Chapter 0747

Wordless, but with understanding passing down the bond between us, Jackson places the DVD player in front of me on the bed and then squeezes in behind me, his back against the headboard. He presses a kiss to my hair as I lean back against him and continue eating my way through the desert tray, giving him a bite every few minutes as well.

Jesse and Rafe look at each other but then both shrug.

"I'll get more cake?" Jesse says, turning towards the dumbwaiter.
