Navi wanted to know everything about Alec, from how it was for him where he was from, to how he'd gotten into fighting. But it wasn't something she wanted to discuss at that exact moment. She was content to trace the lines of his chest, the strong curves of muscle.
"Of course I'm going to take care of you. Isn't that what - isn't that what I'm supposed to do?" She'd been about to say "isn't that what girlfriends are supposed to do", but she didn't want to say so so soon. But when he told her that he wasn't going to go anywhere, she grinned. She felt her heart leap into her throat, and she kissed him hard, palms cupping his cheeks.
