“Will do,” Finley replied.
Zaine stepped back, closed the door, and Sorcha waved as they drove off. She sighed softly.
“What was that sigh for, Sweetheart?” Finley asked.
“I didn't want to leave,” she confessed. “I wish we could all sleep together every night.”
“So do I, Sweetheart,” he told her. “But that would require us all living together.”
“Would that be such a bad thing?” she asked.
He was quiet a moment before he finally said, “No, it wouldn't.”
“It's something to think about,” Sorcha said as they pulled up in front of her shop.
“It is,” he agreed. “Let me walk you up,” he said, getting out and going around to help her out.
When they reached the landing, he pulled her into his arms, lowered his mouth to hers, and kissed her. “Sleep well, Sweetheart,” he told her. “Dream of me, too.”
“I definitely will. It'll be sexy dreams with you and Zaine devouring me,” she replied. “I'll be at the bakery by 6 so I can whip up the counterspell for you,” she told him.
?“I'll see you by 6:30 then,” he told her. He gave her one last kiss and left.
Sorcha entered her apartment and went right to Zen’s cage. “Hi, baby. I missed you,” she told him, petting him. He hooted at her as if to say he'd missed her too.
She spent several minutes with him before she closed his cage and went to her bedroom, stripped, and crawled into bed. She checked her phone and smiled at the message from Zaine.
Hotstuff:My bed is empty without you
Me:I wish I was there too
Hotstuff:Maybe we should rectify that soon
Me:What do you have in mind?
Hotstuff:Move you out of that tiny apartment you live in, and into my house
She stared at her phone. Was he serious?
Me:Are you asking me to move in with you? Don't you think it's a bit sudden?
Hotstuff:When you know, you know. I want you with me, Angel
She thought about it, really thought about it. Maybe it was crazy, but…
Me:Okay. At least then I'll have one of my guys with me every night
Hotstuff:Then we just need to work on Finley. I'll clear a wall in the living room for Zen's cage
Me:Yes, we'll have to work on Finley. I'll get boxes tomorrow to start packing
Hotstuff:Good girl. Let me know when you start and I'll come help
Me:I plan on starting tomorrow evening after I close the shop
Hotstuff:Then I'll bring dinner. Get some sleep, Angel
Me:See you tomorrow then. Goodnight Babe
