“I don’t think so,” he said. Honestly, for all it surprised him. He leaned forward, over the small table. “Not with you to spend it with.”
Sanj smiled and closed the distance between them, and their lips met in a slow collision.
The warmth from before intensified, and Rex hummed his appreciation deep in his throat. He wished the moment could last forever, that they never had to break that kiss.
Initiating time slow, Audrey said in his mind.
And the kiss went on, and Rex knew that when they left the room it would seem like almost no time had passed. He smiled against Sanjay’s lips. Perfect. The kiss continued, hands brushing shoulders, cheeks, anywhere they could reach. And the universe seemed to stand still, giving them this one moment without comment or complication.
