January 2nd, 2022- first month together
Snuggling into Eli's chest, Veronica let out a contented sigh. The last 24 hours have been the best she could remember since Logan. Things had been hard on her. Countless one night stands just to feel even the tiniest bit of pleasure over the last three years, didn’t even touch on what it felt like to be laying here in his arms. The world seemed less angry and bleak with him. Who would have thought she would be with Eli after all they had been through, but apparently everyone had thought it would have happened sooner.
That thought made a soft laugh escape her lips against his chest as she laid kisses up to his neck. With a groan, his arms tightened around her.
“Querida, stop or we’re never getting out of this bed.” He told her with a chuckle before she kissed him.
Pulling away she rested her chin on her arms crossed his chest and looked up at him, her breast pressing into his side as he trailed a hand lazily up and down her back. “Would that be so bad?” She asked with a smile.
Pulling his phone off the night stand he cursed softly in Spanish. It was already 4pm and he had three missed calls, two from the shop and one from Jade.
Leaning forward her kissed her forehead and slowly extracted his body from underneath hers, loving the feel of her body sliding against his. “No definitely not a bad thing, but I’m supposed to be at the shop, though I’m sure Felix probably told them not to disturb me as I only have two messages from them.” He said with a laugh before running a hand over his face as he stood and stretched. He was tired, but the kind of tired one gets after having really good sex for hours.
Smiling he leaned down and gave her another kiss before turning towards the bathroom. “I’m gonna take a shower then go pick up Valentina. Would you like to come with me?” Eli asked as he stopped and looked back at her.
She had shifted so she could watch him walk away and smiled brightly at him when he caught her. “You have a nice ass,” she said as he raised a brow at her. Throwing the sheet off her body, she climbed out of the bed and walked past him into the bathroom, sliding against him as she walked by. He grabbed her and pulled her naked body against his.
“Woman, you’re trying to kill me.” He mumbled against her lips as he walked her to the bathroom counter and lifted her onto it before turning on the shower and kissing her. “Do you want to come with me to pick up Valentina?” He asked her after their heated make out session as they both stepped into the shower now that the water had heated up.
She stilled for a moment and looked up at him. Eli wished he could see what was going on in that head of hers, but before he could speculate a quick nod came from the blonde as she reached for the shampoo. “I would like that.” She said softly and a bit timidly. It was one think to have meet Jade before, but to be seeing her while picking her daughter up with her ex husband was an entirely new thing and Veronica was wondering how it would go once she found out.
Seeing the wheels turning in her head by the look in her eyes, he pulled her to him and washed the shampoo out of her hair. “If it makes you more comfortable you can stay in the car?” He suggested but it came out as more of a question.
Shaking her head, she smiled as she looked up at him, grateful for the suggestion but knowing if this was to work, they needed to present a united front and Jade needed to know she wasn’t going anywhere. “No, I’m coming with you. “ She told him as she grabbed his face between her hands laying a kiss gently against his lips.
