With her hands still clasped around my wrists, I let her have this moment of power. Though it wouldn’t take much to escape from her hold, I rather liked being at her mercy.
“You got me, baby.”
Her mouth widened on the biggest and brightest smile I’d ever seen cross her mouth. One I would, without a doubt, remember till the end of time. It was the way her chocolate eyes illuminated as if she realized the happiness she never thought would be possible was. Like it had suddenly hit her, and I had a front-row seat to it.
Then, when I thought she would pull away, she didn’t. Instead, she dropped her mouth onto mine and kissed me. The soft brush of her lips against mine sent my heart thrashing against my chest. Despite how badly I wanted to grab onto her, cup her cheek, and tangle my fingers in her hair, I remained pliant under her. I let her rub those sweet little breasts over my chest as her hips ground down on me. So very lightly, almost like she wasn’t rubbing herself against me. I urged her on with the thrust of my hips. A squeal escaped from her mouth but found itself trapped in our kiss as I stroked my tongue against hers. Her squeals turned into sighs, and as soon as she released my wrists, I went for her hips.
“Hayes. Mal. Dinner’s ready!” The sound of my mom’s voice carried into my room, causing every pent-up part of me to deflate. The vibration of Blue’s chuckles bounced across my lips as she reluctantly pulled away.
“What’s so funny, Blue?” I teased, half disappointed I couldn’t kiss her any longer and half tempted to mess with her.
“Nothing.” She shook her head, all while suppressing laughter with her top teeth digging into her bottom lip. To make matters worse, my raging hard-on was pressing directly into the crevice of her perfect little ass, and all my lust-filled mind could think about doing was driving into her.
Little fucking minx.
“Oh, yeah? Nothing, huh?” With my hands now free, I went for her side. My fingers tickled the area just above her hip bone, and she let out a high-pitched squeal. One that had to have resonated throughout the whole house.
“Don’t you dare tickle me, Decker.” Her bouncing voice and lighthearted smile contradicted the authoritative words that came out of her mouth.
“Decker?” I continued the attack of tickles until she rolled off me in a fit of laughter and squeals. “Nope, don’t like that. You must be mad if you’re calling me by my last name.”
My hands moved over her belly and up to her armpits, where she fought her heart out to get me off her.
God, she was adorable.
“Decker. Decker. Decker.” She repeated over and over with a breathy gasp, causing my brow to lift as my hands halted.
“Matter of fact, keep saying my name like that. ”
Rolling her eyes, she shoved me away and shot off my bed. Her hoodie was slightly favoring one side of her shoulder, while her hair looked like it had been through a storm. In other words, she looked fucking stunning.
“It wasn’t supposed to sound… I was just trying to get under your skin!” She argued on a huff as she straightened her shirt with a pout. “Now I feel like the whole house heard me moan your name when really you were just tickling me, and I couldn’t breathe.”
“No one heard you.” I reassured her as I followed her off the bed. With her eyes heavy on mine, I closed the distance between us. “Besides, maybe, Mal.” I teased, and her eyes quickly went from relieved to horrified. It wasn’t like we were actually doing anything ‘bad’, but I could see why she would be worried. So, I swiftly snatched her jaw with gentle fingers and titled her head up. “I’m kidding. The only one who’s allowed to hear you like that is me.”
Her stare turned to molten lava at my possessive confession. I wasn’t normally the dominant, overprotective type, but with Wren, I was unable to stop it. The feelings were unavoidable and only seemed to be growing.
“Promise it won’t be awkward at dinner?” She asked with her transfixed gaze still focused on mine. “After your mom caught us kissing? I think I’ll die of embarrassment if she brings it up.”
Dying.
Though she meant no harm with her joke or probably even noticed it, the mention of it had me flinching.
“She’s probably forgotten about it by now. Besides, it’s not like she won’t ever catch us kissing. Because I plan on kissing you a lot.”
Her mouth curled. “Just this weekend?”
“Forever.”

WREN
Before making our descent to the dining room, I had excused myself to the bathroom for a little pep talk and to, of course, pee. As I finished up washing my hands, my phone vibrated inside my back pocket. Using a hand towel, I dried off my damp hands and yanked my phone out.
Kate: I did it.
Confused, I run through my head all the possibilities of what she could have meant by that, but I ultimately come up empty.
