“I don’t think I’ve had a chance to thank you, Colby,” she sighed, and her eyes were apologetic.
“Thank me for what?” he asked, not fighting the urge now as he ran his fingers through her hair - smoothing the bundle away from her face.
Her smile softened as she tightened her hold on him. “Thank you for finding me and for letting me stay here.” She hesitated a moment before she met his gaze, “For being here with me at all when you don’t have to be.”
She was silenced then by his lips gently pressing hers as his hands moved to cradle her face. Her fingers tightened against his skin as he deepened the exchange just enough to make her melt into him before he pulled away to look at her.
“You’re right,” he breathed as his thumbs caressed her cheeks - watching her lick her lips to savor the taste of him that lingered there. “I don’t have to be but I want to be - now and longer if you’ll let me.”
There were no words needed then as she nodded, smiling at him through eyes that sparkled just before he scooped her up and carried her to bed.
He carefully deposited her under the sheets before he stripped out of his jeans. He crawled in bed beside her and made no further advances other than opening his arms for her. She gladly accepted the invitation, entwining her legs with his and cuddling as close to him as possible. She felt one strong arm tighten around her while the other arm reached to turn off the lamp before wrapping around her, holding her as though he meant to protect her from any and all things… because that’s what she needed most tonight - security after the ordeal she’d been through.
