INEVITABLE

"Inevitable."

She hums at the whisper in her ear, her eyes closing again as she feels his lips ghost over the side of her neck.

"Meant. To. Be."

She hears him say in between open-mouthed kisses now as he works his way up to the other side of her face. She feels his breath hot against her skin, his tongue slowly slipping out and touching her earlobe before he kissed her again.

"We were meant to happen."

She hums again, in complete bliss, and she brings her hand to his face, cradling him there as she runs her thumb over his cheek.

He smiles at her touch, brings his hand to cover hers, and he turns it then. Kissing the palm of her hand and then the ring he had placed there not even forty-eight hours ago.

"Thank you," she whispers then, and his gaze refocuses from her ring to her face. His stare locking with hers, and she feels so blissfully happy in the arms of her husband, she can't help but say it.

"For making me the happiest woman alive and giving me everything."

She knows he knows how she feels about him, but seeing those lips curl up and that Cheshire Cat smile appearing on her face makes her love him even more.

"You know," she whispers then, turning her hand in his so that their fingers intertwine. "I never could have had this with anyone else."

She watches him blink back a tear, her smile matching his own. She pulls him closer then, bringing his lips to her own as she gives him a soft peck. "I love you so much."
