I step back and swat his chest. “Yeah, Uncle Andrew, why did you kiss me like that?” I feign offense.
He pulls his eyes away from Sophia to look down at me. I mouth “Uncle Andrew,” and he mouths, “I know.”
The joy on his face is overwhelming. I ache for him. Sophia accepting him into her family must be monumental. This man may keep his secrets and come across as reserved and closed off, but I’m beginning to realize that isn’t him at all.
His family is the most important thing to him. He’ll sacrifice it all just to make sure they’re safe and happy. Even if that means they’ll never know the true him.
He steps forward and wraps his arms around me as he tucks me into his side. Together, we face our friends and family. Now it’s my turn to be overwhelmed with joy and happiness. I didn’t realize just how good it would feel to have him by my side and in the open with our friends and family looking at us like they knew this would happen all along.
“About damn time!” Irene blurts, followed by a chorus of hell yeah and I knew it!
We spend the rest of the evening eating, talking, and laughing. It’s probably one of the best nights of my life. The relief and comfort I feel when touching each other in front of everyone is intoxicating. It’s effortless.
Andrew made a delicious meal, and even I’m not above admitting that his skills may beat mine in the culinary department. However, I can still take him with baking.
What I notice most tonight is how much I want him to touch me. How good it feels. How natural it feels. So, when Andrew asks to come to my place afterwards, I don’t hesitate.
“Is that even a question?”
“I don’t want to just assume.”
“Maybe you should,” I say as I walk toward the door.
I’ve already said goodbye to Andrea and Jack. Everyone else made their exit a while ago. Looking over my shoulder, I find him standing in the living room with his eyes firmly planted on my ass.
I giggle. “You just going to stand there and stare, or are you coming home with me so you can do more than stare?”
“Is that even a question?” He throws my words back at me as he stalks towards me. “Give me your keys. I’ll drive. I only had two beers.”
I lift my eyebrow in challenge, loving the push and pull I’ve always felt around him. “I’m not letting you drive my baby.”
He stops. Now it’s his turn to lift his eyebrow. “You had like three daiquiris; I don’t think you should drive.”
“That may be so, but I don’t hand my baby over to just anybody.”
He smirks. “Good thing I’m not just anybody then, huh?”
“Says who?”
He steps up to me, crowding me against the door. My back hits the door handle as he continues to step into me. He leans down, his hands framing both sides of my head. “Says me.” He dips his head even further, so his lips are only a breath away from mine. “You got a problem with that?”
“Promise you’ll be nice to her.”
His eyes have been trained on my lips, but they flick up to meet mine as he searches them. For what, I’m unsure, but his gaze settles back on my lips as he whispers, “Always,” before capturing my lips with his.
I melt into him, my tongue dancing against his. I run my hands across his hard chest, aching to touch his skin. I glide my hand back down and sneak it under his shirt.
He groans long and low as soon as my fingertips make contact with his abs. I’m unsure if I can pick my favorite part of his body, but his eight-pack abs are definitely in my top five.
A throat clears behind us, but neither one of us pulls away. I continue to let my hands roam over his chest, my mouth opening further to him, and he welcomes it. I sigh, my entire body on fire. Heat pools between my legs as he grabs my ass to pull my hips into his hard length.
I’ve felt his cock over his clothes one too many times tonight, and I’m ready to have it bare and in my mouth.
The throat clears even louder this time. “Oh, for heaven’s sake! Andrew, you cannot have sex with her right here in my living room! Go, shoo, get out of here before you end up getting her naked!”
I pull away from him, realizing just how far we took it right here in the open in Jack and Andrea’s house. I’ve never lost my mind like that before. It felt like it was just the two of us, and all I wanted was to feel more of him.
My cheeks redden at the thought of everything I wanted to do to him right here where my best friend could see.
