By the time he finishes, I’ve got tears streaming down my face. This is unbelievable. “You did all this? What if they would have said no?”
“I would have figured out something else… This is my apology to you. Not once did you give up on me after Vault let you go. You didn’t blame me when you had every right to.”
I could never put that on his shoulders, it would have crushed him, and I love Sully far too much to ever hurt him. No matter how upset I was. Deep down, I knew how that story would end. I knew the consequences, but my need for him was too great to say no. “Sully, we were both playing a dangerous game, baby. That responsibility doesn’t fall on you.”
He takes a long look at the ceiling, shakes his head, then kisses me. “You are the most incredible woman… and you’re great at what you do. There is no one else I would want in charge of documenting the Rogues, my career, and us.”
I nod. This is our love story. It’s messy but it’s ours.
“And after this project is done, you can get started on the list of projects you told me about at the hotel.”
Time stands still, a weightless sensation comes over me. Am I dreaming?
“So… what do you think?” he asks.
This is huge. I can’t believe he did this for me. This is my dream. I’m unable to speak because I’m holding back a sob, soI nod profusely against him. “Oh, and yes,” I say with choked laughter. “Let’s do it.”
“Hell yeah…” He kisses my temple and rubs a hand up and down my back. “You are going to nail it.”
I inhale and let it out slowly before swallowing the lump of emotion clogging my throat. “I can’t believe this,” I say, my shoulders shaking.
“Deep breaths.” He chuckles. “I’ll take care of MNSports and let them know you’re in, and we can get a meeting set up. Now all you need to do is figure out what demeanor you want to use when you tell Vault to pound sand.”
I laugh, and another wave of happiness rolls over me. “Oh my God!” I squeal with a huge smile. “Sully, I have my own project!”
This is the best day of my life.
I kneel on the sofa in front of him so we’re eye level. “I’m so happy.”
“Me too.” His smile is so gorgeous. It reminds me of the first night we met.
“I love you.”
I’ve never smiled so big in my life. “I love you too.”
He cups my face in his massive palms and kisses me, and I know he’s telling me the truth because I feel his love in it, and I accept it, giving him all of me in return.
“Do you have the reel? Can I see it?”
He nods and digs out his phone, tapping the screen. We settle into the sofa again, with me between his legs resting my back against his chest. My heart is soaring. He holds the screen in front of me and taps the button, starting a video.
I stare in awe as it plays through. Oh my God, I’m watching us fall in love. It’s the best footage ever. It’s real and honest and raw. The feelings shared between us on camera are subtle yet, under the context, so loud. You can see everything in our eyes and the way we look at each other.
Sully drops his mouth to my ear. “I love you so much, baby.”
I bring my hand behind his neck again and smile. “This is so beautiful… It’s us.” I can’t believe how much of us was caught on film. It’s almost as if Lance and the guys knew I’d want this someday.
“You’ll still be the producer and work with editing to go through footage. You control the narrative. Regardless of what this trailer shows, it’s still your show, Kendra.”
Once it plays through, he shows me some bonus footage that Lance sent over just in case they needed extra persuasion. Some of it shows me behind the scenes. I’ve never watched myself do my job before. My brain is already reeling with ideas. It’s an amazing project.
It’s perfect, and I can’t wait to get started.
Kendra has hit the thirty-four weeks and is more gorgeous than ever as we walk toward Joey’s place. When I agreed to let the team throw a baby shower for Kendra, it was under the condition I could supervise. After that dick-sucking conversation, I’m not going to abandon her with these feral women. And if the twenty-four inch vagina piñata is any indication, I’d say I made the right call.What in the actual fuck?
The entire team is here, along with some of the Lakes wives and girlfriends. It’s cramped in Joey’s apartment; I can’t believe the team let her host. This looks more like a bachelorette party than a baby shower.
“If you feel uncomfortable and want to leave—at any time—just blink twice.”
