Stuck On You novel Chapter 23

Hayden kissed my head gently and rubbed his hand down my back gently. “Are you okay?” he asked. I smiled gently and kissed him. I was great, I was better than great, I was fantastic. I slid on top of him and laid my arms on his chest.

“I’m great,” I smiled.

“I didn’t hurt you or anything, did I?” he asked, slightly worried. I shook my head.

“Sore… but I’m fine… promise,” I said. He smiled lightly and ran his thumb along my cheek.

“You’re beautiful, you know that,” he said softly. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

“You’re just saying that because you finally got your way,” I joked. His smile fell.

“I mean it, Jo. I love you,” he said as his thumb ran along my cheek again. He reached up and kissed me gently. My eyes fluttered close as he rolled us over so that he was hovering above me. The sheets ran over my skin as they moved with us. He kissed me passionately. I was stirred. I pulled him closer to me and he chuckled. “Round two,” he said jokingly. I, however, was not joking. I wrapped my legs around his waist and attached my lips fiercely to his.

Hours later, we were lying next to each other again with our underwear back on. Hayden was propped up on his elbow, looking at me. I smiled at him gently as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. He chuckled and kissed my head. “You’re going to wear me out at this rate,” he joked. I kissed him tenderly. All I wanted to do was lay in bed with him all day- or what was left of it- but my stomach protested. Hayden chuckled and started to get up. I pulled him back down.

“Stay, please?” I asked. He smiled mischievously before he scooped me up. I squealed as he carried me to the kitchen. I slapped his hands away and laughed before he set me down at the bar. He went to the kitchen and started cooking. He was so cute standing there, cooking in his boxers. He had scratch marks running down his back from our rounds in his bed. I smiled at them. He was mine. I walked over and wrapped my arms around his waist as I rested my head against his back. He chuckled and turned to face me. His arms went around me too as he kissed my head.

“I love you,” he said softly. I smiled ad reached up on my tip-toes to kiss him.
