Lovingly, Wyatt wiped the tears from her cheeks. “And I love you,” he replied with deep sincerity. Taking a deep breath and smiling at her, he suggested, “I think it is time I show you the last surprise. Although it is more of a promise fulfilled.”
Nev raised an eyebrow at him. “Another? I’m intrigued. Lead on,” she directed with a grin.
Swiftly he took her hand in his and led her to the front door. “So, remember when I promised I would make you the comfiest bed in all of Obsidia?” he asked, a hint of flirtation in his question.
“I do. There was also mention of some time to be spent in it. If I remember correctly,” answered Nev coyly.
Wyatt scooped Nev up in his arms and laughed, “Yes, about that… I hope you don’t have any plans for the next week… or two.”
“Two weeks?” Nev responded, trying to sound shocked.
“Did I say weeks? Sorry. I meant months,” he chuckled as he carried her into their home, allowing the door to shut behind him.
“Months it is,” Nev agreed immediately. She was already kissing his neck as he carried her through their home. Our home, she thought to herself. She smiled for a moment before returning to peppering his neck with her kisses.
Wyatt felt his skin warm under her touch. “It is good you relented so easily. Stubborn… remember?” he teased playfully.
“I could never forget. It is one of your characteristics I’m most thankful for. Now… I think it far past time for you to show me this legendary bed,” giggled Nev.
“I love the way your mind works,” grinned Wyatt. Without any further delay, he carried Nev into their bedroom and allowed the door to close behind them. He had plans to share lots of calm, intimate moments with his fiancée, and he was eager to get started. Further adventures and thoughts could wait. For now, he would be here with her—because here was worth it.

Anyway… first book published? Achievement unlocked!
