The day has been nothing short of a dream. From the moment you woke up, Rafe had been spoiling you—designer bags, expensive jewelry, a surprise getaway planned for the weekend. He refused to let you lift a finger, making sure you felt like absolute royalty on your birthday. And now, the night is winding down in his room, the soft glow of his bedside lamp casting shadows along the walls.

You sit on Rafe’s bed, your legs tucked under you as you admire the latest gift he just placed in your hands—an elegant, velvet-lined box with something undoubtedly extravagant inside.

“Rafe, you didn’t have to do all this,” you say, shaking your head with a small smile. “You’ve already given me so much today.”

He’s leaning against the headboard, one arm draped over his knee, watching you with that signature smirk. “Yeah, well, you only have one birthday a year, baby. I gotta make it count.”

You open the box, your breath catching at the sight of a delicate diamond necklace—simple yet stunning. Rafe reaches forward, taking it from you before gently brushing your hair aside and clasping it around your neck. His fingers trail lightly along your collarbone, sending shivers down your spine.

“Perfect,” he murmurs, his lips ghosting over your skin.

You turn to face him, your hands resting on his chest. “You really went all out for me today, huh?”

His blue eyes darken slightly as he tilts your chin up. “I’m not done yet.”

Your heart skips a beat as he leans in, his lips barely touching yours before he whispers, “Got one more present for you, birthday girl.”

The heat in his gaze makes your stomach flip, and before you can say anything, he’s already got you pinned beneath him, his lips trailing down your jaw, his hands exploring like he’s been waiting for this moment all day.

“Hope you’re not too tired,” Rafe murmurs against your skin, his voice laced with amusement and something deeper. ”Cause I plan on making sure you remember this birthday for a long, long time.”
