Chapter Twenty-Nine

Circe stretched. She could get used to this. Oh, who was she kidding? She couldn’t live without this. She took a moment while Linc was still asleep—more like spent, from their earlier activities—and studied his features.

Would she ever tire of looking at this face?

Never.

His eyes flew open so quickly it startled her. She flinched while her heartbeat raced.

“You scared me,” she admitted. “I thought you were asleep.”

“I felt eyes on me.” He planted a kiss on her lips, lingering. She tasted herself, their sex on his lips, and blushed at the image of what had happened a couple hours ago.

She’d never thought that the expression riding someone’s face was a “thing.” She’d have thought he’d have suffocated, or perhaps that it wouldn’t have been enjoyable.

Oh, my. How wrong she was. It was so very enjoyable.

“What’s putting the color on your cheeks?” he asked softly, a teasing tone in his voice.

She shook her head. She was no wallflower, but she wasn’t quite ready to outright state what was on her mind.

“Subject change?” Linc asked.

And she loved him even more, for getting her. He simply got that she had weird moments. And he let her have them without stepping on her toes.

“Yes. Subject change,” she concurred.

“How are thing for Albani and Rinalli? How are things between you and Albani? Has any of this changed your… what would you call what you have with Albani… a relationship?”

“That’s what I’d call it. Albani and Rinalli are happy to have each other nearby. Albani and I get along better than ever. I mean, I thought we were good before, but now there’s this definite camaraderie that didn’t exist before.”

“Good. So that means you’re happy.”

She wanted to tell him that having him here with her was what made her happy, but didn’t want to be needy. Plus, it was true, what he said: Albani and Rinalli’s proximity, and the role that Circe played in that had brought about a new level in her closeness to Albani. “Yes, I’m happy. You didn’t ask about Dina—how’s she’s doing, how her relationship with Rinalli is coming along.”

“I don’t need to ask. I can see she’s doing well. And I can see that Rinalli being with her mother has given Rinalli a sense of peace that she’s passed on to Dina. This is the happiest I’ve seen her since… ever.” He paused, then continued. “Are you wanting me to ask because of plans and stuff? Is this your way of asking where this is headed?”

Now it was her turn to pause. She didn’t want to tell him how much he meant to her. She didn’t want to tell him anything that would make her vulnerable.

She cursed herself for being this way. For being so difficult at times.

Linc studied her, his expression unreadable. His jaw muscles were working, but it didn’t seem he was angry, just thinking. Finally, he spoke. “I’m not leaving your life. I’m selling my home and moving here to Colorado. I’ll put a down payment on a home as soon as I find the right one.
