Story: Love on the Line
“Uh, no. But I’ll parade around for youlater in private.” When she made a move around him to head downstairs, helassoed her waist and hauled her close.
“I like you parading around in nothing atall,” he whispered against her neck.
AJ’s hands found his rear, caressing himthrough the towel. “And I’ll happily oblige while you reciprocate.”
Mathias chuckled and kissed her quicklybefore releasing her. “Anything for you, Amelia Jane.”
“Just remember those words, mister.” Sheblew him a kiss and headed downstairs. After finding his keys and getting hisbag, she watched him quickly dress similar to her in jeans and t-shirt.
“So, still up to going to 10 BarrelBrewing?” Mathias asked.
“Sure am. Okay if I text the girls andhave them join us?”
“Of course.”
Once they finished getting ready, AJtexted Jen that they were heading out. Mathias offered to drive. “No need totake both vehicles. I can drop you back home later.”
“No,” she stated.
Mathias stopped in his tracks and turnedto her, confusion marring his face. “No? You don’t need me to bring you home?”
“Oh, I definitely will, but you won’t bedropping me off, as if you’d then be leaving.” She walked to him and loved thathis arms immediately engulfed her. “You’ll be returning me to my home andstaying the night, because I’m nowhere near through with you.”
AJ also loved seeing his amazing smiletake shape on his gorgeous face.
“I love how you throw my words back atme.” He kissed her slow and deep, almost making her wish they decided to stayin for the evening. When they finally came up for air, they grinned likedlovesick fools at one another. And when AJ made to move out of his arms to graba jacket, Mathias held on.
“I’m glad you didn’t hang up on me, AmeliaJane.”
“And I’m glad you didn’t actually lose mynumber, Mathias. I’m trusting you with my heart. Can you handle that?”
“Absolutely, because you have mine. Handlewith care.”
With one more kiss, they separated andheaded for the door. Once settled in his SUV, they made their way downtown.
During the short drive, Mathias took holdof AJ’s hand and said, “Now, how do you feel about Thanksgiving in Hawaii?”
AJ’s smile rivaled his, and she knew herfuture was most definitely looking brighter.
