Story: Stolen Kisses
She twisted her hips, then pressed herself against me. "I do. I can't believe you noticed that about me."
"I notice every detail when it comes to you."
She snorted. "I mean, you are known for your eidetic memory."
I kissed the side of her head. "It doesn't work like that,” I murmured in her ear. “It's not a conscious thing about you. It's a feeling. And frankly, I never thought it existed."
"What?"
I pulled back a bit, watching her intently. "I'm in love with you, Hannah."
She jumped back, eyes wide. Her grin was huge. "Wait, you're serious?"
I frowned. "Of course. Why would I say that if I wasn’t?"
"Because you gave me a long-ass speech about how you didn't believe in love back at the wedding.”
"I'm sure it wasn'tthatlong," I said.
"Well, it felt that way." Still grinning, she stepped in front of me, rising on her tiptoes. I realized she wanted to whisper something in my ear, so I bent slightly. "I'll tell you a secret. I'm in love with you too."
I kissed one corner of her mouth and then the other one before confessing, "I've never heard that before.”
She toned her grin down to a smile. “I’ll say it very often, then. I love you. I love you. I love you."
Something twisted inside me. This felt good. Right. How was I such a lucky bastard? How did I find this amazing woman who felt the exact same way about me?
I kissed her shoulder and then up the side of her neck.
She sank against me. "Hmm... this kiss is different. It tells me that you want me to say it a few hundred times more."
"You've read my mind."

The next evening, I waited until everyone left, and then I made a beeline to Duncan's office. To my surprise, Knox and Finn were inside as well.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey." Finn smiled broadly. "Duncan filled us in on everything."
"And we've got mad tracking skills," Knox explained.
"I thought you two were geniuses in software," I replied as I sat down.
"Yeah, we might have dabbled a bit in hacking," Finn stated, then added, "Years ago. We don't do that anymore."
I pursed my lips together, trying to suppress a laugh. "Right. And that's why you're here, huh? To put your rusty skills to use?"
Knox looked at Duncan. "She's on to us."
"It's not hard, man," Duncan replied, shaking his head. "All right. We need to track down the client."
Finn and Knox both had laptops in front of them, and Duncan was sitting at the desk. I sat in the chair opposite him and put my laptop on the table.
"I notice every detail when it comes to you."
She snorted. "I mean, you are known for your eidetic memory."
I kissed the side of her head. "It doesn't work like that,” I murmured in her ear. “It's not a conscious thing about you. It's a feeling. And frankly, I never thought it existed."
