“Morning, babe”

The words caht ofelse The muscles in his back, honed fro, bunched with everyroom, he had an impressive sun-kissed tone I envied as much as I lusted after it

“Soood” I inhaled deeply and took in his welco smile

“I haven’t started the coffee yet, Megs” The amusement in his tone made me smile

“Must be you, then” I walked into his ar another breath that was nothing but Casey The love of my life “Yep, definitely you”

He wrapped his ar, sweetheart Sleep okay?”

I shook my head, face still buried in his chest “I would’ve slept better in your ar in an empty bed was difficult, and I hated it

“I know” He groaned and dropped a kiss onhis attention back to the coffee pot “The overnight shift isn’t my favorite, but Suzie is deter me Just another week,” he promised

“Nine days,” I corrected with a shrug “Gus and Persy have both said they’re happy not to be on that rotating schedule”

Casey laughed “I can go into nursing or general medicine, if you prefer?”

I rolled my eyes “After all those years apart while you finished up medical school and then a neuro fellowship? I don’t think so, et up close and personal e can” I tilted my head up and puckered for kiss, and my man did not disappoint

Kissing Casey always felt like that first tirade on a dare, but the first kiss that really , when he was fifteen and I was fourteen It was at that age when you finally become aware of the opposite sex, or rather the appeal of theed That kiss took us froht us to this earlymake-out session in the middle of our kitchen
