“Mmm, you too,” Jack whispered back softly, nuzzling her hair. He hugged her close as she snuggled against him, enjoying the warm, soft weight of her body.“M-my love. Wonderful, brave, sweet Katelynn. Y-you mean everything to me. You …” He trailed off, his thoughts sluggish in the warm haze of afterglow.
Oh, why was it so hard to say what he felt now? He wanted to kiss her, to show how much he loved her, but he could feel that his mouth was still slick with her juices. It didn’t bother him, but he didn’t know if she’d like it, so he licked his lips, trying to discreetly reach up and wipe his mustache and goatee.
