“Okay, we need to get back for real,” I say. “Not only have we been gone forever, but we both look like we’ve just had the most amazing sex. Twice.”

“We did,” he reminds me.

“I know. But we need to look like we didn’t. So, serious face, okay?”

I try to put on whatever a serious face is, but he just laughs at me. He does reach into the front to get my clothes and helps me dress. I don’t need help, and in fact, he mostly just gets in the way, but it’s cute, and I love that he tries.

After I’m dressed, I crawl back into the front seat. He slaps my ass as I do and I nearly turn around and go right back where we started. But I don’t. I behave, although I really would much prefer to spend my entire New Year’s Eve exactly like this.

I toss his clothes into the back and watch him dress. He’s amazing. His chest, his hands, his hips, everything about him. But most of all, his eyes. I love looking into his eyes, because he’s always on alert with me. It’s something I’ve noticed around him. When we’re just hanging out, there’s a natural sadness, although it’s almost a numb sadness, that glazes over his eyes. Yet every time we make eye contact, they blaze to life, as if he’s breathing after being underwater for ages.

“What?” he asks. His pants are still around his knees, because he can’t seem to pull them on without getting out of the car.

“I was just thinking about how sexy you are.”

“No,” he says. “Serious face.”

His serious face is adorable. I didn’t think there was any way Jack could be adorable, but the face he makes… it’s like a little kid mimicking an adult, but it just looks absurd. And so cute I want to kiss him.

“Stop it. Even your serious face makes me want to kiss you.”

“Kissing is okay. But you stay there,” he says.

He leans through the seats and takes my face in his hands, bringing his lips to mine. The kiss is sweet. After the steamy, sweaty, intense sex we just had, it’s amazing that he can kiss me with such purity. He doesn’t even use his tongue. He just lets his lips open slightly, taking my bottom lip between his, and he flutters against my mouth. It’s the most sensual thing he’s done – and it’s completely innocent. I don’t know if I’ve truly felt how much he loves me until this kiss. It’s trusting, and he’s asking me to take control of it.

I sigh into the kiss and his hands brush up my cheeks and through my hair. My thoughts earlier, about Derek, about worrying if I would feel the same in a year, they seem foolish right now. How could I ever feel anything but this? How could there ever be anything but this?

“We need to go back,” I say, regretting the words, but ready. We had a slow introduction, but dinner’s going to be happening soon, and then Jack will be immersed completely in my life.
