"How are Paul and Marie?" I ask, reveling in the feel of Nix wanting to just hold me for a moment

"They're good He said they'll probably be able to make it up to visit this weekend"

"Aweso dresses so I'll take her on Saturday afternoon into the city"

"While Paul and I can stay here and drink beer, right?"

I giggle The idea of Nix shopping for a wedding dress amuses me to no end "Of course you can stay here with Paul and drink beer Your manliness is always safe with me"

Nix doesn't respond because he's now busy nibbling on my neck His arently caressing o slow but he drives me mad with anticipation

Nix suddenly pulls his body away fro on one ar my face "Move in with me?"

I blink in surprise I'm not sure where this caainst ht even popped into Nix's head We've never discussed anything like this before and a serious discussion was not as on his o

Reaching up to runhis jaw, I ask, "Why, baby? We spend alether between your house and my apartment"

His eyes are dark and serious, but he shrugs his shoulders as if not understanding his own needs "I don't knowit just seeether"

My whole heart sighs with love for this man He wants to htthis is whatmore than to call this place ations

Leaning up, I give hi her rooraduate next year"

Nix lays his forehead against ht"

Pulling his face back, he looks in ain One hand comes up to cup the side of my head, as if he's afraid I'll look away fro his thumb over my cheek, he says, "I just want you to know that this is forever My love for you, that is My heart is a complete slave to you and I just want you by my sidealways"

I can't help h that he will not be surprised by the sudden rush of tears that flood entle smile

"Nixmy world is you and it alill be"

We don't say anything further but another sweet kiss frootten as our hands start roaetht cuts both ways But he also owns my body and I'm completely okay with that

Just as Nix's hand reaches the button onfroainst my lips, "Don't answer"

For a split second, I hesitate because Nix now has my pants open and his hand has just slid into rab my phone "You know I have to answer it"

He doesn't respond but starts kissing asp as I look at the caller ID

Ryan

There's no way I can talk to er sunk deep into me, so I pull at his wrist For a second, he doesn't relent, in fact er in such a way that every ht Then his hand slides out and he gives rin as he kisses me on the end of my nose

My blood is pounding through my veins and I hope the breathless way I answer the phone doesn't reveal the fact that Nix's hand was just down my pants

"Hey, Ryan"

"It's time," he says simply

I look at Nix and he chuckles at the excitement in my eyes "We're on our way"
