“He ever turn on you?”
Willow paused in her story telling.
I ran my fingers along her spine in long strokes and she settled deeper into my chest. I wanted her closer, couldn’t get enough of him, contact, kisses, just holding her to me. It broke me that she’d only been in my life for a handful of hours. I needed it to be so much longer than that. Somewhere deep inside me lit up with the urge to make a history with this woman.
“Once. The night that I walked away from him. I don't think he meant to hit me. He swung at someone else. They moved and I got in the way. So I just walked out.”
“Did he call you to apologize?” I trailed my fingers through her hair, massaging the back of her neck. Having her curled around me was like being beneath a damn good quilt. I stifled a yawn against the back of my hand,sinking deeper into my pillow.
“Never. Not a message, nothing. I guess he might be ashamed. Or maybe he doesn’t care. I didn’t chase or look him up, I just let it go.” She shrugged into my hands.
“You deserve so much better, Willow.” I kissed the top of her head, and rested my cheek against it. Vanilla and berry notes wafted from her. I didn’t know if I could give her better, but I was damn well willing to try.
She felt and smelled so damn good, and I was in so much trouble with this girl.
Her hand skated over my shirt, slipping beneath it to go on a little discovery tour.
“Tomorrow, Princess.” I yawned. “I’m shattered. But get closer so I can fall asleep with your cute little body wrapped around me.”
“Cute?” The single word came out muffled against my skin.
“S’what I said. Sleep.” I pulled her warmth onto my chest, covering us both with blankets, and relaxed into my pillow. I’d probably pay for the cute remark in the morning.
For now, sleep. Then tomorrow…I passed out with a smile on my face, thinking of the things I’d do to her to get another of those little noises I already adored.
The cute ones.
