Tyler lay next to Courtney, his arm tucked up under her, her hair sprawled out over his chest and the pillow.

His chest heaved from the breath he tried to capture in his lungs.

Sweat glimmered on Courtney’s skin. Her heart raced against his chest and her breath warmed his skin. Not only had he seen every inch of her more-than-perfect body, he’d touched it, and tasted it. She’d quivered under his touch. Moaned under his tasting. And stifled the scream he’d brought out in her by biting down on his shoulder as he’d spilled over from what she’d done to him.

He’d been glad he’d had the foresight to stop at the corner store and buy a box of condoms. It had been awhile since he’d been with a woman. There wasn’t a supply of them tucked in his wallet or car.

He thought about the moment he’d stopped and reached for the box he’d shoved in his jean pocket. For a moment, he’d thought Courtney was going to cry because he’d even given thought of protecting her—them.

She moaned against his skin. “I’ve never felt like that before.”

Tyler brushed her hair from her forehead. “You’re going to explode my ego.”

“It deserves it.” She pressed a kiss to his chest. “I never thought someone would take such care of me. I mean you carried me up the stairs. You didn’t just have sex with me.”

Tyler ran a hand down her back. “You’re more than that to me.”

“I just keep waiting for the moment when that’s all I am.”

“It’s not going to happen.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead.

“I believe that from you.” She lifted her head and turned toward him. “I’ve always accepted what happened to me. It sucks. Don’t get me wrong. It might have been better if I hadn’t always known what being sighted was like. But it happened. I am who I am because of it.”

She trailed her fingers down his breastbone and back up. “And I believe the world is full of good people. You know, the kind that don’t judge a person’s ability on whether they can see or not. But I’ve learned that people in general are not patient enough for people like me.”

Tyler rolled her so that she was on her back and he was looking down at her. “I’m a very patient person.” He laid his lips on the crevice of her neck and trailed more over her shoulder. “You’ll meet my family tomorrow and you’ll understand where I get my patience.”

Courtney smiled as he moved his mouth back to hers. “Your family won’t judge me?”

“No. Not a one of them. Talk about a group that accepts anyone—everyone. My mother, aunt, and uncle were adopted. My sister was given up for adoption and then reunited with our family—so I consider her adopted back,” he said and she giggled under him. “My Aunt Simone was as far from normal as I suppose you could get for my uncle. And Warner Wright…” He propped himself up on his arm and thought.
