"I believe we can work through this together, Gage," Eva continued, her smile warm and reassuring. "You've already learned so much, but maybe there's still more I can teach you."

“There’s definitely a lot more I’ve yet to learn. Human emotions are complex even I know I might take more than a lifetime to be able to fully grasp it all.”

“Then, are we set? Hm? My love? Don’t worry… everything is going to be alright now. I have faith that it’s really all over, Gage.” She smiled at him, confident.

Gage didn’t say anything, but he sagged into her again as he sighed. The way his body was relaxing made her feel relieved because though she knew that he was obviously not convinced, him, relaxing like this was more than enough for her, for now.

"I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you anything more for now, darling," Gage murmured, his voice gravelly yet sweet melody in her ears.

"It’s okay," Eva reassured him, her voice gentle and understanding. "You’ve already revealed quite a lot tonight. We still have tomorrow, and the days after that."

“I love you,” he suddenly said. “I love you, Eva…”

Eva's heart swelled with emotion, her grip on him tightening as she absorbed his words Hearing those words from him was just… heaven. "And I love you…" she responded. "I love you so much, Gage."

Locked in each other's gaze, they leaned in simultaneously, their lips meeting in a tender embrace.

Their kiss was slow, a deliberate exploration of passion and affection. It was a dance of love, a gentle yet intense mingling of souls.

As their lips moved in sync, Eva felt a surge of emotion overwhelm her heart. It was as if all the love, all the longing, and all the pain they had experienced were distilled into this one kiss. It was a kiss that seemed to fill her entire being, a rush of affection so intense that it felt like her heart might burst from the sheer magnitude of it.

As they finally parted, breathless and filled with emotion, they remained close, foreheads touching, basking in the afterglow of their kiss.

Eva reach towards his shirt, her fingers pausing as she sought his consent. "Can I?" she asked, leaving the question open. "Or… do you want to go check on our baby first?"

Gage’s expression softened, a dreamy smile playing on his lips. "Gaia… our Gaia is so cute. I want to, but I don’t want to disturb her sleep, especially after everything she’s been through while we were searching for you."

“We’ll just take a peek if you want.”

He shook his head, a tender smile playing on his lips. "I’d want to hold her if I see her. Our baby’s too adorable to resist, and I still can’t believe that…" His voice trailed off, and he bit his lip, the joy in his eyes momentarily overshadowed by a hint of regret. "I wish I was here with you when…"

"Shh… Let’s leave the serious talk for later," Eva interrupted softly, placing her thumb gently on his lips to quiet him. The sadness and regret that flashed across his eyes made her heart ache. She had often imagined how happy Gage would have been if he had been there with her the past seven years. Because of this, she knew how deeply this issue would affect him now. But they could not go back to the past anymore. All they could do now was move forward and she believed that Gage would definitely make up for all the things he missed.

"Sorry, but we’ll continue our conversation later, my husband. Right now, I can’t wait any longer. You’re just too handsome right now for me to resist." She teased him, parting his lips with her thumb, a playful glint in her eyes.

Gage responded by tenderly suckling on her finger, his demeanor shifting effortlessly from dreamy to irresistibly seductive. Eva felt a surge of arousal at his transformation, the immediate and intense desire washing over her. "I want to devour you, Gage…" she whispered, pressing her finger slightly deeper into his mouth.

He welcomed her advance with a sultry smile, his eyes alight with desire and playful mischief. "Go on, darling… I’m all yours to devour," he murmured, his voice low and inviting.

Eva's heart raced with excitement, and on impulse, she voiced a daring request. "Can I tie you to the bed?" The words slipped out before she could second-guess them.
