Asmile played on herlips. I liked seeing her like this, completely sated and happy. I'd never seen this kind of smile on her before. "I'm so thirsty."
"Me too," I said.
"Come on, let's go into the living room. We need to hydrate.”
“You first."
She looked at me over her shoulder. "Why?"
"I like the way you move your hips. You look stunning."
"Oh really? I love the effect my lingerie has on men."
My smile fell. Her words felt like a punch to the gut.On men.
Jesus, I wasn't the first one to see her wear these, obviously. Why was that a surprise?
It wasn't. What was surprising was my reaction to it. I couldn't bear the thought that someone else had seen her naked before me, that anyone had touched her.
"Meredith," I said. Something in my tone probably tipped her off. She turned and looked at me.
"What?" Her eyes searched my face.
I stepped so close to her that the front of my body was plastered against hers. I touched the side of her head, pressing my thumb at the base of her hairline. "Me, just me. I'm the only one who can see you like this from now on."
She parted her lips, surprise etched on her features. Was it because she didn't expect it or because she didn't want it?
"The only one who can make you come, who can make you feel everything you felt tonight."
"The only one," she agreed.
The knot unfurled in my chest. I hadn't been aware of it before then.
"Only you," she repeated, and I pulled her in for a kiss, needing to feel her close and to know she meant every word. I felt her smile against my mouth, and I pulled back, watching her. "I knew you were bossy, but I didn't think you'd be a possessive Neanderthal too."
"I don't know about Neanderthal—"
"Yes, you are," she interrupted.
"But you're right that I’m possessive. I won't share you."
She cleared her throat, looking up. "Neither will I. Word of warning: anyone gets close to you, I might claw her face."
"Fuck yes." Pride thumped in my chest.
She nodded, putting her hand on her throat. "Okay, I really need that water. My throat is aching a bit. Someone might have made me cry out too loud."
"There's no such thing as too loud. I loved hearing you."
I walked closer to her, bringing my mouth to her ear after she turned around. We walked in tandem to the kitchen with my arms around her middle. "To feel you, to see you."
"Wait. First, we drink water, and then you can go back to whatever it is you're doing. No clue what your endgame is, but I'm up for everything, and I like it."
Once at the kitchen island, I let go. I sliced two lemons while she filled two glasses with filtered water, and then I squeezed them into the glasses.
"Well, I have a squeezer, but why use it when I can make good use of your muscles and extremely talented fingers?"
