Josh's eyes fell upon the red one monogrammed with a gold "J." His face beamed with a huge grin. "That's for me?"
"You're part of the family."
He snuggled me closer to him and rested his cheek against the top of my head. "It's funny how people I've known a year and a half feel more like family than the people I'm actually related to."
I tilted my neck to look up at him. "Em and Sergei care so much about you, and you know the twins freaking adore you."
"What about you?" He tapped the tip of my nose. "How do you feel about me?"
I shrugged. "You're alright, I guess."
"Alright?" He tickled my side.
I yelped. "I think you need to remind me of my true feelings."
"Is that so? Well, let's see if this helps."
His fingers curled behind my neck and into my hair, raising goose bumps down my spine. He leaned slowly into me, his eyes on mine, and he brushed my lips with a kiss.
"Mmmm… it's starting to come back to me," I said.
He lowered his mouth to the curve of my neck, and his hot breath on my skin made me tingle everywhere. I grabbed his tie and clenched it as he kissed his way north to my ear.
"You still think I'm just alright?" he asked huskily.
I shivered and shook my head. His mouth met mine once again, and my heart cried out with all the feelings I had for him. They were so many and so powerful I could never put them into words.
We separated for a momentary breath, and I pressed Josh's hand to my chest. "Do you feel this? This is what I think of you… what I feel for you. Every crazy fast beat of my heart… all for you."
