“What?” I asked as I toyed with his hair The sweat had caused so to his forehead

“Now I knohy naked sex is so much better,” he said

I laughed and said, “Right?”

He carefully eased out of h so he could kiss me on the mouth “Yeah, naked sex means less laundry”

“Try again,” I said I was glad that instead of tensing because I was lying on top of him, he seemed to sink into the mattress He wound his arms around my neck

“Luca will save a fortune on laundry detergent”

I kissed him hard and fast “Not even close”

I al me back

“I’ve got it,” he finally said and nodded his head like he’d had so revelation He kissed me victoriously “You won’t need to buy more pajamas!”

I shookcartwheels at the oddaan The men who’d hurt him had tried to wipe it out, but they’d failed

He let out a rough sigh “Fine, if we must” We watched each other in amusement for alove,” he murmured “Okay?”

The change in ters to my heart It spoke voluether would be like Whether it was hard and fast or dirty and rough or soft and slow, it would always be love

“Yeah,” I agreed

He stroked ive hi in my blood But I knew I couldn’t tell him the words that were stuck in my throat, so I swapped them out for a question that would hopefully acco

“Will you co with me tomorrow, Aleks?”
