Stuck On You

Chapter 23: Honeymoon Ave

Hayden kissed my head gently and rubbed his hand down my back gently. “Are you okay?” he asked. I

smiled gently and kissed him. I was great, I was better than great, I was fantastic. I slid on top of him

and laid my arms on his chest.

“I’m great,” I smiled. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I didn’t hurt you or anything, did I?” he asked, slightly worried. I shook my head.

“Sore… but I’m fine… promise,” I said. He smiled lightly and ran his thumb along my cheek.

“You’re beautiful, you know that,” he said softly. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

“You’re just saying that because you finally got your way,” I joked. His smile fell.

“I mean it, Jo. I love you,” he said as his thumb ran along my cheek again. He reached up and kissed

me gently. My eyes fluttered close as he rolled us over so that he was hovering above me. The sheets

ran over my skin as they moved with us. He kissed me passionately. I was stirred. I pulled him closer to

me and he chuckled. “Round two,” he said jokingly. I, however, was not joking. I wrapped my legs

around his waist and attached my lips fiercely to his.

Hours later, we were lying next to each other again with our underwear back on. Hayden was propped

up on his elbow, looking at me. I smiled at him gently as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. He

chuckled and kissed my head. “You’re going to wear me out at this rate,” he joked. I kissed him

tenderly. All I wanted to do was lay in bed with him all day- or what was left of it- but my stomach

protested. Hayden chuckled and started to get up. I pulled him back down.

“Stay, please?” I asked. He smiled mischievously before he scooped me up. I squealed as he carried

me to the kitchen. I slapped his hands away and laughed before he set me down at the bar. He went to

the kitchen and started cooking. He was so cute standing there, cooking in his boxers. He had scratch

marks running down his back from our rounds in his bed. I smiled at them. He was mine. I walked over

and wrapped my arms around his waist as I rested my head against his back. He chuckled and turned

to face me. His arms went around me too as he kissed my head.

“I love you,” he said softly. I smiled ad reached up on my tip-toes to kiss him.

“I love you too,” I smiled. I guess you could say that we were in a honeymoon phase. I let go and he

turned back to whatever he was making, giving me a good view of the red scratch marks on his back. I

sat back down and just watched him. It was like watching a really good movie; you never wanted it to

end. His muscles rippled with every move he made. All too soon, he set down a plate in front of me. He

leaned over and kissed me deeply before he handed me a fork. I gladly took the fork and dung in. He

opened his mouth in anticipation and I gave him a bite too. He sighed in delight and closed his eyes.

“I’m a damn good cook,” he said. I laughed and rolled my eyes. It was true, but I wasn’t going to let him

know that. I smiled as I took another bite. He leaned over and kissed my cheek. “I’m going to go take a

shower, love,” he said. I smiled at him before I turned back to my food. Hayden made a lot. By the time

he came back, I was just finishing. I hopped off of the bar stool and stretched. I went to my room and

took a shower too.

The hot water felt amazing against my skin. I washed my hair and shaved my legs again, just in case. I

noticed faint bruises on my hips, stomach, and legs. They made me smile. It reminded me of Hayden. I

untangled my hair and put moisturizer on it after I got out of the shower. I put lotion on my whole body

before I put on a spaghetti strap sports bra and some Nike pro spandex shorts. I flipped the band on

the shorts down before I walked back out to the main room. Hayden was just finishing up his food. He

turned to me and kissed me gently. I took his hand and we walked into my bedroom.

“Round three?” he asked, excitedly curious. I laughed before I laid down.

“Oh no, I think I’m even more worn out than you are,” I said. “We’re just going to sleep,” I clarified. He

crawled over me and laid down on top of me. I laughed and pushed him off of me. He held me around

my waist. I hissed in a breath as his hand grazed the bruises on my stomach and hips. He pulled up

and looked at my stomach before he chuckled.

“Where did these come from?” he asked. I rolled my eyes as a sly smile started to spread across my

face. He got the hint. He smirked and flipped me onto my back before he lowered his face to my

stomach. He kissed one bruise after the other; making his way across my stomach and hips. I was

expecting to winch but I didn’t. It was actually really relaxing. I let out a breath and closed my eyes.

“You know, I wasn’t expecting my first, and second, time to be so… euphoric,” I said with a slight smile.

He laid his head down on the pillow next to me. I opened my eyes to see him smiling my favorite half

smile at me.

“Want to see how your third goes?” he asked, attaching his lips to my neck. I laughed before I pushed

his shoulders back gently.

“I’m exhausted, Hayden. And we have practice tomorrow. Plus, I’m already going to look like I got

tossed in a blender,” I said. He chuckled and pressed his forehead against mine as his arm went

around me loosely.

“You’re beautiful,” he said softly. I smiled and kissed him tenderly. And with that, round three

began.
