“I love you.”
“Again.”
“I love you, Silver Fox.”
Chapter 46 – Kenzie
Iwake up warm.
Not just from the sheets. Not just from the sunlight filtering through the curtains. But from the solid weight of Grant beside me.
For a moment, I just stay there. Listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing. Feeling the slow rise and fall of his chest. Letting myself exist in this moment—without panic, without second-guessing.
I don’t have to run.
Don’t have to wonder if I’m in too deep.
Because I already know the answer.
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
I shift slightly, tilting my head to look at him.
He’s still asleep.
Jaw relaxed, lips slightly parted.
Completely unbothered by the world outside this bed.
And me?
I ache.
Not with uncertainty.
Not with fear.
But with something deep, something unshakable.
Something that terrifies and excites me all at once.
Before I can overthink it, I press a kiss to his shoulder.
A slow, lingering touch of my lips against warm skin.
Grant shifts.
His arm tightens around my waist.
And then—voice rough with sleep—
“You tryin’ to start something, Flight?”
I don’t answer him right away.
I just smirk against his skin, lips trailing over his shoulder before I finally murmur—
“Maybe.”
