He went down the hall first and into his room. I hit the head before I went down to mine and Jess’s.

I couldn’t resist. I looked in on Tater on the way. He was sprawled out on his sleeping bag on the floor and I sighed but didn’t wake him up. If it made him feel safer to crash on the floor rather than up higher in his bed after what happened, who the fuck was I to say different? In fact, I was thinkin’ it might be time for a futon or something.

I shut his door, stopped in front of mine, hung my head and took pause. God, I loved them both so fucking much.

Tate was my kid, as far as I was concerned and I needed to figure out a way to help him. I felt like shit that either him or his mom was having trouble comfortably sleeping in their own home.

All I knew, for better or for worse, I was in it to win it and would protect them to my dying fucking breath.

I was glad the vote had gone down the way it had tonight. Proactive sounded so much fucking better than reactive. I also knew once it started that these yahoos would go underground and taking them out to the point that they wouldn’t even dream of coming at us again would become infinitely harder from there on out.

When I went into the bedroom, it was to find Jess sound asleep. The tees she wore to bed these days fit her way better than the ones she’d used when I met her. That’s because she tended to stealmytees anymore.

The bedside lamp was on, and glowing on the latest book we were reading together. It was another Timber title, but I don’t know – nothing seemed to hit the sweet spot like Hettie and Cain did from that first book.

I got undressed quietly, and got into bed behind my woman, reaching up to switch out the light. When the light clicked off and I went to settle in is when she stirred.

“Mm?” she made a sleepy query, and the noise was adorable.

“Just me, baby. Go back to sleep,” I whispered.

“Mm!” She didn’t like that answer, and turned around so she could put her arm around my neck and nestle close. She wriggled and fidgeted until she could kiss me, and I chuckled into her mouth.

“You miss me?” I asked once I’d kissed her breathlessly.

“What do you think?” she asked, her voice sultry in the dark as she plunged my hand into her panties with her and I felt around her until I could dip a finger inside her.

I sucked in a sharp breath when I found her wet, hot and wanting under my touch and she lifted her leg over my hip, turning my mouth to hers once more.

Fuck.

I loved it when she did this kind of shit. It made me instantly hard.

“Mm!” she cried out into my mouth as I rolled her onto her back and pressed my cock against her damp panties, rolling my hips and rubbing myself against her.

Her breathing became a near-silent impassioned plea, and she didn’t have to beg. I was all for giving her everything she wanted and more.

I rose on my knees and hooked my fingers in the waistband of her panties, stripping them from her in one smooth movement. She raised her hips and kicked the offending garment off the side of the bed to the floor.

I didn’t even break my proverbial stride, grabbing hold of my cock and lining it up with her entrance, shoving my way in probably just a little sooner than was good, but she didn’t complain aside from a sharp intake of breath and to wriggle her hips provocatively, her hands grabbing for me to pull me in tighter to her body.

I leaned way over her, bracketing her head with my arms and drove into her deep.

She let out a throaty gasping noise that I swore was rich and decadent like a robe of chocolate for my sense of hearing.

“Like that?” I asked her.

“Mm, yeah,” she breathed and she wrapped her legs around my hips and her arms around my back and my shoulders.

“Mm,” I groaned in satisfaction next to her ear as I smoothed her hair away from the side of her neck so that I could attack it with my lips and teeth with kisses and light nibbles.

She made a happy girl noise that told me just how much she liked that, and I smiled and worked my hips back and forth.

That gave me the happiest of happy girl noises and my heart not only soared, it did a fucking impressive ass barrel roll and climbed even higher.

I kept at it with that movement, even if it did get my lower back to tightening up and made the tops of my thighs fucking scream.

I wasn’t about to give up until she came around my cock, and yeah, I knew it was a longshot, that I didn’t always make her come like this and usually I needed to tease her clit to get her there, but sometimes, just every once in a damn while, this sets her off and when it did, Goddamnwas it good.
