Home?

Annie had resisted the overwhelming urge to spend the next week at Clay's apartment just in case he came home. As six days, then seven passed, she honestly thought she was going to come out of her skin if he didn't call her. Every night, she lay awake in her own bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if, during that last week, something had gone horrendously wrong.

The night of the eighth day, Annie got ready for bed, throwing herself onto it in frustration, knowing that her dreams would be restless, if she even managed to fall asleep.

When she was finished he kept a hold of her hand, and pulled her arm around his waist.

"Love you."

That got her a chuckle, "Good end for a long day?"

"If they all end like this, it won't be so bad."

"You looked exhausted when you came home."

Which meant, it really wasn't but he didn't want her to feel like she had to do anything for him.

He'd never been one to deny Annie anything, especially in the bedroom. Clay decided to once again, follow her instructions.

At some point he had the thought, for a fleeting moment, that he missed this just as much as cuddling with her.

Her hands down his back made him moan, "Love you too."

And he really did, more than anything maybe even more than his job.
