And now my heart is beating fast and I have to touch him. I hook my arms around his neck and bring his head down to mine. “I’m free, Jax. We’re free.”

His lips are caressing mine with a slow rustle of his breath. The sweet scent of the juice he just drank fans over my face and the velvety taste of his tongue fills my mouth. I sigh into it, opening my mouth wider, pressing my fingertips into his back and giving him a taste of me. His hands settle at my waist and he lifts me from the floor. Our mouths are still melded when he sits on the couch with me on his lap like a doll. I want to tell him how sexy that is. I love that he can pick me up from the floor so easily. It makes me wet. But I can’t form words or pry myself off him.

I thought I knew how much I missed him but this tightness in my chest, this thirst for him is unlike anything I can remember.

Our heated grappling blends into soft brief kisses and nibbles and when we break away I collapse against his chest in a mixture of chuckles and pants.

“I missed you, Saona.” His voice is soft and strained.

I push back to stare in his eyes, fingers on his cheeks, and press another small peck to the corner of his mouth. “Me too. Are you hungry or tired? Can I get you anything?”

“A little of both.”

I scramble off his lap. “Good. I made dinner and then you can take a nap. I can exhaust you later.”

I don’t get even a step away before he yanks me back into his lap, his hands settling on my ass. “I’m looking forward to the part where you exhaust me the most.”

“Me too.” I grind my hips against his in that way he likes. “But you better be looking forward to my cooking almost as much.”

“Oh, I am. Feed me.”

We move to the kitchen and he leans against the high counter as I move around. I place the steaks on my countertop grill and get him a beer.

“So…what is this surprise you mentioned yesterday?”

I can’t help the smile that takes over my face. It gets bigger as his eyes narrow. “It’s still a surprise.”

“You’re not going to tell me?”

I shake my head. He doesn’t even know what he’s in for and I’m so excited. I think he’ll like it, even if he’s annoyed in the beginning.

“Can I guess?”

Never in a million years will he guess. “You can try.”

He purses his lips and scrunches his eyes. “Is it under your clothes?”

I shake my head and pour dressing on our salad.

“Oh.”

“You sound disappointed.”

“Not at all. We both got surprises for each other and neither have to do with nakedness.”

I stop tossing to shoot him a look. “Now you have a surprise too?”

“It’s a gift.”

“Go get it. Give it to me, now.”

He shakes his head. “No, ma’am.”

“You—"

My phone rings and the ring tone belts the chorus toI Don’t Fuck with Youby Big Sean. My face goes red and Jax laughs.

“I guess I don’t have to tell you who that is.”
