“Damn.” I lean back to catch his smiling eyes on me, tucking my body further into him.
“I do want your babies though,” I say. “Who the hell wouldn’t want Rex Thompson babies?” I snicker when his expression falls but his hands find my ribs.
“Are you throwing shade at me, Aria?” He tickles me, his fingertips grazing my skin enough to elicit uncontrollable giggles and goosebumps all at once. I thrash to get away from his assault with laughing tears streaking down my face. The sheets end up in the air, tossed around in an attempt to dismantle the attack, pillows sliding to the floor.
His laugh … deep and guttural, echoes through the room, slicing right through my chest and settling in the crevices of my heart.
Goddamn …
My ass hits the floor with a thud, and I end up snorting. Rex follows me to the hardwood, his nakedness straddling my thighs to keep me from kicking him away from my sensitive rib cage.
“Ok, ok!” I yell through my giggles and snorting, my hands doing their best to push him away.
“Ok, what?!” Rex laughs and pushes forward again, overpowering me and catching my skin again, using only one hand to pin my wrists together.
“It wasn’t shade!” My jaw hurts, my cheeks aching from the smile stretching across my face. “I want your tatted babies, Rex. Because I love you.” He stops, grip loosening, that look of admiration returning to his eyes.
“Do you wanna get married again?” Seriousness crosses his features and catches me off guard.
“This is a hell of a way to propose, Rex.” My brow furrows with questions when he shakes his head of wild curls.
“No, babe. I’m not asking you. Yet.”
Yet.
His eyes meet mine when thetclicks off his talented tongue and he pins my wrists against the floor above my head. “I mean do you want to after what happened? Is that a thing for you?”
I shrug with what little room my shoulders have to move in the cramped space between my bed and the wall.
“Never thought I’d be close enough to anyone to make it happen again, but I guess. Yeah. I hope I could get married again one day.”
The look that greets that answer has my own smile spreading. My own chest expanding as Rex leans down to nuzzle his nose against mine. His hair falls around us like a little curtain of privacy just like that first night together.
“You have no idea how happy that makes me.” I catch his wince when our noses bump more than rub, but he pulls back to smack a kiss on my lips.
“Doesn’t that hurt?” I ask, following his lead and sitting up, watching his naked body stand in all its glory in front of me.
What a great view …
“Fuck yes.” He chuckles and offers a hand to help me up. “C’mon, babe. We have a lot of work to do.”
“Work?” I question as he pulls me to my feet and over to my dresser.
“Yeah, work.” Rex opens the drawers and starts picking things out; panties, socks, a lacy bra he inspects before draping it over my shoulder.
The knickknacks on top of the wood shake as he rumbles through, opening and closing things with one hand, keeping mine in his other.
“What are you doing?” I giggle as he tosses my pressed jeans at my face.
“You gotta put clothes on to work, babe. No one else should see you naked but me.” His side-eye that I barely catch is demanding and fun, but dead serious.
“Well, I don’t just walk around naked, Rex.” I roll my eyes but hold the items anyways. “I also need a shower.” He’s pulling me in the direction of the bathroom before I even get the words out.
We pass boxes I’ve yet to unpack because the studio has been priority number one since I made the move to get this building.
Well, this half anyways.
As Rex toes one out of the pathway to the full bath, I wonder what the hell is even in them.
