Fatima had fallen asleep on Rountree halfway through the movie, but he wasn't willing to wake her up. When the movie was over, he gently moved her so he could get up, then tucked her in. He gave her a gentle forehead kiss, then slipped into his own room. He left the door halfway open in case Fatima woke up and wanted to join him, then removed his shirt and crawled into bed. He closed his eyes and tried not to think about the beautiful woman in the next room. They had shared their first mutual kiss a few hours ago, and it was all he could think about. He wanted every inch of her all to himself. Then he remembered that he could watch Sunset Canyon to ease it, he'd done it before. He reached over and opened his laptop, then put on the first episode. He smiled as he settled into a doze. He was vaguely aware of the first episode ending and the second beginning.
Fatima woke up a few hours later and realized she was on the couch. She wrapped the blanket around her shoulders and trotted into Rountree's room. She crawled into the bed next to him and snuggled close to him.
"Hi, sweetheart," Rountree mumbled, still half asleep.
"Hey. Do you want me to turn off the show?" she replied, tugging the blankets away from him. Rountree untucked the blankets and passed them to her. He crawled out of the bed.
"No, it's okay. I got it, I'm going to use the bathroom real quick anyway," he whispered. When he came back, Fatima was snuggled with the blankets in the middle of the bed. Rountree smiled. He gently moved her over and snuggled next to her. "Do you want to talk about what happened earlier?" he asked, referring to their frantic makeout session.
"No, but I wouldn't mind some more kisses," she said seductively.
"Well, I suppose that could be arranged," he murmured, pulling her close.
