Larissa’s PovThe papers were signed.And Zephan? The news had a full day with his story. Heartbroken son of a millionaire, trapped in an asylum. Was it love? Or….Lennie chucked, “I must say, Harl does know how to get a job done,” her voice dripping with praise as she stared at the screen.I didn’t know how I felt about it, I didn’t know if this was the right thing to do, at this point. “He shouldn’t….”“Don’t tell me you feel pity for the man? Larisa, he had put you through hell, if this is what Harl can do; let him, I wish he could do more!” she hissed.Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t, “I don’t know, I am just feeling a cocktail of emotions right now, and I just…. What if all this had been avoided? What if everything wasn’t as it seems?”Lennie’s hands grabbed my shoulders, her eyes staring at me with seriousness in them, “Larissa, for years that man has done nothing but put you through hell, trust me, what Harl has done isn’t enough, he should have had him thrown into a freaking we

Larissa’s Pov“Do you want to come in?” his head shot up at the sound of my voice.“Do you…”I rolled my eyes, “We are already here, I guess it wouldn’t hurt for you to walk in with me,” I said. Maybe I wasn’t thinking straight. You know what? Scratch that, I wasn’t thinking straight, because all that I knew was that, I needed him here.He grinned, “Okay,” his tone low as he stared at me. “Anything you want me to be I will be that.”“Come on,” I said, fighting back the words that had threatened to slide through my lips. If I said it, I wasn’t sure how he would react.“Mrs Vale…”“Just Larissa!” Harl snapped, shooting the nurse a glare.I moved forward, standing between him and the terrified nurse, I remember her, she was the last person who had spoken to Monica. “I am sorry about my friend, he is just cranky,” I said the bad joke, hoping to quell the mood in the room.Harl scoffed, but said nothing when he noticed my pinning gaze. I smiled at the nurse, “Is doctor kale in?”“Let

Harl’s PovMaybe it was a hopeless dream, but I didn’t care. She had kissed me and that is all that rang through my head. Dinner wasn’t bad, we had talked, stayed clear of things that would ring of sadness; Zephan and Sabrina.Watching her smile, and chat was liberating. ‘I love you.’ The words had rung in my head a thousand more times than they should, the urge stronger than the former. But every time is aw the look on her face, that fear that flickered in her orbs, I knew she wasn’t ready to hear the words yet.“Someone looks excited,” Darius teased behind me as I walked into his office.I ignored his teasing as I slumped into the chair, grabbing the glass of whiskey that was on the table, “Well, just had the best date I could ever dream of,” I muttered, taking a huge swing. I needed to quell the ache that I felt in my chest. The minute I drove her back to Lennie's house, I knew this wasn’t the way I wanted our evenings to end.I knew that I needed us to be home together, watching

Larissa’s PovA few days later.“What do you think you are doing?” Harl whispered, his breath fanning the outer shell of my ear as he wrapped his hand around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.My breath hitched as my back came in contact with his chest, enjoying the way it felt to have the taut muscle against mine. His fingers drew soft patterns on my slowly protruding stomach. I had moved in the night when asked me to, but was never shy to bask in his touch.“Hmm? Did I tell you that you aren’t meant to do any heavy lifting when it comes to anything around the house?” he glowed.My thighs clenched at the feel of his voice. Living with Harl isn’t hard, but what was hard was the fact that he had refused to do anything… “Larissa?” he called out softly.I bit my lower lip, snapping myself back to reality, “i…” I cleared my throat, forcing down the image that burned in my mind. “I just wanted to make sure that we had this picture placed here, I whispered. Hoping my tone gave nothi

Larissa’s Pov“Harl.” I moaned, my body arcing from the bed as I tried to hold onto the bedsheet. This was my life now, the one I couldn’t stop loving. Waking up to the sunrise with Harl between my thighs eating me out as if this was his last meal. I could die happy.“Please,” I whimpered, my body seeking the release that he was delaying. He growled, the vibrations washing through me, causing me to tighten my thighs around his head, just as pleasure shot through me, “fuck!” I screamed, feeling the orgasm crash through me.“Good morning gorgeous,” he grinned, his head slowly rushing from between my thighs. “Did I mention that you look so gorgeous this morning?” he whispered, leaning over to plant a kiss on my lips.I didn’t mind, didn’t care even though my tongue tasted myself on his lips. All I would always want is to have his tongue on my body. “Will it always be like this?” I whispered, unable to hold the little flicker of doubt that lingered in my chest.He grinned, “Each day wil

EPILOGUE

One year laterLarissa’s Pov“Promise me this will never end,” I whispered.“Nothing about us would ever end.”Those were the words he had sowre right before he dropped too his knees, a ring in hand as he asked me to be his. Those were the words that healed everything that had been broken, brought back the girl that once knew there was love and hope in the words.“A penny for your thoughts?” harl whispered, his lips brushing my cheeks as he held unto our little girl.I sighed, slowly rubbing my protruding stomach, he wasn’t lying when he said he was going to make sure I stayed pregnant. “Nothing, just remembering when you had asked me to marry you,” I whispered.He smiled, “best… one of the best days of my life.”It was mine too.The sound of shrill laughter and footsteps echoing through the building caused our heads to turn, “they are here,” I whispered, watching with a smile as Lennie’s kids ran through the hallway. Behind them, Lennie walking in with Darius behind her.She says
