Chapter 143 After Surprise
Dante's POV
I had never shared a kiss like this, never had a moment where I didn't want anything else at all.
The kiss deepened without either of us pulling away.
Her lips melted into mine, warm and soft, tasting like that familiar taste I long for all day.
I slid my hands down her back, pulling her closer till her body pressed against mine and there was barely any space between us.
She made a small sound against my lips again and wrapped her legs around my waist tighter, locking her ankles behind me.
The water moved around us gently with warm waves lapping against our skin.
I slowly lifted her hip and positioned myself at her entrance. I kept my eyes on her for a few seconds, like I was seeking her permission before I slowly brought her down on me.
She moaned softly as she rocked me gently. Every touch felt like something we had both been waiting for without saying it.
Her fingers threaded into my hair as she kissed me deeper and I shot up into her.
My hands held her hips steady the whole time as the hot tub kept bubbling around us.
The kiss grew hotter suddenly as our tongues tangled and our breaths mixed.
Her legs tightened around my waist and I felt every inch of her against my hardness. I moved against the way her body moved with the water.
My hands explored her back, her sides, the curve where her waist met her hips as she shivered even in the heat.
She broke the kiss just long enough to whisper my name. “Dante…”
I answered by kissing her again, harder this time as she rocked against me slowly.
The water helped us move together, smooth and natural. No rush, no pressure.
Just the two of us finding a rhythm that felt right. Her head tilted back as I pulled away from her lips and kissed her neck.
Her fingers dug into my shoulders and I held her closer with an arm around her back, and the other supporting her weight so she could move however she wanted.
We stayed like that for a long time, kissing, touching, and moving together in the warm water.
Every sound she made, every breath she took, every small shift of her hips sent heat through me that had nothing to do with the tub.
She held onto me like she never wanted to let go and I held her the same way.
When we finally slowed down, she rested her forehead against mine with both of us breathing hard.
Her legs were still wrapped around me and my hands stayed on her back, my thumb stroke slow circles over her back.
She smiled against my lips. “That was… wow,” she exclaimed.
I kissed her once more, soft and slow. “Yeah,” I replied.
We didn’t move for a while after that, just stayed close with the water lapping gently around us and our bodies still connected.
Her fingers traced lazy lines on my shoulders and I kept one hand on her lower back, holding her there.
Eventually, she lifted her head and looked at me with soft and slightly shy eyes. “I didn’t expect today to go like this,” she muttered.
I brushed wet hair off her cheek as I responded. “Neither did I. But I’m not complaining.”
She laughed quietly and rested her head on my shoulder again as I held her tighter.
After a few more minutes, my body grew tired of the water and I reached up, kissing the top of her head.
“We should get out before we turn into raisins,” I joked.
She nodded but didn’t move right away.
And when she finally did, she climbed off me slowly, legs sliding against mine one last time.
That's when I realized I was still inside her, guess it was never about the sex.
We stepped out together and I handed over a fresh towel to her. She wrapped it around herself with her cheeks still flushed.
Our gym clothes were still sweaty on the bench, so I opened the small closet and pulled out the spare set I kept there.
A pair of joggers and a long-sleeve shirt for me, and another set that was way too big for her.
“Here,” I said, handing them over to her. “Better than putting the sweaty stuff back on.”
She held them up and laughed. “These are huge on me,” she remarked.
I smirked. “You’ll live. Looks cute though,” I said and looked away immediately.
But caught her rolling her eyes before I did, then she pulled them on anyway.
The shirt hung almost to her knees and the joggers layered at her ankles. She looked small, soft and particularly funny in my clothes.
I couldn’t help the grin that spread across my face.
Serena's POV
I looked down at myself and couldn’t stop laughing. Dante’s shirt swallowed me whole.
The sleeves went past my hands and the hem almost reached my knees.
The joggers were even worse, I had to roll the waist three times and the legs still dragged on the floor. I looked like a kid playing dress-up in her dad’s clothes.
“You’re enjoying yourself, aren't you?” I told him, tugging at the hem as I chuckled too.
He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and grinning. “You look good. Like really good.”
I swatted his arm playfully. “Liar. I look ridiculous.”
He stepped closer and fixed the collar of the shirt so it didn’t slide off my shoulder.
His fingers brushed my skin for a second and I felt that warm spark again. “You look like mine,” he said quietly.
And my face heated up. I didn’t know what to say to that, so I just smiled and let him take my hand.
We packed up our sweaty gym clothes, signed out at the front desk, and walked out into the cool evening air.
The sky was already dark purple as the city lights were starting to come on.
As we reached the car, Dante stopped and looked at me with that small, playful smile again.
“I have a surprise for you today,” he said.
