She giggled, thought about teasing him, then decided on another course of action. “Come here, you,” she growled again, reaching up and pulling him down to her level where she kissed him properly, thoroughly, and very unchastely.
“I love you, Jessica,” he said some time later, their heads pressed together.
A shiver ran through her body as he said the words. “How can I be so lucky to have found you during such a fucked-up time?” she mused, nuzzling in closer to him.
Her man—herman—bent down and grabbed her just below her rear, picking her up casually and holding her at his waist level. “Fate often presents us with what we need most, even if we don’t know it at the time.”
“That’s very poetic of you,” she observed. “Where did you steal that line from?”
Klaue tried to bluster his way out of it. “I can be a deep thinker too.”
She just made agreeable noises and kissed him some more, relishing in the warm of his skin, the scrape of his stubble across her face, the gentle contrast with how soft and tender his lips treated her. That was Klaue in a nutshell. Hard and firm, but with a sweet, kind center that only she got to see.

“By the way?” Klaue asked, taking her to the bedroom. “Did you just leave your sister out there?”
“Um, maybe? Do you think she’ll be okay?”
“Is she anything like you?” Klaue asked, pushing open the door with his foot.
“If anything, she’s worse.” Jessica clung to his waist as he tried to set her down, forcing Klaue to fall onto the bed with her as they tugged at one another’s clothing.
“In that case, it’s them that I’m worried about, not her.”
Jessica chuckled with laughter, until Klaue’s hand slipped inside her thighs, turning it into a hiss of pleasant surprise.
“Oh, it’s going to be like that, is it?” she asked playfully as he dragged a fingernail over her pants, somehow managing to find exactly the right spot to make her eyes roll slightly back into her head.
“It’s going to be like that.” Klaue bent over and kissed her, pushing Jessica back onto the bed so he could more easily come and lie on top of her.
“Well, if you insist…”
