“You’re damn right I won’t. El, I’m living every day going forward to make you happy. It’s my number one goal.”
She wraps her arms around me and I hold her back. The journal I am holding rests on the small of her back, practically burning me, I want to give it to her so badly. “I have something for you,” I tell her, grasping it in one hand and pulling it around her body. She looks down at the tattered and worn dark grey leather notebook. Then she looks at me questioningly. “I want you to read this, if you’d like. Some of it is ugly on the days that I had to face my past. But it’s me, my emotions, and the rawness of what I felt while we were apart. I want you to know everything about me. I’m not sure I can relive those experiences again, since I have put them behind me. But if you want to know about them, they are here for you.”
She hesitantly takes the journal from my hands and clutches it to her chest. “I want to know everything about you, Nate. I’ll always cherish this.” Looking in to her eyes, I thread my fingers into her soft brown hair. She leans into my touch and moans a little. My cock twitches watching her. I need her so bad. I need her more than my body has ever needed anything.
Leaning down, I connect our lips. She grips my bicep and in this moment, I thank God for giving me a third chance at life. Not many can say that. But I can and will do things right this time. Her lips are so soft and loving, I have to stop kissing her ’cause I don’t trust myself right now. I’m so horny for her, that if she touches me, I’m afraid I might fuck her right here.
“I love you, Elania,” I tell her as she rests her head against my chest, still gripping the journal.
“Love you too, Nate.”
I kiss her again and rest my forehead against hers. She looks at me with those dazzling eyes and says, “Let’s go home.”
As always, I have to first and foremost thank my husband. Without your support and love, I couldn’t do this. You’re my partner and your honest feedback truly makes these books what they are. You’ve made my dreams come true this year and for that, I am forever grateful. I love you more than you will ever know, babe.
To my remarkable editor, Lisa, this one’s for you. You really brought this one home with the PTSD. Thank you for your patience with this book and then for getting it done under both of our time constraints. You are such an amazing and talented person and a great friend.
Leticia, as always you had my back. Thank you for pushing this baby to the top of your list; you are truly a miracle worker! I appreciate your help more than you know.
To my betas and street team, thank you. You all have stuck with me for so long. Each and every one of you has a special place in my heart. Your support, friendship, and honesty mean the world to me.
Last, but not least, to my fans and every single blogger that has stuck by me along the way. This series has only been possible because of you. You motivate me to be a better writer and to do what I do every day. I hope you’ve loved Nate’s story and the conclusion to this series. If you could share your thoughts regarding the story with an Amazon review, I would be so grateful. Both the Prezident and I read each and every review that I receive.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. XOXO, LK
