When I woke up I knew instantly that I was alone in the mammoth bed.

When I rolled my head sideways, I found him standing over me, hovering.

“What’re you doing?”

“Watching you sleep.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re finally in my bed, I never thought I’d pull off that trick.”

I grinned up at him.

He was silent for a minute, thinking about something. “Do you think your mother will hate me?”

I scowled at him. “What’re you talking about?”

“Your sisters? Your Dad?”

“Davis––”

“I bet they will though… hate me I mean, when I take you away from Chicago.”

“We need to talk about all that.”

“Why?”

“I have a job, you have a job…we need to slow down and figure everything out.”

“Can’t you transfer? Don’t policemen do that?”

“Yeah

but––”

“I just made partner, I have to stay here. You said you wouldn’t make me move home.”

“And I won’t,” I assured him. “I won’t ever make you do any––”

“Oh,” he breathed out, “I see you––you aren’t going to make me leave San Francisco but you’re not moving here.”

“Davis we haven’t even talked. Why can’t we talk?”

“Because I want my life to start right now!”

“You’re being an ass,” I informed him. “I don’t live on your timeline. You don’t get to decide that you want me and then get me. It doesn’t work like that. We live two very distinct very separate lives; we need to figure out a way to combine them.”

He bit his bottom lip. “I just want to be with you.”

“And I want that too, we just need to figure out how,” I said, reaching for him.

He took my hand and let me pull him back down into bed, into my arms.

The way he wrapped around me, snuggling into my shoulder, so natural, like he’d been doing it for years, made me smile. I realized after several minutes, that he had lifted his head and was glaring down at me.

“What?”

“You’re not listening to me?”

“Yes I am,” I lied, pulling him back down, stroking his forehead, watching the golden brows furrow like they always did when he was irritated with me. “I just can’t get over the fact that you’re in bed with me.”

“Well I am and since I plan for it to be a continual thing we need to––”

“I could die happy right here.” I said, shifting closer to him, burying my fingers in this thick hair. “Davis Boone…holy shit.”

Me saying his name must have appealed to him, his quivering breath, the whine in it full of need, told me as much.

I chuckled into his hair, leaning close, breathing him in. God I loved him, couldn’t get enough of him. “I always wanted to just lie in bed with you.”

“Yeah?”

I leaned over and kissed him so he’d know. I made sure I got all of his mouth, kissing him thoroughly, deeply, letting him feel the jolt of need that ran

through me. It was a demanding, consuming, lingering kiss, my lips pressed to his making it last until he pulled away so he could breathe.

“God Cam the way you kiss me.” He said and I felt his breath on my face as my lips were still hovering over his.
