Chapter 40. Sleepover, Memories and Confessions

The next morning, we were woken up by Bear barking around excitedly very early. I laugh lightly, getting up and pulling Bear onto my lap, but he wriggles free and starts to lick Ben’s face as he groans lightly.

“Hey, no puppies on the bed.” he slurs, but that doesn’t stop Bear, and I was enjoying the scene too much as Ben gets up, looking at me with narrowed eyes.

“Good morning, gorgeous.” I greet him, tapping his nose as Bear wishes him to.

“You two are teaming against one person. It ain’t fair, you know,” he says and then pulls me down, hovering on top of me, pinning my hands on the bed.

“Now lick your mommy’s face, will you Bear?”

“No!” I protested but in vain, and Bear attacked me almost immediately.

Then he goes over, sniffing around, and Ben still has me pinned down on the bed. His gaze hovered into my eyes as we were both grinning at each other. “How long are you planning to keep me trapped like this?”

“Forever if that’s possible.”
