“Do you want to go up and I’ll join you shortly?” Sydney nodded. “Are you all right, love?” he asked, and stroked her cheek. “We can wait.” “I don’t want to wait, Thane.” She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s just a little overwhelming.” “I know.” He squeezed her hand. “I’ll see you in a little bit.” Sydney walked up to their room and found the lingerie she’d packed for their special night. After changing, she stepped into the bathroom to brush out her hair and clean her teeth. She heard the bedroom door click shut and walked out of the bathroom to find Thane pulling off his shirt. Sydney leaned against the doorframe and watched him. He caught sight of her and his eyes swept her body. “Shite, love.” She giggled. “Do you approve?” “Aye. You’re stunning.” “So are you.” She moved further into the room. “Now what?” Thane smiled. “First, I’m going to kiss you, because I have to.” She snapped her fingers. “Well, hustle on over here, then.”
