Hardin's POV:

I really do have the perfect day planned for Tessa. I have recently been realizing how I am unable to give her the attention she deserves. My work takes all my time but not anymore. I have to keep this woman happy like she makes me.

She is in the room getting ready right now, while I am making dinner reservations at fancy restaurant, that also turns out to be her favorite.

"Sorry sir, table for two is unavailable tonight. Everything is booked" the person responds.

"Can you check again? A table for two under the name Hardin Scott" I hate to use my name but if that's how it's gonna work, I don't give a shit.

"Hardin Scott? Oh of course sir, the table will be ready at 6" he says.

"Very well" I hang up and sit back relaxed, now that all has been prepared.

I have changed into some decent clothes, put on some cologne and now I am just waiting for my beautiful wife to come out of the room.

My phone buzzes again and I silently pray it's no one important from work. It's not, thank god it's just Landon.

"Hello" I answer.

"Hardin where are you?" I'm hearing his voice after so long and it somehow makes me happy.

"I'm there where I always am. How have you been?"

"Oh don't ask. Nora and I are having so much fun here in Hawaii!"

"What? Hawaii? How the fuck did you end up there?" I seriously got to start taking interest in family matters.

"Asshole. We've been here for three days now. I had talked about it to Tessa but I guess you were too busy again"

"Uh-huh. So what is up with your wife? Has she gone mad with you yet?"

"No, not yet" he laughs.

I was about to talk more with him but my eyes fall on Tessa coming out of the room in her not-so-mini white dress with off shoulder puffy sleeves, with laces holding the front and back together from the side. Her hair is straightened and mid parted left open. She has a black clutch in her hand and thin white heels that make her look tall.

"I-" I clear my throat. "I'm gonna ring you back Landon" I hang up and throw my phone aside.

"Tess-" The temperature is rising I guess because suddenly I feel hot and sweaty.

"Is this fancy enough? Because it's sure as hell not comfortab-" I cut her off by pushing my tongue down her throat. She is caught off guard but she plays along and swiftly moves her tongue along with mine. I move my hand to her back, the dress's fabric feels odd against my palm but I grip her tighter. She moans in between and her voice was enough to do the work. Even after years, she holds such affection with me and I cannot be happier.

"I love you" I pull back and cup her face. She smiles and gently places a kiss on my lips.

"Do we have to leave now? Or we've got a little time?" she bites her bottom lip and a shiver runs down my spine.

"We've got all the time in the world" I start unbuttoning my shirt but she stops me.

"I was talking about laundry" she tells me, buttoning the shirt back.

"Fuck Tessa!" I whine and she laughs.

"Don't worry, you said we have the whole day right?" she says seductively, it's so hard to resist this woman.
