I let out a soft chuckle. “Whoever would have thought we’d end up here?”
“Every one of our friends,” he laughs, and I laugh with him. “Part of me actually wonders if I reacted as poorly as I did when we met because I somehow knew you should be mine. That when I saw you, my heart knew that I was meant to be yours.”
“Fuck everything that happened before I moved in,” I state emphatically. “I don’t care about any of it. Right now, I’m yours, and you’re mine.”
“Not right now,” Ari asserts, gazing into my eyes. “Forever, Lucia. You’re mine, and I’m yoursforever.I’m never letting you go.”
I press a kiss to his lips. “I love you, Jae-Hyun.”
His smile is so bright. “I love you, too, Lucia. More than I ever thought I was capable of loving anyone.”
I rest my hand against his cheek. “You were always capable of it. All you had to do was let somebody in. I’m just so glad it was me.”
Ari turns his face and kisses my palm. “I wouldreallylike to take you to bed now.”
“I’m surprised it took you this long,” I tease.
He nips at my wrist, and I laugh as he scoops me up and carries me down the hall to his bedroom.
He sets me on the edge of his bed and kisses me. “You look so fucking beautiful tonight, Lucia. I hate that you dressed up for him.”
“My turn to let you in on a secret.” I run my finger up the column of his throat. “This outfit was foryou.The girls came over to help me figure out how to getyouto stop me from going on that date. Green skirt?Yourfavorite color. Jade necklace?Yougot that for me. Gold heels?Youpicked them out. Every bit of this and everything hiding underneath was all for you.”
Heat emanates from his eyes. “What’s underneath?”
With my finger still under his chin, I bring his mouth closer and ghost my lips over his. “Strip me down and find out, Casanova.”
Ari smashes his lips against mine as he helps me stand up. He starts with the zipper on the back of my skirt, pulling it downbefore shoving the fabric to the floor. Now, he pulls his mouth from mine to rip my top over my head.
The way he stares at me now is almost predatory.
I run my hands down my sides. “You like?”
“Do I like it?” he growls, grabbing a fistful of my ass. “You’re in green lingerie, sweetheart. I fuckingloveit.”
“I want you to take it off, baby.” I snap my bra strap on my shoulder. “Take it all off, and then get down on your knees for me like a good boy.”
“I love being a good boy for you.”
Ari makes quick work of my bra, unhooking it and tossing it across the room. My thong is next, and he hooks his thumbs into the waistband and pulls it down with him as he falls onto his knees.
I sit on the bed and spread my legs wide for him. “You really are such a good boy. You listen so well.”
He inches closer. “What do I get for listening?”
I smirk. “You get to eat.”
I reach down to remove my heels, but Ari grabs my wrist. “Uh uh. Leave the heels on while I enjoy my meal.”
He dives forward, taking a languid stroke up my center. “Yes, Jae-Hyun!”
He growls against me. “I fucking love when you call me that.”
Ari takes my legs and rests them over his shoulders, slipping two fingers inside me at the same time as he flicks his tongue over my clit. “Fuck, baby…”
“I’ll fuck you soon, sweetheart,” he chuckles darkly. “I’m still eating, though.”
His attention returns to his current task, and he sucks my clit into his mouth. My hips fly off the bed, and I practically scream I moan so loud.
