PART OF ME - you become so emotionally close to someone that you feel like they are literally a part of you, like a half of your heart. You don't want to live without them - you can't.

"Sweetheart."
"Hhum?"
"Babe."
I groan.
There's a chuckle, and then someone with a tail jumps onto the bed. His wet nose burrows under the covers until it reaches my face and he starts to give me kisses. I giggle and try to catch the fur ball that tries to pull the blankets from my face to wake me up. There's more chuckles, and I finally give in and jump up, grabbing the pup into my arms and place kisses all over his face.
Axel's standing at the bedroom door, watching in amusement as Luci struggles away from me and hops playfully around on the bed, trying to get me to catch him again. He stops when I start tickling his belly, and is on his back in seconds, his tongue out over his face in delight.
"Sleep well?" Axel asks, and takes a sip of his coffee.
I rub my face with my hands to clear my sight from sleep, and nod.
"You were out for like 15 hours," he tells me.
"Was I?" I smile, hardly hearing what he's talking about because I'm staring at him looking fine as hell just in his boxers.
"Mhm."
"Do you want to come back and sleep with me more?" My eyes don't meet his; they can't seem to pull away from his pecks and abs.
He chuckles. "You have work in an hour, Aviana."
I fall back down against the mattress and pretend to cough. "I think I'm going to call in sick."
Axel sips his coffee again. "Okay."
I smile. "Come here."
He grins a little and wanders over to me, but stops at the edge of the bed. I groan and reach out for him, but he backs up a little, out of my touch. I whine and sit up again, and beg breathlessly, "ple-e-e-ease."
He cocks a brow and continues to drink his coffee.
I roll my eyes. "Can I have some coffee?"
He nods. "Sure." He doesn't move.
I let out a frustrated sigh. "Axel!"
He snorts a laugh and comes over, handing me the cup when I sit up, and I take a long swig before setting the cup down on the night table.
I hold my arms out to Axel again and whisper, "please."
He nods and leans down to embrace me, and lets himself fall down against me and the mattress. I giggle and push my elbow down against the bed to roll us over so I'm on top, and Luci gets annoyed with us and jumps away, wandering out of the room.
