Chapter: BonusCarter’s PoV: I exited the bathroom, making my way towards the bed. Ryder was already tucked in, laying on my side of the bed, my pillow held tightly in his arms. “You can hug the real thing.” I said as I climbed next to my husband, my arms finding their way around Ryder’s body and lips brushing softly over his nape , making him shudder. “It took you too long to brush your teeth.” “I also took a dump.” I teased, hearing Ryder groan a sleepy response. “Tired?” I asked, rubbing Ryder’s tummy softly and feeling him arch against me. He just hummed a husky response, pressing his muscular body closer to mine. The sensation of Ryder’s hard abs against my fingertips made my own body heat up. My lips locked on the skin of his neck and hands travelled towards his chest, each kiss, bite and touch being accompanied by Ryder’s q

Chapter: Epilogue Carter's PoV: I walked into the kitchen, a wicked smirk making its way onto my face as I saw my husband leaned against the counter, a cup of tea steaming between his fingers. He was wearing a white apron, "The chef's kiss is the best" being written with sparkling glitter over his chest. I bought that appron for him. "Morning, love!" I said as I made my way between my husband's legs, lifting him onto the counter and making him yelp in surprise. Fifteen years had passed since my legs have been amputated and fourteen years since I got my prosthetics. Now, I had two robotic legs and could walk like a normal person. It was all thanks to Ryder Morris. I don't

Chapter: Thirty-fifth step I kept staring at the door, my mind immersing in all kinds of dark thoughts. I hoped my nightmare this morning wasn’t a sign something bad was going to happen. "Carter?" I asked again, trying the handle for a few more times before starting to knock on the door. "Hey, are you ok? Why is the door locked?" I looked around, wal

Chapter: Thirty-fourth stepTriggering content ahead! Everything seemed to be crying…The hinges of the rusty gate, the crows twirling menacingly in the air, even the black dressed people clustering in front of the grave. Something rose to my throat, and I didn’t know if it was bile or my heart trying to burst out of my chest. With reluctant steps I approached the horde of people, looking down, not trusting my eyes to not betray my sorrow… even though we all shared the same pain today. I passed everyone silently, hands touching me and squeezing my shoulders reassu

Chapter: Thirty-third stepOnce he saw us, Jason’s eyes widened and he hurried to leave. Good thing my fists reacted faster than my brain because with one swing of my arm, Jason was launched at the ground and rendered unconscious.“SIMON!” Ivy’s terrified scream pierced through the thin atmosphere and I spun around to see him backing away from the edge of the roof, his palms pressed over his mouth. Aubrey was standing next to the door, his entire body trembling as he grabbed Simon’s phone and ended the live.Carefully, I made my way towards my brother, pulling him into my embrace and cradling him at my chest as he shook and sobbed. Looking at the ground, I winced at the sight, quickly looking away as bile rose to my throat.“Aubrey, don’t come over. Call an ambulance and the police.”Aubrey nodded, his hands fumbling with his phone and voice breaking as he talked with the dispatcher.I turned my attention back to my brother.“Shh, love, shh. Everything is g

Chapter: Thirty-second stepMonday I was back to lectures. I really didn’t want to be here because Carter was going to have his surgery today, but my classes ended at twelve so if I rushed, I could get to hospital in time to see Carter before they sent him to the operation room. His dads also came back yesterday so they would be there with him. Still, I wanted to support Carter, to ease his worries and make sure he comes out of the surgery safely.My phone rang.“Hello, my eager rider. How was your day?”I rolled my eyes at Carter’s “pun”.“Hi, asshole. It was uneventful. How about yours?” I asked as I left the lecture room, finally being done with my classes for the day.“Depressing without you around to entertain me.”“I am not a buffoon to entertain you.”“I know, love. I might be desperate, but I wouldn’t go as low as to date a buffoon. A clown, maybe. I mean, I date you...”“Rude ass bitch.” I muttered and Carter gifted me with a wholehearted lau
