“I love you, Vivien.”Now that he’d told her how he felt he couldn’t stop saying it.
She smiled wider as tears continued to pour down her face. He hoped that those were happy tears. She hadn’t answered his question about being his girlfriend, but since she’d been the one that said she’d hoped he’d ask; he was pretty sure that the answer was yes.
“I know you said no touching, but I really want to touch you.”
“Just to be clear, we’re together now? You are my boyfriend.”
He wanted to be her husband, but he’d settle for boyfriend. He nodded. “Yes.”
“And I’m your girlfriend.”
Again, he’d prefer wife, but if girlfriend was what she was offering he’d take it. “Yes.”
“And no matter what happens between us, my relationship with Bree will not be affected.”
“Yes.” He would never keep his daughter away from Vivien. The two had a very special relationship, one that he hoped would be even more special when he put a ring on it and Vivien officially became her stepmom.
Her lips curled up. “Okay, you can touch me.”
In three long strides he closed the distance between them. He wanted so badly to rip off her dress and thrust inside of her, but they had all night and he didn’t want to rush. He wanted to take his time. So instead, he reached up and cupped her face.
Her eyes widened in surprise, he could tell she was expecting the fast and the furious, but he was going for a slower, seductive pace. He flexed his fingers into the base of her neck and tilted her head up, then lowered down and the second his lips brushed hers a rush of rightness flooded through him. This was exactly where he was supposed to be and who he was supposed to be with. It felt like everything in his life had led to this moment.
Once their tongues touched, he explored the inner sanctum of her mouth. He caressed her tongue with his, pouring all the pent-up passion, desire, and frustration he’d felt over the past few weeks into the kiss.
“I love you,” he whispered into her mouth, repeating the declaration every few seconds.
He needed her to know how real his feelings for her were. He’d never been good at expressing himself. He was more of an actions speak louder than words sort of man. But with Vivien, he needed her to know what he felt for her on a primal level.
She hadn’t said the words back to him, but he knew that she loved him too. He could feel it in his bones, in his blood, in every cell of his body.
Her hands began to unbutton his shirt and soon he felt the tips of her fingers spreading out on his chest which was still covered by his undershirt. Her touch was bold and exploratory as she removed both his button-down and T-shirt, breaking their kiss as she tugged the cotton up and over his head.
While he was busy doing that, she unzipped the side of her dress and the material that had molded to her body slid down and pooled at her feet leaving her topless wearing only a thong. He stared at her body in wonder.
She truly did defy gravity. He took his time, his eyes roaming over every curve of her body. When his eyes traveled back up to her beautiful face, he saw that her expression mirrored how he felt looking at her, as she stared at his naked upper body. He wanted so badly to pick her up and carry into the bedroom, lay her down on the bed and ravish every inch of her body, but something stopped him.
It was the gleam in her eyes.
During their times together, he’d always been the aggressor. Something told him that Vivien was also comfortable in the power position and he was eager to discover what it would feel like for the roles to be reversed.
When she stepped forward and pressed her lips to his chest, he felt his resolve to take a passive role begin to slip as arousal surged through him. His chin dipped as he watched her press open mouth kisses across his chest and shoulders. Each brush of her lips and tongue on his skin had his balls tingling and his cock throbbing.
His heart was pounding so wildly he was sure that she could feel it against her mouth as she showered her attention on him. When her kisses began moving south, his erection swelled behind its zippered restraint and his jaw clenched with need.
When she lowered down so she was kneeling in front of him, he had to lock his knees so they didn’t give way. Emotions he wasn’t familiar with crashed over him.
Tonight had been a special form of torture, watching her dancing with other men, seeing their hands on her as she smiled up at them. He’d wanted so badly to stalk over to her and cover her mouth in a claiming kiss for everyone to see. Seeing her on her knees before him now somehow made him feel even more possessive of her.
He reached out and ran his hands through her hair as her hand grazed his erection. “It drove me crazy tonight, seeing you dancing with other men.”
He didn’t knowwhy he’d made that confession. He was an asshole for feeling that way.
Her eyes lifted to his and she smiled. “Good.”
“Were you flirting with them on purpose?” It didn’t matter if she was, he just wanted to know.
