“I thought I
had already made them come true.”

His devilish
smile returned. “That was just a small part of what I actually need you here for.”

“So you think that one life
time is enough for whatever you have in that dirty mind of yours?”

He kissed me again and wrapped his shirt around my shoulders. “No time with you will ever be enough, but for now, I want you all for myself.”

“Sounds promising.”

“I also promise to make you the happiest woman in the world, Scarlett. If only you agree to give me a second chance.”

“A second chance to-?”

“To prove that nothing is better than forever of exhausting nights with me.” We both laughed, and I think, my life had never felt as right and as complete as
it did now.

“
Je t`aime
,” I said, caressing his cheek with the back of my hand. I think those words were more than enough to say whatever was left unspoken.

“Why do you love me?”

I smiled, brushing his lips with mine.
“Je t'aime parce que tu es toi, tout simplement —
I love you because you are you, it’s simple.”

“I love you too, Scarlett,” Dominick said, looking into my eyes. “More than I ever loved anyone.
La chose la plus importante que j’ai faite a été de te rencontrer
— The most important thing that I have ever done is meeting you.”

Then he took me in his arms and carried me to the bedroom where the first of our exhausting nights started...

The End.
