Her eyes widen, a mixture of surprise and joy sparking to life as she takes a step closer. “Really? You mean it?”
“Of course, I mean it,” I reaffirm, stepping forward and closing the distance between us. “You're amazing at what you do, and I support you no matter what. I want you to go for it.”
I watch as she processes my words, the tension from before easing, and I can see the way her shoulders relax. “I don’t want to lose you over a job,” she trails off, the discomfort of our earlier conversation evident.
“Leni,” I say, my tone firm but gentle, “I love you more than anything in this world. You deserve to chase your dreams, even if that includes working with those hockey players or whoever else. I won’t ever hold you back.”
Her smile blossoms, lighting up her face and melting the remnants of my doubts. “You really mean that?”
“Absolutely,” I insist, reaching out to cup her cheek with one hand, running my thumb along her jawline. There’s a warmth spreading through me, an overwhelming sense of relief and affection. “I want you to take that job and kick ass with it. If some jock gives you trouble, he’s going to have to answer to me. But I know you can handle yourself.”
A giggle escapes her, bright and light, and I notice the way her eyes sparkle with warmth and love. “Don’t worry, I can do the ass-kicking myself if someone wants to be difficult.”
“I already know that,” I concede, keeping my tone playful but letting the sincerity slip through.
“I love you, too,” she finally says, locking her gaze with mine. The sincerity in her voice sends a rush of warmth through me that has nothing to do with lust and everything to do with that emotional tether holding us together.
“So, we’re good?” I ask, diving deeper into those eyes that have been driving me up the wall since the day I met her. As long as I have her, I can deal with anything the universe throws my way.
“We’re more than good,” she replies, her voice soft yet sure. “We’re perfect.”
That simple declaration sends a rush of warmth through me, deeper than anything I’ve felt before. I’m ready for this adventure with her, ready to dive into the chaos, to embrace everything that comes with loving Leni.
“Perfect it is, then.” I plant a firm kiss on her lips, savoring the sweetness and solidifying the moment in my heart, knowing that no matter what challenges lie ahead, we’re in this together, and I won’t let anything tear us apart.
Valentine's Day is finally here, and I can hardly contain my excitement as Nash and I pull up to the dazzling entrance of the fancy Las Vegas hotel. The bright lights twinkle like stars against the night sky, an electric atmosphere buzzing around us. My heart races at the thought of our weekend escape. This isn’t just any ordinary trip; it’s a celebration of us, and all I can hope is that the weekend lives up to the wild promise of the city.
Nash jumps out of the car, swinging open the door for me like the charming gentleman he is. I slide out, feeling the rush of cool night air kiss my skin and send a thrill through me.
We glide through the grand lobby, the ambiance luxurious, with marble floors and shimmering chandeliers overhead. The energy pulses around us, and it feels surreal to be sharing this moment with him.
At the check-in desk, I can see him charm the receptionist with that confident grin of his while I lean against the counter, trying to keep my breath steady.
The way he moves through this space, commanding attention without even trying, makes something swell in my chest. This man is mine all mine.
After a few brief moments, we have our key, and Nash leads me toward the elevators. The ride up to the top floor flashes by. The anticipation crackles in the air, palpable as he swipes the key card in front of the suite door. I’m practically vibrating with excitement as he opens the door to reveal the interior.
When we step inside, my breath hitches. The modern suite sprawls out before us with luxurious furnishings. I walk over and look out the huge window facing the shimmering city skyline. “Holy shit, Nash,” I breathe, taking it all in. “This is incredible!”
“I’m glad you like it,” he says, his gaze firm on mine, the warmth radiating from his presence washing over me like sunlight. It’s an intoxicating feeling, and the way he looks at me makes my insides twist with something powerful and exhilarating. “Let’s check out the balcony.”
With curiosity bubbling up inside me, I follow him as he strides over to the sliding glass door. He pulls it open, and before me stretches a terrace overlooking all of Vegas. The night air rushes in, filling my lungs with the intoxicating mix of excitement and adventure. I step outside, and the view takes my breath away. As far as you can see, the city lights sparkle beneath the vast, starry sky like a canvas of dreams.
