“I know what I said. I want exactly the same thing. You are the one I want. Today, tomorrow, every day.” Abby kissed her, a firm, fiery, undeniable kiss of ownership. “The answer is yes, Flann.
Always, yes.”
The tension in Flann’s chest eased, and she rested her forehead on Abby’s. “We’ve still got Harper and Presley’s wedding to get through, and—”
Abby laughed. “The wedding planning is not exactly a chore, but it is going to take everyone’s free time for the next little while. And then there’s Blake
”
“We should probably let him get settled in school first,” Flann said, “but I want to house hunt, okay?”
“Absolutely. If the three of us are going to be cohabitating, which it looks as if we are, we need a little more room.”
“Good. I saw a place just at the edge of town that looks perfect. Close enough so Blake can easily see his friends, but there’s good land, Abby. The house needs a little work, but—”
“Let’s go see it.”
“Until I met you,” Flann murmured, easing on top of Abby and framing her face so their eyes met, “I didn’t want to be needed. I was afraid I would fail somehow. That I might not be enough. You make me strong, Abby.”
Abby slid her leg behind Flann’s and pulled her into the cradle of her hips. “You have always been strong. And you’re everything I need.”
“God, Abby,” Flann whispered, feeling the hunger flare to life along with the joy. “You’re everything. I’ll never get enough of you.”
Abby smiled. “I’m glad to hear it, but I don’t mind if you try.”
