I couldn’t argue with that logic so I didn’t, I just kissed her again and let myself get lost in her, in us, in this moment where nothing existed except the two of us and the love we had for each other.
I kissed her slowly, my lips sweeping across hers, my tongue sliding against hers in a dance that was familiar but never boring, her mouth was soft and warm and tasted like what she’d had with breakfast, and I could have kissed her forever and it wouldn’t have been
enough.
My hands moved from her waist to her back, pulling her as close as possible, feeling the warmth of her body through her thin shirt.
She made small sounds of pleasure that drove me crazy and her hands were everywhere, in my hair, on my shoulders, sliding under my shirt to touch bare skin.
“Tristan,” she breathed when I finally moved from her mouth to kiss along her jaw. “I need you p>
“I know,” I said, continuing my path down to her neck. “I need you too p>
We stayed like that for a while, just kissing and touching, taking our time because there was no rush, nowhere we needed to be except right here with each other.

Eventually we did have to stop, both of us flushed and breathing hard, looking at each other with matching expressions of desire and
“We really should go back downstairs,” Athena said, though she made no move to get up from where she was straddling my lap.
“Probably,” I agreed, my hands still on her hips.
“In a minute,” she said, leaning in to kiss me again.
“In a minute,” I echoed against her lips.
It was another twenty minutes before we finally made ourselves presentable and headed back downstairs where Derek and Orion were watching some game on TV.

“We had a lot to talk about,” Athena said, then changed the subject before they could push further. “So what were you saying about

Derek looked at me like he was checking if this was still a touchy subject, I nodded slightly to let him know it was okay.
“Right,” Derek said. “So like I was saying before things got interesting, I’m planning one last race this weekend, Saturday night, thought you might want to come watch. You’ve been busy, didn’t want to disturb you p>
He was looking at me and I felt Athena perk up beside me.

“Mmm,” Derek said like he didn’t know what he wanted, but we all knew. “I know you’re done racing but figured you might want to see it one more time, plus everyone would love to see you, they’ve been asking about you p>
I was about to decline when Athena spoke up.
“Can I come too?” she asked, looking between Derek and me with excitement in her eyes.
