Silence 4.5 by Janelle Stalder Page B

as soulmates. He hadn’t believed her, but he thought perhaps she had been wiser than he gave her credit for.
    They had a lot of work ahead of them, but at least they’d be together to face it all. As they lay together afterward, he stroked her hair, loving the feeling of the strands against his fingers. The scent of her was all around him. Nothing had ever been better.
    “I really should get back to your friends,” he said.
    It must be after midnight by now. He could only imagine how peeved Red – Phoenix – was. It made him smile to think of it. Pixie and she were a lot alike. Except Pixie was just quieter about her anger. Phoenix would tear your head off with just her words. But Pixie didn’t need words to accomplish the same thing. His girl was the strong, silent type, and he liked that about her.
    “Which one of them finally cracked?” she asked, her breath warming his naked chest where she lay against him.
    “Garrett,” he answered. “And then Phoenix filled in some more of the blanks.”
    She shook her head against them, muttering, “amateurs.”
    He chuckled. Pixie propped herself up to look down at him, that smile he loved so much still gracing her lips.
    “I’ll come with you,” she said.
    “I expected nothing else,” he replied, making her smile more.
    “And why is that?”
    “Because I want you with me as much as possible. I like you by my side.”
    She cocked an eyebrow. “No more floozies in red dresses?”
    He laughed loudly, pulling her on top of him, catching her lips with his. “No more floozies,” he confirmed before kissing her senseless once more.
