wanting to disappoint him.
"You already are a gift to me, everyday I get to
wake up by your side and see your beautiful face is all I could ask
for in life." Tristan whispered sweetly, taking a step towards me
to close the distance. I managed to my force an 'aww' from my lips.
How much sweeter can this guy get? "If you're not my gift, then
what is?"
Turning around to show Tristan my back, I stood
dangerously still as I heard an audible intake of breath from him
as he took in my gift to him. I was afraid to turn around to see
his expression in case it was one of disappointment or anger.
Next thing I knew I felt the tingly sensations
of his soft fingertips trailing over my entire back right shoulder
blade area. I let out a surprised gasp, because following the
feeling of Tristan's fingertips was the warmth of his moist lips as
he placed kisses along the tattoo that sat on my back.
"Tristan's Luna..." Tristan's warm breath washed
over my shoulder as he continued his trail of hot kisses up to my
neck area, where he stopped and uttered into my ear. "I love it
baby, thank you." Tristan's arms snaked around my waist pulling my
back flush against his front.
I closed my eyes and cherished the feeling of
him pressed up against me as he placed his chin on my shoulder and
peppered soft kisses along my neck causing me to shiver. A huge
weight was lifted off my shoulders as I let out a sigh of relief.
He loves the gift. Two hours of pain I endured sitting in the
tattoo shop, but his reaction was well worth every second. I got
Tristan's Luna tattooed on my right shoulder blade, surrounded by
intricate tribal designs. Just my way of showing Tristan, I
belonged to him.
Tristan turned me in his arms, grabbing a hold
of the back of my neck he tilted my head upward to face him. A look
of pure lust was evident in Tristan's eyes as they flashed quickly
from silver back to gray.
Tilting his head lower to come to my level,
Tristan never broke eye contact with me. Neither did I, it was
almost as though we were entranced, our bodies drawn one another.
Tristan closed the distance quickly, capturing my lips in a
passionate kiss.
He let out a tiny grunt "Mmm" which managed to
set me off. My hands latched around the back of his neck as I tried
desperately to pull him closer to me. Bending his knees slightly, I
felt as Tristan ran a fiery trail with his hands down my sides
until he reached the back of my thighs.
In one swift movement, Tristan picked me up
wrapping my legs around him. The gasp of it all caused me to open
my mouth, which allowed Tristan to deep the kiss. It felt like the
entire room was spinning, moving...that's how alive the kiss
between us was.
The soft feel of Tristan's mattress against my
back told me, what a dummy. We were moving, not the room but who
cares? "Now where were we this morning before we were rudely
interrupted?" Tristan asked biting down oh so sexily on his bottom
lip as he stared at me with a mischievous look.
The sounds of birds chirping woke me up the next
morning as I lay in bed. Sitting up, I instantly noticed I was
completely alone. What the hell, where is he? Tilting my head
sideways I tried to listen for the sounds of running water, which
would mean Tristan's in the shower, but I didn't hear anything at
all.
Feeling a little put out after such an
amazing night or shall I say morning with Tristan, I kind of had to
wonder did something happen that he had to get up and leave? 'Where are you?' I asked, pouting
that I didn't get to wake up in his arms.
'Good morning,
beautiful.' Tristan's voice instantly answered with a
chipper undertone to it. 'I'm sorry I had
to leave you alone, had a few errands to run and needed to help out
with a few last minute preparations for the ceremony. Didn't you
get my note?'
Note? What note I thought as I looked over to my
right and there in plain sight on the pillow next to me was a note
from Tristan and a single tiger
