.After the intensity of the night before, Jenna was filled with joy at their easy domesticity.Maybe they were just playing house, for now, but she felt confident she didn't want this wonderful game ever to end.She clumsily reached up a hand to stroke at the smooth muscles of his chest, letting her fingers slide down the rippling edges of his stomach."Morning, Doc.Are you having fun pawing at me?""Yes.I can't help it.I think I may be obsessed with your body," she mumbled, still groggy."That works, since I know I'm obsessed with yours.Though, it really interferes with finding the motivation to leave this bed."With a sigh, she reluctantly stopped groping him and sat up."Oh, that reminds me.I need to get my butt in gear.I have to be at Tea's house in a couple hours.""Is everything okay?" he asked, and the wrinkles in his brow looked so cute, that Jenna had to nuzzle his neck for a moment."It's all good, I promise.Every year we make a traditional Southern New Year’s dinner.Well, she cooks.I mostly try to keep her from dropping things while I watch the Rose Bowl.I'd probably poison everyone if I tried making actual food."Wyatt moved so he was sitting next to her and gently stroked the part of her leg that had escaped from under the sheet."You know, Doc, after you help me do my shoulder rehab exercises, I don't have any other plans today.One of the few benefits of not making it to the play-offs is getting some more free time.How about I come with you today? You can finally tell your friends about us."Jenna's heart squeezed at his question.The idea of opening their relationship to the world was thrilling, but also terrifying.His eyes hardened with her hesitance and she could tell he felt hurt.The realization made her feel terrible."I'm your dirty little secret.I get it."Jenna wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him quickly."It's not like that at all, Wyatt.I promise.""They're important to you…part of your family.You met my family.They know we're together.""And I love that they know about us.I can't wait to tell my friends about us, I swear.I just want to handle it perfectly.Tea has a lot going on right now.Plus, she's got a full house for the holidays, so it's extra crazy over there.I also feel bad now that I didn't say anything about us sooner.That means I have to handle the news carefully.""Why do these sound a lot like excuses, Doc?""They aren't! I mean it.I'm going to tell them today.I have a whole plan I've been working on.I was thinking I could call you after I tell her and you can come over then?""Yeah?"She nodded and he kissed her."That's a promise and I’m going to hold you to it, Doc," he murmured against her lips.Wyatt's strong hands snaked around her bare waist and she immediately considered canceling every appointment she ever had for the rest of her life.Wyatt broke the kiss and she leaned against his chest in comfortable silence.His voice finally broke through the calm."Are you going to tell them about your…you know…""My lumpectomy? Maybe.And you know you're allowed to say the word." He hugged her so forcefully to him she was worried he'd crack a rib."Wyatt, you're gonna squeeze the stuffing out of me.""Jenna, it’s okay to be emotional.You didn't tell anyone because you know it's a big deal.Let me worry about you.I'm good at worrying.Just ask Claudia.She'll tell you it's kind of my thing."Jenna reached her arms around his waist and kissed his neck."Fine.I'll let you worry about me.I’ll warn you, though, I might get used to it.""Good.That's my intention, Doc," he answered, with a kiss to the top of her head that made her sigh with contentment.Wyatt was dressed and trying to distract himself as he waited for Jenna to call him.His phone rang and he jumped for it.A stab of disappointment shot through him when he saw it was his agent.He'd just have to wait a little longer before Jenna was ready for him."Hey Gabe.Happy New Year.""Cut the bullshit, Wyatt.""What bullshit?" Gabe was clearly furious about something, but Wyatt didn’t have a clue as to what could have him so riled."I've put up with a lot of shit from you over the years, but this is beyond fucked up.I should fire you as a client right now.""Christ, Gabe, calm down [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
