“Where were we?” Trevor says, cradling my head between his arms.
“I was just telling you how wonderful last night was. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it.”
Trevor frowns. “You’ve had sex before.”
“Yes, but that wasn’t sex. That was…so much more.”
“It’s because we care for each other, Claire. We were making love. Every time I look at you, kiss you, or touch you, it’s my body loving yours.”
If hearts can hand themselves over to another human being, mine just threw itself at Trevor.
“I feel the same way. It was so intense. And not just what we were doing, but your words and—”
Trevor grins. “You like the dirty talk?”
“I do. It’s never worked for me before, but with you, I expect it. I crave it.”
“Because you’re comfortable with me in a way you haven’t been with anyone else.” Trevor smiles down at me and runs his thumb along my lip. “It’s called love,” he says, kissing me.
“How do you know? You’ve never been in love.”
“I just know. I can’t explain it, but I can feel it. There is no other explanation. We’ve both been with other people, and neither one of us has felt this way before.” Trevor lifts himself up so he can get a good look at me. “Why? Are you having second thoughts?”
“God, no.” I shake my head and pull him back to me. “That’s not it at all.”
“Because it’s okay if you are. It’s okay if we need to take a step back. I told you I want to do things right with you, and I meant it. If we’re moving too fast, say the word and we’ll slow down.”
I think about his words. While I agree that we have moved fast, I know in my
heart that I love Trevor and I want the connection we have to keep growing.
“We’re not moving too fast. I’m just trying to wrap my head around it all, and you seem to have a better understanding of it than I do,” I admit.
“Claire, I’m as clueless as you are. I’m just telling you what’s in here.” Trevor puts my hand over his heart.
“I love what’s in there,” I say, rubbing my palm over his chest. “Who knew Trevor Allen would be such a romantic?”
“I’ll show you romantic.” He playfully attacks my neck, and I laugh, thrashing around when he tickles me.
Milo manages to make it back on the bed and is enthusiastic about joining whatever game we’re playing. She jumps around us, barking at Trevor, and next thing I know she’s rooting her nose between our faces.
“Awww…” I giggle. “She wants in on the lovin’.”
Trevor sits up and glares at Milo. “You’re a little cockblocker. That’s what you are.” He ruffles Milo’s fur and she barks, jumping around the bed. She gets too close to the edge and tumbles off before we can catch her.
“Whoa there.” Trevor lifts her up and hands her to me. “Careful.”
“Arf!”
I nuzzle my nose into her soft fur. “What she’s trying to say is thank you.”
Trevor looks at his watch and slides off the bed. “I better get going.”
I reach for him but he takes a step back.
“Come back to bed.”
“No.” He grabs a pair of jeans from his drawer and pulls them on. “If I get back in that bed with you, neither one of us will get a damn thing done today.”
