"Take your tie and I walked back to the stairs slowly I felt like a fraud going back upstairs to Robin, pretending everything was the sa up the stairs Last night had been one of the best nights ofin me that I didn’t know existed I had felt truly alive for the first time in my life, but noould never be able to explore that connection

"Hey," Robin looked up atonher hair "I thought you went "

"Sorry, had a call and then had a chat with Zane"

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah," I walked over to the closet so that I could avoid looking at her A part ofas I stared at her "He’s fine"

"I suppose that ine finding out that my mother wasn’t really my mother and that my real mother was dead"

"Yeah" I pulled out a shirt and jeans "Life can be a bitch sometimes"

"That’s true" Her voice was soft and I looked back at her She was staring into space with a thoughtful look on her face

"What about you? Where are your parents?"

"Not sure" She looked over at me with a wry smile "My foster parents are in Ohio, but I have no idea where my real parents are"

"I didn’t realize you were adopted"

"I wasn’t adopted" She h five different families until I hit thirteen and then stayed with the saed out of the system"

"That must have been hard" I walked over to her and sat on the bed next to her "I’ed "The older I get the more I realize just how shitty soot lucky One of my foster fathers told me that my father used to beat my mother and then she killed him I don’t know if that is true, but I’m sure it’s true for someone out there"

"I don’t understand people sometimes" I clenched my fists "Or men that hit women and children Or women that hurt children"

"Abuse is horrible" Robin nodded and I looked at her quickly "And no, I was lucky enough to have never been abused"

"Thank God"

"Yeah, I’m lucky that my last foster family was made up of two parents who really cared They weren’t just in it for the paycheck"

"Do you consider them your family?"

"Yeah" She paused and then looked at me et eyes "They loved me They supported me They took care of me It doesn’t matter to me that they aren’t my blood I still love them with all my heart"

"Love isn’t about what family you’re born into" I pulled her into me "Sometimes we form families with people ould never expect to"

"Have you ever--" She started to talk, but I leaned down and kissed her, not wanting to think about anything else All that ether and ere bonding All I wanted was to feel her lips under h and I couldn’t stopmy boxer briefs off at the same time

"Oh, Noah," she moaned as my hand cupped her breast and squeezed I pulled her doith me to the bed and allowed ainst roaned as I continued to kiss and caress her "I need to feel ht and this ain I’m thirsty and only you can quench led

"Don’t you want me as well?"

"Yes, I want you"

"What do you want?"

"I want to feel you inside ofme up internally I want to feel our two bodies become one," she whispered into my ear, and I pushed ency of my need
