Kara's voicecarries through our hotel room's door. She's laughing about something.
Willow too.
I shouldn't eavesdrop on my wife-to-be, but I can't help myself.
"Did Drew ever realize you were keeping it from him?" Willow asks.
Kara's voice is sure. "I told him that night he walked in on you and Tom. After he calmed down. He was pissed at first, but he gets it now. You're my friend. Anything you tell me is between you and me."
"Same goes for me," Willow says.
"Tom couldn't pry it out of you?"
"He'd try." Willow laughs. "He does have ways of making me talk. But I can resist."
"You can resist that piercing?"
"Definitely… maybe…"
"Sounds like a no."
"I'll find the resolve."
I slide my keycard into the door. It beeps as it unlocks. Even so, I knock. "I hope you two are decent."
Kara laughs as I open the door. "Really? No fantasies of your fiancee and another woman?"
I cock a brow. "I look like a stereotype to you?"
Kara gives me a long once-over. "No. You look like… like Tom."
"You defy stereotypes." Willow nods. Her eyes meet mine. They pleadus. Alone. Now.
Kara takes the hint. She leans in to hug Willow goodbye.
She gives me the same tight hug. "Take care of her. She's a sweet girl."
"You think I don't realize that?" I try to sound annoyed, but I can't sell it. I'm glad all our friends are protective of Willow. She needs that in her life.
"Everyone realizes it. But… I know it means a lot to Drew to see her happy. It means a lot to me too." She steps back with a smile. "I'm happy for both of you." She waves one last goodbye to Willow. "I'll let you guys sleep." She winks on her way out the door.
"Mmm. Good thinking." Willow shrugs her hoodie off her shoulders and tosses it on our couch. Our room has the exact same layout as Drew's.
I move towards her and wrap my arms around her.
She leans into my touch, purring as I pull her closer. "I had this thought of waiting until after the wedding, but it's not making sense right now." She looks up at me, her hazel eyes full of need and affection.
Fuck, I want to be inside her.
And not for the release.
Not even because I want to watch her come.
I do.
But it's more than that.
