I laughed against his chest, and his lips brushed my cheek.

“Now you’re right where you should be,” he said into my hair, his voice slurring lightly with sleep.

“I guess.”

“You’ll see.” He kissed my cheek again. “Love you.”

My throat swelled.

The easy, calm way he said it made breathing feel difficult.

He couldn’t actually love me, could he? We’d only known each other for a month.

Then again, we’d spent a lot of time together.

And my feelings for him were strong enough that I couldn’t say Iwasn’tin love with him. I was just… unsure.

Not unsure enough that I didn’t fall asleep quickly, though.

Talon was still asleepwhen I woke up at the sound of my phone buzzing. He was snoring lightly. I couldn’t stop a sleepy smile from curving my lips at the gentle sound.

The man had to be exhausted.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, and I managed to reach it without pulling away from Talon entirely. He adjusted his grip on me in his sleep without missing a beat of the next snore.

I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from grinning as I opened my sisters’ messages and read the few I’d missed. More came in while I was reading, too.

What are we doing for Clem’s birthday bash this year?

More glitter?

Izzy

Please no

Clem

Yes to the glitter

So much of it

There are so many possibilities now that we know we can make other people sparkle too!

Blair

Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see Damian covered in glitter

Clem

There’s something extra fun about sex when your man’s dick is sparkly, I promise ;P

Zora

Hmm

I don’t know if Bane will go for it
