I bend down and pick her up in my arms, carrying her back to her room to rest. She grabs hold of my hand before I can walk away and pleads for me to stay.

Untucking my shirt from my jeans, I pull it over my head. Her eyes are on my chest, roaming, taking in my defined muscle and in doing so her tongue pops out to lick her lips.

Not yet, baby girl.

Not yet.

I slide my jeans down and kick them across the floor. Wearing only my boxers, I move to the other side of the bed and ever so slowly slide between the sheets, taking the position of where I previously left her, then wrap Iris in my arms.

“I’m here, baby girl. You can relax now.”

Her breaths become deep and ragged as she finally falls asleep in my arms and it’s Heaven.

I’ll wait as long as my woman needs.

“I’m falling for you, Angel.” I barely whisper into her hair. She snuggles in closer, then I’m pulled into slumber right alongside her.
