Saber pulled back to stare down at Taylor when he felt her withdrawal. He touched her cheek, brushing her hair back against the pillow. She gave him a sad smile.
“What is bothering you, little star?” Saber asked in a husky voice.
Taylor raised her hand again and touched his lips. “I was just thinking of my conversation with Jordan and Jesse earlier,” she admitted.
A knowing look filled Saber’s eyes and he slid down to lie beside her. Pulling her into his arms, he held her close. He felt the soft sigh that escaped her.

Taylor grinned up at him as her fingers moved back down to the edge of his pants again. This time her fingers dipped inside, just enough to tease him. She looked at him with wide brown eyes gleaming with mischief.
“How do you feel about trolls in the house?” she asked.
