“Oh, chill out, Lily. I’m messing with you.” Expectation written all over her face, she asks, “Do you think tonight is the night, then?” She covers her mouth, trying to hide her glee, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
I bounce my head up and down excitedly. “I hope so.” If he doesn’t jump my bones tonight, I’m tying him to his bed and doing it anyway. That way, he won’t have any choice.
Consent, Lily, consent.
“Okay, quick checklist.” Kourtney sounds serious, her face deadpan. “Waxed?”
“Yes.”
“Condom?”
“Yes, but I’m on the pill.” I made an appointment with the doctor the week after we announced our relationship.
“You’re prepared, good stuff, but see how you feel in the moment. You might decide you want to use one.” Kourtney thinks for a beat. “Lube? You know, just because it’s your first time.”
“In the top drawer of the nightstand.” I hook my thumb over my shoulder in the direction of Ash’s bedroom. Although we won’t need it, I get wet simply looking at him.
She lays her hands out flat on each side of her. “You’re all set for the big event.”
“What big event?” Ash’s low sexy voice cuts through our girl talk as he steps out of his walk-in closet behind me, his heady cologne invading my nostrils.
Kourtney wolf whistles then says, “Looking sharp, Mr. Johansson.”
I spin around slowly to look, my mouth instantly dry.
Wow.
Ash Johansson is sexy. Period.
However, Ash Johansson in a tuxedo is next level handsome.
He’s in front of me, cradling my face with his rough hands and lightly kissing me into a drug-like state. “I don’t want to mess up your lipstick. You look incredible.” Moving his mouth to my ear, he whispers, “I hope you’re not wearing any panties.”
I lose all sense of my surroundings when I let out a soft moan.
“Oh, don’t mind me.” Kourtney clears her throat. “I was just here to do the hair and makeup and check if the dress was suitable.” She scuffles about behind me as Ash chuckles.
I spin around on the balls of my feet quickly. “Thank you for—”
“Checking the list with you?”
I shake my finger at her. “Yes, that. Big help.” We grin at each other knowingly and Kourtney heads for the door to leave.
“Have a great night, guys.” She winks at me. “See you at my New Year’s party.” Waving over her shoulder, she’s gone before I can say Have a nice Christmas.
“What big event was she talking about, Tiger?”
I feel my skin heating under his stare. I think he knows what we were talking about, but I lie. “Tonight. It’s a big deal meeting your entire team and management. I promise to be on my best behavior.”
“You can be my bad girl any day of the week.” He lifts his phone off the kitchen island. “And it’s cute how nervous you are, but you don’t need to be. You know that, right?”
“I’ll be fine once we’re there.” I give myself one last look in the mirror on the far side of the room. I love this dress. I do look like a future hockey wife.
Don’t push it, Lily.
His words cut through my far-fetched wishes. “Let’s go then. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can come home.”
My brow tightens, wrinkling up at his words. “Do you not want to go?”
