“Rory, please.”

“Táim i ngrá leat, mhuirnín.” I love you, sweetheart.

“I love you, too.” She kissed him hungrily before he moved to bury his face in the base of her neck, moving faster and deeper. Seconds later, they both crashed under the weight of their release. Clare fell against him and he leaned both hands on the dresser to steady himself.

“I’m going to be so late,” she murmured into his chest, giggling slightly.

“Just tell Dr. Prentiss you were busy moving into your new home.” He brushed a few stray hairs from her face as he cupped her cheek in his hand. She leaned in to him, smiling and holding his hand in place with hers. She wanted to melt into a puddle and dance around all at the same time; she wasn’t used to feeling this much happiness about anything, ever.

But she did anytime she was with Rory.

“Are you sure about this?”

“I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t sure, Clare.”

“Do you think Ace will mind?” Clare began laughing, pointing to the dog sitting next to the dresser staring at them. Rory followed her direction and chuckled, leaning down to pat the dog on the head.

“He seems to be a big fan of the show.” Rory shook his head, laughing, then stepped back and helped her down from the dresser. He tucked himself back into his pants and straightened his shirt. Finally, he picked up her panties off the ground and handed them to her, and was immediately rewarded with a mischievous grin.

“Not today,” she said simply, dropping the panties back onto the dresser and smoothing down her skirt. He raised one brow to look at her, his mouth falling open slightly and his pants beginning to feel tight again.

“Oh, really?”

“See you tonight, Rory,” she said with a giggle, walking out of the bedroom. He followed her, with Ace tagging along as he always did.

“See you tonight at home, mhuirnín.”

“Yes, at home. Our home.” Clare wrapped her arms around his neck and feathered his lips with kisses, before releasing him. She finally left for her new apprenticeship. At the same time, Rory left to go train Kane.

All Clare could think about was that she couldn’t wait to get home.

Their home.

To all who love animals, foster them, and volunteer on their behalf, sacrificing their own time and money every day to try to make the lives of animals better. What you do is so important, both for the lives of those animals and for the people around you who are positively influenced by you.

Keep adopting, keep fostering, keep rescuing. They will never stop needing our help.
