I slide my arm around her to pull her a little closer. “Then, move in.”
“Uh…” She slowly rises a few inches. “What?”
“Move in here with me,” I say again, feeling the logic fall into place. “You spend almost every night here anyway.”
“Okay, yeah. I do, but…”
“And you don’t need to be wasting seventy-five bucks a week on Hank,” I point out. “You don’t make much and he’s ripping you off out of spite, if you want my opinion. I have the space and you need to get out of there.”
She blinks. “You’re serious about this.”
I nod. “I am.”
“Have you been thinking about this already?”
“Not really, no, but it makes sense, doesn’t it?”
Epiphany crosses her eyes. “You do have that spare bedroom...”
“It’s all yours,” I offer. “I’ll clear out the weights and the treadmill and stick them in the garage. Then, you’ll have plenty of room for your stuff.”
“I don’t have much. You don’t have to move anything…”
“You deserve your own space.”
“Then, I should pay you rent. I don’t want to freeload.”
“I’m not charging you rent, Jove,” I say, shaking my head.
“Okay, we’ll split utilities,” she argues. “That’s fair, right?”
I smile. There’s no sense fighting against it. Even if I said no, she’d slip the money into my wallet when I wasn’t looking anyway. “Yes,” I say. “That’s fair.”
She leans back, comfortably smirking. “We’re moving in together.”
“Yes, we are.”
“I like the sound of it.”
“It does have a nice ring to it.”
“And you know an awesome perk to living with somebody is?” she asks.
“What?”
“On-demand sex.”
“That’s not why I asked you,” I chuckle, “but yes, that is awesome.”
She laughs as I lean over her again. Our legs entwine and she reaches around me, her fingers sliding along my shoulder blades, igniting the blood in my groin as I kiss her.
“Jovie…” I whisper her name and her lips curl.
“Yeah?” she asks, kissing me back.
“So, about Valentine’s Day…”
She heaves a breath and her hands drop to her sides. “I knew it.”
