548 One last round (1/2)

Alex's hands were wrapped around Abi's waist, spooning her. His lips kissing her hair gently.

”Get some rest now, my wife.” He whispered, although his lips were already planting butterfly kisses at the back of her neck.

Abi immediately shivered. Those little puffs of air were so hot, it jolted her dizzy senses awake. She turned and faced him.

”My dear husband, do you really want me to rest?” she asked, slightly raising a brow.

Alex took a little while to respond. ”Are you tired?” he asked instead of giving her an answer. But then, too soon, he looked like he regretted what he just spouted and then, ”Yes.” he finally answered. ”I know the battle must have tired you out tremendously.”

Abi tried her best not to smile. On one hand, he was telling her to rest but on the other, she could see that longing and intense desire in his eyes. It was obvious that he was waging a war against himself inside him.

Lifting her hands, Abi cupped his face and planted a kiss on his hot lips. ”Do you really want me to rest?” she repeated, the corner of her lips curved up into a mischievous smile.

An imaginary sound of a string being broke apart could be heard inside the quiet room and reason completely fled Alex's mind.

”Can we do it once?” He asked, his eyes glimmered with desire but then, immediately, he groaned, running his fingers through his hair. ”Ugh. My self-control when it comes to you is in the negative numbers, Abi.”

He pulled away and laid on his back when Abi rose. She moved on top of Alex, surprising the man.

Suddenly, she bent and kissed him hard, and just like that, he lost himself in her until he knew he would not be able to control anymore. When their lips parted, they stared into each other eyes.

”I love you,” she told him. ”I love so much. I am so happy that I can finally be with you forever, Alex.”

Emotions began to fill Abi's eyes as she uttered those heartfelt words. So many things happened since that night she met him in the garage. It was still surreal that after all that had happened, in the end, she was now in Alex's arms, and they were going to be with each other not until they die but forever. She could not ask for more.

She still couldn't believe it the fact that their love didn't just conquer death, but time too. Their love won. Despite all those agonizing pain, and the long sufferings, their love didn't drown from their tears. It fought so desperately to not only be kept afloat but to soar despite the dangerous currents and the seemingly endless troubles – never, ever giving up.

”I am so happy that I will not leave you here all alone again.” She added and kissed him again. Her kiss was passionate, filled with all the emotions she was feeling.

His large hands, cupped her face this time.

”I love you too, my wife.” he said softly, looking into her eyes. ”I am beyond happy. We are meant to love each other forever, Abigail. No one… nothing can separate us.”

As Alex said those words, she pulled Abi and pressed her against him. He kissed her lips, and then her jaw and then her throat. The fire between them sent beads of sweat slipping down their skin. His hand wandered down her side, cupping her hip and pulling her more firmly against him all the while dipping his head and nuzzled, just beneath her collarbone.
