His mouth falls open. “What are you talking about?”

I grin. “She saw me kiss you at the door the other night. When she mentioned it, I got all ready to have an uncomfortable conversation about relationships, but the first thing she asked was when you could move in with us. That was it. That was all she wanted to know.”

Joey laughs softly. “I should have known we couldn’t keep it from her for long. She’s a helper and she notices everything. What did you tell her?”

“That I would work on it and keep her updated.”

“But we should still keep this low key for now.”

“Why? I don’t want to keep it low key from anyone. And before you ask, I’m talking to my manager in the morning and seeing what our options are. I’m not asking for permission to love who I love. But no matter what he or the team owners or anyone else says, I won’t be changing my mind.”

“So, we’re dating?”

“Well, now, I’ve never been in love before, but I’d say what we’re doing is a hell of a lot more serious than dating.”

Then he’s kissing me back and telling me he loves me every time he takes a breath. Telling me again as I follow him down onto his bed and get us both out of our clothes. With every touch. Every moan. Every stroke of his tongue he tells me that he’s trusting me. Taking that leap for this. For us.

Love you.

Thank God.
