Dorian - Several months later…
“With all the evidence stacked against him and an attempted murder charge, that asshole is looking at sixty years at least. The jury will proverbially hang him. To attack a pregnant woman and a teenager in their own home, he’s going down.” Max smiles at me before kissing our son on his dark head.
“Justice will be served. I have no doubt,” I agree, flashing him a grin.
Ethan, named after my father, kicks his little legs and stops nursing to gaze dreamily up at me. His eyes are a perfect shade of blue like mine but he looks so much like Max it hurts. This kid is beautiful and he’s mine.
“Olivia and her family will be over later for dinner. If you’re not feeling up to it, I can reschedule,” he says, as he makes silly faces at our baby.
Ethan coos and gurgles at his daddy.
These two are too adorable.
“I feel good. I want to see them,” I assure him.
He leans forward and kisses my mouth as Ethan greedily finds the breast again. “You make me feel young again, Dorian Dresser Rowe.”
My heart patters at hearing my new last name. It never gets old. “You make me feel loved again, Maximillian Edward Rowe.”
We both grin before he attacks my mouth once more.
Flames of love and desire surge through me.
Carson spent so much time trying to snuff me out. And at one time, I’d thought he had. But then a formidable and brutally handsome judge stepped into my life. He picked me up when I thought I’d never get up again. Dusted me off and looked right in my eyes. Max made me feel worthy and valued and like I was something special. He rekindled that fire and continually feeds it to this day. With every kind word, sensual touch, and sweet kiss, I fall deeper into the raging flames of love we make.
The internship. Law school. My career. All of those are exciting and I’m thrilled to be on that journey.
But my favorite adventure is the one I set out on every day with Max. Together we experience new things. Together we share our love and enjoy life.
Together we are…
Simply together.
And that’s better than anything I could ever imagine.
I hope you enjoyed Max and Dorian’s story!
