**Ethan‘s POV Rosalie looked so beautiful beneath me, and she felt so good. I wanted to fill her with my seed and make another baby with this amazing woman that I loved so much, but even as we made love, in the back of my mind, I was a bit worried about other things.... I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life, but I was also very much aware of the fact that I was not the one in charge of this relationship anymore. Rosalie was her own independent woman now, and she could decide she didn‘t need or want me at any time. As Rosalie cried out, I felt my body grow rigid. I grunted a few times and then jerked into her. Her arms held me tightly in place until my muscles finally relaxed, and then I rolled off of her, lying down on my back and pulling her against my chest It took me a moment to catch my breath, but then I leaned over and kissed the top of her head. “Thank you, Rosalie,” I whispered, running my hand through her hair. “Thank me... for what?” she asked, a bit of a chuckle in the question, “For... being with me,” I replied. “For letting me love you.” Her smile was wider. “Ethan, I thank Moon Goddess every day for making me the luckiest woman in the world.” Her bright eyes were on me, and I saw my own clear reflections in them. It felt so good to know I was the only one she was seeing in her eyes. Hopefully, the only one in her heart too. She keenly sensed my uncertainty and was immediately concerned. “Ethan, do you have something to say?” Feeling awkward and unsure of how I could tell her what I was trying to say, I replied, “I just want you to know that! appreciate you. And....” “And what?” “And... I just, I‘m happy I get to be with you. That‘s all.” Rosalie stared at me for a moment, her eyes twinkling in the moonlight streaming in through our bedroom window. “Ethan, we are a couple. Nothing will change that.” It was nice to hear her say that. Still, I wasn‘t sure. “I‘ve just always thought... what if....” | stopped speaking and shook my head “What if what?” she probed. Taking a deep breath, I continued. “What if you never quite get over the way that things were between us before you realized who you were, or while I was a rogue, or... what if you have been upset at me for marking you against your will?” “Marking me against my will?” Rosalie‘s tone was calm and gentle, and she wasn‘t chuckling at me now. “Ethan, you did that to save my life. I could never hold that against you.copy right hot novel pub
