Fated

CHAPTER 27

EPILOGUE

MASON'S POV

It had been two years since Jasmine and I got together and life was stupid good! I had fallen deeper in love with her every day. I loved that I got to wake up to her, fall asleep with her, build a dream life with her. She was everything to me.

I rolled over and looked at her. Watching her naked breasts move up and down had me hypnotized. They were sending out a siren's call for me to take them in my mouth. I resisted that urge, though I knew she wouldn't mind. I moved in close to her and rested my head on her bare stomach. One of her arms came around me and she gave me a little squeeze before settling again. I laid there and thought about everything that brought us here.

After our first argument (and some of the best makeup sex ever), I had to go back to Seattle the next day to finish setting up my company. I'd fly home every other week and spend Friday until Sunday with her, leaving on Monday. That was exhausting, but we made it work. I missed her every second I wasn't with her.

About four months into this routine, I found an office manager I could trust and moved back home. The day I pulled up in front of her house, she was standing outside in a shirt dress that stopped right below her butt. She was standing on the porch, bouncing up and down when she saw me. I rounded my truck with the speed of The Flash and scooped her up!

“Stay here and don't ever leave.”

“I'm not going anywhere. I'm home for good.”

“I know because you're moving in with me. I know we hadn't really talked about it, but now that you're here for good, I want you here for good.”

My lips were on hers immediately after she finished. My hands cupped her butt and I pressed her into me.

“I'm home.”

Living together had taken some getting used to, but it was worth it. We’d butted heads over some stuff, but any time there was an issue, we made sure to talk it through. Sometimes we worked straight through and sometimes we had to take a break, but we always came back to each other. There were times we went to bed angry, but we didn’t let things fester. We’d learned from all the things that had kept us apart and we definitely didn’t want that crazy again.

Laying with her now was worth it. And tonight was going to be even better. Tonight was her mom's birthday and family dinner so this was perfect. I was going to ask her to marry me.

JASMINE'S POV

I felt Mason's head on my stomach and my insides fluttered. Every time he touched me, I melted. He had me in the palm of his hand and I had him. My heart belonged to him and he protected it every second of the day. We’ve been together for two years and I couldn't imagine my life without him. He wasn't perfect, but he loved me perfectly.

After he left to go to Seattle, I entered therapy to process my mom's death and just work through some feelings. If he was in town, Mason would sometimes go with me. This really helped our relationship and we got some good advice on how to deal with each other, my grief, miscommunications, and just life. He was so supportive and I tried to show my appreciation to him every day.

Now his hand was rubbing my stomach. I smiled and goosebumps pimpled my flesh. His lips skimmed back and forth across my skin and I whimpered.

“You're waking me up.”

“Nope! I already knew you were awake. I know my girl.”

His lips continued their assault on my body, moving to my breasts, claiming my nipples and holding them hostage. The sucking and tugging and biting had my body twisting with pleasure.

“Mason...yes…”

He positioned his body on top of me and I felt his hardness pressed between my legs. He ground his hips into me and I exhaled shakily.

“Baby, put it in!”

He ignored me and moved his mouth lower. His lips and tongue were sucking and massaging both my thighs, then he jammed his tongue inside me. It was so unexpected that I clapped my thighs shut and he was smashed in between!

“Oh my God!! I'm so sorry!”

He laughed and just shook his head. He didn't say a word and continued eating me. Mason licked everywhere between my legs and was thorough in getting all my wetness for himself.

As I orgasmed, he slowly rubbed my clit and kissed me. The harder he rubbed, the hungrier the kiss. I was cumming again and he pulled back to watch the results of his work.

“You're so sexy,” he whispered and then kissed my chest right where my heart was. He got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom.

“Hey! What about you?”

I stared at his erection and licked my lips.

“This morning was about you. Tonight can be about me.” He continued into the bathroom and started the shower. I laai back in bed and smiled.

Tonight was family dinner. We got together with Mama Lisa and Marco and Monica (who had been dating since my party) every other week. I heard Mason in the shower half singing. It registered that he's singing Time After Time and I swoon. I thought back to the night of my party and thought of the words my mom said to Mason. I missed her so much and thought about her every day, but I hurt less. I knew she was happy for me and proud of my relationship with Mason.

He came out the bathroom and I grinned at him.

“What?”

I curled my index finger at him, telling him to come here. When he reached me, I stood up and kissed him. I slipped my tongue in his mouth quickly and then pulled it right back out, stepping away from him.

“That's a teaser for tonight. And I love you.”

“I love you too.”

He trailed a finger down the middle of my chest to my stomach, then he pulled me close and held me. I couldn't wait until tonight. To be with the people we loved and celebrate my mom's birthday. To tell him about the little love we'd made together. Tonight was gonna be a good night!
