Chapter 15

Leo
I sit across from her, watching the way her eyes sparkle in the soft light and how her smile lights up even the darkest corners of my soul. From the moment we met on the playground at five years old, our laughter ringing out like music in the air, she has always held a special place in my heart. Growing up alongside each other, navigating the treacherous waters of adolescence together, and finally finding solace in each other's arms in high school changed my life. It was then that our friendship blossomed into something more. I remembered the nervous butterflies in my stomach when I finally mustered the courage to ask her out, and the sheer elation when she said yes. We navigated the ups and downs of teenage romance together, weathering storms and basking in sunshine, always hand in hand. Even after graduation, when life took us on different paths, Brylee remained a constant presence in my life. She was there for me through heartbreaks and triumphs, through tears and laughter. Brylee had always been my rock, my constant source of strength and support.
And now, as we sit here, I want to make sure she knows just how much she means to me. How every beat of my heart is a testament to her love, how every breath I take is infused with her essence. I reach out to take her hand in mine. “Brylee, I want you to know that from the moment our paths first crossed all those years ago, I knew that you were destined to be a part of my life.”
Her gaze meets mine, a mixture of curiosity and anticipation dancing in those deep, soulful eyes that have always held a piece of my heart. The flickering candlelight seems to shimmer in tandem with the emotions swirling within, highlighting every delicate feature of her face that I have come to know and love so well.
“My love for you has never wavered, never dimmed,” I confess. “I've carried it with me through every trial and triumph, through every moment of joy and sorrow. And I realize now, more than ever, that you are the missing piece of my soul, the one who completes me in a way I never thought possible.”
Her eyes soften, a hint of understanding dawning in their depths as she squeezes my hand, a silent reassurance that she is there with me, sharing this moment as intimately as if we are one soul split in two.
“I have loved you since I was five years old. And as the years have passed, that love has only grown stronger, deeper. You are the melody to my song, the color to my canvas, the light to my darkness.”
Tears shimmer in her eyes. “I have loved you too, more than words can ever convey. You have always been my safe harbor, my guiding star.”
She leans forward and presses her lips against mine, a thousand unspoken promises passing between us in that fleeting moment. We are speaking the same language, vibing on the same wavelength, and today is the start of something truly and utterly life changing.
Brylee’s hands trace a path down my chest, igniting a trail of electric heat. Without breaking eye contact, she leans in once more, her lips parting against mine with a hunger that matches my own. Our kiss deepens, a crescendo of passion building between us until it feels like we are teetering on the edge of an abyss, ready to plunge headfirst into the unknown.
I cup her face in my hands, anchoring myself to her as if she is the only solid ground in a world spinning out of control. The heat between us intensifies, a magnetic pull drawing us closer until there is no space left to bridge. Our bodies meld together seamlessly, fitting like two halves of a whole as we seek solace and release in each other’s embrace.
With a gentle urgency, I guide Brylee backward until she is lying on the plush carpet, her eyes never leaving mine. Desire burns bright in those depths, a mirror to my own unbridled lust. She removes my shirt before her own. I lower myself onto her.
Every touch is electric, igniting a frenzy of want that threatens to consume us both. Our clothes become obstacles to be discarded in our quest for raw connection. Fabric pools around us as we revel in the ecstasy of skin on skin, the heat of our bodies mingling and melding until there is no beginning or end, only the present moment of pure passion. I kiss a trail along Brylee's neck, tasting the salt of her skin as she arches beneath me in sweet surrender. Her hands roam my back, leaving trails of fire in their wake. My eyes meet hers, and in that moment, I see the same hunger reflect back at me.
As I enter her, I look into her eyes, seeing the way she lets go the moment she feels me inside of her. A small gasp and then desire. This is what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life. The woman that holds all of my heart and showing her how much I care for her each and every day.
“You feel so fucking good, princess.”
Her nails dig into my back as I take her left leg into my hand and put it on my shoulder. I want to make her come so hard that she begs me to stop. This position gives me the best angle to go deep. Just how I fucking love it . She bucks her hips, like it is becoming too much, but she will say the word if she truly wants me to stop. Her walls clench around me and it sends me close to the edge, but I want to get her there first. So, I up my tempo, and put both of her legs on my shoulders, going as deep as I can.
“Holy fucking A!” she screams as her thighs start to quiver.
With a primal growl, I claim her lips once more, our tongues dancing together in a frenzied tango. As our passion reaches its peak, we tear ourselves away from the floor. I lift Brylee into my arms, her legs wrapping around my waist as our lips never leave each other's. With a grace born of pure desire, I carry her to the bed, our bodies still locked together in an embrace that promises infinite pleasure and boundless love. With a gentle thud, we land on the bed, Brylee's back hitting the soft mattress as I continue to kiss her. My hands trace her body, caressing every inch of her skin as if she is a rare and precious treasure I rediscovered after a long, dark journey.
Tonight is the first night of the rest of our happily ever after.
