After rolling it around in my head for a bit, I ask, “You really think it’s a good idea?”

“Honestly? I do. I want you around as much as possible.”

I take a huge breath and release it slowly, then nod a little. “Then, okay.”

“Okay?”

“Okay, let’s do it.”

“Seriously?”

I laugh. “Yes.” I shoot him a smile. “Guess I better cancel all my apartment appointments.”

A huge grin overtakes his entire face and soon I’m under him being assaulted with a million kisses as I laugh and try to push him off. Not that I try very hard because I like it. I love how affectionate he is with me. I think I’m becoming addicted to him.

He nibbles his way down my throat. “I love you, Holds.”

“I love you, too, Foxy. So damn much.”

The smile he gives me could light up the night sky.
