Asshole: Next time I want you in a bed, and I want you for the whole night. Maybe it will be enough time to do the things I’ve been thinking about doing to you.
“I came over here because seeing you was the only thing in the world that I could think of that might make this day less of a goddamned nightmare.”
“Dani,” he laughs, actually laughs. “I walked away from that woman whose face I can’t even remember because from the second I saw you, for every fucking moment since—there hasn’t been anyone in my head but you.” He laughs again. “You might as well live there now.”
“I told you, Dani,” he says carefully. “I haven’t been able to see anyone else but you since the night I laid eyes on you.”
“Everything about you is a fucking dream. You’re so smart. Even when you’re using that big brain to kick my ass, I’m in awe of you. You’re so beautiful it damn near hurts to look at you. All I think about is touching you, tasting you. I can barely get anything done most days without thinking about it.”
“There you are, sweetheart.” A new voice breaks through the chaos swirling in my head. “Sorry I’m late. I was looking everywhere for you.” Ezra’s hand is warmer than Vera’s, superseding hers to slide up the back of my arm as he steps in close to press a kiss to my cheek. “I got held up.”
“Dani, I have no doubts that there isn’t a single thing on earth that you need saving from, but…” He shrugs one shoulder. “I’m selfish. I couldn’t stand to see you looking sad for another second.”
“Your cat is getting huge,” she remarks as she gives said cat more scratches. “Don’t fat-shame my roommate, Dani. It’s rude.” She rolls her eyes. “You won’t be saying that when you have to roll him to the litter box.”
“I will get him the finest kitty wagon so he can drag himself around. He’s his own man.”
“I want to touch you and know that you’ll still be here when I wake up in the morning. I want to touch you and make you realize that all I ever think about is touching you, that sometimes it’s the only thing that gets me through the day. I want to touch you, Dani, and know that whatever this thing is between us…that you’re in it with me.”
“I’ll call you whatever you want, Dani,” he hums against my lips. “As long as I can call you mine.”
