"Are you sleeping in my bed tonight?"

We hadn't really discussed our plans moving forward. Our one night together had been interrupted, which was great because there was no morning-after weirdness, but it sucked because we hadn't had the chance to figure out what it meant.

"If you let me, I'll sleep with you every night."

I glanced up between my lashes. His green eyes were shining bright with lust. "Every night?"

"I know this is still new, but yeah, every night. I would sleep better knowing that you were in my arms."

This man was quickly knocking down every one of my walls. He was stealing my heart out from under me and I didn't have it in me to protest.

"Then take me to bed now."

We locked up the house together and turned off all the lights. When we entered my bedroom, I noticed a small bag just inside the door. I quirked my brow at Easton. "Very presumptuous of you."

He snagged me around the waist and kissed my nose. I was starting to understand that it was one of his favorite ways to get my attention. "More like hopeful thinking."

I slipped out of his embrace and trudged back to the bathroom. I took my time going through my nightly routine; brushing my teeth and hair, washing my face and putting on my moisturizer. By the time I got back to the bedroom, Easton was sitting on the edge of the bed in just a pair of boxers.

"I'm just going to brush my teeth, and then I'll join you in bed."

I kissed him on the way past. Once he was out of the room, I quickly shed my clothes and climbed into the bed. I didn't normally sleep naked, but with Easton in my bed, I didn't want to waste time putting on jammies when I knew they would just be flying off soon.

A few minutes later, Easton sauntered back in, turning off the light, and I felt the bed shift as he climbed in with me. I was lying on my side of the bed but Easton wasn't having any of that. His arm came around my waist and he yanked me back to him. His hand settled between my legs and a soft chuckle tickled my ear.

"Now who's the presumptuous one?"

"Who's to say I don't sleep naked all the time?"

A burst of laughter fell from my lips when Easton flipped me so that I was lying flat on my back and caged between his strong arms.

"Shhh! We don't want to wake up Lucien. He would never forgive us."

My lips clamped shut. I’d never had to worry about such things in the past. Even my self-induced orgasms took place when my son wasn't home because yeah, I was worried about scarring my child.

Easton shifted to the side and reached over to the nightstand. It wasn't until I heard the sound of the condom wrapper being ripped open that I realized what he was searching for.

When the hell had he put that there?

"Do you think you can be nice and quiet?" He settled himself back between my legs, somehow shedding his boxers like a damn magician. "If not, I'll have to stop."

I knew he was teasing me. There was no way he would stop now, not when just the tip of his cock had me soaked and eager for him.

"I'll be quiet." The words were laced with need.

I had just had him last night, multiple times, but it still wasn't enough. I didn't know if I would ever get enough of him.

Ever so slowly, Easton gave me a little of himself before pulling out again, each time adding just a bit more, but never as much as I wanted.

"Easton, please. I need all of you."

"I know what you need, sweetheart, and I'll always give it to you."

And he did. Unlike our first night together, which was frantic and full of us feeding the insatiable need we both had, tonight was full of unrushed longing.

Tonight Easton made love to me and stole the last bit of my armor. There was no going back now. He owned me heart and soul. I just hoped it was adequate.
