Having Tallis rest on him felt much more satisfying than he could have imagined. When he'd sleep with women, and they'd [i]insist[/I] on staying the night, he'd make sure none of their body parts would even come close to touching. He hated cuddling. But, something about sleeping with Tallis brought him a euphoric feeling head to toe. He woke up once or twice throughout the night, almost in panic at the feeling of someone's weight on him, but would sigh and smile when he saw it was her. One arm was wrapped around under her head with his hand on her shoulder, the other resting on top of her arm that was on his stomach. One of the times he woke up, he caught himself staring at her still body, and he gently brushed away some of the hair that had fallen across her face. 

He mostly expected Tallis to be gone when he woke up, her signature move. He knew it was his fault; being with Moira didn't exactly benefit Tallis and his relationship. Moira always knew that he had feelings for Tallis, although he denied it. He remembered a fight between them before Taylor was killed, and he and Tallis had yet to find out how the other felt. 

"I've seen how you look at her, Tillman!" Moira screamed, throwing her glass she was drinking at him.
Jeremy dodged it just in time and audibly laughed. "Moira, you're acting fucking crazy."
"Oh, so you like when [i]she[/i] acts crazy but not me, huh? Is that it?" Another piece of glassware was thrown across the room, hitting the wall behind him.
"Jesus, Moira. Calm the fuck down. She's like my little sister!"
"Don't lie to me, asshole!" 
Jeremy walked up to her, grabbing her arm right before she threw a plate. It dropped and shattered on the floor at their feet. Moira blew a piece of hair out of her face as she looked to him with pure jealousy in her eyes.
"I know I'll find her in my bed one day."

And Moira did a year later. Part of Jeremy wanted her to find them, so that maybe she would finally leave him. But she didn't. She had loved him with all of her heart, and the fact that Jeremy didn't made her even crazier. 

Jeremy began to stir as the morning sun peaked through his window; he had forgotten to close the shades last night. He looked down to see Tallis on his chest, and he sighed in relief that she was still there. The events of the night before were blurry to him, but since he still had his jeans on, he wasn't too concerned. He gently ran a hand through her hair and kissed the top of her head, gently enough not to wake her. He closed his eyes and lightly stroked Tallis' tattooed arm with his fingers.

Solo awoke in a cold sweat. [i]"It was just a dream,"[/I] he assured himself as he popped his head up and looked around. A small pool of blood had dried on his pillow from his lip. He grabbed his phone from the end table and began to type a message to Kaci.

"I'm alive. Passed out as soon as I got in. Hope you had a good night, K." He hit send and rubbed his eyes. He shot up out if bed and got into the shower. [i]"Hope you had a good night? You take her virginity yesterday and then send her that?"[/i] He shook his head and thought about her in his bed yesterday. It caused a smile to slowly form on his face. She was so beautiful, and he felt completely undeserving.
