After Christian left, I locked everything up tight and then flung my clothes every which way in a determined effort to be unconscious and in bed as quickly as possible. Vale beat me to it, but it was no hardship sliding beneath the sheets and curling into his hard body.

He rested his arm across me and he kissed my forehead. "We're making good progress, Moody. Everything that's happening is good."

I appreciated his support. Sometimes I worried I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, blindly following my hunches. Passion I had tons of, but I couldn't say that I was particularly patient or meticulous. But I believed he was right. We were one step ahead of the Oddsmakers, and in this situation one step could mean a mile.

Energized by that shot of optimism, I slid my hand down Vale's body. He startled, but his surprise quickly turned to desire. He kicked the sheets off the bed, effectively kicking off any pretense of going right to sleep.

Some would say the timing was bad. The world could end at any minute if Vagasso managed to open the seals, and here were Vale and I, doing the bump and grind. Talk about messed up priorities.

But I would have said to those people that survival wasn't simply about being alive. To truly live, you needed to be with the people you loved and cared about. Vale needed this connection and I needed it even more. We needed to wrap ourselves in the strength and beauty of our partnership, and renew our desire to be together for as long as we could. That meant no end of the world scenarios, no fearing what would happen tomorrow. Those thoughts had a funny way of cutting the good times short.

I gasped into Vale's mouth and he returned a moan into mine. The lights were off but my fingers described to me every firm, muscled inch of him. His hands on my skin were just as busy, both demanding and protective as they caressed and teased. He knew me well, and he showed it through his touch.

As our lust climbed, he pulled my body up against his. He moved with confidence and surety of what I would like and I surrendered to that. This bed was his domain and he proved it to us both again and again, but a little slap on the ass helped temper his ego a bit.

He paused above me, eyes alight with amusement and speculation.

I blushed. "Don't say a word," I warned him. Then I pulled him down to my mouth where he obeyed me by kissing me senseless.

He loved me until the sky began to lighten and his limbs grew sluggish. I caressed his hair and watched the change come over him, promising him without words that he was safe with me, and always would be. When he was stone, I gently set him on the nightstand beside me, then closed my eyes. I fell asleep to the sound of footsteps pacing on the roof.
