Lexi and I made love a second time, and then I spooned behind her and held her as she fell asleep. I should have gone back to my place, but I didn’t want to leave her. It felt good beside her, and it felt right. I wanted right. I wanted it right here.

The next morning,her alarm woke us, and I quickly glanced at my watch to see it was only a few minutes before my watch would have sounded to rouse me.
As she lay back in bed, she glanced my way and rubbed her eyes before speaking. “I didn’t dream it.”
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her toward me. “You most certainly did not dream it.”
She laughed and cupped a hand over her mouth. “Sorry, morning breath.”
I chuckled. “Trust me, after some of the things I smelled overseas, morning breath does not offend me.” I pulled her face toward mine. “Can I kiss you, or do I need to go suck on my finger after I steal some toothpaste?”
She grinned coyly and pulled her hand away from her mouth. “If you don’t mind, I don’t mind.”
I kissed her softly, and her body rolled to the side to be up against mine. I kissed along her jaw and whispered in her ear, “Do we have time to make love again, or do you have to get up?”
“Oh, I think we might have time for a quickie if you’re up for it.”
I pushed my hips against hers. “I do believe I’m up for it.” She chuckled and pushed me to my back.
“Good, then I want to be on top again,” she said, a wicked gleam in her eye that made me even harder as she straddled me.
“You aren’t going to hear me complain.” I gripped her hips as she ground against me, and I found her body already eager to begin. “Jesus, woman.”
She giggled. “I might have been dreaming about this.”
“Yeah, we’ll make your dream come true, baby.”
After we were done, she slipped from the bed and disappeared into the bathroom. I gathered my clothes and began to get dressed so I could head back to my place and shower. I had my first training class today, and I needed to make sure I had all my stuff together.
I waited until she came out a few minutes later, a lavender bathrobe covering her beautiful body. She let her gaze drift from my face to my knees and then back up. I was tempted to untie the robe and bring her back to bed, but I knew I didn’t have time, and she needed to get ready for work.
“I need to head downstairs, shower, and get dressed,” I told her as I finished tying my hiking boots.
“Yeah, I figured as much. Are you working from home today?”
“No,” I stood and came to stand in front of her, rubbing my arms up and down her biceps, “I have a training class today.”
She laughed. “Oh, yeah, I forgot that you are working with some of our guys today.”
“Yep, I am.” Her smile was slightly lopsided. “What?”
“Nothing.” She grinned wide. “I hope you have a great day.”
I kissed her. “Can I see you later?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“Okay, well, then have a good day, Lexi. I’ll see you later.”
She stepped forward and kissed me one more time. “See you later.”
I left her in her bedroom and found my jacket lying on the floor in the entryway where I’d hurriedly shucked it off the night before. I grinned as I let myself out and pulled my cellphone out of my pocket as I took the stairs. I had missed two calls, but they weren’t anything remarkable.
After dressing for work and collecting all the stuff that I would need for the day, I lugged it all out to my SUV and went about scraping the ice off my window. I wondered what Lexi would think about getting a house together, one with a garage. I frowned at myself. In the light of day, the conversation last night about kids seemed a little early, and thinking of buying a house with her now was just another step into that crazy fantasy.
I pushed the thoughts aside as I finished clearing my windows and then headed into the office to pick up the rest of what I would need.
