Merry early Christmas you filthy animals
Mature
Taylor's Pov
The sound of Christmas music filled the room. I looked across sea of red and green until my eyes landed on Travis. He was in a small circle with some of his teammates his head tilted back as he laughed at something. A small smile grew on my face as I took in the atmosphere around me. Clark had organized a party for all the players and their spouses in an attempt to everyone's raise spirits after the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs.
I was happy to see Travis seemed to be doing a lot better now being surrounded by his teammates. Ended the season like it did had really taken a toll on him, even more so due to his decision to retire. We had come to the agreement shortly after getting engaged, we both knew we wanted kids pretty quickly after we get married and he wanted to be there as much as possible so him retiring seemed like the best choice.
"Tay? Taylor?" Brittnay's face came into view snapping me out of my thoughts. "Are you ok? You got really quiet for a minute there."
"Yeah sorry, just got a bit lost in thought," I reassured her. "I'm gonna go check up on Trav," I motioned over to my fiancé.
Walking over to the group I took my place next to Travis silently, my arm wrapping itself around his waist. "Hey Sweetie, everything ok?" Travis leaned down asking me quietly.
I gave him a nod leaning my body into his. "Just wanted to see what you were up to," I replied simply.
"Ok," he accepted my answer tuning back into whatever they had been talking about.
I stuck by Travis's side for the rest of the night enjoying the feeling of his hands on my hips and waist. I could feel him watching me throughout the night. It felt innocent at first, but then I started to notice his gaze lingering a bit too long and the way his hands would slip lower and lower until he would need to greet someone repeating the cycle.
At some point during the night, I caught him staring at my chest, not ashamed, not even fazed when I called him out on in. "This is literally one of the least revealing dresses I own," I pointed out in amusement.
"You underestimate your ability to make anything look sexy," he said playfully. "Besides," he leaned down his fingers brushing over the collar of my dress. "Seeing you in my colors will never not make me want you."
My body involuntarily shivered, and I had to suppress a glare seeing the smug look on his face which quickly turned neutral as Brittnay and Patrick approached us. "Were just coming to say bye, were gonna head out," Brittnay explained leaning in for a hug which I gladly accepted.
"I think we're just about to do the same," Travis replied.
I gave him a confused look unaware of the decision he had apparently come to. I wasn't about to complain though. My feet were beginning to grow tired, and I was feeling a little tipsy from one-to-many drinks. "Sounds good, we'll need to plan something soon," Patrick brought him in for one of their bro hugs.
"Defiantly," Travis agreed giving him a firm pat on the back.
After that we made our rounds saying goodbye to everyone before heading out to the car. "I'm surprised you wanted to leave this early," I commented taking note of the time. "Usually, we would have been there another hour."
"There's something more enticing waiting for us back home," Travis shrugged not taking his eyes off the road as he spoke.
My head tilted in curiosity. Instead of answering Travis dropped one of his hands from the wheel allowing it to fall onto my upper thigh. His thumb rubbed circles inching higher and higher, his earlier words suddenly clicking in my mind.
