When Gavin shifts his weight off me, I miss it so keenly it almost hurts. But he returns shortly, pressing a damp washcloth between my legs.

Then he kisses my shoulder, my spine, all the way down to the curve of my butt.

I’ve never felt more adored—or more exposed.

“What did we just do?” I whisper, my cheeks flaming.

“Something that was a lot of fun,” he says with a rumble of laughter as he stretches out beside me.

I turn my face and look at him. At those glittering eyes and that beautiful smile. “Definitely that.”

But it was more than just fun. Just when I think we’re as close as two people can get, he finds a way to get even deeper into my soul.

Right now, though, he’s not worried about anything existential. He hauls me on top of him, wrapping his arms around my naked body. “We should get up and make some breakfast.”

My stomach gurgles on command.

I slide out of bed and grab his tuxedo shirt off the chair on my way into the bathroom.

When I come out, he’s gone, and I can hear him whistling downstairs. I do up enough buttons to be covered in case an RCMP officer busts into the house for matters of national security, then I follow the sound of a very happy man.

I find him in the kitchen. He’s waiting for the coffee maker to finish hissing, and he’s reading emails on his phone again.

Like me, he pulled on something to be decent, just in case. Grey sweatpants. Good lord, be still my heart. My eyes gobble up the curve of his ass and the long, strong stretch of leg down to his bare feet.

The muscles in his back flex and ripple as he opens a cupboard and pulls down two mugs with one big hand.

The other is still typing a reply on his phone.

I clear my throat and he pauses half a beat, then turns around.

He gives me an amused smile that tells me I managed to startle him even though he suppressed the reaction.

“Important work?” I ask with a smile.

“Not as important as you.” He puts the phone down and pulls me close. I get lost in the bright blue of his eyes as he lowers his head, and his lips—light and sweet—almost surprise me as he presses against my mouth. “Not today.”

Part of the deal of loving Gavin means that some days—most days—that’s not the answer. I’m more than okay with that, but I love that he goes out of his way to put me first when he can.

And he puts me first where it matters. He’s always got me in his heart, even if his mind and body need to be elsewhere.

I soften into his embrace, savouring the sweetness of his kiss. When we finally break apart, he puts his forehead on mine and just smiles at me.

Dirty sex is…incredible. But this? Nothing means more to me than this moment. His eyes on me, his hands on my hips, and that secret smile that wraps all the way around both of us.
