was Joy’s fear. Which ones she’d recall and which ones
she wouldn’t.

    Her hair wrapped around him as he held her to his side. Jairo
loved when her breath caressed his chest. Joy’s skin felt satiny
soft against his. Her leg curled around his hip, her knee nudged
the flesh piercings at his hipbone, and her fingers traced his
nipple.
    The effect soothed him. A calming sense of unconditional
acceptance and love flowed from her through him. This feeling was
better then any drug, manufactured or natural.
    “ You’re quiet.” Her fingertips moved to his collarbone and the
hollow in his throat.
    “ I’m just relishing the feel of you against me.” Jairo closed
his eyes and buried his nose in Joy’s hair, inhaling, he pressed a
kiss into the strands.
    “ You always do.” Faint laughter tickled his ears and
reverberated through his chest where her breasts pressed against
him. “Do you think we will ever tire of being naked?”
    “ I highly doubt it. We seem to get along
better this way.” He pulled her closer. “Nothing is hidden when
we’re naked. We are on level footing, equal. Nothing can be hidden this way,
so why bother trying. Besides, I’m not ashamed of the affect you
have on my body.”
    Her giggle made his lips tilt up as her nose brushed his
pectoral muscle and her hand covered her face.
    “ What’d I say?”
    “ Nothing.” Her breath created goose bumps across his heated
flesh. His temperature always ran hotter with her nearness. “You’re
just so… I don’t know, brutally honest.”
    “ Why wouldn’t I be?” He shifted his head back to look at her
in the dim lighting. “Does it bother you that I speak my mind where
you’re concerned?”
    Her eyes widened and her mouth moved but no sound came out.
She lifted her head off his chest. Jairo felt the loss of her
warmth immediately.
    “ No, I’m just not used to it.” She scooted closer and brushed
her lips across his. “Most men aren’t going to offer a woman that
much power over them, Jairo. It’s not something they willingly do,
ya know?”
    “ You can call me ‘Jay,’ it’s easier to pronounce.” His heart
melted with the caress as his body hardened. This was so much more
then sex. “I know, but I’m not like other men. I’m me.”
    “ It gives me practice, love. I’ll eventually pronounce it
right.” Joy shook her head and laughed, brushing her nose to his.
“You’ll always be ‘Jairo’ to me.”
    “ And you will always be my heart.”
    “ You flatter me.”
    “ No, I love you. You are a part of me. The best part.” He
tipped his head back as Joy scooted up next to him, so they were
both lounging, her head against his. “You’re everything that is
right with this world.”
    He tugged on the strand of hair that brushed his cheek, until
Joy’s mouth was near his. With gentle care, he touched her lips
with the tip of his tongue, tracing the seam until he gained access
to the treasure he desired.
    Joy was the most beautiful creature in the world. Her inner
confidence shone like a beacon in a storm.
    Hunger ramped up as heat built to boiling between them. Jairo
brought her closer and she willingly went where he led. His heart
expanded at the love and trust Joy showed in him. They were still
very new to the relationship they found themselves. He believed
they would make it through the snags when they appeared, because of
this sense of belonging.
    They were home to each other and whole…for the first time in
their lives.

    Joy wanted to climb inside Jairo and stay there. Their love
and acceptance was more than she could ever ask for. Having found
it, she never wanted to let it go. Ever.
    Are you worthy of the profoundness in what you two
share?
    Startled by those concerns, she pulled back and rested her
head on his shoulder. Her nose buried against his pulse. Its rapid
tempo spoke loud and clear what Jairo felt.
    He wanted her.
    She waited for him to make the move to instigate sex.
