Epilogue Austin Graham

Did Cupid Throw Up in Here

Two Weeks Later

I stare at the mess on the kitchen table, and I can’t help but laugh. “Did Cupid throw up in here?”

Kelly glances up at me as she loops some red meshy shit back and forth on a wire frame. “Sorry. I promise I’ll clean this up before we get Mia.”

I walk over to her and shake my head. “I’m just teasing you. What can I do?”

She sighs, and she finishes pulling the meshy shit through the frame. “I’m not sure. I have three more of these Valentine’s wreaths to make, and I wanted to do little mini wreaths with unicorns and rainbows for Mia’s birthday party next weekend with my business card attached, but I’m running out of time.”

“I can’t believe she’s turning one a week from tomorrow,” I say. “And I’ll do whatever I can to help you get it all done. Are you going into the bakery this week?”

She nods and picks up another frame and more of the red netting. “Just for a couple hours on Friday, and I’d like to have these Valentine’s ones ready when I go in. Oh, that reminds me, Lakeside called with the dates they have available.”

“And?” I ask. Lakeside is her dream wedding venue, and we agreed that whatever date they have open is the date we’re doing it.

“And they had a cancellation for April fourth.”

It should make me shudder. That’s just under three months away.

But there’s nothing scary about marrying this woman. In fact, I can’t wait.

“Do they have anything sooner?” I ask playfully, and she laughs as I lean down to kiss her.

“I think that’s the soonest, babe. I booked it, and I texted Desi, who is pulling all the strings for us.” Over the last couple of weeks, I guess Kelly and Desiree, the woman Asher is marrying, have gotten close, and Kelly apparently already tapped Desi to plan our wedding since she’s an event planner.

“Four-four. It has a nice ring to it.”

“And you’ll put a ring on it,” she jokes. “Tell me about your day.”

I sit in the chair next to her and start to organize the pink foam hearts by size and color. “My day started with a light workout, and then I went in for some treatment. We had some meetings, did a little film study, and did a walk-through. And now I’m here.”

“Treatment for what?”

“My back. You know how it’s been sore since the game after Christmas, so I went in for a massage.”

She looks up at me with a raised brow and pursed lips, and I chuckle.

“There’s literally nothing sexual about getting a massage in the locker room, least of all when it’s Hector giving the treatment.”

“That’s better.”

I lean over and press a kiss to her cheek. “Even if it was Alison, it still wouldn’t be sexual, babe. You’re the only one who gets to give me the happy ending.”

“You’re damn right about that. Speaking of which…” She sets down the frame she’s working on. “We need to pick up Mia in less than an hour, so if you want to—”

I don’t let her finish that sentence because of fucking course I want to.

I lift to a stand and pull her out of her chair and into my arms.

She laughs. “I was going to say if you want to figure out a plan for dinner, but this works, too,” she says as I carry her across the house and up the stairs.

I take her into our bedroom and throw her onto the bed, and she’s grinning as I move to hover over her. I run my lips along her neck. “God, you taste good,” I say as I thrust my hips to hers, and she’s not laughing anymore as she moans, stretching her neck back as she closes her eyes and folds to the pleasure.

My lips move to hers, and it’s as we kiss that I can see our future together. I see Christmases with matching sweaters and more kids and so much laughter. I see the warmth Kelly radiates as I bask in it and actually enjoy the holiday as an adult when so many of those moments were stripped from my past.

I see everything I didn’t know was within my reach for my own future as I saw everyone around me getting those things.

“Want me to go on top since your back’s hurting?” she asks, and it’s like the goddamn magic question to ask a man as he’s gearing up for sex.

“Fuck yeah, I do,” I say, and I climb off her, pull her heart pajama pants down her legs, and pull my own jeans off as she shimmies out of her sweatshirt.

Once we’re both naked, I lay on the bed, and she climbs over me.

I run my hands along her torso and up to those perfect tits of hers, where I allow my hands to explore and tease as she fists my cock and lines her body up with mine. She slides down onto me, and her pussy is so hot, so wet, so tight. It’s utter perfection as she starts to move, and her on top is always a treat since it tickles all of my senses. I love to watch her as her face contorts with pleasure and her tits bounce up and down. I love to peek down between us where our bodies are connected as I see my shaft disappearing into her sweet cunt. I love to listen to her sounds, to taste her skin, to touch her tits, to smell the cinnamon scent of her perfume that lingers long after the Christmas season is over.

I love everything about her, and as my body tightens up in advance of an explosive release inside her, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude that she’s the person I get to do this with for the rest of my life.

I come first to someone now, and it means everything to me. So much, in fact, that I literally come first, and it propels her into her own release. She leans down to claw at my chest for balance as she bounces over my cock, moaning my name as she comes.

As it turns out, our second chance at love was the best gift this Christmas, and I will work every day for the rest of my life to make sure she knows she and the life we’re building together come first to me too.
