“No… Well,yeah, but I meant life.” I turned to look into his eyes. “With you. Thank you.”
Aurelius propped himself up on his elbow, frowning. “For what?”
“For loving me,” I whispered. “It’s all I ever wanted, and I can’t imagine anyone better.”
His face softened, and he cupped my cheek with his hand. “I should thank you, not the other way around.”
“Both can be true,” I said, grinning at him. “What do you think it’s going to be like? I’ve never been a wife before.”
He smirked, and cocked an eyebrow. “I’ve never been a husband. We get to go in blind. What I can be sure of,” he said, “is that I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
My heart ached at his words, and I couldn’t resist yanking him forward and kissing him softly, gently. After a few moments, I pulled away and glanced down.
“Seriously? Again? Already?” I said.
Aurelius shrugged. “What can I say? Itisour honeymoon.” He lowered his voice to that hungry growl I loved. “Come here.”
He flipped me over on my belly so I could stare at the ocean as he nestled himself behind me and pressed into me.
“Oh God.” I sighed. This reallywasparadise.
