I watch my wife as she moves effortlessly through the crowd of our loved ones on her way to me. She stops and laughs with Mum and Avery, her head falling back as laughter floats out of her mouth and her eyes close in happiness for a beat. They exchange words and then Mum kisses her on the cheek before letting her go.
She takes the last few steps towards me, her lips curling up into a sexy smile. I hold my arm out, and she glides into my embrace, her lips coming straight to mine.
No quick kisses.
Ever.
She blesses me with a slow, deep kiss that tells me everything a man needs to know.
My woman can’t get enough of me.
I move my hand lower until it slides over her ass. When she finishes kissing me, I murmur against her ear, “You have way too much material covering your ass. I can hardly feel it through this dress.”
My ears fill with the sound of her sharp intake of breath. “You love my wedding dress.”
I smile. “I do, but I’m gonna love taking it off you even more.”
She tilts her head. “Why are you at the bar, baby?”
I find her eyes. “That would be because my wife has been busy dancing. I figured she would eventually need a drink, so I waited here for her.”
She grins. “You are such a smart man.”
I nod, tightening my hold on her. “That, I am.”
Quirking a brow, she says, “Oh, so cocky.”
“I can afford to be because I know I’m right.”
Running her hands over my chest, she says, “Please tell me how you are so sure.”
“Nailing you made me the smartest man on this planet.”
She laughs and shakes her head in amusement. “Nailing me, huh? So romantic.”
“I never professed to being romantic.”
“But you can cook, so there is that.”
“True.”
She moves a little closer. “And you bring me coffee in the morning.”
“I do.”
“And listen to my country music even though you hate it.”
“I don’t hate it.”
She scrunches up her face. “You do. A lot.”
I concede defeat. “Okay. I do.”
“You also sit through documentary after documentary with me when you’d rather be in the garden or—”
“—In you.”
“Yes, well I was going to say something else, but there is that, too.”
