Chapter Seven

Uriel

Beautiful orbs of hazel brown met his blurry gaze as he blinked awake.

Mere inches from his face, they startled him until his vision focused enough to realize they belonged to the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

“Hi,” he whispered muzzily, his body still fighting off the last vestiges of sleep.

“Good morning,” she said equally softly.

He dipped his head to her and kissed her softly but firmly, without hesitation.

“Is it morning?” he asked, just now beginning to be aware of the environment around him. For the majority of the evening his sole focus had been her, and he had ignored everything else, wanting nothing more than to lose himself within her world.

And he had. Over, and over again.

“It is,” she said with a smile, giving him a brush of her lips in return.

“Thank you,” he said abruptly.

Sydney frowned. “For what?”

He grimaced, feeling embarrassed, but forged ahead nonetheless. “For being with me the way you were yesterday. For keeping my...” he hesitated over the proper word to use, “limitations, in mind, but not caring nor showing frustration. I—” His voice failed him momentarily.

“Hush,” she said, leaning closer, her hand touching his face as she kissed him, and then again, and again.

“No, I need to say it,” he said with more force this time. “Losing an arm gives you a few insecurities in the whole looks and confidence game,” he said, managing to smile as he said it. “I know that what’s going on between us isn’t just about that, but I’m not sure I could tell you how at ease you make me feel because of it.”

“Oh Uriel,” she whispered, pulling his head to hers. “I’m sure I’ll never be able to truly understand what it’s like, but rest assured, it’s not the end of the world to me. There’s more to you than just two arms. Besides, with your strength, you don’t really need it,” she said, her voice becoming feisty at the end. Without warning her hand shot out and caressed his cock once more.

Uriel’s phone beeped rapidly in quick succession, an identifiable pattern.

He swore softly. “Shit, that’s the sign for a pickup.” All thoughts of intimacy were banished as his brain clamored at him to report for duty. Part of him wanted to remain in bed with Sydney, but he knew that was selfish of him. He had a responsibility, and it was high time he started fulfilling it. She would understand that.

“I thought you were on leave?” she asked. There was no judgment in her voice, only curiosity.

“I am. Technically I don’t have to go, but I still get the notifications.”

“Would you even get there in time?’

“Probably,” he said, thinking about it. “It’s not a rush thing; it’s usually fifteen to twenty minutes before they leave the complex. I could be back there in ten considering how close you live. Even with the snow I would likely be okay.”

She looked at him curiously, then threw back the covers, revealing her nakedness. Although she hadn’t put any
