"And yesterday I was only slightly nauseated, and today no nausea See…I’ up in the chair, Garrett anchors his legs on either side This causes me to rise up and straddle his lap His hands cohs and his face is only inches away "Have you ever wondered what it is that could cause aways and only have eyes for one very hot and sexy wo about is ivesback just as quickly "Yes…I’ about you, dork"

I wrap my arms around Garrett’s neck and stare at him intently My voice is utterly serious when I tell hie your ways for ht now"

"See…that’s just it," Garrett says with annoyance "You are an easy woht now The easiest I’ve ever been with"

"Hey, don’t hold it against me that I hopped in the sack with you on our first date," I tease

"No…I’ with you is easy Conversation, hu on a performance with you, and I know you don’t need me to You like me for me, and I like you because of that It’s just nice to be with so easy"

"But you know everything aboutwith my cancer is easy," I say quietly

"That’s true," he says after a ers play absently with the hair on the back of his head and I chew onmy eyes to his, I say, "I think you’re a very special man You took a chance…stepped out of your coht into a hornet’s nest Not th or confidence"

Garrett’s big hands stroke up over ht?"

"Big tirin, and then nip at his lips "But seriously…never in a ine that when you and Iother than a quick fling, and you weren’t either It’s kind of surreal"

"I’rin

"Me too Now, can we go have sex?"

Garrett stands up froht with hio cool off in the water for a bit"

I sticka little tired froh in the last few days So, I hang on tight to Garrett while he carries me down to the water

--

My eyes blink open as theI notice is that I’ry I haven’t felt like that for several days, and I think it’s safe to say that the nausea is co I notice is that I’m hot because Garrett’s body is practically wrapped aroundI notice is that I have to pee…really bad, so I rip and head to the bathrooe glass of orange juice I think I’ll cook both of us a big breakfast, and I smile…because that would be a nice way to wake Garrett up

Breakfast in bed

Of course, I can think of an even nicer way to wake hiht now Setting lass on the counter, I head into the bedroom and take a moment to watch Garrett sleep After I escaped his clutches, he rolled onto his back and his head is turned my way His face looks so peaceful…almost boyish in his slumber The arm with the blackbird tattooed on the inside of his biceps is thrown over his head and his other arm rests casually over his stoers itch to get at him

I quickly but silently take off my clothes and stealthily creep back into bed so as not to wake hi, I reach out and carefully pull the edge of the sheet up froone to sleep before he did last night, but he had stripped down to his boxers before getting into bed We had gone for another walk on the beach after dinner, and by the tiuess Garrett was right…I was still a little weak fro

The boxers present a little bit of a problem for ain access to what lies underneath without waking him up Possibly I can just slip h the fly in the front Regardless, I know once I get in, I’ll have to be very efficient in et him crazy with lust while he’s still incapacitated by sleep so he can’t put o with the fly approach It’s stealthier, andwith the prospect of what I’m about to do I reachat ht, practically scra backward off the bed as I drop the sheet I had been holding up
