Before the word falls from her, I come. I curse as she follows me into it, and when her pussy clamps around me, my eyes tear because this is everything.
This is pure and honest intimacy with a woman who has opened my heart and given it another chance to feel.
I pull her onto my chest and hold her there so she can hear the pounding of my heart.
It’s her heart.
It belongs to her, and regardless of what happens tomorrow or a year from now, that’s a fact that will never change.
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
Emma
“You leftme in bed so you could play a game on your phone?” Case accuses with a laugh. “What the fuck, Emma?”
I glance over my shoulder to see him coming down the hallway toward me. He’s wearing only a pair of black boxer briefs.
Wow.
I turn my phone’s camera to face him. “I should get a picture of this.”
He stretches his arms out at his sides. “Have at it. I have no shame.”
I snap a quick picture before I add it to my Printe order.
Drake will probably be coming back to Manhattan soon. That means I’ll be heading to Seattle with him and Jane to fill my folks in on everything that’s happened.
I want to print out the pictures I’ve taken on this trip to add to an extra scrapbook I have at my condo. I’ll label it my life-changing scrapbook since the life I’m facing in the future is completely different than the life I had before this trip.
Case drops onto the couch next to me, craning his neck to see my phone’s screen. “Is that the Printe app?”
I turn my phone toward him. “It is. I’m putting in an order. Do you have a coupon code?”
He huffs out a hearty laugh. “Hold off on that order until you’re on staff. Free Printe prints are a perk for Cabbott employees.”
I glance back at the screen and hit theorder nowbutton. “I can’t wait.”
Dropping my phone on the leather couch between us, I glance at his face. “You were fast asleep. What woke you up?”
His lips part, but he doesn’t say anything. Instead, he shoves a hand through his hair. “What woke you up?”
I don’t have an answer to that question either. My mind quieted enough after we made love that I was able to sleep for almost two hours.
When I woke up, I needed space, so I came into the main living area.
My time with Case is coming to an end unless he offers me a job at the Cabbott office in San Francisco.
“I’m not sure,” I answer with a shrug.
He leans forward to scoop my bare legs into his lap. I’m wearing his white shirt again, but this time only one button is done up.
Running a hand over my skin, he sighs. “I had a dream about you.”
My mouth curves up into a smile. “Tell me about it.”
Glancing at me, he grins. “You were singing, of course.”
“Of course?” I question with a fake scowl. “What does that mean?”
