Surrendering To Him

by Hope Jones

  I nodded, finishing what I was writing, and then set my pen down.

  I was finally getting to the part where I could give Hux his surprise.

  “Okay, one last question and we’re done.” I smiled playfully at him.

  “Shoot,” he said.

  “What would you do if your girlfriend told you she loved you?”

  Before my question, Hux was looking down at his feet, but as soon as the question exited my mouth, his head snapped up. Pure shock was written on his face.

  I had actually caught him by surprise. That was a hard task to do.

  “Are you fucking serious?” he growled.

  I worried my bottom lip between my teeth, hoping he wasn’t angry with me.

  “Yes?” I questioned even myself.

  “You love me?” he asked again.

  “Yes,” I answered more firmly this time, because I did love him.

  Mind, body, and soul.

  Hux lunged toward me, swiping everything off my desk before hauling me across it and lying me down. I was giggling the whole way while Hux peppered me with kisses across my chest and up my neck until he reached my lips.

  His lips brushing against mine, he whispered, “I love you too, woman.”

  Huxley Carson told me he loved me.

  Huxley Carson loved me.

  And my world was complete.

  Hux

  Huxley Carson looked down at the woman sleeping in his arms, pushing the hair off her shoulders. Phoebe had finally surrendered to him, letting go of all her pain and allowing him to help her heal.

  He knew he’d spend the rest of his life with her. As long as she didn’t freak out, the engagement ring in his desk drawer would be on her finger soon and then there’d be a wedding shortly after.

  He pulled Phoebe closer, tucking her into his chest where she fit perfectly, and sighed with contentment, falling into a peaceful slumber.

  The End
