He pulled back, and they moved together, her lips lightly brushing his as she clung to him. Moving her chin to his shoulder, she turned her face, pressing her lips into his neck, while he leaned his head to hers, holding her to him. As the song transitioned into another one, he continued to sway with her, unable to move and not even wanting to.
“Jensen.”
“Yeah, Wrenya, ma chou?”
She snickered against his neck before she kissed it softly. “I’m getting used to this.”
His eyes fell shut as he asked, “What do you mean?”
“You. Us. This. I’m getting used to it, and I don’t know if I can let it go.”
His heart skipped a beat before he pulled away to look down at her. “You don’t have to.” Her eyes searched his before he dropped his head to hers, pressing their foreheads together. “You never have to.”
She pushed her nose into his, and her eyes stayed wide as she nodded. “I’m holding you to that.”
“Please do. Because my word is my promise.”
“I know.”
“Then you have nothing to worry about.”
She smiled. “But I will.”
“Annoying, I know.”
Her face lit up before she closed her eyes. “How do you know how to make me happy?”
Taking her in his hands, he ran his thumbs along her cheeks as she slowly opened her eyes back up, meeting his heated gaze. “Because for fifteen years, I watched you. Anything that made you smile, I banked in my brain, so that when I got you, that smile would be permanently in place. Then the whole world would be graced with the beauty that is you, because I love you. So very much.” As her eyes filled with tears, her mouth moving but no words coming out, he knew she was panicking. He could see it in her eyes. Slowly, he shook his head as a smile spread across his lips. “It’s fine. Just kiss me.”
She exhaled harshly before capturing his lips with hers, and yeah, she couldn’t say it, that she loved him.
But he was truly starting to believe she did.
“I’m so blaming you for leaving early.”
Wren looked over at Jensen and gave him a look. A playful look, but he had a determined expression. She wasn’t sure what the hurry was to leave right away, but she’d be damned if she was getting in trouble with Emma. “Like, all you.”
He didn’t look at her, nor did he smile as he turned down the driveway to his parents’ home. “I’ll take it all.”
She eyed him. “You good?”
“Great,” he muttered as he pulled into the spot he had been parking in the whole time they had been there. Shutting off the car, he got out, and she slowly did the same. Was he mad at her? He didn’t seem mad when he was kissing her on the dance floor, but she saw in his eyes he didn’t like that she didn’t respond to his profession of love. And what a profession. She was still swooning and felt all these fluttery feelings deep in her gut. She wasn’t sure how someone could feel all that, but to be on the receiving end of such emotions, yeah, she was feeling pretty damn good.
Freaked out.
But good.
As she stepped out, he took her hand in his, helping her with a gentle pull before slamming the door shut behind her. Her eyes widened, but then his body was covering hers, pressing her into the car before his mouth captured hers in a heated fury. Surprised, she held on to his biceps as his hands slid down her ribs to her ass, squeezing her hard. Gasping against his mouth as he pressed his very large and hard length against her soft spot, she opened her eyes, meeting his gaze. His very dark and passionate gaze. “Oh.”
He was breathless as he held her gaze, his lips moving against hers as he whispered, “I want you.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“Here?”
He shook his head. “Might not be sanitary, with the baby and all.”
“This is true. I’m very pleased you can be practical at a moment like this.”
His lips quirked. “Believe me, I’m impressed with myself at this moment.”
Reaching between them, she took ahold of his length as he groaned against her lips. “As am I.”
Swallowing hard, he took her mouth once more, and her heart was flying. Clinging to him, she moved her hand up and down his cock through his suit as his body vibrated against hers. But when he pulled away, she pouted. “Hey.”
He just sent her a grin before taking her hand and walking backward toward the house. “Are you still going to blame me for getting us out of there before my parents?”
Her face broke into a grin as she held his hand. “I guess I’ll take the blame. I am so tired, you know?”
“The pregnancy takes a lot out of you.”
“And you, being the most amazing husband, had to bring me home.”
“Exactly, they raised me to please you.”
Her lips curved. “Oh, is that right?”
“Yeah, but I’m pretty sure their definition of pleasing isn’t what is about to happen.”
“Oh, no?”
“Nope, I’m about to worship the shit out of you.”
Breathless, she shut the front door behind her. “What’s the holdup?”
Still leading her, his eyes playful, he shrugged. “I respect my parents, and you, too much to make love to you on the living room floor.”
She sputtered with laughter. “That’s so sweet.”
He sent her a grin as he led her into their room, shutting the door and pressing her against it. Covering her body with his, he trailed kisses along her jaw and her neck as his hand reached out, flipping the light on. Her head fell back, her flower crown hitting the ground as he gathered her dress in his hands. “There is a zipper.”
“I don’t care,” he muttered before lifting it up and over her head with more force than he should have needed, but it was a tad bit tight. Cupping her breasts in his hands, he dropped his face between them, tucking his tongue between the swell of her breasts as she clutched at his head, gasping out as she arched into him. As he licked up her chest to her neck, she pushed off his jacket and started on the buttons of his shirt. But he stopped her, taking her wrists in his hands and lifting them over her head. He met her gaze, and a smile tugged at his lips before he pulled the front clasp of her bra and her breasts spilled out. The lingerie fell behind her, getting caught on her ass. Running his tongue along his lips, he slowly shook his head. “I swear, you are the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”
