“Nope. I’m too spectacular,” she responded, so pleased to hear him admit it, given how often he declared her boring in teasing. ‘By osmosis,’ he said. When he kept on speaking those corny, ridiculous words, she couldn’t help but smile. She even blushed a little, tucking her chin just a bit in something as close to bashfulness as Emma ever got. “Stop that,” she said gently and lovingly, in a way that showed how much she wanted him to never stop that. “You’re adorable and corny as hell.”
She grinned as she felt his heart accelerate, because that was totally the intention. “Bet you won’t,” she said, leaning and pressing her lips to his jaw.
