She slowly lowered her lips to mine and whispered, “No. ”
She took my lower lip between her teeth and let out a moan.
Then, my cell phone went off again. We both ignored it. When it went off a fourth time, I started to get worried. What if something happened to Gramps or Grams?
“I have to see who it is, Ari. What if something happened to Gunner’s grandparents?”
Ari moved off of me as I reached for my cell phone on the night-stand. Holy fucking shit!…. The four missed calls were from Rebecca. Not good.
“Who was it?”Ari asked.
“Um…it was Rebecca. ”
“Are you kidding me?” Ari let out a laugh. “Nice. It didn’t even take her twenty-four fucking hours. ” She jumped out of bed, grabbed her robe, and walked out of the bedroom.
Son of a bitch! I can’t believe this. I listened to Rebecca’s message. What the hell? She was just trying to give me the information for the doctor’s appointment. I sent her a text message, telling her to text it to me, and to only call me from now on if she had an emergency. Bitch.
I got up and headed into the kitchen where Ari was making coffee. I walked up behind her and pulled her into my arms.
“You don’t want to finish what we started?” I whispered into her ear.
Turning, she looked at me and gave me the weakest smile. I knew she was trying, and I loved her for it.
“I’m sorry. The mood is kind of…gone. ” She turned back around and pulled out to coffee mugs. “Do you want anything for breatfast?”
“How about we go out for breakfast?”
She glanced at me, surprised. “What about your run? You never miss your morning run. ”
I smiled at her. Reaching down, I scooped her up in my arms and carried her back to the bedroom. There was no way that I was going to let Rebecca win.
“I have something more important to take care of, like making love to my future wife. ”
Ari let out a laugh and started to kiss me as I brought her back into the bedroom.
“Well, if you insist on giving up your run for sex, who am I to complain?”
The passion between us was unbelievable. It was like we couldn’t get deep enough into each other. I can never…ever…lose Ari.
I would rather die than not have her in my life.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
ARI
This had probably been the longest week of my life. Rebecca had managed to text Jeff eve
ry day at least three times a day. I’d been trying to let it go, but today, I was on my last nerve.
Then, his phone went off again. What the hell is it this time?
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Really, Jeff?” I yelled.
Jeff pushed his hand through his hair while looked at his cell phone.
Josh was standing there with a pissed-off look on his face.
“Holy shit, dude, is she fucking watching us? Every damn time we’re trying to move something heavy, your fucking phone goes off!”
