“Then we’d better make the most of it.” I closed the door and led her to the bedroom, thoughts of how I wanted to spend the night playing like a reel in my head. I thought I’d take things slow, start a fire, maybe light some candles, then pour some wine.
But when we got to my room, I was desperate for her. I closed the door, then pressed her against it, kissing her while my fingers fumbled with the button of her jeans. She helped me shove her jeans down, then off as I sank to my knees, breathing her in.
“You’re gorgeous,” I said as I looked up at her and slowly lowered her lace panties.
I eased my finger between her folds, her hips arching off the door. “I want to see you.”
She removed her sweater with shaky hands, then unclipped her bra, baring her breasts. The nipples were a dusky rose, standing at attention.
I reached up and palmed one, rubbing a thumb over the hard nub.
Her breath hitched as she touched my hair.
I loved this woman, and I never wanted to be away from her. It was clear to me that I’d need to be flexible like Heath said.
I nudged her legs wider as I eased a finger inside her, drawing a whimper from Fiona’s throat. I wanted to watch her come apart. I wanted to drive her wild with need.
I pumped my fingers inside her, my other hand tweaking her nipple. When she moved her hips in time with my fingers, I sucked on her clit. She cried out as the orgasm flew through her. Her walls spasmed around my fingers. When her body relaxed against the door, I wiped my mouth, then stood. I lifted her into my arms and carried her to the bed.
I’d never get enough of her, and I wouldn’t let her move without me. With that settled in my mind, I lowered her to the mattress and removed my clothes.
When I entered her, I made sure we were touching, my body lowered over hers, our fingers entwined, and our mouths fused. When her body arched against mine for her second orgasm, I swallowed her cries.
I loved her. I just wasn’t sure she was ready for the intensity of my emotions, or the thoughts running through my head. This woman was my future, and I needed to do everything I could to show her the possibility of us.
CHAPTER 19
FIONA
We helped Marley prepare for the movie night and the wedding during the day, then fell into bed exhausted. We didn’t have much time to talk about us or the future. But I was confident that we were in a good place. We had plenty of time to discuss things after the holidays.
For the first time, I was looking forward to spending them with my family. But first, we needed to make sure the movie night ran smoothly, and everything was ready for Heath and Marley’s wedding.
I spent the day of the movie showing vacuuming, dusting, and polishing every surface of the theater. Then I stocked the concession stand with candy and everything we needed to run it, including popcorn bags, butter, salt, and drinks.
Aiden worked in the projection room, testing the projector and the lighting.
When we were satisfied everything was ready, we rushed through showers and met in the lobby to greet our guests, which were essentially our families.
We’d decided to keep tonight casual for the kids and would plan a fancier affair for the official grand opening.
I was more worried about tonight running smoothly. I wanted the kids and our families to enjoy themselves. I’d never been so excited to attend an event at a hotel before. Even though I was just the consultant, I felt as if the theater was my project. This was the first time I was hands-on with a project, seeing it through from consultation to completion.
In the lobby, Aiden pulled me into his arms, making my heart rate pick up.
I braced my hands on his biceps. “People will be arriving any second. We should probably check the room one more time to make sure everything looks good.”
Aiden silenced me with a kiss. “Everything looks great, and the room didn’t fall down while we were in the shower.”
“Are you sure?” I chewed my bottom lip.
Aiden held me tighter. “Relax. It’s just our friends and families.”
“What if they don’t like it? What if the movie doesn’t play? What if the popcorn machine won’t pop the kernels?” My mind was racing with endless possibilities, each disaster worse than the one before.
“Fiona. Everything is fine. We tested the lights, the projector, and the popcorn machine. Even if a problem arises, we can handle it. Things happen. Life isn’t always perfect. But it’s the imperfect moments you’ll remember.” Aiden’s voice was firm and reassuring.
I softened into his body. “I like that.”
