CHAPTER 25

CORBIN

Dark hair is splayed across my chest, and I look down to see Ruby sleeping peacefully on top of me. Taking a breath is suddenly the easiest thing in the world to do, and I can’t help but smile as my hand slides down Ruby’s back.

She makes some weird noise, but her smile blooms across her face even as she stays asleep. I’ve waited a long damn time for this. Now it all seems worth it.

I’m not some stupid kid who doesn’t know how to appreciate her. I know what it’s like to have empty, meaningless nights and days. Ruby is like a part of me, and I finally feel completely whole again.

Fuck. Maybe I do watch too many chick flicks if I’m waxing poetic shit on day two.

She stirs in my arms, and sleepy eyes flutter open to meet mine. I tense, waiting on her reaction, but I relax when she smiles up at me.

When my hand slides south, she catches it, waggling her eyebrows at me while giggling. Ruby does not giggle when she’s sober.

I fucking love it.

“I need coffee first. And a toothbrush. And something to eat. I’m starving.”

Sighing, I lean up, and I kiss her forehead as she slides off me and pulls on one of my T-shirts. Damn, that’s sexy as fuck. The tattoos on her thighs are begging me to touch them, and all I want to do is spend the day exploring every bit of ink on her body. As well as every piercing.

Especially two piercings… Her tongue and her—

“You going to help me make breakfast? I’m so not the serve-you-breakfast-in-bed type. I expect help in the kitchen.”

An easiness settles on my chest with how effortless this morning is going. I was prepared for a fight. Not for giggles and smiles.

This is way better.

“You look so relieved,” she points out, smirking at me as though she’s reading my mind.

Walking over to her, I pull her to me, smiling down at her before my lips brush hers.

“Do you have work?” I ask, glancing over at the clock again.

“Not for a few hours. We have time for a lot of things,” she says suggestively, and I try to remain standing. There are a lot of things I want to do.

“Tonight, we’ll just stay in. The two of us. Is it a date?”

She slides her hands around my neck, pulling me down until her lips lightly kiss mine. “It’s a date.”

I’m almost terrified something shitty is going to happen, because this all just feels too good.

“Do I have to keep going to social functions?” she muses, and I snicker as I pull on my boxers.

“Yeah. Especially now. If I can’t have you there as my girlfriend, I can at least have you there as my hostage.”

She laughs, and it’s a free laugh. Not one where she sounds weighted.

She walks in front of me, swishing that fucking perfect ass, and I get a peek of skin underneath, reminding me she has no panties on.

“Fuck breakfast,” I murmur before picking her up and spinning her to face me.
