Let them think that, she said, tugging at my shirt. \u201cI want my fianc\u00e9\u00a0<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t argue with that logic so I didn\u2019t, I just kissed her again and let myself get lost in her, in us, in this moment where nothing existed except the two of us and the love we had for each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I kissed her slowly, my lips sweeping across hers, my tongue sliding against hers in a dance that was familiar but never boring, her mouth was soft and warm and tasted like what she\u2019d had with breakfast, and I could have kissed her forever and it wouldn\u2019t have been\u00a0<\/p>\n
enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My hands moved from her waist to her back, pulling her as close as possible, feeling the warmth of her body through her thin shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She made small sounds of pleasure that drove me crazy and her hands were everywhere, in my hair, on my shoulders, sliding under my shirt to touch bare skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTristan,\u201d she breathed when I finally moved from her mouth to kiss along her jaw. \u201cI need you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d I said, continuing my path down to her neck. \u201cI need you too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
We stayed like that for a while, just kissing and touching, taking our time because there was no rush, nowhere we needed to be except right here with each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually we did have to stop, both of us flushed and breathing hard, looking at each other with matching expressions of desire and\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really should go back downstairs,\u201d Athena said, though she made no move to get up from where she was straddling my lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably,\u201d I agreed, my hands still on her hips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a minute,\u201d she said, leaning in to kiss me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a minute,\u201d I echoed against her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was another twenty minutes before we finally made ourselves presentable and headed back downstairs where Derek and Orion were watching some game on TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything okay up there?\u201d Orion asked, trying to look innocent and failing miserably.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything\u2019s fine,\u201d Athena said, her face still flushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh huh,\u201d Derek said with a knowing grin. \u201cTook you long enough to work things out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re complex people,\u201d I said, pulling Athena down onto the couch beside me and wrapping my arm around her shoulders. It takes\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight,\u201d Derek said, clearly not buying it. \u201cComplex.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeaking of complex,\u201d Orion said. \u201cYou two want to tell us what actually happened up there or are we going to pretend we don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
know?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked,\u201d I said simply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong other things,\u201d Derek added under his breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDerek,\u201d I warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d he said innocently. \u201cI\u2019m just saying, you were up there for almost an hour, that\u2019s a lot of talking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a lot to talk about,\u201d Athena said, then changed the subject before they could push further. \u201cSo what were you saying about\u00a0<\/p>\n
racing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Derek looked at me like he was checking if this was still a touchy subject, I nodded slightly to let him know it was okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight,\u201d Derek said. \u201cSo like I was saying before things got interesting, I\u2019m planning one last race this weekend, Saturday night, thought you might want to come watch. You\u2019ve been busy, didn\u2019t want to disturb you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was looking at me and I felt Athena perk up beside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I trusted Derek to run the racing center while I\u2019m taking care of other things, I\u2019d the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want me to come watch? Or you want me to race?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMmm,\u201d Derek said like he didn\u2019t know what he wanted, but we all knew. \u201cI know you\u2019re done racing but figured you might want to see it one more time, plus everyone would love to see you, they\u2019ve been asking about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was about to decline when Athena spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I come too?\u201d she asked, looking between Derek and me with excitement in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
