“Alright, princess,” he said, crouching down in front of her before she could protest. “Up you go.”
“Keegan—” she started, indignant.
He didn’t let her finish. He scooped her onto his back with a grin, her legs wrapping around his waist, her arms clinging to his shoulders.
“You carried us all with your love last night,” he teased. “Least we can do is carry you around today.”
Kendrick, of course, made it worse. He appeared with a gelato cone, vanilla and pistachio swirled together, holding it up to her lips while she clung to Keegan.
“Open,” he instructed.
She rolled her eyes, but she obeyed, taking a bite and humming with pleasure.
And I… I think my heart exploded a little more. Well, not just my heart.
Watching her lick gelato off Kendrick’s spoon while riding Keegan’s back… Jesus
