View MoreFrom the author:Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking this journey with Aria and Jude. It has been an absolute joy, a labor of love, to write their story and watch them navigate the treacherous waters of their past to find a love so real and profound it felt tangible. It’s been a privilege to explore these characters, to live in their world, and to share their most vulnerable moments with you. Their love, in all its fierce, messy, and beautiful glory, is something I think we all secretly yearn for—a connection that can truly see and accept another person, flaws and all. I poured a piece of that universal wish into their story, a hope for a love that conquers all.If there’s one thing I hope you take away from their story, it’s this: love is the most powerful force in the universe. It can outweigh insecurities, conquer past hurts, and build a future stronger than anything life throws at it. It doesn’t matter your size or your weight or the mistakes you’ve made. Real love
Jude POVHer body was a masterpiece of soft curves and trembling muscles, a canvas painted with the sweat of our exertion. I watched her face as she came down from her high, her eyes fluttering open, a dazed, sated look in their depths that made my chest swell with a primal, possessive pride. She was so fucking beautiful like this. Wrecked. Ruined. Mine.I was still buried inside her, and the feeling was so exquisite, so right, that I had no intention of ever leaving. My cock, instead of softening in the aftermath, was still rock-hard, a testament to the insatiable hunger she ignited in me. A decade with this woman, and I was still like a fucking teenager around her. More, even.“Jude,” she breathed, her voice a soft, awed whisper, her walls fluttering around me. “You’re still…”A slow, predatory grin spread across my face. “Oh, baby,” I growled, my voice a low, rough murmur. “We’re not even close to being done.”I rolled us over, my body covering hers, my weight a familiar, comfortin
Aria POVHe was a force of nature, a beautiful, brutal storm of muscle and need, and I was the ground he was determined to break. His thrusts were hard, deep, punishing, a relentless rhythm that stole the air from my lungs and sent shockwaves of pleasure radiating through my entire body. My nails dug into the sweat-slicked skin of his back, my legs wrapped tightly around his waist, meeting him stroke for stroke, a desperate, aching need for more driving me wild.“Is this what you wanted, Aria?” he growled, his voice a low, possessive sound against my ear, his teeth nipping at my earlobe. “You wanted to tease me all day in that little bikini? This is what you get.”“Jude,” I sobbed, my head falling back, my eyes squeezing shut as a particularly hard thrust sent a wave of pure, unadulterated ecstasy coursing through my veins. “God, yes. Don’t stop. Please, don’t stop.”“Never,” he grunted, his movements becoming a little more urgent, a little more demanding. He was marking me, claiming
Jude POVThe sun began its slow, lazy descent, painting the sky in brilliant strokes of orange and pink. The energy that had fueled our children all day was finally waning, replaced by a heavy, sleepy-eyed contentment. Louis was practically asleep on his feet, his head lolling against my shoulder as I carried him back to the suite, his little body limp and trusting. Chloe, ever the determined one, was still trying to walk, but her steps were slow and clumsy, her small hand wrapped tightly around Aria’s finger.“I think someone’s ready for a nap,” Aria said, her voice a soft, tired murmur, a small, fond smile playing on her lips.“I think two someones are,” I replied, my voice a low, gentle rumble. I nudged our hotel suite door open with my foot, the cool, air-conditioned air a welcome relief from the humid, salt-laced breeze outside.The next half hour was a familiar, well-practiced dance of bedtime rituals. We got them cleaned up, their sandy, salty skin scrubbed clean in the giant b
Aria's POVThe weeks flew by in a whirlwind of dates, laughter, and stolen kisses. Jude was true to his word, going above and beyond to prove that he was different from Tim, making me feel cared for, cherished, and wanted in a way I had never experienced before.Flashback: Our First DateI remember
Aria POVThe days were blurring together, each one feeling like a carbon copy of the last. I was desperate to escape this oppressive funk that had settled over me. Of course, Mother Nature had other plans. My period decided to make its unwelcome appearance, because why wouldn't it? Seriously, what
Jude’s departure left a void in the room, but Chloe’s presence was a warm, immediate balm. She didn’t pressure me to talk, just suggested we raid the mini-fridge for some truly terrible coffee and wait for game time. We were sitting cross-legged on his roommate’s perfectly
The morning that followed was a whirlwind of focused, masculine energy. The sleepy, romantic boy from the night before vanished, replaced by the focused, disciplined quarterback. He was up and at ‘em, pulling on his athletic gear and grabbing a protein shake from the mini-fridge with a prac
