Ever.
I hadn’t expected it to feel so good.
Troy’s lips curved into a smile, and he nodded, absently bobbing his head for a moment before he looked away, clearing his throat.
“Are you ready to go downstairs now?” I asked, a little confused by his reaction until he turned to me again, love and determination in his eyes as he tucked my head between his hands, holding me in place as his mouth covered mine, in a kiss that made my knees a little weak. But he was right there, reaching out to catch the slack in my body with a strong arm, and making me wish we had just a few more minutes before we were expected downstairs.
Cause damn.
When he finally pulled back, he shot me a grin, then moved to the other side of the bed. He grabbed my heavy camera bag for me, lifting it like it weighed a lot less than it did, and turned to me with raised eyebrows.
“I am now.”
