“Where are you going, Astrid?” Sean’s voice lifts some of the fog of sleep.
“To bed.”
He catches me by the hand and pulls me back to him. “We’re a couple, now. We sleep together.”
CHAPTER 45
SEAN
Astrid and I spend the morning moving her things to my bedroom. Our bedroom.
I’ve easily moved all of her clothes from the basement. That took an hour, tops.
The books, however…
I wipe the sweat from my brow. I don’t think I have it in me to move them all again.
The morning sun filters through the curtains as Astrid and I continue transforming our new living space. The transition from the basement to the bedroom is more than just a physical shift; it’s symbolic, proof of my commitment to this and her renewed trust in me. It is a new beginning for both of us.
Astrid joins me, despite my attempts to convince her to relax. Her determination is evident in the set of her jaw as she bends at the knees to lift a particularly heavy box.
I’ve created a little library for her in our bedroom, next to the picture window with the loveseat. It is a beautiful reading spot overlooking the woods that line the backyard.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met someone with so many books,” I say, teasing her.
“That’s because you spend too much time with Cory,” she says, smirking at me from beneath her lashes.
“I’m so telling him that you said that.”
We unpack everything together. It’s a process that takes time, but it is worth it. We're not just moving books; we're weaving our lives together.
By midday, we’ve moved everything. Our task is complete. The bedroom is officially ours. Her personal touches are everywhere, warming the room in a way I didn’t even know I needed.
I should’ve done this a long time ago.
“I guess we need to get ready for the party,” I say. Although I would give anything to be able to keep Astrid here in this bed all night.
“Okay.” She nods her head, getting up first.
I follow her into the shower, slipping in behind her and pulling her body back against mine.
“Sean,” she squeals as I pull her body to mine. “This isn’t getting ready.”
“I think you need my help.” I smile, taking the shampoo bottle off the ledge. I gesture for her to tip her head back so that I can massage the shampoo into her scalp.
“Oh, Sean,” she lets out a soft moan. “That feels so good. You shouldn’t be so good at this. I’m going to make you do this for me all the time.”
“I think that’s a great idea.” I kiss her forehead. “New rule, we shower together.” I let my hands trail down the back of her head, down her back, and grab her ass.
“Sean,” she warns.
“You better stop saying my name like that, or this shower is going to take a lot longer.” I press myself against her, loving the way her eyes go wide as she feels me grow hard against her.
“I guess we’ll be in here for a while then.” She reaches down and takes me in her hand, stroking me hard and fast.
I can’t help but groan as her hold tightens.
She only makes it a few seconds in charge before I’m pushing her back against the wall and lifting her thighs around my waist.
