Jessica's POV
The sensation overwhelmed every part of me.
With each movement as he filled me completely, every shift of his body against mine, the feeling was absolutely incredible. Perhaps it was because I finally understood, maybe because I finally allowed myself to feel everything.
"Caleb," I breathed against his skin, pulling him closer and pressing my mouth to his.
"I know," he murmured against my lips, his voice raw with emotion. "I know, sweetheart."
No words could capture what passed between us, because somehow we both understood. We both recognized that everything had shifted. Nothing would be the same between us again. And I knew it was because of my choice.
Because I had finally stopped running from what we could be.
Because I chose to release the burden I carried and begin to heal. Because I decided to open my heart to love once more.
