Page 113 of What If I See You
“I know this is super random, but I realized earlier that we’ve been married for a while now and I don’t know your middle name.”
“My middle name is Alexander. What’s yours?”
She smiles. “It’s Elizabeth.”
“Layken Elizabeth Ollenberg.” Her name rolls off my tongue several times in a row, each one more reverent than the last. “You’re initials spell Leo.”
Her brows lift and her lips turn up. “And I actually am a Leo. My birthday is in August.”
“Hmm.” I gaze into her innocent brown eyes. “It’s like you were meant to marry me and take my name then.
Dude, fucking tell her already.
She wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me again. “After being married to you, Griffin, I’m not sure I could ever be married to anyone else? You’re kind of perfect.”
My hands around her hips, I lift her onto the kitchen counter and stand in between legs. “Keep talking, please, shower me with all the compliments.”
“You aren’t supposed to be lifting!” she admonishes.
I sneak my hands under the hem of her shirt and slide them up her back. “Uh huh. Whatever you just said. Tell me more about how perfect I am.”
I take my time moving my lips up her neck and across her jaw. Her cheeks pinken as she tilts her head, granting me better access. “You’ve been more than kind.”
“Mhmm…” I kiss down the other side of her neck as I bring my hands to the middle of her back unclasping her bra with ease. She sighs against me.
“You see me for who I am and not who someone expects me to be.”
“I don’t expect you to be anyone you don’t want to be,” I whisper as I bring my hands around to her chest, my fingers brushing over two soft bare breasts.
Her head falls forward, our foreheads touching and she sighs. “Griffin…”
“Keep talking, Naughty. Tell me more.”
Anything to distract her while I pleasure her body.
“You…you know just how to touch me.” She gasps when I twist her nipples between my fingers. “Pleasure me. Claim me. God, you make me feel so…”
“So, what, baby? Do I make you feel beautiful?”
“Always.”
“Cherished?”
“Yes.”
“Appreciated?”
“Always.”
“What else? Tell me.”
“You make me feel so...loved.”
Yes!
I murmur into her ear, “Good. Because you are all those things and more.” I pull back and hold her face in my hands. Her large lust-filled eyes stare back at me.
God, she’s so beautiful like this.
