her skin, making her feel like she was burning up with fever, the orgasm so intense she couldn’t keep her eyes open, not even when she felt Ross’s cock jerk deep inside her as he found his own release. Watching his face while he came, seeing his eyes overflowing with love and bliss, was quickly becoming her new favorite thing.
    But every minute with Ross was her new favorite. Whether they were making love, sharing a meal, or just taking a walk around downtown after the shops were closed, making up stories about what was happening behind closed doors now that the day was through—every moment with him proved what she’d known deep down since she was a little girl. Ross was her one, the soul that sang the song that had called her home and she intended to stay right by his side.
    They’d spent the past two days in bed and she planned to drag him back here as soon as the wedding, the party, and their first dinner service together were finished. He’d insisted she shouldn’t feel obligated to step in and wait tables, but when the bus boy called in sick and his new waitress flat out quit, Elodie had insisted.
    Truth be told, she was looking forward to a night on her feet, getting to know the locals. She spent too many hours cooped up in her studio with nothing but stuffed critters and props to keep her company. It would be nice to be around people for a while and to get to sneak a peek at her sexy boyfriend while he cooked.
    “Sexy boyfriend,” she sighed as she collapsed on Ross’s chest, catching her breath.
    “What?” he asked, hugging her closer.
    “I said you’re my sexy boyfriend,” she repeated, loving the way the last word felt falling from her lips. “That’s how I’m going to introduce you when I take you back to Houston to meet Gram.”
    Ross’s chest vibrated with laughter. “As long as your gram knows I have honorable intentions, I might make it out of that meeting with all my parts intact.”
    Elodie lifted her head, propping her chin on one fist. “Oh, Gram doesn’t care about honorable intentions. She’s a fiend. She and her boyfriend have standing sex dates. Every Thursday and Sunday nights, and every other Tuesday.”
    Ross’s brow furrowed. “She told you that?”
    “No, I figured it out when I was in tenth grade and she and Bruce kept trying to send me to bed early on those nights. It’s no big deal.” She lifted a bare shoulder. “I mean, I was shocked at first, but now I’m glad for her. She and Bruce have a good thing.”
    “But they’re not married?”
    “Neither one of them saw the point. They were both married before and know that doesn’t necessarily mean a relationship will last. They said they preferred to take things day by day. So far, that’s lasted almost twenty years.”
    Ross nodded slowly, making his thinking face, but he didn’t say anything for a long, quiet moment.
    Finally, Elodie’s curiosity got the better of her. “What do you think about day by day forever?”
    “I don’t know,” Ross said. “My parents have stayed married, but I know neither one of them takes what they have for granted. They work at it. So I guess that’s what it comes down to, whether you get married or not, you have to try not to take a good thing for granted.”
    Elodie sighed as she stretched her toes toward the foot of the bed. “I can’t imagine taking love for granted. But I guess a person could eventually get used to feeling happy all the time. It might start to feel like the new normal, like something they deserved, instead of something they were so lucky to have found.”
    Ross ran a gentle hand through her hair, making her feel treasured with a simple touch. “I guess, but I personally can’t imagine it.” He smiled. “Thank you.”
    “For what?” she asked, returning the smile, because she couldn’t do anything else when he turned that sexy grin her way.
    “For the past two days,” he said. “For being here when I woke up this morning. For making me
