Chapter Forty

“I should tell you,” Sin whispers in the dark. We’re in bed, wrapped in each other, naked, clean, slathered in that body lotion of hers, and exhausted from a vigorous session of fucking and a nice long shower. “I’m not sure how to do this part.”
“What part?” I trace circles on her arm.
“Relationships. I’m so used to doing everything myself. I’m not great at asking for help.”
“Good thing I’m pretty good at offering it before you have to. I can’t read minds so you’re going to have to get better at that part.”
I stroke a hand down her arm and she snuggles close. She runs her toes up my leg. “I love how hairy you are.”
“Hmmm.” I pretend to contemplate what she said. “I think that counts as you expressing yourself.” I pull her closer.
“So we’re doing this?”
“Yes. No more ‘just’ anything when it comes us. From now on it’s all, everything, completely, and ten toes down.”
“Okay,” she whispers and nestles into my side. “All, everything, completely, and ten toes down, I love you.”
I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
