Or at least move with her because that was about all I was willing to give.
“See, that’s not so terrible, is it?”
I chuckled, placing a kiss to the curve of her jaw. Her arms tightened around my neck. “You expect me to say yes?”
“I expect you to be honest.”
She released a soft sigh, leaning into me more but then she slowly eased back, her hesitant gaze tangled with mine. “I looked up some things today?”
Unease settled into my chest and my throat thickened. Things about me…
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, but not because I don’t trust you or that I want to pry, I just want to understand you better.”
She’d done research.
“You didn’t want to ask me?”
“I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable because it feels like you kind of still are about certain things.”
“I am but not because I’m hiding or don’t want you to know. It’s just not something I’m used to sharing so I don’t. You can ask me whatever you want and I’ll do my best to explain things for you in a way that makes sense.”
When I can because my life rarely makes sense.
“So we can talk about it?”
“Yes, always…”
I attempted to pull away, but she tightened her arms round my neck. “Here, like this. I kinda like how this feels.”
“You want to pick my brain while we dance.”
“If that’s okay with you.”
“Anything about you is okay with me.” I pressed my forehead to hers. “What do you want to know?”
“You mentioned routine. I read about why it’s important to you and I want you to know that I’m okay with fitting into whatever your routines need to be. However it works best for you.”
God, she could bring me to my knees with the simplest admissions.
I was her priority. She was willing to fit into my world. She was willing to meet me where I was, accepting and understanding of what I needed. How the fuck was this so easy for her when my own parents whose flesh and blood I was born of weren’t willing to apply the same effort?
“You don’t have to fit into my routines, Cress.Youare my routine. You have been since the moment I laid eyes on you.”
“But…”
I kissed her hard and when I pulled back my eyes lowered to hers. “You. Are. My. Routine.”
She curled deeper into my hold, pressing her fingers into the back of my neck to bring my face closer to hers. “That’s good to know because you’re mine too. Neither of us exist without the presence or consideration of the other. As far as I’m concerned one without the other causes chaos and I don’t think I’d like that very much.”
I smirked then gently bit down on her lip, soothing it with my tongue after. “Chaos isn’t always a bad thing.”
“When you’re making me cum, no, but that’s about the only time I’m willing to embrace it.”
“Good to know.”
“And since we’re on the subject. I think I’m ready to leave now.”
