“I know you’re on the pill, but I’ll get tested before I go bare inside of you.”
She nods. “Okay.”
“No argument?”
“We’re in a committed relationship, aren’t we?”
She better not be questioning our relationship again. I growl. “Hell, yeah, we are, sweetness.”
“It makes sense to ditch the condoms.”
“I’ve never gone bare before.”
“Never?”
“Never.”
She smiles. “Good. I’ll be your first.”
And my last.
I climb back on the bed and fit myself between her legs. I notch my cock at her entrance.
“You’re not leaving this bed.”
Her brow wrinkles. “You can’t keep me a prisoner in your bed.”
I palm her cheek. “Not what I meant. You’re not sneaking off to sleep in your bed after we fuck.”
“I was planning on having dinner first.”
“Sassy,” I mutter. “Let me make myself perfectly clear. I want you sleeping in here beside me every night.”
“But Adele…”
I squeeze her neck. “Adele is too young to know the difference.” By the time she’s old enough to understand, Sloane will have my ring on her finger.
“What about Boozer? He sleeps in bed with me.”
“Isleep in bed with you. He’ll sleep in his basket next to the bed.”
She studies my face for a long moment before nodding. “Okay.”
“Okay? You’ll stay with me in this bedroom? No more bullshit about taking things slow?”
“It wasn’t bullshit.”
“Sloane,” I growl.
“Yes. I’ll stay with you since the word ‘slow’ doesn’t seem to be part of your vocabulary.”
I inch inside of her. “You think I can’t do slow? Let me show you how slow I can be.”
And I proceed to do just that.
