.“Baby,” I whisper in her ear.“Talk to me, what’s going on?”“Nothing,” she says, her voice flat as she reaches for the shampoo.I spin her around so she’s facing me before taking the shampoo bottle from her hand and returning it to the ledge.“Bullshit,” I say.“There’s nothing to say, Beck,” she says, still not looking at me.“You have to go back to Boston.I knew it was coming.”“Kelsey,” I say, my finger under her chin, forcing her to look at me.“I’m not going anywhere, babe.”Kelsey rolls her eyes.“I heard you, Beck.I know you need to get back for the trial or whatever.”“That isn’t going to be for months, babe,” I say, knowing it could be next week or even next year by the time it goes to court.“And besides I’m not leaving until this Jason guy is caught, I told you that.”Kelsey stares up at me, her blue eyes filled with sadness.I can see the question she’s not asking.It’s written all over her face.It’s the same question I saw there when I finally walked back into her life.It’s the question I still don’t know how to answer, but the one I desperately want to.What happens after that?“Baby,” I say, leaning in to press a kiss to her lips now.“I’m not going anywhere, okay? I’m here for you, I promise.” I kiss her again, my lips soft, but insistent, as I try and get a response from her.“Beck,” she eventually moans, pressing her mouth hard against mine and silencing any more words between us.I groan as I slide my hands down her body and under her ass, picking her up and backing her up against the cool tiles.As Kelsey wraps her legs around my waist, I slide into her, burying myself in her warm wetness.“Fuck, baby,” I murmur, my mouth on her skin, licking and sucking.As my lips kiss up her neck and find her mouth, I pull out before slowly sliding back in.It earns me another low moan and I can’t help but smile as I repeat the movement, fucking her nice and slow against the wall of the shower.The hot water continues to fall around us as Kelsey holds on to me, her legs tight around my waist.I thrust in and out of her and it dawns on me again, just how fucking perfect this moment and this woman is.To be able to wake up next to her, every single morning.To be able to walk into the shower and fuck her like this before we go to work and then to come home to her and do it all over again.This is what I’ve been missing all these years.Not the big city lights or the never-ending drama and frustration of police work in Boston.“Baby,” I moan into her mouth as her pussy starts to tighten around me.“Beck,” she whispers, her head leaning back against the tile.“God, I’m gonna come, I’m gonna…”And then she lets out a loud scream, the sound of my name echoing around the bathroom as she does.I push into her one more time, my hips slapping loudly against hers as I explode inside her, stars flashing before my eyes.Yep, this is fucking perfect.After we both towel dry, Kelsey walks into the bedroom to get ready for work and I head to the kitchen to get us both some more coffee.We dress in silence, but it’s not as strained as it was before.When she’s ready to go, we grab Bella and head outside to my truck.“What are you going to do today?” she asks as she slides into the passenger seat.I look over at her and give her a quick grin.“First I’m going to fix that hole in your charter boat so you don’t have to pay a fucking fortune for someone else to do it, and then I’m going to speak to Finn, find out where he’s at.” Kelsey stares at me and as I stop at the end of the street before turning, I ask, “What?”“You’re going to fix my boat?”I laugh.“Of course I am, baby.Why, you don’t trust me?”Kelsey shakes her head.“Of course I do,” she says quietly.“I just…why are you doing this, Beck?”I reach over and put my hand on her thigh.Brushing my thumb over the bare skin above her knee, I glance at her quickly before my eyes go back to the road.“I told you, baby, I’m here for you.I’ll do whatever you need me to do.”Kelsey says nothing and when I glance over, she’s staring straight ahead, not looking at me.I’m about to ask if she’s okay when her hand covers mine and she gives it a small squeeze.I spend the morning fixing the hole on Kelsey’s boat.It’s a beautiful day and spending it outside, doing something with my hands, helping her out, feels amazing.This is a million miles away from investigating murders and rapes and robberies in Boston, and right now, I can’t ever imagine going back.“So we grabbing some lunch, or what?” a voice says as a pair of feet come to a stop in front of me.I look up and see Ryan looking down at me.Behind him, Kelsey and Erin are standing on the side of the dock, laughing and talking and when I stand, I notice Ryan is wearing that same shit-eating grin he had on this morning when he got out of his car.“We are,” I say, wiping my hands on a rag
