“I’m getting into bed,” he says.

“But why here? Surely there are a million other beds in this palace?” I ask him.

He tilts his head and stares at me. “Emmy, this is my bed. I’m not sleeping anywhere else.”

Shit, I didn’t think of that. I go to get up. “I’m sorry. I can go into another room. Or leave, or, or… I don’t know,” I offer.

“Emmy, move over. We’ve already discussed this. You are not leaving. If you try to move to a different bed, I’ll just follow you anyway. Save us both the loss of sleep and just shove over a little already.”

I scoot to the other side. “Just so you know, this does not mean I like you. In fact, we should draw a line down the middle of the bed if we have to share.”

Josh laughs, the sound unfamiliar. I’m not sure how often he ever laughs, but I know it’s not often enough. “Babe, I had my fingers buried inside your pussy this morning. Not to mention, I’ve had my cock buried inside that pussy of yours. Even if it has been way too fucking long since, he’s been there and plans on being there again.”

“Thanks for reminding me just why I hate you! And that cock of yours won’t be getting anywhere near me again.” I huff as I start lining pillows down the middle of the bed.

“You don’t hate me, Emmy. You only wish you could. You can’t hate someone you love. Trust me, I’ve tried to hate you for years, thinking it would make things easier. I’ve hated you for the way you make me feel. I’ve hated you for making me want a different future. I’ve hated you for making me want a future at all. But even with all that, the love I feel for you outweighs all the hate even I could muster up,” he says this as he throws the pillows I just laid out onto the floor.

“Yeah, well, I’ve hated you just as much. So, you hold on to that hate; it will save both of us in the end.”

“Don’t you know, Emmy?” he asks.

“Know what?”

“There is no end to us. There will never be an end to us,” he says as he lies down, pulling me into his arms.

I hate that he makes this feel good. And I hate myself more for wanting this to last longer.
