won’t lie. I’ve had horrible encounters with men, Shane. You’re— You’re the first man who has ever cared for me or cared about me.” Her eyes look up at me, red and swollen. “I’m scared I’ll lose you. That you’ll wise up and leave me. I don’t think I could take that. You’ve become my best friend, my lover.” She sniffles. “And so much more.”
    I stand, pulling her with me. I grip her arms and bend down to look at her face. “I get that, love. I do. I’ve never loved a woman before. I’ve never lived with a woman before. But I want to so badly with you. My girlfriend. My love.” I wipe the tears from her face. “Sometimes you have to take a chance on something or you’ll miss out. You’ll never know what could have been. Take that step, Allie. Take that step with me.”
    Her smile starts slow but widens quickly. She wipes her face with the back of her hand and takes a deep breath. “Ok!” She says. Her eyes get bigger. “Move in with me. I’ll take that step for you, for us. I want to. I can’t imagine being without you either. I don’t want to be without you another minute.”
    I kiss her roughly and she kisses me back with equal fever. I release her mouth and grab her, hugging tightly. She snuggles her face into my neck, breathing me in. “You’ve made me the luckiest man in the world, love. I’m so happy. You made the right decision, you’ll see!” Bending down, so I can look into her eyes, I am beaming. “I hope you’re happy. I only want happiness for you.”
    She cups my face, her smile is huge and genuine. “I am happy, darling. Nervous, but I’m ready. So, can you move in today?” She giggles.
    I let out the breath I had been holding and look at her in relief. “Seriously?” She nods sharply. “Consider it done! I don’t have that much in the little room over the tattoo parlor so it won’t take much for me to pack it up. Wanna help me after we are done at the hospital?” She nods again in excitement and folds into my arms. She is exactly where I want her to be and where I will keep her. In my arms and in my heart. Together forever.

Chapter Two

    Around noon we went to the hospital with Cassie’s big bag in hand. I watched Allie love on those babies for about an hour. I could see what a wonderful mother she would be. Huh? Am I actually thinking about having kids with Allie? Hell, yes!
    It was hard for me to get Allie to leave, but I wanted to get over to my apartment and get packed up. I was anxious to move in with her and having her all to myself. I know when she tells Jesse he will fight me on this. But, I don’t care. I love her, and I’m not letting her go. He’ll just have to suck it up and trust that I will take care of her. I mean, I can understand why he would want to protect her. He’s always protected her. Maybe he will think I’m moving in on his territory. He loves his sister so much, I understand. I hope he can let her go, let her live her life. I can protect her. I will protect her. I don’t want to lose Jesse as a friend. We’ve become really close since he and Cassie moved here. But, I have to take that chance.
    My pickup truck was full to the brim, but we got everything in there. The furniture was already in my apartment when I moved here so it stayed. Thank God. Once I got all the ropes tightly secured, making sure nothing will fall out, we head over to our place. Our place. Fuck that sounds good.
    It took over two hours of packing, moving and unpacking, but by early evening, we finally got it done. Damn, I’m exhausted! Not too tired to kiss on my love’s neck though. We’re sitting on the couch, her luscious body there just waiting for me to take. I put my hand on her breast kneading and squeezing her nipples hardening with my touch.
    “Ugh, Shane, aren’t you tired at all?” She says as I push her down on the couch.
    “Don’t worry, love (kiss). I’ll do all the work (kiss). You just lay there and enjoy (kiss).” I tell her as
