Emma felt a bit of guilt over everything she’d put Alex through for so long, teasing him the way that she did, however unintentionally. She’d just never realized that she loved him, largely because she’d never considered love at all. But none of that really mattered anymore. They had each other, and Emma was happy. All she wanted to do was make Alex as happy as he made her.
She grinned when he quite literally disrobed her, tracing a fingertip on his chest. “I do enjoy a good challenge, it’s true. But I also enjoy being totally believed, so there’s that.” She hummed a very pleased sound at the gentle bite. “I’m very self-aware. Well... now, anyway.”
