Gabby smiled at him.
“I feel the same. I can’t wait to start my new life here with you, Finn. It’s going to be amazing.”
Oh, he’d make sure it was.
Tomorrow, he’d start showing her pieces of his world, so she could assimilate into it. Then, when she took him back to the US, he’d do the same.
Because her life before him was just as important.
When she yawned, he helped her into the bed, and tucked her in.
“I’m going to finish this fire, grab my bag, and brush my teeth. Fall asleep. It’s okay. I’ll be to bed shortly.”
She was good with that.
As she got comfortable, Finn went off to get his bag from the bathroom. In it, he found his toothbrush, and toothpaste.
Placing them on the counter next to hers, his heart did a jittery little dance in his chest.
It was so couple-y that it made him happy to no end.
He had a person now.
Gone were the memories of Rosie, and in their place was the reality of Gabby.
When he was finished, he headed out to the bedroom, checked the fire one last time to make sure the kindling caught, and then headed to the bed.
In it, the woman he loved was out cold.
Stripping down to his boxers, he climbed under the comforter, and immediately, she moved into him, putting her head on his chest, and her thigh over his groin.
Damn.
She felt good against him, and already, his body was back awake.
He’d had more sex today than he ever had on a daily basis with his ex. It was like Gabby genuinely wanted him.
As for sleeping, well, he’d suffer in silence and be grateful that he had her.
She was perfect, and a night of light sleep would be worth it.
There was a sexy woman on him, and he was absolutely not looking that gift horse in the mouth.
PASS.
As he lay there, enjoying the moment, he wasn’t sure how long it took, but at some point, he fell asleep.
The whole time, Finn didn’t even feel Gabby getting restless.
So much for a light sleep.
Had he, Finn would have known something was wrong.
And it was about to get incredibly dangerous.
For her.
