"Having sex with you as often as possible will make me the happiest man in the world," Sam informed her brightly. "Being with you," he added instantly afterward, "that'll make me the happiest man in the world." He wondered if anyone else saw what he did when he looked at her. How special the woman in his arms really was. He saw it all the time. Every single day. Sam saw more than that tough girl with the cool powers. What he really witnessed was a person, with a great heart, who needed to be loved. He really wanted to be that guy. The one who made her feel special and gave her every reason to smile when she got up every day.
Sam started to laugh again when she attempted a false escape. "You surrender, huh?" Sam kissed her forehead, then her nose, followed by her cheeks, and finally, her mouth. "I guess that means I'm gonna have to lock you up."
