Saving You Losing Me

Epilogue

ATOM

FIVE YEARS LATER

I t’s busy in the bar tonight. Sweat, mixes with cigarette smoke and loud music replaces conversation. Some of the guys are making out with their latest angel and I’m once again staring into the bottom of a beer bottle.

“Hey.” A soft voice whispers in my ear and two hands slide around my neck. Soft kisses heat my rough skin and in one sudden movement, I swing her around so she sits astride me, her chest pressing into mine as I launch an attack on her soft lips. Her fingers tangle in my hair and the jeers from the guys fall on deaf ears.

When she pulls away, she smiles into my eyes.

“I couldn’t wait.”

“I’m sorry baby. Business ran over today.”

“So I can see.” She nods with an amused grin toward the empty bottle and I wink.

“Purely medicinal. One for the road.”

“You know–” She leans closer and her powerful scent scrambles my senses.

“Candy is babysitting tonight. We have a few hours of freedom left.”

A wicked smile tugs on my lips and I nod toward the door.

“After you.”

She slides from between my legs and as our fingers lace together, I call out to Razor, “It’s all yours. See you tomorrow.”

He nods, untangling the woman from his arms. “Night Atom. Night Clara.”

She waves her goodbyes and as we leave the bar, she slips her hand into mine and whispers, “I love date night.”

We head toward my bedroom. Even though we live in the house we built on the bones of the derelict house, I spend the odd night here. We spend the odd night here. Date night is our chance to be carefree and irresponsible without the kids interrupting and demanding our time.

Sophia and Maria are as much my blood as the two babies we made together. Two boys, Toby and Zach who are four and two respectively. We wasted no time in starting a family of our own and as soon as the house was built to accommodate us, along with three dogs and two cats, we moved from The Darkside which is still the headquarters of The Dark Angels.

We never found the gold during construction but we found a different kind of gold because it turned out to be our happy place where we live an amazing life together.

Clara kept the businesses and appointed managers to run them. She spends most of her time caring for the family and I run The Dark Angels as always. We are happy, immeasurably so, but these are always our special times when its just the two of us, right where we belong.

As we crash into the room, we kiss like crazy teenagers and tear our clothes off with an urgency that never fades.

Being inside this woman is my number one aim in life and as we fall onto the bed, I kiss her as if it’s our first time. It always feels as if it’s our first time, because my lust for this woman never faded.

“God, I love you.”

“I fucking hope you mean me, darlin’. God is the last battle I want to fight for your affection.”

She giggles, a sound that will never fail to raise a smile from my face, and as I kiss every inch of her skin, she shivers with pleasure.

I eat up her pussy like a starving man and she moans as she claws the sheets, her pleasure a drug I require a constant supply of.

She pushes me away before she’s ready and forces me back so she can return the favor.

As her soft, sweet lips drag against my shaft, I allow my mind to switch off from anything other than the woman working my body so perfectly.

She takes me to the back of her throat and I push softly inside her, her teeth grazing the stretched skin of my cock as it passes through her mouth.

Her groans of pleasure never fail to be the sweetest music to my ears and as she squeezes my balls in her perfect hands, I groan, “Fuck me, baby, that is so good.”

I wish I hadn’t spoken as she pulls away and then edges up my body, gripping my wrists and holding them above my head, as she lowers herself onto my rigid cock and bites her lip as she slides it home.

I love it when Clara’s on top. She rides me with a sense of freedom that is beautiful to behold. Her eyes find mine and love darts pierce my heart as she pushes down on me, liking me completely at her mercy.

I will always be her servant, her slave even. What Clara wants, she gets. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for this woman and she, in turn, is a fierce warrior by my side. We are a team. We always were, but took a little longer to make it happen.

But that’s all in the past because we have a bright future ahead of us and all the pain of the past was worth bearing when fate hands you everything you ever wished for, despite the chaos the wrong choices made in your life.

Love determination and a will to succeed will always win in the end, no matter how long it takes.
