He might have slept, he wasn't sure, didn't care. Nothing mattered except the warmth and wonder of pure peace. God, he felt good.

Beneath him, he felt Tess's gentle shove on his chest.

"You know, you weigh a ton," she murmured.

For a secret moment, he imagined what it would be like if she stayed. A reluctant smile tugged at his lips. She would drive him crazy every day, bring total chaos to his ship and anarchy to his orderly world.
