The Infinity Between Us Novels & Stories

Everything I will become. Kael joins me, his arm sliding around my waist. "You have been quiet all evening." "I am thinking." "About the Infinite?" "About everything. The Origin. The Observer. The first spark. They all led me here. They all prepared me for this moment." "And what moment is that?" I turn to face him. "The moment I meet the one who created everything. The one who has been waiting since before the beginning." The Infinite arrives at dawn. Not with an army. Not with a declaration of war. It arrives as a shimmer in the air, a warmth in the sun, a whisper in the wind. It is everywhere and nowhere. It is the space between moments. The silence between heartbeats.

“You don’t have to act tough with me.” My chest ached. For one wild second, I thought he was going to kiss me. I panicked. “I—I need air.” I turned and walked away, my steps quick. --- The music was louder near the cars. The fire’s glow was dim behind me. I pulled out my phone to distract myself. A message lit up the screen. Unknown number. “You shouldn't be here” My hands shook. Is someone watching me??

Everyone said my wife, Zoey Harper, was an amazing wife and mom who'd do anything for me and our son, Leo. Leo's doctor warned us three times that he might not make it. Then he died. Zoey claimed she was overseas for work. She wasn't. She'd invited Peter Cole—the first love she'd never gotten over—and his family to our apartment for dinner. I came home carrying Leo's urn, ready to confront her. Instead, she tossed my luggage into the hall. "We have guests, and we're out of rooms. Go stay somewhere else for a few days."

He stands from his seat and grabs a small remote from the table. Suddenly he turned on our music player while their song Infinity was beginning to play in the background. He faced me while closing his eyes as he was just carefully listening to the music. "I've always loved this song. Infinite chances." He says to me but still kept his eyes closed. We both listen to it while his eyes are now staring at me but we are both silent still. “Now I’m one step closer to being two steps far from you When everybody wants you, everybody wants you.”

“Yes, Fin. I want him up front with us.” Infinity leans forward and puts her lips on my ear. Her next words are not only spoken, but she also projects them in the mind link, trying to reach him in the deep recesses of my mind. I am excited for her help to bring him forward, but her moist, hot breath on my sensitive skin sends arousing tingles everywhere. “Eternity, we need you. I need you.” I feel the flutter again. This time its stronger and for longer. “I can smell Josh’s arousal, and I can feel you moving around. Push through the barrier, my love. Come to me.” She demands huskily, not even trying to hide the lust in her voice.

I still had an odd look on my face when I responded “Four” “What of a circle?” “Infinity” I replied without a second thought, wondering where was going with his questions but he paused for a heart beat and this time he moved closer so I could breathe him and feel the impact of his words. With his eyes fixed on mine, with a fiery intensity he said “That’s how much I’ll love you for Jessica – for infinity” My mouth fell slightly open and my heart instantly became and that was when I realized, it was the first time he was saying those words to me.

She knocked on my door like a tax collector demanding payment, urging me to get up and face the world. So, here I stood at the entrance of this dreaded institution we call school, side by side with Zoe, who somehow always manages to radiate positivity even on the crummiest days. I felt like I might throw up; the anxiety was crawling up my ribs, threatening to escape. “Come on, H! You’ll be just fine,” Zoe chirped, casually looping her arm through mine, as if she could physically anchor me to the ground. I shot her a skeptical glance. Zoe was the type of person who saw sunshine in even the cloudiest of skies. She was basically a walking, talking ray of optimism.

“ he don’t love me “ I painfully spoke. It felt difficult to breath and felt like rocks in my throat refusing for me to swallow nor let out. It was stuck and I wanted to be free from all the problems. “ I am sorry “ She pulled me in her arms and hugged me as I finally feeling the touch of someone mine, broke down. I held her arm, crying out loudly with my face buried in her forearms. “ shhh. I am here “ . . . I sat on the bed after changing my clothes as aurora kneeled down in front of me. She held my hands in hers and squeezed them tightly. “ Adeline “ She called my name making me look at her. I let out a deep sigh feeling my heart clenching at the thoughts but I pushed them back. Well, tri

It was quiet, intimate, the kind of look that says more than words ever could. “I found you,” he said simply. I laughed again, soft and shaky. “Yeah. You did.” We stood there, letting the music pulse around us, letting the lights shimmer over our quiet corner of the gym. And I knew, without a single doubt, that we had all the time in the world to make up for lost days, for stolen moments, for everything that had almost kept us apart.

I know I would never tire of her even if we lived forever my need for her infinite, my love infinite. Releasing her lips I kiss the tip of her nose, her forehead and bury my face in her hair inhaling its sweet scent of jasmine and bergamot. I could just stay here like this forever. She has allowed her arms to wrap around me, her embrace warm and loving, her fingers sending shivers of pleasure through me as they lightly trace my back. I am in a state of true bliss as we connect like this, unsure how long we stay wrapped in each other. Eventually I pluck up the courage to ask what I so desperately need to know “Lia are you ready to tell me the truth now?” I whisper into her hair.
