I can’t make myself look at her. Not yet.
The car pulls up to our building and I get out first then turn around and hold out my hand. I help Dani from the car as she thanks the driver and we walk inside. I’m silent as she greets the doorman, Edward, and Terese, our receptionist. We’ve lived together in this building for the past year and she could probably tell you every single detail about all the people that work here.
Danielle is perfect like that. She never meets a stranger, always remembers little details and things people like. She’ll bake a cake and give it to our neighbor just because they mentioned they had something to celebrate last week. She’s thoughtful and giving and always has a smile waiting for anyone who speaks to her.
I hold her hand tighter as we take the elevator to the top floor. She leans against my side as if trying to share some of her warmth, and that’s Dani. She would give everything she had to me to make me happy and I’m the selfish asshole that won’t stop taking it.
When we walk inside our home, I go over to the table next to the door and I take my keys out of my pocket. I should put them down but I squeeze the metal into my palm until the sharp bite digs into me. I don’t look up but I hear when she stops walking and I feel her eyes on my back.
“Renee, talk to me. You haven’t spoken a word since we left your brother’s house.” There’s pleading in her voice but I’m holding on by a thread. “Don’t do this, don’t shut me out.”
“You think that’s what I’m doing?” Pain slices through me and I turn around to face her. “My brother almost lost the woman he loves.”
“Renee—”
I throw the keys across the room as hard as I can and they make a loud clatter against the wall, cutting her off. “Goddamn it, Dani, I can’t lose you.”
“Lose me?” She takes a step closer and I clench my hands, wishing I had something else to throw. “What are you talking about?”
“That’s all I kept thinking the whole time we were there. The police, the arrest, seeing Devin and Erin holding one another. I just kept thinking what if that was you. What if I lost you?”
Tears sting my eyes as she walks closer and shakes her head. “I’m not going anywhere.”
“You’re too damn good for me.” I look away from her and then feel her soft fingers against my cheek. “I don’t deserve you.”
“You’re right,” she says, and when I cut my eyes at her she’s smiling. “You really are lucky to have me.” She’s trying to tease me out of my bad mood and I don’t want her to. I want to stay angry.
“All this time I’ve been trying to find the perfect moment to ask you to marry me.” The confession is heavy between us and I see her eyes widen just a fraction in surprise. I reach up and take her wrist and hold it tight so she can’t touch me. “But it was never good enough. Never what you deserved.”
