Key To His Heart ✔

Epilogue

SIX YEARS LATER

Jairus woke up to find Kiara still sleeping peacefully in his arms. He smiled and kissed her forehead softly. She stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up.

He frowned but decided to try something else. He softly kissed her lips and run his tongue across her lips but still nothing, until he saw a small smile play on her lips.

He grinned and kissed her again, this time he felt her kiss back.

"Morning honey," She whispered against his lips.

"Mhmm, morning Kiara, what took you so long?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've been trying to get you to wake up for a while now."

"Oh, well I was enjoying my dream to much to wake up." She said blushing slightly.

"What was the dream about?" He asked moving his lips along her neck.

"Well, you bought me a puppy and you were topless." She said smiling.

"A puppy huh? Well I don't know about that but the topless part is synch," He answered pulling his wife beater off.

Kiara giggled but kissed him square on the lips and he moved to hover over her. She ran her hands over his well-defined chest causing him to moan into her mouth.

She smiled into the kiss and started placing kisses over his neck and down his chest just as she reached the top of his six-pack.

"Mom called last night and said they can't still go home because of the thunderstorm in San Francisco. I'm worried. I hope they're safe." Kiara said wearing that worried face.

"They'll be fine, baby."

"You think so?

"Yeah, I do." He kissed her hair and rubbed his hand up and down her back comfortingly.

He would every so often kiss her hair, head or temple while she closed her eyes and tried to push all the bad thoughts out of her head.

After a short while, she relaxed against Jairus and he felt it. "Feeling better now?"

"Yeah a little, thank you. I needed that." She kissed his cheek.

"Hey anytime okay, I'm always here for you no matter what." He kissed her softly on the lips.

She smiled and kissed him back. They pulled away and Kiara spoke first. "We should probably get up now, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess but I'm in no hurry." He said pulling her closer.

They lay there for a little while longer occasionally kissing any bare skin that either could reach.

"Uhm, okay Kiara Ruiz-Santiago, you are one strange girl."

"But you love me for it."

"But I love you extra for it." He answered nuzzling their noses together before kissing her sweetly.

***

After a thirty minutes car ride, Jairus was finally home. He parked his car quickly in the garage and jogged to the elevator, pressing his floor number.

He waited until the elevator dinged alerting him that he was on his floor, only two apartments were on each floor so Kiara and he had quite a large apartment, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. He turned the key in his lock and opened the door, he could resist calling out.
