*Rye's POV*

It was beautiful. My fiancé was beautiful. Shyly I tug off my boxers finally as he was distracted by the flow of water in front of him. Shivering in the cool autumn air. Slowly wading in behind him, humming from the warmth of the pool of water. Feeling a slight tug of water as I wade my way toward the taller brunette.

"Hi baby." Jack hums as I nuzzle into his chest and neck.

"Feels good." I groan softly, the warmth of the water almost like a hot bath.

Jack's hands reaching around, beginning to knead into my lower back relaxing me further. Leaning into him, our bodies flushing against each other. Feeling him slowly wade us toward the waterfall, letting the soft stream run over our bodies.

*Jack's POV*

"I remember the first time I saw you." Rye mumbles quietly, lips softly brushing against my neck.

"Mmm?" I hum back, continuing to knead at his lower back.

His body slowly going limp in my hold in the warm water.

"Remember how you caught my eye in that club. You looked so gorgeous standing there with the boys. I could hardly stop staring. And then pulling you into me while we danced. I wanted you there on that dancefloor." He admits quietly.

"I didn't even get to see your face that night." I mumble back, as he lifts his head to look up at me.

Our eyes searching each others until I rest my forehead against his, letting our noses brush against each others. Rye's hands softly resting against my chest now. Only our shoulders and heads above the water in the area we're in.

"I remember the time we met at the café you worked at more." I say, Rye laughing a bit at this.

"Yeah, when Mike was still around." He mumbles a bit sadly.

"I miss him sometimes." I admit. "But he's better off not in any of our lives after what he did."

Silence falls between us for a little as we softly touch each others bodies. No lust behind it, just pure intimacy and love toward each other.

"I was so shy back then." I break the silence. "When we met at the café. I'm sure everyone guessed I would be the submissive one in the relationship had they seen us then."

Even Rye laughs at this before pulling me into a soft kiss.

"They would have been massively wrong."

When we finally climbed out of the water we quickly dried off in the freezing autumn air, throwing on what we needed quickly before I pulled him along the trail.

"Aren't we going deeper into the woods?" Rye asks with slight panic in his voice.

"Yeah, there's a cabin we're staying in." I answer softly, as we round the corner of the path to see the small cabin in front of us.

"We aren't even married yet and I feel like we're on a honeymoon

"We aren't even married yet and I feel like we're on a honeymoon. It's like a fairytale."

I smile at this, looking over to see his features lit up by the moon. His normal caramel colored eyes looking almost onyx in the moonlight. The dark circles under his eyes prominent from lack of sleep.

"Just wanted to treat you to something relaxing. You deserve it baby." I say, kissing his cheek before opening the door to the cabin.

Rye walks around like a child in a candy store. The cabin was very small, but a perfect size for us.

"Come on." I mumble quietly to him, taking him by his hips. "Let's eat and then go shower so we can sleep."

Making us some tea, grabbing out the food from the oven. Turning it off of warm.

"Did the boys do this?" Rye asks softly, looking up to me.

"Yeah baby they did."

Leaning down I kiss him softly.

One more chapter after this and then the epilogue! Thank you all for following along with this journey. Midnight Man and this book have been a major growth for me in my writing and I'm so thankful for this. Peace and love, see you on the stupid side x
