He swallowed. “I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t think I could since it didn’t seem like Rosie had confided the truth.”
“She did a long time ago. She’s great, but Xavier, I can’t live with her here. She’ll drive me bonkers.”
He laughed. “She’s a… well, a lot to take, I grant you.”
“I have to move.”
“Move in with me.”
“I did that with Mitch, and it didn’t work.”
“But he’s just a doctor. He’s not an animator or LMFT like me.”
“Well, that’s true, but I want to think about it.”
“That’s fair.” Though he had every notion to convince her why living together would be ideal.
She wound her arms around his neck and let him pull her in for a breath stealing kiss. “He might be a doctor, but you know all aboutTheDoctor—as in, Who.”
“That’s true. My fascination with that show is real.”
“I know. And I don’t mind it. But if I had to admit to being obsessed over something, the one thing I can’t get enough of with you, it’s making love.”
“Love, yes.”
“I’m talking about having sex, bumping uglies, grinding hard.”
“Fucking like bunnies?” he offered.
“Exactly.” She laughed and kissed him again, rubbing her cheek against his beard. “I love you, Xavier. Now let’s get naked and celebrate.”
“Yes, definitely. Oh, and remind me to tell you about Auggie and Benji when I’m done. And my mom and Top. They’re dating just about every night. If this keeps up, we can move into Top’s place when he moves in with my mom.”
“You’re joking!”
“I sure hope I am.” He frowned as he tugged her to her feet and led her back to her room. “If that man expects me to call him Daddy, he’s got another think coming.”
“Another think? You mean anotherthing.”
“No, no. That’s the expression. ‘Another think.’”
As they argued about the English language, and Xavier somehow inserted a Dr. Who reference into the conversation, he realized he had nothing but joy ahead of him with his best friend by his side. “Hey, about that best friend thing,” he murmured as he undressed her and she undressed him.
“What about it?” She latched onto his nipple and had him hard and aching in an instant.
“Huh?” How did she do that with her tongue?
“The friend thing?” She gripped his dick, and he nearly lost it.
“We never tell Auggie you’re my best friend. I don’t think she could handle it.”
“Gotcha. Now shut up and kiss me, Dr. Who.”
“The Matt Smith one, right?”
She raised a brow and quoted the Doctor. “‘Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!’”
“Have I told you how much I love you?”
