“Jamison?”

“Huh?” He blinked, realizing he might have dozed off.

“The movie’s over.”

“Oh,” he whispered. “I guess it’s time for me to go.”

“It is midnight and Zadie will be getting up one last time to nurse.”

He pushed himself to a sitting position. He stared into her loving eyes. “Thanks for letting me come over.”

“It was nice to have the company.”

He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Then her cheek. He took her hand and helped her to her feet before he ravished her lips on the sofa.

That wouldn’t have been a good idea.

“I better go.” He took her chin with his thumb and forefinger. “Lock the doors behind me.”

“I will.”

He caved to his desired and took her mouth in a tender kiss. Her tongue greeted his tentatively at first, but soon the kiss grew more passionate and wild.

She took a step back.

“Good night, Bryn.” He turned and walked out the front door. It was going to be impossible for him to control his desire.
