together. If you want, we can go on an actual date.” Keegan ran her hand up the side of his arm, unable to resist touching him. “I think that would be fun. We have so much to learn about each other.”
    His face lit up. “I would love to go on a date with you. Do you have anything special in mind?”
    Keegan thought for a moment. “There’s a new movie out I’ve been wanting to see. We could do a repeat of our first date.” She gave him a sly smile. “I think it will end much better this time.”
    “Pizza and a movie sounds good.” He gently kissed her forehead.
    Keegan yawned. “I didn’t get much sleep. I’m still tired. Let’s go in the living room so I can lie down.”
    Rourk sat in the corner of the couch so that Keegan could stretch out with her head on his thigh. He ran his hands through her hair, staring at her face as her eyes fluttered shut. She was sleeping in a matter of minutes.
    Rourk thought about how lucky he was. He leaned his head back against the couch and worried about being separated from her again. A sharp pain pierced his heart. He almost wished he hadn’t signed up for the human military. But, he made a commitment, so he brushed the thought aside. He and Keegan would figure something out. They had to…
    Keegan stirred. Her cheek was numb from Rourk’s leg. How long was I asleep?
    She rolled over and looked up at him. He was rubbing his eyes. “Did you fall asleep too?” she asked, giving him a sleepy smile.
    Rourk nodded. “How are you feeling?”
    “Much better after a nap.” She stretched out her legs and wiggled her toes. “I’m hungry.”
    “Aren’t you always?”
    “Hey!” She swatted his arm. “Yeah, I guess I am always hungry. I like to eat. What can I say?”
    Keegan rolled to a sitting position and stretched. She stood and offered her hands to Rourk, pulling him to his feet. They moved into the kitchen.
    “I can make you something to eat if you want.” Rourk stood behind the grey granite counter. She noticed it matched his eyes.
    “Are you sure? You know how to cook?” She was skeptical.
    “Yes.” He laughed. “I know how to cook. I cooked for you at the cabin. I know you don’t recall—I made you vegetarian meals.”
    “Umm, Ok, sure. You really seem too good to be true.” Keegan smiled at him and waved towards the kitchen. “It’s all yours.”
    “Your mom won’t mind?”
    “My mom spends as little time as possible in the kitchen. She won’t care, I promise.”
    Rourk walked over and peered into the fridge. “Your mom keeps the fridge stocked.”
    “Well, we are a house full of elves with big appetites.”
    Keegan watched as he took out some vegetables. He washed and chopped the celery and carrots expertly, then grabbed the ranch dressing out of the fridge and placed it before her. “Here. Snack on this while I cook something up.”
    She picked up a piece of celery and dipped it, then smiled. “I guess I’ll keep you around.”
    Rourk walked around the counter to where she sat on the stool. “I sure hope so because I can’t lose you again.”
    Keegan bit her lip and looked up, her eyes sparkling. “I’m not going anywhere.”
    Rourk leaned down and kissed her. One of the amazing slow and passionate kisses she’d come to expect from him.
    “You must have driven the girls crazy,” she murmured as he pulled away.
    Rourk shook his head. “It’s so odd you don’t recall our time together. Keegan, you are my first and only girlfriend.”
    “What? Are you serious? You’re so hot. I don’t believe it.” Though, if she was going to be honest, she loved the thought of being the only one for him. The thought of anyone else having ever kissed him made her the tiniest bit jealous.
    “I’ve never been interested in anyone but you. Although, if Tommy had his way I would be dating half the state.” Rourk chuckled and went back to cooking.
    “Oh really—I can’t wait to meet this Tommy character.” She narrowed her eyes, pointing her
