“Me neither.” Finley leans into me, pressing a kiss to my bicep. “I love you too much for that.”
“I want to... I don’t know... hang out like before and I want to do more. Like last night. I liked what we did last night.”
Looking between Jayden and me, she lifts onto her tiptoes and plants a kiss to my jaw before she asks, “What did you like about it?”
The thumping in my chest becomes faster.
“Watching you,” I tell her and lifting my gaze to Jayden’s, I add, “together.”
“What part?” Jayden takes another step closer so that we’re in a huddle. “The dancing, the touching... the kissing?”
“I don’t know, JJ. I liked all of it.”
“Was there anything you didn’t like?” Finley asks.
Looking between the two of them, I admit the only truth I have. The only thing I know. “Leaving. I didn’t like leaving.”
“Because you didn’t want us to do more without you?”
“No.No, it’s okay if you do more without me. Fuck, I...” Sucking in a deep breath, I tell them, “I didn’t like leaving because I enjoyed seeing you together and being a part of it.”
“If there’s ever anything you don’t like, you’ll tell us. Right?” Taking Finley’s hand in his, Jayden shifts to Finley’s side.
“Yes,” I reply, even though I can’t imagine ever disliking watching them together.
“Good,” he says, tugging Finley in front of him.
A loud giggle bubbles from her when she collides with his chest. My hand is still clutching her hip when he leans into her and brushes his lips across Finley’s. His mischievous stare lifts to mine, right before he licks at the plump flesh and then sucks it into his mouth.
Fuck.
Finley’s groan rakes through me. A white-hot bolt sears down my spine, straight to my groin when she opens up for him.
“Do you like this, Fin?” Jayden teases. His hands trail from her waist to her hips, rounding to her ass when she nods. “Do you like being watched, baby?”
“Yes.”
Her head falls back as he licks a wet path along her jaw to her ear. “Good girl.”
I can’t look away.
Not for a second.
Not while his sculpted lips caress her skin, and she melts deeper into him. Trembling with every ragged breath.
With every kiss that he lavishes on her, a thrill sparks brighter in my chest. Warming through me with a relentless ache I can’t breathe past as I fumble with my key as I open the door.
I want to be a part of them so desperately.
It’s all I think about. All I feel. They’re all I yearn for.
In one swift move, Jayden throws Finley over his shoulder and powers past me straight to the couch. Her giggles fill the apartment. It’s the most wonderful sound I’ve ever heard.
This is the music I love—the sound of Finley's happiness and Jayden’s joy lighting up my universe.
With a playful swat to Finley's ass, Jayden throws her on the couch. Straddling her thighs, he pins her down with his body and cuffs her wrists to the midnight blue velvet. He’s nipping at her jaw and her throat while his other hand roves down her chest, clawing at her sides... and Finley’s thrashing. Legs kicking. Garbled squeals cutting through the air.
The air chills in my lungs.
