A shudder passed through Kiera, and she worked against me harder, needing more. We were both warm now, breathless. As I moved with her, I felt my climax approaching, and then it was like I was floating, riding a wave of bliss that I never wanted to end. Kiera’s cries grew more intense, and I felt her stiffen beneath me as she hit the wall. Her body constricting pushed mine over the edge, and an explosion of euphoria burst through me, intensifying as I came. Oh…God…

It felt like it took an eternity for the wave of ecstasy to subside, and even then, I felt tiny residual shivers of it, like aftershocks. Trying to collect my breath, I clutched Kiera tight. She was having similar difficulty calming down. Every time with her was so intense, it always took my breath away.

When I was more or less put back together, I pulled back to look at her. “I really love this bed,” I said with a grin.

Kiera laughed, then gave me a kiss. “And I really love you.”

Moving to her side, I pulled her into me, keeping her close. “Now this is how you should go to bed every night,” I said, the lull of sleep starting to pull me under. Kiera let out a tired laugh, then nestled her back against my chest.

I kissed her shoulder, and Kiera twisted her head to look toward me. “Before I forget…I emptied a drawer for you.”

Moving back, I pulled on her shoulder, so I could see her face better. “Emptied a drawer…is that code for something? Because I’m drawing a blank.”

She grinned, then shook her head. “No code. I mean that literally.” My brows were still bunched in confusion, until she pointed over to her dresser. “I removed all of my things from the top drawer of the dresser…so you could put your things in there. So you don’t have to make a special trip to your house, every time you spend the night here.”

My gaze went from the dresser to her face to the dresser. “You…you made room for me?” Even though we’d exchanged keys, even though we’d talked about living together down the road, there was something about this unasked for, unexpected gesture of openness that tore at me.

Her warm fingers touched my cheek, returning my eyes to hers. “I’ll always make room for you.”

A strange feeling ripped through my chest, burning me with its intensity. “No one’s ever made room for me. No one’s ever…” I couldn’t finish that thought and had to swallow back the sudden lump in my throat.

Kiera’s thumb brushed over my cheek, and her eyes shifted to concern. “Kellan, why are you—?”
