“I…” she looked back up to his face. Now he had that smirk. The classic Bennett smirk that she always wanted to smack right off of him. Or kiss. Her face flushed when he mentioned the time, seeing the clock behind him. “Sorry. I know it’s late. I can go. I just…” Wren hated feeling this way. He was not someone she was supposed to feel for this much. “I couldn’t sleep.”

Wren’s breath got hitched in her throat as he opened the door. Her eyes raked over his practically bare body. Oh god, she remembers perfectly how good his body was. The way his muscles were a little chiseled. The way it looked hovered over her own body. Shaking her head of the dirty thoughts, she swallowed thickly. What was she doing there? She honestly didn’t know how to answer that. “Um, I just wanted to.. uh…” he made her so flustered, she couldn’t think of the right words. “You haven’t been by the bakery in a while. I wanted to see if you were alive.” It wasn’t exactly why she was here but it wasn’t a total lie. She had noticed his absence from the bakery lately.

Wren smiled as he mentioned his dog. “Duke really missed you. When I hung out with Street and Chris I always made sure to give him lots of attention. I’m sure he was really excited to see you again.” She had missed Luca, and not just because of the sex. Luca was her best friend. By the way he was talking she almost got the feeling he was done with that part of their situation. Maybe time apart made him realize they should just be friends and nothing more. “Okay, yeah. I’ll see you later.” She watched him walk away.

Germany had one hundred percent been a memorable experience and Luca had loved every second of it. Everything from the food and drinks to the culture, right down to the bars and restaurants, even the architecture and history. As much as he was there to work and do some training with the German equivalent of SWAT and some counter terrorism training, he was lucky to spend some time just enjoying what the country had to offer.

But he had missed Wren terribly and he had tried to call Wren and text her, spend hours on face time as much as he could given the time difference, so it was great to be back home. Instead of taking the day off and sleeping off the jet lag, Luca had turned in for his shift as soon as he got off the plane and he was happy to see everyone, especially Wren.

Luca instantly pulled Wren into his arms with a smile. "Hey, it's good to be back." He whispered to Wren. "I missed you."

She looked at him as he complimented her. “Thank you.” She blushed. And yet there was something about the way he said it that she didn’t like. Like he wasn’t claiming her, telling her he wanted to be the only one thinking she was sexy. “Uh, sure. We can hang out.” She replied as her mind still ran. “You’ll just text me later?”

Her heart fluttered as he told her it was true. Wren wasn’t sure what her reaction would be if he had told her that he had hooked up. Shaking her head, her cheeks blushed as he told her he was coming home to her. “I didn’t hook up with anyone, not that there were offers. No one finds me sexy.” She shrugged. Not that she cared. Her situation with Luca was plenty.

Wren just watched the globe in awe, watching the white glitter fall over it every time she shook it. Looking at him, her features softened at how hard he worked to get her the present. “Thank you. Seriously.” She put it on her desk where it’d be safe and she could look at it every day. Looking back at him, her stomach was back in knots. “I know I don’t really have a right to ask. But what you said to Deacon… was that true? Did you really not hook up with anyone over there?”

Wren nodded. She would have to remind Hicks later that Luca could crash any minute. She’d make sure he got off work before that happened so he could rest. Seeing the box on her desk, her stomach immediately had butterflies just at the fact he thought of her at all. Taking out the snow globe, she smiled. “A snow globe. Like the ones I told you my grandmother had when I was a little kid.” He actually remembered that? She thought her story about that was boring. “Luca, thank you. It’s beautiful. You didn’t have to get me anything.”

Wren let out a breath as she moved to knock on Bennett's door. She had only been here before once, and it was with a group of friends back in the day. Back when she couldn't stand the sight of him. Her friends always teased that they'd wind up together since they bickered like crazy. Wren remembers looking at her friends in disgust, scoffing at the very idea. Now Bennett clouded her mind. She looked up as the door opened. "Uh, hi. Sorry, I know I shouldn't just drop by like this."

Wren heard as she walked away him saying no. A smile appeared on her face. So he didn’t hook up with anyone. But was it because he only wanted Wren or had he just been too busy with training. They never established boundaries with this new found friends with benefits thing. She knew she couldn’t ask him to just never hook up with another girl if they weren’t together.

