Destiny raised her head and looked into Faith’s euphoric face. “Happy birthday, baby.”

“God!” Faith groaned loudly. She chuckled as Destiny rested her head on Faith’s stomach.

“Good morning,” Faith finally said in an almost normal voice.

“Mmm,” Destiny murmured. “It is.”

“Was that my birthday present?”

Destiny raised up and settled next to Faith, propping her head on her hand. She lazily rested her leg over Faith’s and smiled at her. “That was just the start of your birthday.”

“It’s already the best birthday ever because I woke up with you, well, with you between my legs.” Faith giggled.

“I hope that was all right,” Destiny said. “If you haven’t noticed, I’m having trouble keeping my hands off of you…and my mouth.”

“I know the perfect birthday gift you could give me,” Faith said with raised eyebrows.

“Oh yeah?” Destiny grinned. “What’s that?”

“Move in with me,” Faith said with a serious face.

Destiny was not expecting that. Her eyebrows flew up her forehead. “Really?”

Faith nodded. “Move in with me, Des. You’re here most of the time anyway.”

“I love being here with you,” Destiny said. A smile grew on her face. “Do you think the tiny house is big enough for both of us?”

“We can live wherever you want,” Faith said. “I just don’t want to be without you ever again.”

Destiny closed her eyes, barely able to contain her excitement. She opened them and grinned at Faith. “I’d love to move in here with you!”

Faith grabbed Destiny’s face and kissed her hard. “Now that’s a birthday present. Woo hoo!” she yelled at the ceiling.

Destiny laughed at her enthusiasm. “I do have an actual birthday present for you, but I’m not giving it to you until tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Faith said, nodding. “Is this part of why you asked to spend tonight with me? Because you had something special for me the next day?”

“That’s right,” Destiny said. “We have the party tonight, so your special gift has to wait until tomorrow.”

“I have my special gift right here,” Faith said, caressing Destiny’s cheek.

“Okay, birthday girl.” Destiny sat up. “What do you want for breakfast? I’m cooking and I made sure we have all of your favorites here.”

“Hmm,” Faith murmured, raising her brows. “I know what I want first.” She raised up, pushed Destiny down on the bed, and hopped on top of her.

Laughter filled the room, followed by heated kisses and more very pleased moans.

“Ihad so much fun last night,” Faith said, reaching over and taking Destiny’s hand. “Thank you for my birthday party.”

“I think everyone had fun. Thank you for letting me make such a big deal out of your birthday. In case you haven’t noticed. You’re a very big deal to me.”

Faith chuckled. “I’m beginning to get that idea.”

“We may have a few singers between both of our companies,” Destiny said as she drove out of Faith’s parking lot.

“And our friends,” Faith added. “Monica and Kim surprised me. They can sing.”
