"So," Ruby whispers, "what’s the plan for the rest of the evening?"

I smile, possibilities playing out in my mind. "Maybe dinner on the porch? We can watch the sunset."

She nods, eyes gleaming. "I'd like that. But first, there's something I've been meaning to talk about."

A hint of curiosity tinges my mind. "Oh? What's that?"

Ruby steps back, hands still loosely linked with mine. Her expression turns thoughtful. "Just...thank you for coming back to us. I was worried you wouldn't, and I'd almost given up on it."

"Thank you for being patient with me." I steal one more kiss.

Ruby smiles against my lips. "I didn't want to. There were so many times I was beyond frustrated with you, but I'm glad I stuck it out."

"It would've been easy to let me go," I remind her.

"But I didn't, and that's why we're here now." Her bottom lip is working hard, and her eyes are moving across my body, enough to let me know she's interested in what we could do now that the kids are occupied. They're both in their rooms, and they won't be out for the rest of the night.

"C'mon, let's go have a good time." I wag my eyebrows at her. "We'll have to be quiet, but neither one of them really care about what either one of their parents are doing right now."

Ruby's eyes widen. "Alright…"

As soon as we come through the door, and lock it, our clothes are on the ground, and our bodies are connected as we embrace on the bed.

Picking up speed, I continue to plunge into her body, and then withdraw. Keeping a steady pace, I push up on my knees, grabbing her around the shoulders and pull her up so we face one another.

“Oh my God,” she sighs.

My sigh answers hers. I’m deeper in this position; it allows me to feel every part of her body, every grip of her pussy against me. “Don’t close those eyes,” I command, holding her face in my hands. “Let me see what I do to you, Red. Let me see it.”

Our gazes drill into one another, and it’s the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. I can see her pupils get darker, bigger as she continues thrusting against me. Letting go of her face, I move one hand behind her back, letting her recline partially as my other hand goes to her breast. My fingers, with that wedding ring, pluck at the taut nipple, and that’s all it takes for her to grind against me, moving her hips in a circle. As I thrust and thrust harder, each time letting her pull me deeper, she’s smashing her clit against my body. As hard as she came before, I think we’re both about to come even harder.

“Feel good?” I twist her nipple harder, grinning as she groans, trying to close her eyes against the sensation. “Keep those beautiful eyes open, baby.”

“You know it does,” her voice is strangled again.

“Feels good for me, too. You wanna come, Red?”

“Fuck yes,” the words are ripped from her body. There’s always something so hot about hearing her say fuck. The image she presents is so buttoned up. When I can pop one of those buttons, it makes me feel like the manliest man in the world.

Grabbing her hips, I piston into her without slowing, even as hers start to match mine. Sweat rolls down my body, sliding against hers as I push her back to the bed, and climb on top of her again. I stop thinking about everything and let my mind completely blank out to concentrate on how good the act between us feels. I don’t expect it when my rhythm falters and the orgasm takes me by surprise. Not wanting her to be left behind, I stick my hand between us, flattening my thumb against Ruby’s clit as I continue to pound into her. That’s when I feel the rush of wetness against me, the loss of tension in her body, and the small moan she makes. As we stop pushing against one another, she fights for breath, and the buzzing in my head quietens to bearable levels.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

RUBY

"How's itfeel to be God's favorite?" Becca asks as we all sit around, talking about the vacation Caleb and I went on. I'm tempted to tell them about last night, but I don't want to hear them complain too much.

"Oh shut the fuck up," Karsyn snorts. "Your man is all over social media with his flat fuckin' abs."

I laugh, taking a drink of my Coke before reaching over and snagging a chip before dipping it in the salsa sitting on the table. "Karsyn, don't act like you aren't special. Your husband is pretty hot, too. I'd say we're all fuckin' lucky."

"Ain't that the truth," my mother-in-law says as she swoops in, taking the last empty seat. "I was just helping the Chief."

I raise my eyebrows at her, laughing. "He's cracking me the fuck up the way he keeps signing those Laurel Springs Community posts with Chief Harrison."

Shelby groans from across the table. "Karina, he might be your husband, and he may look damn good for his age, but I'm about ready to kick his ass."

Karina holds her hands up, grabbing an empty glass and pouring herself a margarita. "He enjoys pissin' you off, I'm just gonna say it. You're one of his favorites."
