Imeant what I said. Astrid deserves to feel special today. And every day. But I’ll start with tonight. I plan on making the rest of the evening about her. With Violet away at her mom’s, we have this time to ourselves. And I won’t waste a second of it.
I keep her hand in mine the entire way home, making tiny circles across her soft skin. She’s perfect. It’s a hard conclusion to avoid. I’ve been trying to not admit those words, even to myself. But it is obvious.
From her bright personality to the sound of her voice to the way her body fits against mine, I’ve never met someone that felt like a better match.
I glance over at her, her face is angelic, bathed in the warm light from the setting sun, casting a gentle glow over her features. Her long blonde hair falls down her back in loose waves that look like strands of gold.
I huff a laugh. It is fitting. She’s like sunshine come to life.
“Are you laughing at me?” she asks, scandalized.
“I was, actually,” I say.
She smacks my arm playfully.
“I was thinking how outrageous it is that you’re so beautiful.”
She doesn’t say anything, drawing my attention back to her at the nearest red light, just in time to see the blush staining her cheeks.
We don’t talk the rest of the way home, falling into a comfortable silence until I turn into the neighborhood.
It is like we have the same idea at the same time. The warmth of our peaceful drive becoming tense with anticipation.
I can see her watching me from the corner of my eye. She bites her lower lip, never letting her gaze stray, even as she squirms in her seat.
It makes my heart beat harder in my chest. I know she wants me, nearly as much as I want her.
The steady desire I’ve felt for her these past few weeks suddenly feels overwhelming.
I pull into the garage, quick to walk around so that I can open her door for her.
I take her hand in mine, leading us through the empty house and into the bedroom. My bedroom.
I reel her in and kiss her. Her lips taste like caramel, making her even sweeter. Her lips move against mine, and she nips against my lower lip.
“You are so beautiful.” I look at her swollen lips then into her eyes. I take her face into my hand, tracing her cheekbone with my thumb. “Do you know that?” I slide my hand to stroke the hair from her face. “Hmm? Do you know how beautiful you are?” I hope that she does, because I’m not sure that I could ever put into words the way looking at her makes me feel.
Her cheeks are flushed and her eyes heavy as she stares up at me with a lustful haze.
I kiss the corner of her lips, her cheek, along her jawbone, and over her neck.
She tilts her head, giving me better access, and her hand reaches up the side of my neck, her fingers trailing against my skin before settling against my back, her nails pressing into my skin.
I groan. Everything about her feels so good. So right.
“What do you want, Astrid?” I hold her at arm’s length to see if her words will match her face. I want to be absolutely certain that this is what she wants.
“You,” she says.
“What do you want me to do?” My lips quirk but I hold her away from me. Not wanting the overwhelming lust to be the driver behind her decision.
She straightens, the hazy look gone from her eyes which are now bright and green. “I want you inside of me, Sean.”
Fuck.
I pull my shirt over my head, nodding toward hers. “Your turn.”
She slides the sweater above her head without hesitation.
