Her words melt into me like rays from the sun. This woman, the woman that makes my heart race, and my mind wander to her no matter where I am or what I’m doing, is madly and deeply in love with me.

And I’m madly and deeply in love with her.

“Fine, no babies in you…” I climb on top of her, her legs opening wide to let me in. “Your tits then. I’ll put babies on your tits.”

She laughs and the sound shifts everything around us until I feel my life click into place. From the instant she agreed to be mine, I’ve felt that click in all of our moments. It’s a funny thing, having more love inside you than you know what to do with. A love so intensely deep and profound, it changes the way you see colors, hear sounds, and feel—both inside and out.

My mother said I would never have love, that it didn’t exist. But that was only true for her. What I didn’t understand then, what I wholly feel in every crease of my fiber now, is that love only exists when you meet the person who’s meant to evoke it in you.

Love exists. Like the trees exist. And hunger and the stars exist. It’s a palpable thing that both adds weight in your heart and makes you weightless equally. It’s a watercolor of emotions and moments and experiences that are waiting for you if you just open up to it.

I didn’t get it then. I was too stuck, too damaged to let myself feel it.

Then I found Winter Sommers, the woman with two seasons for a name.

Love fucking exists. I get it now.

THE END.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First and foremost, to my husband, my biggest fan; and my amazing kids, E&B—your unconditional love and unlimited support is the most important piece of this puzzle. Without it, I couldn’t do any of this. Your sacrifice means the most.

To my team of PAs—Jasmine “Jazzy Jeff” PA & Chanel Johnson PA (Two Southern Smuts Author Services), and Chelsea PA & Dee PA (Smutty Mama PA Services), you four are my legs. And my brain. And my reminder to work when I get distracted from work, because Jasmine will yell at me and put me on blast publicly. You four truly are a dream team and I’m grateful for every single thing you do for me. Love you, ladies!
