"Seriously, Jeffrey? You've got the most flexible job on the planet, and you're moaning about a little overtime?" Karen spun around, only to find Jeffrey already closing in on her.
"But it disrupted our cuddle time this morning," he grumbled playfully.
She shot him a glare, remembering the cause of her irritation. "Is that all you think about?"
Holding her close, he quipped, "If I didn't have a few thoughts racing through my mind when I'm holding you, I'd probably have to see a doctor."
He was in the prime of his life, after all!
Karen faced him with a stern look. "Listen, if I end up moving in with you, it'll be a once-in-a-while deal, tops. Otherwise, it's off the table."
The last thing she wanted was to be so spent from their passionate nights that she couldn't function.
"A once-in-a-while deal? Are you kidding me?" he protested.
"Take it or leave it, hotshot."
Jeffrey quickly focused on the heart of the matter. "Fine, once in a while it is. So, when are you moving in?"
He could manage with a little compromise, for her sake.
"Dream on! I still have work, and there’s no way my folks will give the green light for us to play house this soon."
"But our folks have already met; marriage is just a nod away from you. How could they say no?"
Jeffrey wanted to keep her close, warding off any potential rivals.
Like that Levi!
He knew how hard it was to win Karen over, and the thought of losing her to someone else was his worst fear.
Seeing his anxious expression, Karen reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
She didn't want to go from a night of tenderness to a day of laying down the law.
However, being with Jeffrey, surrounded by his stunning, fit, and youthful exes, she couldn’t shake off her insecurities.
She couldn't even compete with the likes of his ex, Caren, in looks. Who was to say she wasn't just a palate cleanser, a simple appetizer before he returned to his usual feast?
"Okay, how about this? I'll stay over for at least two nights a week, okay?"
"Five nights."
"What's the difference then? Might as well move in at this rate," she sighed with a mix of exasperation and affection.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
