I furrow my brow. “You’re not?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t realize it until we got on that couch,” he muses. “It’s not a race to the finish line with you. I don’t want to rush this. Do you?”
I shake my head. “No.”
“Then, we won’t. We can just... let it happen when it happens. It’ll just make that night even more special when we get there. Okay?”
I smile. “Okay.” He kisses the tip of my nose. “Are your balls all right?” I ask.
He laughs. “My balls are fine. A little discouraged, but they’ll pull through.”
“Good,” I say with relief.
“Now, are we okay?” he asks.
“Yes. We are okay,” I say. “More than okay.”
“Then, would you do me a favor?”
“Anything.”
He smirks. “The next time you have a concern about us, come talk to me. Don’t go to Jenna.”
I laugh. “Deal.”
“Don’t get me wrong, she’s great, but... I think she might be giving out some bad advice.”
“I think you might be right.”
Drew leans in and kisses my forehead. “You want to go back in and talk over that movie?” he asks.
“Sure. I’m just going to put on some panties first.”
He tilts his head. I wave a hand.
“It’s a long story,” I say.
He stands up and offers me his hand to help me off the floor.
“Then, later...” I say, making him pause, “maybe we can come back in here, and...” I twitch. “Not rush things, obviously, but we could talk some more?”
“Sure,” he says, his eyes as soft and warm as his touch. “I’ll stick around.”
He stares at me for longer than I expect. I shift slightly, feeling a little self-conscious as the feeling curls around my gut.
“What?” I ask.
Drew steps toward me again. He leans in and places a strong finger beneath my chin, playfully forcing my head up. He hovers an inch away, his eyes roaming my face.
“When we get there, you and me...” His lips graze mine. “Fireworks.”
He kisses me one more time, deep and powerful enough to make my ankles sway.
“I’ll be right out,” I say, breathless.
