If that’s not what every man dreams of, I don’t know what is.
Actually, I do know.
It’s being married to the most incredible woman in the world who is now eating something out of a container in the kitchen while only wearing a pair of black panties.
She thinks I’m fast asleep in bed, but I woke to find her gone, so I needed to seek her out. Being close to Gina calms me. It centers me; it fulfills me in a way I’ve never felt before.
“Save some for me,” I say.
It’s enough to startle her because the container in her hands drops to the floor.
What looks like cheesecake splatters everywhere.
“Fuck.” I laugh.
“You scared me,” she accuses as she spins to face me.
Jesus.
My heart stalls in my chest. I swear it ceases to beat for a second or two because I can’t feel anything but this overwhelming need to thank whoever is responsible for bringing me to this exact moment in time.
Gina’s hair is messy. Her makeup is smudged from everything we did in our bed, and there’s a smile on her face that could crack open even the hardest heart.
“You’re so goddamn beautiful.” My voice wavers, but I hold onto the composure that remains within me. “Have I told you that? You know that, right?”
“Do I have food on my face?” she questions, believing I’m teasing her.
I close the distance between us; not caring that I’m nude or that I’m sliding slightly because my right foot just landed in a puddle of honey ricotta cheesecake.
I take her face in my hands and just stare.
“You can lick it off?” She laughs. “Just lick it off.”
I kiss her with so much tenderness that I think I might cry.
When I pull back, her eyes lock on mine. “What is it, Daniel?”
I love you.
My heart screams it. It’s there in every single fucking beat it makes, but I can’t get the words off my tongue.
I can’t do that to her before I know how she feels.
Gina is the strongest woman I know, but men have broken her. The assholes who haven’t known her true worth have hurt her.
Love scares her.
It fucking scares me, too, but I’m all in now. I love this woman with everything I am and will ever be.
“You aren’t still thinking about Dr. Handsome as Fuck, are you?”
I laugh because it’s the last thing on my mind. “Why would you think that?”
“Because I want to tell you about him,” she confesses. “I’ll clean this up, and we can talk, okay?”
I jerk a thumb over my shoulder. “I’ll put on some boxers and handle cleanup duty.”
Her gaze drops to my semi-hard cock. “I won’t complain if you want to clean just as you are.”
