Jamie

“Jamie?”Dani’s soft voice whispered in her ear as her eyes resisted opening to the bright morning light.

Leaning closer, Dani’s sweet smell filled Jamie’s nose, “Baby… I have a present for you.”

Before she opened her eyes, a smile lifted the corners of Jamie’s mouth. Waking up next to Dani every day felt like living in a fantasy. Sometimes, when Jamie saw her fiancée’s soft cheeks and beautiful, voluminous hair, she still wanted to pinch herself.

“So I’ve been thinking about the bridal bouquet,” Dani began as soon as Jamie’s lids lifted.

Groaning, Jamie turned over and buried her face in the lush pillows. With a muffled laugh, Jamie pleaded, “Dani, baby, please. Too early for wedding planning.”

Dani tapped her naked shoulder, “But I brought you something.”

Lifting her head just enough to look at the steaming mug in Dani’s hands, Jamie raised her eyebrows. Dani always knew how to ease Jamie into the morning with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.

“You’re sweet,” Jamie said as she sat up in the bed, wrapping the white top sheet over her chest as she took the mug in her hand. It was a welcome warmth on her chilly hands as the December air moved through their house.

Dani sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed as her partner took a few sips.

“Did you turn the heat off again?” Jamie shivered as she took her first sip.

“Look, you may have gotten spoiled in the big city. But in the country, we take winter as it comes,” Dani said with a grin.

After a moment of Jamie’s soft sips, Dani began to shake her leg with excitement.

Jamie tried to enjoy the silence and pretend that the movement wasn’t sloshing her coffee, but after a moment, she relented, “Alright, what’s on your mind?”

Like a kid on Christmas, Dani’s face lit up as she started, “The bouquet has been such a hassle, right? Like, do we go bright and unseasonably bold to keep it fresh? Or do we go classic, simple and keep the winter wedding vibes?”

“Right,” Jamie followed along, drinking more of the caffeine elixir. It had been Dani’s idea to have a winter wedding, not wanting to wait until the spring to tie the knot. But Jamie couldn’t understand why Dani would want to pack all the stress of wedding planning into some of the busiest, coldest months of the year when they could take their time planning something warmer.

“Well, I think we should do classic with a few bold touches!” Dani said like she had just discovered a new planet.

Jamie giggled; Dani sure was adorable when she was excited. Jamie set her cup on the midcentury modern nightstand and pulled Dani into her lap by the waist.

“Ah!” Dani squealed as she landed on top of Jamie, “Ms. Lawson, we have plans!”

Shaking her head, Jamie groaned, “My only plans are to stay in bed with you all day while the snow falls.”

She brought her hands to Dani’s neck and gently pulled her face closer. Pressing her lips to Dani’s, Jamie could taste the coffee Dani had already had. It would be hard to catch up to her at this rate. Once Dani had had her first coffee, she was quick to the second.

Dani teased Jamie’s lips with her tongue, sending a moan to Jamie’s throat.

“Baby…” Jamie grumbled.

“M-hmm,” Dani moaned as she moved her lips down toward Jamie’s neck, delicately letting her mouth suck on the soft skin.

Jamie laughed, “Don’t be rude, you’re the one that wants to get up.”

With a giggle, Dani sat up and let her ass fall onto Jamie’s pelvis, sending a wave of excitement directly to Jamie’s center.

“Just consider it an advance,” Dani said with a wink as she got off of Jay’s lap.

Jamie sat back up and rubbed her eyes, trying to wipe the dirty thoughts from her mind. Dani stood from the bed and headed to the window to look out at the snow.

As she scanned the room, Jamie’s eyes landed on Diesel, who was happily perched at the end of the bed. He was completely passed out, which likely meant that Dani had already taken him out for the morning… or he was being his usual couch potato-self.
