that’s a sound that makes me realise just how happy I really am right now. How truly, gut-wrenchingly, disgustingly happy I am. ‘I guess.’
I look at him, right into his eyes, and I let my stomach do those flips and let loose those butterflies that never stop escaping every time he’s near me. I let all of that go, once. I don’t ever intend to let it happen again. ‘I love you, Neal.’
‘I love you, too, Kira. I freaking love you, too, baby.’
I close my eyes as his mouth touches mine again, his lips warm and soft, the taste of him heady as we kiss here on the deck of our beautiful Malibu beach house. And I still can’t believe I’m here. I can’t believe how much my life has changed; what we’ve been through. But we survived. We dealt with the pain and the crap and the people who said we’d never be more than each others’ obsession. We dealt with it all. We survived. We surrendered.
I met a man.
And he changed me.
Forever…
The End.
About the author…
Michelle Betham is an ex-media technician turned author of hot, edgy, gritty romance, usually involving rock stars, sports stars, and bikers. But not usually all in the same book. Yet. She is both self-published and published through HarperImpulse, a division of HarperCollins Publishers. Addicted to binge-watching TV dramas she struggles to think of a life before Netflix, loves rock music, tattoos, spicy food, superheroes (which involves an unhealthy obsession with Iron Man), and Keanu Reeves – a crush that's lasted over twenty years, and one she blames entirely on 'Point Break'. The original. She refuses to acknowledge any remake exists…
Her dream is to ride a Harley. And visit Las Vegas. And be able to eat any amount of chocolate without putting on weight.
She lives in County Durham, north-east England, with her husband and West Highland Terrier, where she can be found most days drinking tea and making up stories.
