Dexter nuzzled his face against her neck and answered honestly, “Just tired and not in the mood to move.”

Even at this late hour, there were still lively sounds outside. Josie gazed at his face and fell into a momentary

silence. Outsiders would never guess that the usually composed and cool Dexter also had these melancholy

moments, like a child who had just lost a beloved candy.

Josie responded, “You’ve been working hard.” xo.com fast update

He reached out, gently grasping her chin, and leaned in for a deep, passionate kiss.

Josie’s attempts to push him away only fueled his desire, making the kiss even more intense. Her body melted into

his, while his sturdy back provided unwavering support.

As the clock struck midnight, the sky erupted with the explosive sounds of fireworks, their reverberations reaching

even through the car window.

As the old year came to an end and made way for the new, Josie’s confidence in Dexter’s abilities remained

unwavering.

Josie’s hand as they made their way to Mason Garden. A thought struck him along the journey, and he took

something out of his suit pocket, offering it to her, “Happy New Year.”

Josie raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“It’s a New Year’s gift, Mrs. Russell.” He curved his lips, exuding a gentle demeanor.