Looking up from her report, she saw Luca peak his head in. “Sure. Come on in.” She smiled politely. Why was he so hot. The backwards hat, the uniform. It took everything in her not to eye fuck him right there. “I’m surprised you’re back here already. Aren’t you jet lagged?”

Luca instantly pulled Wren into his arms with a smile. "Hey, it's good to be back." He whispered to Wren. "I missed you."

“I like being on top from time to time. You have a different sex face when I’m on top. It’s hot.” She smiled as he told his side of the story, her fingertips still running over his beard that she loved so much. “I actually did love you when you told me that first time. And I was about to say it back and I panicked. Scared that if I say it then it’s true and then I’d end up hurt. I hadn’t even realized I told you I needed time until the words came out of my mouth.” She looked into his eyes. “Is that why you liked having sex with me up against trees so much when we started hooking up again?”

"Oh? Is that how you remember that night? Was I really that good?" She teased back. Wren would gladly take the credit for making the baby, she knew that night she took the reigns a little. Her brows rose, curious of all the things he wanted to take advantage of. She kissed him back, her palm cupping the side of his jaw and petting over the beard. Pulling away for a second, she rested her forehead against his. "Do you remember the first time I told you I loved you?"

open: m/f/nb connection: anything you're feeling, friends with benefits, best friend, boyfriend, ex boyfriend plot: wren is professing her feelings to yours

"I like your body and your face and your hair and your skin, and I like how you're always warmer than me, and how you never sit still except when you're really trying to concentrate on what someone's saying, and I like how you always fix things without being asked, and I like how I know when you're about to text me from the other side of the room because you make this really specific face."

Anyone want to do some back and forth for the next hour?

@whispereddesire

hold her hand while you eat her out to remind her that she's a little princess

Wren looked at him and eyed him for a moment. "So basically you're saying you don't want me to try and get in your pants after we eat." She teased a little. "But in all seriousness, I do like hanging out with you. I think that's why last night had been so... easy. Because we have always had a good time just hanging out. The sex was bound to be amazing." Gio had started becoming such a good friend to her before they fell into bed. "Oh, it's very good. I'm going to have just enough energy after this."

"well, you never need to feel pressured to do that with me. just ignore that i get horny over literally everything. i also like just hanging out with you too, wren," he assured with a much sweeter smile as he took a few bites of his breakfast sandwich and washed it down with his latte. he let out a sigh of contentment as he looked over at her, unable to not gaze at her, as he found her so beautiful. "how is yours? is it strong like i predicted?"

"Yeah, except you're going to make fun of me when I'm walking funny because I have your seed in me." She pointed out as she got into the van. She sat in the backseat, it almost felt a little weird since she was usually driving or in the passenger seat. Snorting at his pickup line, she shook her head. "Is that how you picked up all the ladies before you met me? No wonder you got hooked on me."

"I mean it's both? We get to break in the van but I get to ravage my wife before she drags me through the stores. Now that sounds like heaven." He grinned at his wife. "Our wild ride together love." He chuckled softly and then shook his head. "What? You think I'd let my wife get crumbs up her ass? Never, I am slightly more of a gentleman than that." He told her as he climbed in after his wife smirking as he closed the door. He sat next to her and wrapped his arm around her. "You come here often?" He flirted.

"Oh? Is that how you remember that night? Was I really that good?" She teased back. Wren would gladly take the credit for making the baby, she knew that night she took the reigns a little. Her brows rose, curious of all the things he wanted to take advantage of. She kissed him back, her palm cupping the side of his jaw and petting over the beard. Pulling away for a second, she rested her forehead against his. "Do you remember the first time I told you I loved you?"

"I'm sure it was that night, You rode me to obilivion obviously." He teased back but when she hummed for him. "Nope, we can take lots of advantage tonight, of each other, of this room of.... a lot of things." No Nolan was not turning Wren down, he set the sonogram to the side and then moved so he was facing Wren more as he pulled her as close as he could smoothing his hand over her body and kissing her again.

I convinced my husband we should order pizza so I can focus on replies for the next two hours that I'll be up.
