His mouth feels so hot on mine, so eager he’s almost desperate.
He moves with the same focused intensity as his hands, showering me with attention.
I want to believe him.
And although I have questions, I don’t dare voice them as he guides me back to the desk and sweeps the paperwork aside. Catness is curled up on a green ottoman in the corner now, watching us lazily.
And I watch as the paper flutters to the floor and wonder if that’s what will happen to me when we’re done.
If I’ll control where I land, or if the fall will just dictate my landing.
His tongue traces a neat path down my body, and soon I forget to worry, to question our future or his affection.
There’s no room for doubt in this frantic pleasure and the panting heat of our joined bodies.
There’s no room after, when my face is buried in his shoulder and his embrace keeps the doubts at bay.
Maybe we don’t have to figure everything out now.
Maybe we can live in the moment and that’ll be enough.
The future can stay in the distance and if we don’t think about it, it doesn’t have to hurt us.
Dexter kisses me again, more gently than ever.
His thumb strokes my jaw. Our clothes are strewn around everywhere like a tornado came through and it makes me grin.
I’ll never have this passion with another man.
“I’m no psychic, but I see a bath in your future,” he whispers, grazing the skin below my ear with his teeth. “And then a glass of wine with dinner. Maybe two.”
“Only if you’re with me.” I wind my arms around his neck.
“Deal. You’re one hardass negotiator, Sweet Stuff.”
For the first time this evening, his smile reaches his eyes, and my worries melt into the promises of good Bordeaux and another night in his arms.

SWEET MEMORIES (DEXTER)
It’s so late I can’t tell what time it is.
Maybe early morning.
Outside, the navy sky brightens into the familiar pale dawn glow that heralds the sunrise. Soon, the horizon will be brimming with the new morning, the birds will be chirping, and Kansas City will become the familiar loud, bellowing beast I know how to tame.
For now, though, everything is quiet except my thoughts.
Junie lays curled against my side, sleeping like a kitten, her cheek pressed into my chest.
Her slow breath skitters across my skin, reminding me how damn sensitive everything is when it comes to her.
Last night was good.
Really fucking good.
Hell, this girl could put me in chains and I wouldn’t consider it a bad night. All she has to do is smile at me, and I want her more than I can speak.
