Five Weeks Later

"Earth-shattering? Fantastic? Amazing?" He smirks down at me. "Or was it nice, hmmm?"

I can't help but chuckle, he brings it up every time. "Matty, you've been rocking my world for almost five weeks now. I'm sorry that I underestimated how amazing it would be. I fully admit to you that it is life-changing, every time." I pat his arm to reassure him. "I even told Heather that it's the best sex I've ever had." I chuckle again. It's the only sex I've ever had and he knows it. He glares down at me.

"Don't be a brat." He kisses my lips. "But just so you know, you are far and away the best I've ever had also. No comparison."

I smack his arm with outrage, "I better be!"

"You are! I just said you are!" His amused eyes get more serious. "It is so much more when it's with someone you love. I didn't even know it could feel this good." He looks right into my eyes, "I love you, Prim. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Matty."

The truth is that 'earth-shattering' isn't an exaggeration. He makes me feel like a goddess every time. Every touch, kiss and suckle delivered with such care, showing me how much he loves me. He can take some inconsequential part of me, like the inside of my elbow or just to the right of my belly button and completely worship that one spot until I'm a writhing mess. His fingers, his lips, his tongue, all of them working together to make me scream and squirm and beg for more. Always making sure I arrive several times before he even thinks about landing.

And we can't seem to get enough of each other. I would never have thought two people could do it as much as we have. Matty says we have years to make up for. I'm not arguing, but I think it has more to do with us being soulmates than making up for lost time.

Sometimes I worry that it's too much happiness, that something will come along to ruin it. But then I remember the years of agony for both of us when we were apart. We deserve this. We deserve to be happy.

Matty gets into the shower, so I grab my phone. I flip through my apps, check on social media. Then I open the DNA app and my heart leaps. My results are back. It has a little confetti cannon and the notice comes up saying I can check out my results.

I jump up and run to the bathroom, "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Matty my results are back!"

I hear the shower turn off and he steps out and grabs a towel, eager to come over to see. I'm distracted momentarily by his naked body. I really need to draw him. 

He puts his hand on my back, "Baby, no matter what, we are good, right? You're happy?"

I nod, I'm excited and nervous all at once. "You ready?"

He nods, "Yep, let's see what you got."

I press on the double helix icon and a list pops up. At the top is my closest identified relative. It says 'close relative on your father's side'. My heart starts beating harder.

"Who is Carrie Rodriguez? It says she is related to my father."

Matty shakes his head, "Never heard of her." I click on her name and her whole family tree comes up.

Matt's eyes get big like saucers. "She's Hank's sister, look."

My eyebrows go to my hairline, "Hank could be my dad?" My eyes tear up. "Do you think he is, Matty? Oh my gosh, that would be amazing!"

Hank and I have grown closer and closer over the last month. I think of him as a close friend but also a trusted adult. He's been so helpful when making decisions about the house, but also about life choices, like finances and my career. He is a sensible and caring man. I couldn't ask for a better father.
