"Where are you flying next?" I asked.

"Rome. We're doing a bit of sightseeing there before our next gallery."

"Have fun and send me lots of photos. Any idea when you'll be back?" Zoey asked. There was apprehension in her voice.

Her mom smiled. "Oh, honey, we got word from the gallery in Copenhagen that they might extend our showing for another month and keep our paintings there. They've asked us to pop in for some events."

Zoey smiled back. "I'm glad for you. Send me pictures from everywhere, okay?"

"Will do. I think we're going to board soon," her mom informed us. "Love you."

"I love you too." Zoey blew a kiss.

"It was nice meeting you, Colton," her dad said.

"Likewise," I replied.

After they hung up, I turned to look at Zoey. She sighed, putting the phone away.

"You miss them," I said.

She nodded. "Yeah, but I know the gallery season will be over soon and then they'll be back, so I'll have them all to myself." She smiled sheepishly. "I know I'm being very possessive."

I touched her lips. She was wearing her nightgown still. "I think it's nice that you want to be so close with them."

She yawned. "I didn't get to shower because they called and I didn't want to miss it. I should go now, maybe wash my hair too."

I pulled her onto my lap, kissing the side of her neck. "By the way, do you want to order a shelf or something? I noticed you don't have too much space in the bathroom for your stuff."

She stilled, looking at a fixed point on my chest. "You want me to order a shelf?" she parroted.

“Or something to help you organize things a bit more."

She swallowed hard. "And you wouldn't mind?"

I frowned. "Why would I? I'm asking."

She licked her lips. "I don't know, Colton. This is new to me."

I pulled her closer to me so her breasts were pressed against my chest. "It's new for me, too, Zoey, but I'm excited to explore this new stage of life with you.”

She grinned, kissing one corner of my mouth and then the other. The gesture was so tender that it completely caught me off guard. She grinned, shimmying in my lap.

"Okay, then I guess I'm going to look around for a shelf. What do you plan to do today?" she asked.

I tilted my head. "I should probably go back to the lab, but that's not appealing at all right now."

"I wonder why."

"So do I," I teased.

"Does it have something to do with me?"

She batted her eyelashes. Fucking hell, she was cute.

I kissed the side of her neck. She shimmied some more, gasping when I pushed my hand under her nightgown, cupping her ass and then her pussy.

"Hey! You already want to do the dirty first thing in the morning, huh?"
