“It’s such a beautiful night, wouldn’t you say?” he asks in front of me.
I look down and grin. “It is. What are you doing down there, Ro?”
“Hey baby,” he grins.
“Yeah?”
“I think…” He pulls a box out of his pocket.
“You think?” I egg him on.
“I think I want to marry you. What do you think?” He holds out the velvet box, opened up to me. The simple, yet elegant ring shines off of the fluorescent lighting of the room.
“I’m not sure what to think,” I tease him.
His grin is wiped from his face. “Wait, are you–?”
I move down onto my knees and pull Rogan’s face to mine, look him in the eyes and smile.
“I am just fucking with you. I think that I would like to marry you too.” I return to him.
“Are we finally going to do this?” he asks.
“I think that it’s due time that we step in this direction.”
“What do you think your parents will think?” he says standing.
“I think that they would actually be happy for us. You know, because we’re smarter than we were then and well, I think that after all this time, they would be good with it all.”
“Well then Ms. Mason. Would you do the honor of being my wife?”
“I would absolutely take that honor.”
“You will be Mrs. Quinn?”
“No, I would like to keep Mason as my name,” I smile.
“Whatever makes you happy.”
“I’m glad that you’re learning about happy wife, happy life, so soon.”
“We’re getting married!” he shouts to the room.
A resounding cheer erupts in the space, and the emergency room bay curtains are drawn back from each station and smiling faces look at us.
Look at us. High school sweethearts, who had an eleven-year break, are back together again and we’re both a part of this town in a meaningful way.
A way that differs from before, but still the same.
I lay on my side in bed naked and as he approaches me; he feathers his hand up my calf and up my thigh. I feel his fingertips graze against my pussy, and I feel a rush of pleasure at the thought of him taking me again. It feels like it’s been so long.
I roll onto my back and place my hand at the crevice of my thighs. With his eyes on my hand, I slowly insert a finger inside and coat my finger then pull it up to my lips and lick.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Rogan rushes out as I repeat the motion.
“Do you want some of this?” I ask.
“You know that I fucking do. I want it all and for the rest of our lives.” He bites his lower lip.
I flick my clit once, then slip my fingers back into my pussy and spread my legs as his nostrils flare and he steps closer to me.
I made a huge mistake so many years ago, but now I have the rest of my life to make it up to him. To us.
We will get the happy ending that we waited so long to have.
In more than one way.

About the Author
I am a contemporary romance author who is all about the feels, with the twists of sexy mixed in between. I have been writing since before I can remember. Writing has always been a passion, that was kept it under wraps, stayed on the back-burner and never vocalized or followed through with my desire to be a writer, until I read a horrible book and thought: ‘I could do better than that!’
I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but living in beautiful San Diego with my little family while working during the day as a social worker within Program Management
In other words, I’m a freaking superhero!
