Or maybe fate had been on our side all along. We’d been through so much, but as I laid there—in the top maternal care ward in the country—staring at the two most important people in the world, I’d known it was more than worth it.
“I’ll take him,” I said, lowering my nightgown to my waist.
He placed Michael in my outstretched arms and then sat down on the bed in front of me as I put our son to my breast. Derek trailed a finger along the side of my other breast as he watched Michael latch onto my nipple.
“Our son seems to be occupying these a great deal of the time,” he whispered.
“I suppose I’ll just have to make it up to you, won’t I?”
Heat flared in his eyes and I felt a corresponding heat ignite between my thighs.
“Don’t worry, Pet. I’ve had plenty of time to think about all the ways you can make it up to me.”
A shiver of anticipation rippled through my body. I couldn’t wait to see what he had in mind…for now and for the rest of our lives.
The rest of our lives. Neither of us had ever thought we would be able to look forward to such a thing with so much excitement. It wasn’t so long ago that Derek’s future was dark, and mine was empty. Now, it isn’t. I filled his with a kind of brightness he’d forgotten even existed, and he filled mine with a kind of love I’d never known.
My lover. My friend. My husband. And late at night, behind closed doors, my master.
It was a long, dark road that we traveled to get here, but who wouldn’t be willing to walk through the fires of hell to have what I found? I know I’d do it all again if I had to, but there is no more darkness or emptiness in our lives, and there never will be again. Brightness, hearts brimming with love…and all the handcuffs and spankings a girl could want.
