Making love to Katherine in my office feels different this time.
Not desperate like before or stolen moments between crises.
This is us - powerful, equal, and choosing each other.
I lift her onto the desk, and she wraps her legs around me. We're frantic and slow at the same time, relearning each other in this new life.
"I love you," she gasps. "God, Tony, I love you."
"I love you too. So much."
After, we're tangled together on my office couch. Katherine's head on my chest, both of us catching our breath.
"We should do this more often," she says.
"What? Have sex in my office?" I winked
"You wish! I meant build our empire together - all of it. Business, personal... everything."
"Sounds perfect."
We lie there, contented and happy.
For the first time in two years, the future feels bright instead of terrifying.
Over the next week, I began to notice small things.
