I throw myself at him, making him catch me with a grunt. Wrapping my arms around him, I kiss him like my life depends on it. He groans against my mouth, kissing me with just as much fervor.
“I take it that you like your gift?” He chuckles breathlessly.
“I love it. And I love you. Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me, baby. I’m excited to see the world with you. Even if it’s one place at a time.”
“And all I got you was a bracelet,” I mutter.
“You did?” His face lights up. “Give me.”
He places me on my feet. “I don’t want to.”
“Blake. Give me.” He laughs.
“Fine,” I huff, going over to the Christmas tree and grabbing the box. “Here.”
He takes the box and opens it. “Holy shit, this is amazing.” He looks the leather bracelet over. “Where did you get this, the craftsmanship is amazing?”
My cheeks grow hot as I tell him, “I, ah, made it.”
He gapes at me. “No way.”
I nod.
“You made this?”
I nod again.
“Holy fuck, baby, it’s amazing.” He puts it on and grins so damn big I feel my heart stop. “I fucking love it. And I fucking love you.”
He pushes me up against the wall and kisses me until my head spins.
“Can’t you two keep your tongues out of each other's mouth for five minutes?” Nina’s voice has us breaking apart.
“Sorry,” I mutter.
“I’m not,” Cooper chuckles.
“Mom wants you,” Nina says, grinning wide. “Also, you two are so cute it makes me wanna puke.”
“Puke away, sister.” I glare at her as we walk past.
“Oh, would you look at what we have here?” You can hear the playful smile in Cooper’s tone.
“Huh?” I ask and look up, seeing the mistletoe hanging in the entryway from the living room to the kitchen.
“You know the rules.” Cooper pulls me in for another kiss, but this one is softer. Still makes my toes curl and my heart race though.
“Oh come on! That wasn’t even thirty second,” Nina laughs.
“Huh,” Cooper pauses.
“What?” I ask, looking past him.
“You know, your mom and my dad have been getting along well.” Cooper grins down at me. “Haven’t seen him smile so much. Wouldn’t it be funny if they got together?”
“Why would you say that?” I look at him in horror.
