I let my lips ghost along her jaw, then press a kiss to her cheek.
“My beautiful wife.”
Emma nods. Her hands move along my neck, her fingers teasing in the hair at the base before she presses her soft lips against my cheek.
“My handsome husband.”
She moves to pull back, but my hands quickly find her jaw, keeping her in place.
“A kiss before you leave for work.”
Slowly, I lower my lips to hers. The feeling of her soft, pliable lips against mine makes me lightheaded. It’s that head rush, the feeling of being out of control when all I’ve done my entire life is keep my shit together, put everyone’s needs before mine. It’s what I’ve been craving since I kissed her on the boat tonight, and at the cake cutting before that. Every moment since that dance floor in Vegas.
My tongue teases the seam of her lips and they part for me, inviting me in so I can taste her sweetness.
All too soon, Emma pulls back.
More.I fight back a growl. I chase her but her hands press against my chest, and I have to retreat. She’s resetting our position, letting me know it’s her turn.
“A goodnight kiss,” she says before her hands move to my jaw. I lean into her touch, loving the way it feels to have her hands on my skin.
Her lips drop to mine. The kiss is agonizingly gentle. My desire to take control, to devour her mouth is overwhelming. I channel that energy into my hands, letting them roam. Over her ass, up her back, beneath her tank top until my thumbs are teasing the undersides of her breasts.
When Emma’s tongue dips into my mouth, I lose it. I forget all the rules and kiss the fuck out of her. One hand grips her ass, pulling her farther into me, aligning her center with the bulge beneath my sweatpants. The pad of my thumb teases over her hardened nipple.
A breathy moan attempts to escape her lips but I swallow I down.
Emma matches my urgency. Our tongues swirl, our mouths open wider. We dive deeper, we can’t get enough. I’m a second away from yanking off her shirt, sucking her nipple into my mouth, when a voice registers behind me.
“Oh, goodness. I’m sorry!” It’s Emma’s mom.
We pull back, both trying to pretend that we’re not out of breath as Jolyn rushes toward the cabinet to grab a glass. Emma hops off the counter.
“I’ll be gone in just a moment,” she says, opening the refrigerator to fill her glass with filtered water.
My eyes connect with Emma’s. Her lips are wet and swollen from my bruising kisses. The guy that started this game, urged me in this direction, is gone, leaving responsible Griffin to deal with the consequences.
I should thank Jolyn for the interruption. For stepping in before I took things too far, before I let myself forget what I’m doing here.
“Did you two have fun tonight?” she asks, taking a sip of her water, now she appears to be in no hurry to leave.
Emma clears her throat. “It was a nice party. Good to see everyone.”
“That’s nice. Glad you had fun. I’ve got to get to bed, our flight to Miami is early. We’ll be back on the Monday before Chloe and Barrett’s wedding.”
“Sounds good,” Emma says, giving her mom a quick hug.
“Goodnight, you two.”
“Goodnight, Mom.”
“Goodnight.” I nod. When Jolyn is gone, I turn to Emma. “I thought they just got back.”
Emma shrugs. “They’re always on the move.
“How did I do? Do you think that was enough practice?” she asks.
My eyes drop to her lips.Fuck, no. It will never be enough.
