“Stop that. Someone will overhear you,” she says.
“Someone did,” Numbers grumbles, quickly spinning Savannah away from where we’re dancing.
“See? You’ve scarred him for life,” she teases.
I glance over to Lyndee’s brother, who catches my gaze. He gives me a chin lift, letting me know he sees me. There’s also a hidden message that says I better treat his sister right, or else. At least that’s the message he gave me loud and clear earlier this morning when I went to make coffee and found him standing in their kitchen. I’ve never been more honored to hear one of those brother speeches than I was at seven o’clock this morning.
“You about ready to blow this Popsicle stand?” I ask, kissing her forehead.
“You don’t want to stay? The party’s just getting started,” she insists.
I shake my head and pull her flush against me. My hard cock rubs against her stomach as realization settles into her eyes. “No, I was hoping to take this party somewhere else. Somewhere a little more private.”
“Why, Mr. Kohlmann, you sure have a way with words,” she quips, batting her eyelashes.
“You know it, baby,” I reply, spinning her out and pulling her back into my chest.
She settles her cheek against my chest, her warm hands holding my back as we sway to the music. “One more dance.”
“You got it, sweets,” I tell her, completely content with dancing, as long as she’s my partner.
And we do. Until the very end of the celebration, I dance with the woman I fell in love with. The one who owns me, heart and soul. The one I look at and can picture in a white dress, our own family and friends gathered around us.
Not now, but someday.
Until then, I’ll keep trying to prove she made the right decision in forgiving me. That nothing is too big of an obstacle to overcome, as long as we have each other. My goal is to keep her happy and smiling for the rest of my days.
Well, maybe having the occasional argument isn’t so bad. After all, I discovered making up with Lyndee is greater than any sex I had before her.
Plus, my girl’s a tiger in bed after she’s been upset.
Maybe making her mad every now and again isn’t so bad after all.
