Tessa Caldwell leaned slightly embarrassed on his shoulder, and said softly, "Well, you could at least give me a heads-up so I can prepare mentally. It's too embarrassing, okay?"
Faye felt a bit like laughing but held it in.
He whispered in her ear, "We're bare to each other; knowing everything, there's no need to be shy."
Tessa froze for a second, suddenly sat up, and exclaimed, "Oh my, Faye, did you just tell me a dirty joke? You're so naughty."
Faye leaned lazily against the headboard, looking at her, "I learned it from you."
Tessa lay back on him again, "I can be naughty, but you can't. Naughty men aren't cute; they're just creepy."
Faye didn't reply, instead, he planted a warm kiss on her neck.
After a brief silence in the room, Tessa's voice suddenly echoed, "Ah, Faye, you beast!"

A new day, and Tessa felt somewhat empty inside.
Last night was actually quite sweet, but waking up, the sudden rush of happiness felt unreal.
