One Year Later

ANASTASIA

I pulled the tray from the oven and set it on the countertop before removing my oven mitts.

They came out just perfect!

I got distracted when I heard a sharp crack, prompting me to step out onto the balcony, to see Zade chopping firewood.

God, he has done this many times, but I still couldn’t get used to it. Especially seeing him in jeans, hanging low on his waist, chest on full display as muscles strained with every swing of that axe.

And God help me, that baseball cap worn backwards was just the icing on the cake.

This... was something I’d never get tired of, and I hope it never ends. This was everything I could ever ask for... a secluded cabin in the mountains, with a breathtaking view.

A place where we could both disappear from the world just as he promised me three years ago.

I’ve been so happy ever since Zade brought me here. Every moment we’ve spent here has been nothing but never-ending bliss.

Waking up in his arms every morning, cooking him meals, and of course some unhinged, well-deserved fucking.

I lowered my gaze when I felt fur brush my leg, and Coco came into view. And of course, all the best times in the world with my babies.

I picked him up and sat down on the porch swing where Boba was napping, his purrs making this moment more magical.

I continued to watch my husband give me the best show in the house, but for a moment, I lifted my right leg, seeing the faded scar of stitches left behind by all the surgeries I had to endure.

Whenever I looked at them, there was always a tightness in my chest, but not anymore. These scars weren’t just scars; they reminded me what I had overcome—What we have overcome.

The past year has been a roller coaster but there were some best moments. For starters, there was a chance I could get back to my career, a chance I could dance again.

When I first heard the news, I broke down in tears while laughing through it all.

Second, Elliot took over Monarch Group as CEO. I was so proud of him, and for some reason I felt things were different between us. That unexplainable look in his eyes he always wore whenever he looked at me was... I don’t know... but it wasn’t like he used to.

I could tell he was happier. Just a feeling.

Dante and Jade started dating. Who knew those two had a thing for each other. She always visited him at his hospital even when she came to see me. I guess something bloomed between the two then.

As for Luca, well, he’s Luca and proclaimed himself as the third wheel. Those twins were each other’s better half for sure.

And Caleb...? It was a lot to handle. He was... troubled, but he received the help and support he needed to find his way through it.

I realized despite everything, he could heal just like the rest of us.

I held no grudges against him, and Dante didn’t either.

It made me wonder if I could have helped Annabeth too. If I had been strong enough to do what Zade did that day.

Zade was done chopping the wood and used a towel to wipe his hands as he walked toward me. My heartbeat picked up pace as he got closer.

And when he loomed over me and leaned close, a rush of heat found my body. My skin ran hot when his lips pressed against mine in a slow, passionate kiss that stole my breath away.

"You’re all sweaty."

"Why don’t you help me shower then?" he said, amused.

I knew he was looking forward to me washing his hair. He was so obsessed with it.

I carefully lifted Coco from my lap and placed him beside Boba. Then Zade picked me up, and I eagerly wrapped my legs around him, not minding the sweat.

"You look good on my shirt."

I giggled before kissing him, a soft moan escaping me. His hands clawed my ass as I reached up, slipped off his cap, and blissfully tangled my fingers in his hair.

"Zade..." I moaned as he kissed down my neck. "We won’t make it to the bed."

"Wouldn’t be the first time I fuck you right here on the balcony."

He wasn’t wrong, though, and I should be thankful that this place was isolated, or else we were probably giving them a show.

I gasped when he bit down on my neck and sucked so hard I knew he was leaving his snake bites again. I couldn’t go about the day without having his mark on me, and loved every bit of it.

Zade’s lips were back on time as we sped through it. He undid the zipper of his jeans and buried his cock home. I do not need panties, because anywhere, anytime he was gonna take me like the possessive man he was.

My insides ignited when he buried deep into my pussy, and I spasmed around so tightly he groaned. Oh God, that sound!

"Let’s have a baby!" I gasped, cutting close to a pending orgasm.

Zade froze for a beat, thinking he had heard wrong, but I kissed him to show him that he didn’t.

"Do you mean that?"

I nodded. "Yes, I’ve been thinking about it for a while."

I knew no doubt Zade was gonna be a great dad.

An irresistible grin curled his lips. "How many do you have in mind?"

My heart skipped a few beats. How many?!

"I was thinking... seven."

"Jesus, Zade!"

He laughed.

"Don’t worry." His voice dipped lower. "We’ll debate about that after your pussy drips with my semen."

Our mouths collided again as he walked us into the house, using his foot to push the door shut behind us.
