That got him laughing, low and boyish. But I didn’t let the moment drift. I tugged him closer, fingers curling into the collar of his robe, my lips brushing his before deepening the kiss.

The flirt woven through the day, the acts of service, the little promises unspoken. That was what made me ache for him. That was what had me melting into his arms now, already too far gone to pull back.
