“The restaurant business isn’t exactly safe…”
“With you at the helm? What could be safer?” He wipes my face, brushing away a tear, and I giggle, wrapping my arms around his neck, hardly able to believe all that’s changed in the last few minutes.
Then I hear them.
“Hey, fucker, get your hands off my sister, you—”
“I’m Chance,” Chance says, turning with a grin and thrusting his hand into Cyrus’s, shaking it firmly. “You’ve got to be Cyrus.” He turns his head as Tor comes in through the doorway behind carrying a take out bag. “And Tor, right?”
Tor nods. “And you’ve got some explaining to do. Like what the fuck you’re doing breaking in here.”
“I didn’t break in, the door was unlocked.”
“Potato, potahto.”
I grunt, stepping in between them all. “Potato, potahto, my ass! You two are not going to ruin this for me and scare off the best thing that’s ever happened in my life.”
“Not gonna happen, babe,” Chance says behind me. “And speaking of your ass.” I feel his hands settle on my behind, and a grin spreads over my face.
“I think that’s the cue for you two to get the halibut out of my house! I don’t need you muscling in here, okay? I’m fine. Better than fine. And unless you want to see your sister getting her freak on, I suggest you make your way to the exit.” I point at the doorway as I watch both Tor’s and Cyrus’s faces drop at the mention of what’s about to happen.
They exchange a glance, close their eyes like they are trying to forget what I just said then back away.
“You’re sure you’re okay?” Tor asks as he gets to the door.
“Out!” I shout. “Both of you, out of my house this second!”
I watch them leave, a little grin playing on my lips. Alone at last.
“Alone at last,” Chance whispers, echoing my thought right in my ear, making me tense he’s so close. I squeal when his lips connect with the back of my neck, and I feel just the slightest pinch of his teeth.
Turning, I’m wrapped in his arms, and there’s no more waiting left in either of us. Time to consecrate our deal.
As I sink down onto my knees, eyes on his face the whole time, I can’t help but wonder how I ended up so lucky. One night of throwing caution to the wind, and now I have everything I could ever want.
Right here.
And for the rest of my life.

Epilogue – Five Years Later
* * *
I’m out in the shop with our oldest Max welding the last piece of metal onto the enormous horse sculpture I’m making for a client.
It’s been five years and Sophia and I are as happy as pigs in shit still.
We have two kiddos. Max who will turn five here shortly and Emma who is three.
We live between our second home in San Phillipe and West Lake here where we still have two restaurants but my wife is not as obsessed with work as she was.
I support her completely, but she started running herself ragged trying to be super mom and restaurant Wonder Woman and I had to step in.
I laid down some rules because her well being and health outweighs everything else.
I see the light flash as the door to the shop opens and the silhouette of my incredibly sexy wife is standing there.
“I’m ready.” She twirls, showing off the new white sundress I bought her yesterday. “Emma is already buckled in the car, she wouldn’t wait.”
“Okay.” I shut off my torch and throw off my helmet nodding to Max. “Let’s go buddy.”
He gives me a salute and races toward Sophia, grabbing her around the legs.
“I love the Phillipe house. I want to live there forever.” Max says to Sophia who pats his dark hair.
“I know buddy. But, we are so lucky to have both places. We are blessed.”
He rushes out the door toward the car as I lean down and kiss my little dark haired spitfire of a wife.
“You take your vitamins?” I ask as she rolls her eyes. “Is that a yes?”
“I forgot.”
“I’m going to remind you. Turn around.” I spin her shoulder and flip up her dress, yanking down her pink panties and giving her a hard smack on each butt cheek.
“Ouch. Meanie.”
I drive my fingers down then upward into her sopping wet hole. “Your pussy likes it mean.” I finger fuck her a few strokes until she’s bracing her arms on the doorway.
She’s panting as I give her a hot, fast finger bang and she’s gushing into my palm when we hear Max yelling for us to hurry up.
“Got take your vitamins.” I put her dress back in place and kiss her hard. “Hurry up. No missing our flight.”
“Mean and bossy.”
“Go.” I point toward the house and give her a soft push in that direction. “I’ll be in the car, I’ll do battle with Max.”
