As I played with the strands of her hair, rubbing the soft tresses through my fingers, I wondered if she was going to get braids again. Or maybe she would wear it curly. Either way, I wanted my hands on it. As long as she was okay with that. Which last night she hadn't seemed to mind.
It's funny that you think this has a happy ending.
I was not going to listen to my brain, because what Saff had said was right. This was not going to be easy. It wasn't going to work out exactly how I thought it was going to.
No. Gabe would have a lot to say.
Oversight would have a lot to say. Last night was an anomaly. We weren't going to be able to keep this up. Sure, Tabs could help, but we could only do this for so long before someone became suspicious.
Saff finally stirred in my arms and blinked awake. I smiled down at her. "Hi."
"Were you staring at me?"
"Staring is such a strong word. More like a little light watching while you slept."
“God, that is so creepy."
I leaned forward and kissed her nose. "Maybe a little. Did you sleep okay?"
She stretched with a wide smile like the cat who caught the canary. The sheets shifted down under her breasts, exposing a nipple to my view. My gaze immediately homed in on it, and I leaned forward, pressing a kiss to the soft dark tip.
She automatically arched her back, moaning into the caress. But suddenly, her hands slipped into my hair and she pulled me off. "Lock, food. I need food."
“If I feed you, will you feed me?"
She giggled, and I moved to shove the duvet off to head into the kitchen to see what we could scramble up. If I couldn’t find anything, I’d just have to order in.
"What do you feel like eating?"
"Tabs has some eggs. I think waffles too. We made some the other day. And she likes to make them fresh."
"Tabs can cook?"
"Oh, yeah. Tabs can one hundred percent cook."
“You know, she never struck me as the cooking type, but I kind of love that."
"She does it when she's stressed. Which meant she was worried about us, or me anyway."
I leaned over and kissed her lips. "She's a good friend. She really loves you."
“Yeah, everyone's in love with Tabs."
I was in the kitchen about twenty minutes as I found the waffles, heated them up, and then brought her breakfast in bed. "I feel like we’re back in the Winston Isles now. I wish we'd been able to stay longer."
Her eyes went stormy. “Yes, but duty calls."
I whispered, “Hey, don't think about it. We've got a couple more hours, okay?"
She nodded. "You're right. We shouldn't think about it. We already had more time than I ever thought we would."
“Don't say that either. Because I didn't even know having time with you was an option. Now that I’ve had a taste, well, letting go will be a problem."
"Lock…"
I kissed her lips. "Nope, sit up and eat. I don't want to hear anything negative right now. When I crawl back into bed with you, I’ll force you to share your waffles with me. And then I’m going to lick syrup off your body. And after that, I’m going to have my breakfast. And then maybe after that I’ll give you a moment to rest."
She giggled. “You're so generous."
