Damon nodded.“I am more than glad to be home.I thought I wasn’t going to make it a few times.”
“Fuck, just thinking about it makes me emotional.”
Damon reached over to Trent and slapped his shoulder.“Hey, I’m home.That’s all that matters now.”The men finished their beers.
“I’m heading in,” Damon said.
Trent reached for Damon’s empty bottle.“Go.I’ll lock up.”
“You got it.Thank you.Good night.”
Damon quietly closed the door behind him and stared at the woman who had had his heart from the very beginning, and he knew early on it wouldn’t change.She was his only chance at true happiness.
He showered and brushed his teeth before sliding into bed and curling his body around hers.He listened to her soft breathing, the feel of her skin against his was his heaven.He had her where he wanted her and would do whatever he needed to keep it like that.
It felt like he’d just closed his eyes when Damon blinked several times and squinted against the morning sun coming in through the sheer drapes.He was amazed he had slept through the night without a nightmare.He hadn’t done that for years.He should have known that just being with her would settle him.
She started moving and then stretched.He lifted himself off the mattress and balanced on his elbow to watch her come alive.It was the first but not the last time he’d be able to experience it.
“Good morning, sweetheart.”He grinned when her head jerked his way, and she looked confused for a moment before a blush covered her face.
“Did you sleep okay?”he asked.
She nodded.
He snorted.“Does it take you a while in the morning to wake up?”
“Are you always this chipper?”she asked, scowling.
He smiled.“Most mornings.”He loved the look of disgust on her face as she tried to roll out of bed.
“Whoa, wait, I need my morning kiss.”He grabbed her arm.
“What?How long have you been awake?”
“A few minutes.”
“Crap.I’m not sure I’ll be able to deal with you every morning.”
He laughed and pulled her until she was tucked under him.He took her mouth with a hunger he knew he’d never stop feeling.
They were both breathing heavily when he raised his head.“You’ll get used to it.”
Emma blinked a few times.
He chuckled and lifted himself from her and the mattress.“I’ll start coffee while you shower.”
She started inching to the side, but her eyes roamed over his naked body.He loved how her eyes widened at his morning erection, and then a desire-filled blush covered her face.
“Are you having cramps, baby?”
She looked confused for a moment.“Oh, yeah.My periods aren’t great.”
“We’ll get you through them.”
Emma nodded and walked past him into the bathroom.He pulled on his clothing and walked out into the kitchen.He started the coffee and then beat eggs to make omelets.
Trent walked in as he was finishing the first one.
