Chris

Her lips tasted like chocolate, the devils food yet they felt like heaven against mine as did her fingers tugging softly on my hair. Her mouth drowned out the groan that left me as she tugged me in deeper, her tongue flickering against mine. 

It was cold, the wind blowing harshly yet with Aspen so close to me, I was both hot and bothered with the kiss she gave me. An unexpected kiss but welcomed nonetheless. I knew that the kiss was wholly inappropriate for public display, especially considering we stood outside waiting to purchase tickets for the movie while kids lingered with their parents. Yet Aspen didn't seem to care about the kids or the weary eyes directed at us and neither did I. 

"What are you trying to do?" I murmured against her lips, a strong wind blowing her french braid as I pulled away slightly. 

Half swollen lips turned up into a smile, lashes lowering slightly. "Nothing," she lied, teeth sinking into her lower lip. If she had to lie to save her life, she'd fail miserably. 

I smirked down at her, gripping her waist tighter as she moved her hands to my chest, "Liar." 

Aspen giggled, carefree and full of joy, a laugh I would never get tired of hearing. "Tell me. I'll give you whatever you want," I murmured softly, looking to the side briefly to see the people up front where they were choosing seats. 

Looking down, pink stained her cheeks, brown eyes glossed over by the wind. "Maybe I'm trying to seduce you to buy me not one but two ice cream cones," Aspen winked at me. 

Seduce me? "Love you have me at your mercy, there is no need to seduce me to buy you anything. But I'm willing to let you do it as long as I get to fuck you hard and slow-" I drawled lowly, her body shivering slightly- "However I'll buy you three if you give me another kiss," I bargained with her. 

Aspens eyes twinkled with mischief, thinking about it. Half tempted eyes looked up at me, her chin tilting up as if to give me another kiss, a secretive grin brightened her features. "That's a hard bargain sir," she joked as she gently pushed me away, shaking her head. "But no deal." 

Shock and disappointment flickered in me along with amusement at her words, at the way she took a seductive step back and turned to walk up front. Shaking her hips at me, the jeans she wore tight around her legs, thighs and hips, showing off that beautiful ass of hers. 

I was one step behind her, Aspen throwing me an innocent smile that said she knew what she was doing. And like fuck was I happy to play along with her. Closing in on her, I allowed my hand to graze her ass ever so softly. Aspens gasping as I discreetly pinched it, her brown eyes widening at my actions. "Chris!" she scolded me but leaned a little into my hand. 

Reaching the box, I looked up to see a boy with dark skin staring at Aspen, eyes furrowing when he saw me. I could see it, the questions and judgment that filled his head, the keen interest that glowed in his dark gaze. Jealousy picked at my skin at the sight of him, not because he was good looking but because he was young and Aspen was young. 

I knew she'd soon be my wife, I was well aware that she was carrying my kid yet there was a small part of me that would always be on edge with the idea of her leaving. That she'd find me boring and unappealing, that somehow she realized the horrible mistake she made by being with me. She could have chosen anyone she wanted, yet she chose me, I could only pray that she never left me. 

And fuck here I was praying knowing very damn well that I gave less than one fuck on religion. Two years and here I was, engaged, soon to be a father, praying to God and fucking in love. Life could not be any better. And I mean that in the best way possible.
