Pose (Club Kitten Dancers 2)

He is, too.

After Bailey left, it just made the most sense. He needed a place to live and I needed a roommate. The fact that we’re dating just made things even better.

The fact that I come home after a long day of classes and a long night of teaching and get fucked by the hottest guy I’ve ever met? That’s just the icing on the cake.

I dry off with my favorite blue towel, then slip into a sundress and head out into the lobby.

“See you later, doll,” Paige waves goodbye from her spot at the front desk and when I step outside, I smile.

He’s here.

James is leaning against his car, legs crossed, wearing the tightest damn jeans I’ve ever seen. If I didn’t know he was an airman, I’d think he was a cowboy at heart. The only thing missing is a good pair of boots. He’s filling out those jeans in all the best ways and I can’t wait to tear them from his body as soon as we’re alone.

“Have you been waiting long?” I ask, hurrying across the parking lot. “It took me a little while to clean up.”

“I’d wait forever for you, Kasey.” James wraps me up in his arms and pulls me close.

Home.

With him I feel home.

He still has his bad days. Sometimes losing his leg seems worse than other times. Sometimes he just needs me to chill and be there for him as he works through this. He’s taken me to physical therapy with him and I’ve met some of the team who helped him learn how to walk again after the explosion.

It amazes me every day just how far James as come. His physical therapist even talked with me about what it was like to start working with James

and even she says she’s amazed with his progress.

My baby’s a fighter.

I kiss him, stroking his cheek. His stubble is rough on my hand, but I don’t mind. I don’t mind anything when it comes to James.

“Let’s go home,” I say. “I need to get you alone.”

“You just want to take advantage of me.”

“I don’t think you mind.”

“I never mind a damn thing when it’s with you, Kasey.”

“I love you.”

“Forever and ever.”

THE END.
