Lee’s mouth came up my chest, over my chin to my mouth.
“Is there sentimental value to this underwear?” Lee asked.
My brow furrowed with confusion. I wanted to kiss him and he was talking about sentimental value to underwear. Was this a jealous-possessive thing? Did he think some guy bought me the underwear?
I twisted into him and wrapped a leg around his waist, my arms around his back and I pressed against him.
“No, I bought it for myself, entirely utilitarian,” I answered.
“So if I rip it off, I can replace it and you won’t have a tantrum?”
Oh… my… God.
I looked into his eyes. The control was slipping and Lee Beast was coming out.
I didn’t trust myself to speak so I just nodded my head.
“Good,” he said.

When we were done, I was on top, straddling him, my knees tucked into his sides, my upper body pressed the length of his and my face in his neck.
When I got my breath back, I whispered, “Am I too heavy?”
“No.”
His hands were idly running up and down my back and over my bottom. I was glad I wasn’t too heavy because I was considering staying where I was for the rest of my life.
His hands came up and with both of them he gathered my hair in a bunch and gave it a gentle tug.
I lifted my head and looked at him. His eyes moved over my face and then a slow grin spread on his.
“What?” I asked.
“I like the look on your face after I’ve finished with you. You look happy, relaxed…” he paused and the grin grew into a smile, “satisfied.”
I gave my head a tug and he released my hair. It fell over both of us and, as I nuzzled my face in his neck again, he swept my hair away by running his fingers through it at the side of my head.
“Cocky,” I mumbled into his neck.
I felt his body move with laughter as his arms came around me again.
“I like that,” I said sleepily.
“What?”
“Feeling your laughter. You used to laugh all the time, you don’t do it so much anymore.”
“You were avoiding me, I wasn’t around you that much.”
“So, you’re saying you laugh all the time I just don’t see it?” I asked.
“No. I’m sayin’ I used to laugh all the time because I was with you. You’re crazy, you’re funny. It’s one of the things I love about you.”
My entire body froze.
“What did you just say?” I asked.
