Fuck, but she made my chest hurt when she looked at me like that. I wrapped her in my arms and sighed. “I’m not going anywhere.”
We kissed again, our hands wandering over each other’s skin.
She stopped after a few minutes and set her chin on my chest. “Do I still get my ice cream for dinner?”
I hummed, leaning up for another kiss. “As long as I get to try some too.”
Her eyebrow arched. “I think you might have earned some,” she said breezily. “At least one scoop.”
“One? You got off twice, love. That should give me two scoops.”
She sat up and stretched with a groan. “I suppose.”
Zoe stood up off the bed, and I wedged a hand behind my head, enjoying the view of her walking naked as a jaybird through the room.
Didn’t take long before another part of my body was noticing too.
She nodded at my lap. “After I eat,” she said meaningfully.
With a growl, I got out of bed and tugged my boxer briefs on. She pulled my shirt over her head and closed the two middle buttons.
Just before she opened the door, I tugged on the back of the shirt and turned her in place, sliding my hands up underneath the shirt while I pressed her against the wall.
Zoe laughed into the kisses. “It’s gonna take us a while to get anything done at this rate.”
“What do you expect?” I asked. “Walking around in my shirt and thinking I’d keep my hands off you?”
Another happy sigh escaped her mouth while I snogged her senseless, and eventually, I managed to pull away before we fell straight back into bed.
We fed each other ice cream while she sat on the island and I stood between her legs. It took us longer than normal because I was obsessed with the taste of it on her tongue when we kissed, which we did between most bites.
We talked about training camp, and when I told her I’d already added her name to the list, she smirked.
“So youdidwant me there,” she said. “You never asked.”
“I would’ve.” I scraped some stray chocolate off her lip and sucked my thumb into my mouth. “I always wanted you around, even if I never said so.”
Her eyes fucking sparkled when I said shit like that, so I made a mental note to do it every single day for the rest of my bleedin’ life.
She glanced at the time. “We have about an hour before Rosa brings her back.” She took another bite. “What should we do?”
“Am I sleeping in your bed tonight, Goldilocks?” I asked. Leaning in closer, I let my lips hover over hers, humming contentedly when she pressed forward to snatch another kiss.
Zoe traced her thumb along my bottom lip. “Yeah.”
I set my bowl down and wrapped her up in my arms. We sat there for a few minutes, and I didn’t fight the feeling of warmth and contentment. Didn’t guilt it away or tell myself that I didn’t deserve it. Didn’t question why we were here or what we’d had to lose in order to have this.
I simply closed my eyes and let the moment be what it was.
Fuckingheaven.
I pulled back, sliding a hand over her cheek, cradling her jaw while we kissed again. Zoe was smiling when I rolled my forehead against hers.
“Let’s go get our girl,” I said. “Doesn’t feel right here without her.”
Zoe’s smile widened. “I was hoping you’d say that.”
When we were dressed, I waited for her by the front door. It was still bright outside, and that light felt harsh after the time we’d just spent indoors, wrapped up in each other.
