Page 95 of Rory in a Kilt

"Why did you get naked?" she asks. "Since we're not having sex tonight."

"Hush." I stretch an arm out to turn off the lamp on the nightstand. "Time for sleep, Em, not talking."

A slight giggle escapes her lips. "You called me Em. The man who hates nicknames called me by my nickname."

I grumble.

She snuggles closer. "Maybe tomorrow you could take a break from work and do something fun with me."

I enfold her in my arms, my chin on the crown of her head. "Sleep, Emery."

"Promise you'll wake me up before you go downstairs in the morning, every day."

"If that will make you happy, I will."

"Thank you. Night, Rory."

I kiss the top of her head. "Good night."

Whatever happens tomorrow, or the day after that, at least I've made her happy for one night.
