After Dereck cleaned me up—for real this time—he carried me into the bathroom, where we got ready for bed.

He didn’t ask if I was spending the night with him, and I didn’t either. We were just doing that. I watched him on his side of the mirror, brushing his teeth, while I did the same. We were both naked, and it was hard not to admire his strength. The muscles bulging out, even when he wasn’t flexing. Despite having an office job, Dereck had the body of someone who went to the gym on a daily basis, and it was taking everything in me not to walk over to him and lick every crease I came into contact with.

I squirmed a little, and he shot me a knowing look.

After, we climbed into bed together, and Dereck adjusted us, placing me on top of him and pulling the covers over us.

I sighed and snuggled in closer to him. I could get used to this.

I shouldn’t get used to this, but at this very moment, he felt too good for me to care about why this wasn’t a good idea.

His rough, calloused hands felt amazing against my soft skin, and I had almost drifted off when he spoke. “Tell me, Lily. Where do you see yourself in five years?”

I picked my head up so I could look at him. His eyes were shuttered, and I didn’t know what he was thinking. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Professionally? Or in my personal life.”

“Both, I guess.”

I shook my head, my mind coming up blank. “Honestly, I have never really given much thought to my future, or at least, not in short-term.” I shrugged, and he smiled encouragingly for me to continue, so I did. “I want to manage a team and help create and bring my designs to life. I’ve been in love with architecture since I was twelve, when Jerimiah took me to Paris in celebration of his business taking off. There we saw the Eiffel Tower, and for the love of me, I couldn’t understand why this building was so famous. It was hideous, especially during the daytime. I think a famous artist once described it as “an ungainly skeleton.” I agree with the sentiment.”

Dereck smiled a little at that, and I mirrored him, offering a small one of my own.

“So, it’s not the Eiffel Tower that inspired you to get that architectural degree at Yale?”

My eyes widened in surprise. “How did you know where I went to school?”

His smile widened. “Your brother told me when he warned me to stay away from you.”

“He did?”

Dereck winced at the high-pitched squeak coming out of me. “Careful, love. Jerimiah was just looking out for you. As he should. You, my beautiful girl, are entirely too sweet for this cruel world.”

“Oh, no. Not you too. Please don’t treat me like breakable glass. I get enough of that from Jerimiah.”

He shook his head, his eyes light with amusement. “No, not breakable glass. But infinitely too precious for the likes of me.
