My heart tugs me closer to her and I step forward. “Jove...”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t go home tonight.”
Her head tilts in hesitation. “Will, I shouldn’t stay.”
“I don’t care about what we should do,” I say. “Do you?”
She bites her lip. “Now you’re sounding like me.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“Depends on who you ask, I guess.”
I kneel in front of her and take hold of her ankles one at a time, drawing them up to slide the boots back off.
“Will.”
I move in and cup her face before she can protest. “Stay with me, Jovie.”
I kiss her again and her lips quiver against mine.
“We shouldn’t...” Her voice is weak, sitting on the edge of reason but I won’t force her over.
“And we won’t,” I say, guiding her onto the mattress. Her head meets my pillow and I lay beside her, balanced on my elbow as my left hand caresses her cheek. “I just want to spend the night beside you again.”
She clings to me with bated breath. “And what about tomorrow morning?” she asks.
I smile as I brush the edge of her lips with my thumb. “I’ll think of something.”
We kiss again, holding fast in each other’s arms until we’re both too tired to keep our eyes open.
