Holding Out For A Hero: SEALs, Soldiers, Spies, Cops, FBI Agents and Rangers (173 page)

After the EMP the United States had taken some time to repair the infrastructure, and many things still didn’t operate as they should. It would take a while longer. Thankfully her family and Griff’s had fared well during the EMP, and everyone felt closer and more connected since then. Making their new lives together was so important. Not that they’d gotten off easy. Both had nightmares from time to time, but often they could comfort each other, and the strength they built together eased much of the trauma. Griff had built a new relationship with his sister as well, breaking the co-dependent ties once and for all.

Griff opened his eyes and caught her staring at him. She dropped her towel and crawled on the bed. He drew her into his arms, and as they kissed his body reacted to her with efficiency. His hardness pressed against her belly. When they broke the kiss, he rolled on top of her and settled between her thighs. She was aching and moist and with a lift of her hips she showed him what she needed.

“Do you know how much I love you?” he asked, his voice husky and his eyes hot with emotion.

“Yes. I love you, too. Always.”

He slid deep inside her, locking them together. As they started a primitive dance, she melted in ecstasy.

They’d both learned to share their worries, their hopes and dreams. They’d grown far more sharing life together than apart. They were individuals even stronger when together. They confirmed the one thing she knew with absolute certainty in a world where the lights could extinguish at any time.

They would love each other forever.
