"Jack said the same thing. You guys have no confidence in me," Pete said with a fake pout. He opened his mouth to say more but shut it when Myka leaned over and started to kiss him. Reaching up, he cupped her face and groaned. Kissing Myka was amazing, and Pete knew he would never tire of doing it.
When they pulled back to breathe, Pete leaned his forehead against her. "I missed you, too. Hanging out with Jack is fun but he's an icky boy that does icky boy stuff. And I don't think he'd be a very good snuggling partner," he said with a grin.
Pete pulled her closer and held her against him. Being with Myka had taught him patience, something he never had before with women. He was happy just holding her, and knew he would wait until she was ready. "Artie said if things settle down, we can have a few days off," he said as he ran his hand up and down her side. "I guess Leena, Regan and Claudia cornered him about over working all of us so he's going to try to give all of us a few days off here and there."
Leaning forward, he softly kissed her. "Anywhere you'd want to go?" he asked.
