No distractions. No ulterior motives.

She yearned for his all-encompassing love and affection.

In return, she was prepared to fulfill his every heart's desire. And she was more than ready to follow through.

Brian had not anticipated this bold move from Rosalynn.

Inhaling the unique fragrance that was exclusively hers, his fingers traced a path under the hem of her clothing, brushing against her velvety skin.

“Are you flirting with me at dawn, my dear?" he teased.

“Wasn't I enough for you last night?"

His voice, along with his fingertips leaving a heated path, sent shivers down her spine.

Catching on to his intentions, Rosalynn firmly held his wandering hand.

“Hey! Answer me first. Reign it in!"

Brian fell silent, momentarily stumped.

There were just some things he could not keep under control.

After meeting Rosalynn, his composed and confident demeanor had begun to wane.

“Are you certain about us? Starting anew, I mean."

Brian withdrew his hand under her shirt, winding it around her slender waist instead.

"Absolutely," Rosalynn replied, a nod affirming her words.

Brian's smile was a slow one.

"Then be ready to never leave this room again."

“What?" Rosalynn sputtered in confusion.

“Honey, it's a man's prerogative to ensure his girlfriend can't leave the bed when he's in love," Brian teased, a wicked grin playing on his lips before he bent to claim her mouth.

“Brian, hold on!" Rosalynn shrieked, dodging his advances, torn between wanting to laugh or cry.

Brian's lips traced a feathery path from her sensitive earlobes, his eyes brimming with affection.
