I pulled the realtor’s sign from the yard on our way up the walk. After unlocking the door, we both stepped inside. I closed the door behind us and inhaled a deep breath. The smell of the coast filled my nostrils and caused my mouth to salivate.

I set the sign against the wall just inside the door and looked at Anna. “I can’t believe it.”

“I can’t either. I’m still in shock.”

I glanced around the empty home and smiled at the thought of picking out furniture together. “We’ve got some shopping to do.”

“Are you going to let me help pick stuff out?” she asked excitedly.

“I thought I’d made myself clear. This is just as much yours as it is mine. We’re in this together. It’s the only way I can make the other thing work.”

“Other thing?”

I smiled. “Sex.”

She rubbed her hands together frantically. “Oh. That.”

“Yes. That.”

“So, do we have to get furniture first, or can we just bone?”

I took another look around and then turned to face her. “We’ve got a place to call our own, and a roof over our heads. As far as I’m concerned, we’re golden.”

She smiled. “Golden is good?”

“Golden is good,” I said.

“So, we can do it?”

“As long as not having any furniture doesn’t bother you. Would you rather wait until we at least have a bed?”

She let out a sigh. “I’ve got a confession to make.”

“What’s that?”

Her gaze fell to the floor. “It’s embarrassing.”

“That’s okay. I won’t hold it against you.”

She looked up. “Promise?”

“Sure.”

“I stole a look at your cock when we were in the hotel room. You were sleeping. Since then, I’ve been going nuts thinking about riding it. I mean, I’ve spent hours thinking about it.”

“In Mesa? Before you cut my hair?”

Her eyes thinned. “You knew?”

“I wasn’t asleep. I’d been daydreaming about you. I was as hard as a rock when you lifted the covers. I was acting like I was asleep. You lifted the covers, and then lifted them again. I tried to be as still as I could.”

She chuckled. “You wanted me to look?”

“I sure wasn’t going to stop you. I thought maybe it’d be enough to convince you to stay.”
