happily.
She glanced over at him to watch him drive. He really was truly handsome, and manly with his unshaven cheeks. She reached out to feel the texture of it, and he immediately became quiet. Gently, she explored the contours of his face, his cheek bones, his strong jaw line, and his chin. He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, and kissed her palm sweetly.
“You make me feel so much, I can’t begin to explain.” He held her hand in his while he drove.
“Don’t expect too much,” she said when they pulled up to the gate at her apartment complex. She pulled out her phone and retrieved her texts, and gave him the code for the day. “We get a new code at six a.m. every morning. That’s to keep out ex-boyfriends or one night stands. I feel safer that way.”
“That seems very safety conscious,” he said as he entered the code, and drove up into the parking area, past the small swimming pool. He parked in her empty space, right near her front door.
“Why do you want to come to my apartment?” she asked seriously, before she stepped out of his car. “What do you expect?”
“I expect one more connection to you, one more open door to your life,” he said honestly, as he searched her eyes. “And I want you to let me inside that door. I want you to see that I’m a good guy who wants to spend time with you.”
“God, you’re such a lawyer,” she groaned, but kissed him quickly on his lips.
“Does that mean I won?” he asked, as they both exited the car.
“Yes, that’s what it means.” She gave him a pert smile as she led him to her apartment.

She showered first, so that she would have time to dry her hair and do her make up while he was in the shower. But part of the time, he stood beside her in only his towel and shaved. If she had to stare at him half naked any more that day, bad things were probably going to happen.
“Do you like what you see?” He wasn’t teasing her. He wasn’t being flippant. He was asking her an honest question. It was more of his need for a confidence booster.
“Yes,” she said without hesitation. “I like it a lot.”
“Thanks,” he grinned, then continued with his shaving.
She didn’t need for him to tell her he wanted her or found her attractive; the proof was jutting out from between his legs, constantly. She almost felt bad for him. She finished up as he was dressing, and left him alone.
She fixed a cup of coffee for each of them to take to work, then sat down and sipped hers while she waited.
He found her easily in the kitchen. Her apartment was practically three rooms and a bathroom. “Your apartment is really pretty,” he said as he stood behind her, fully dressed. “Dainty and feminine, like you.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be as good as yours,” she fussed, as she handed him the coffee.
He wondered if she meant the double entendre. “It will be perfect, just like you.” He grinned at her as he took it.
“So what do you think after we spent our first night and morning together?” It was Kaitlyn’s turn to need a little security. She gazed up at him with hopeful blue eyes.
“I can’t wait for many, many more.” He kissed her thoroughly as they stood at her front door. “I just wish we could do it one more time,” he sighed regretfully, as he helped her into his car.

“How long have you worked for Aronson and Cohen?” Kaitlyn sat in Ruben’s lap on his balcony. They sipped wine, and watched the sun go down. He gently traced his calloused fingertips down the back of her neck and over her shoulder blades. She shivered several times, and turned toward him to grin each time.
“Do you know how you make my insides go crazy?” she wondered happily.
“I’m just wondering how long we worked in the same building and didn’t meet,” he sighed.
“The fifth floor doesn’t really mingle with everyone
