Now the plan was to begin packing and making arrangements for their move, because it was going to happen soon. Like, two weeks, soon. The facility has openings, so the ladies are going to jump on the opportunity. Richard would be taking care of most of the arrangements, but Shaun and I still offered what help where and whenever we could.

After collecting boxes and spending a few hours at Sylvia’s, we do the same at Millie’s.By the time evening rolls around, we are told to skedaddle.

“Are you sure that’s all we can do for you, Millie?”

“Yes, Abby. You and Shaun have been more than helpful. I can’t tell you enough how much I, well, both Sylvia and I, appreciate you two. Now it’s time for you to go have fun elsewhere. Any special plans for your day tomorrow?”

“Not really…”

“Actually, yes,” Shaun interjected.

“Oh?” I questioned.

“It’s a surprise. I’m cooking something up for her,” he says to Millie.

Her eyes light up with amusement. “Isn’t that sweet.”

“I hope so,” he says, pulling me close.

All I do is flash him a curious smile.

We say our goodbyes and return to Shaun’s where I am getting very comfortable, very quickly.

It makes me nervous… like, this is too good to be true and when is the other shoe going to drop?

“Abby, I need to call Drake. Be right back.” Shaun kisses my forehead as he moves down the hall to the bedroom while I’m chillaxin’ quite nicely on the couch.

I must have dozed off without realizing because I’m startled by Shaun’s lips on my ear.“Hey, sleepyhead,” he coos.

“Mmm, sorry. Didn’t know I was so tired. Call go okay?”

Shaun snuggles by my side, playing with my hair. “Yep. Tomorrow we’ll return your rental, and then Drake and Rachel will pick us up.”

“Nice. Is this part of the surprise you’re cooking up?”

“Maybe…”His mouth begins working its way down my neck and across my collarbone while his hand is making its way up my shirt.

“No hints?”

“None.”

“Can I guess?”

“You can try,” he says in between nibbles. “But I’m not divulging a thing.”

“Hmmm…” I lose all concentration as he works his hands beneath my legs and around my shoulders, cradling me to his warm body.

He proceeds to take me to the bedroom and gently lowers me to the bed. He looks me in the eye while stroking my cheek. “I’ll tell you this much—tomorrow, you’re going to experience the best high of your life. Now, about ravishing your body…”

He claims my mouth and, well, the rest of me.
