I nodded and didn’t hold back the huge smile on my face, “He has been ever since we made everything official.”

“Happy for you, Sweet Pea. No one deserves to have their happily ever after more than you.” Stella said as she walked to where her own man waited to take her home.

Waving off at the girls and promising as soon as I had the date for the barbeque, I would tell them.

Walking up to Tank, I smiled when he opened his arms for me and tilted his head to get something I knew he wanted.

And as I molded my lips to his, my tongue dancing with his, I couldn’t help the moan that slipped out.

He pulled back from me, cocked an eyebrow, and asked, hotly, “It’s like that?”

I growled at him, fisted his shirt, and then pulled him back down to me once more to finish the kiss. Which I did.

And the blinding smile I got from him? Stab me with a fork because I was done.

After I had my helmet on, he started the bike up, and with my arms wrapped around his waist, he took us home.

And then fed me dinner in front of the fireplace.

It was starting to get colder at night.

Which meant it was also time to redecorate my house in oranges, yellows, and deep reds. I couldn’t wait.

I also may have already ordered some stuff online in preparation and needed Tank to get the boxes out of the garage.

“So? What do you want to do tonight?” He asked me as we finished off the dishes.

Drying my hands, I walked around the island and waited for him to lock eyes with me, and then I crooked my finger.

He cocked a brow, and then dried his hands and followed me.

I was standing there in the doorway to what was now our room unofficially.

“What’s this about, baby?” He asked when he reached me, placed his finger under my chin to lift my mouth up.

And then he claimed it in a short and sweet kiss.

“Well, I’ve been thinking.” Then I stepped closer to him and ran my fingers down his chest, and then I slipped them underneath the material and felt his warm skin.

He swallowed, his breathing coming out in pants, “Yeah?”

“Yeah. You see, I’ve been waiting. Me knowing I have no clue how to go about this, but you do. I figured you were waiting on me to tell you I was ready. But honestly, I would have jumped on you on my birthday.”

And with that, I hopped up, wrapped my legs around his waist, as his hands cradled my ass to keep me where I wanted to be.

“But now it seems like a great idea to do it,” I said huskily.

He walked us to the wall, and then he slanted his mouth and claimed my lips.

My fingers were running through his hair, down the back of his neck, to his shoulders, and back up.

I couldn’t quit touching him, and I didn’t think I would ever be able to stop.

That was when his freaking cell phone rang, “Don’t take it. Please. Ignore it.”

He growled into my mouth, and then having the same thoughts as me, he continued to assault my mouth with his tongue.

Leaving my lips, he trailed a path to my jaw, and then down to the column of my neck.
