Hunter grinned. “I thought I already proposed to you?”
“I know, but I don’t want to wait anymore.”
“You want to get married right now?” Hunter’s eyebrows pinched together. They always did when he was confused.
“Not right now, but soon. Next week. Next month. We’ll do something super simple and only invite our closest friends and family.”
“You don’t want the big wedding?”
I shook my head. “The only thing I want is you.” I gripped his hand as another contraction slammed into me. “And for this baby to be born.”
“Then we’ll do it. Soon. You leave everything to me, Summer. I’ve got this.”

They were both amazing and mine. I still couldn’t wrap my mind around how perfect everything was. I’d been a mother for six amazing weeks and a wife for two. Life was perfect. Sometimes it was so perfect it scared me to think of how different things could have turned out.
Hunter reclined in his favorite chair and his newest favorite person slept on his chest. One thousand. That was the number of times I thought my heart was going to burst because it was so full. It never did. It just got bigger. It was a sponge now, absorbing all the love Hunter and our daughter, Emma, had to give.
Hunter’s eyes opened and he caught me staring at him. He winked, then kissed the top of Emma’s head.
One thousand and one.
The End
A Note to My Readers
Thanks you for reading my book. I hope you enjoyed it and will consider leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon.
Revenge is the first of many erotic romance novellas I plan to publish. If you’d like to talk to me about it, I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me on my website or Facebook.

Acknowledgements
It’s almost unreal to me that I’m writing acknowledgements for my first published novella. Even more unreal to me is that it’s an erotic romance. I never set out to write in this genre until a friend gave me a gentle push. So, Jaden, thank you. I’ll probably embarrass your ass and thank you in the back of every book I publish from now on.
I can’t write acknowledgements without thanking Mary. Mary has been a mentor of mine for a long time. Without her, I’d still be some stupid, info-dumping, telling-not-showing, repetitive, idiot writer kid who couldn’t pen her way out of a wet paper sack.
S. A. Starcevic, you are awesome. You listen to me ramble about all my new shiny ideas. You pushed me to submit. You urge me to believe in myself at every turn. Without you, this novella would still be languishing in my heap of files. Thanks also goes to Amber. You always scolded me for not finishing things. Turns out, you’re right. I do need to finish things.
Most of all, I suppose I need to thank my mom and dad for teaching me to love reading. From an early age, reading was encouraged. I grew up in a house of books. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be an author, and this first novella is just the first of many I plan to publish. Books are a great and wonderful thing, and I couldn’t be happier than I am at this moment.
