“Butwefeel the same.” I press a kiss against her soft lips. “I love you, Hotshot.”

“I love you, too, Owen.” She stares at me for a moment and I can see the emotion dancing in her eyes, then she kisses me with the gentleness of a fluttering set of dragonfly wings.

I wrap my arms around her and little Poppy, who is still in Jade’s arms, and squeeze them, then kiss the tip of Jade’s nose, then her cheek.

“I love both of you,” I whisper against the shell of Jade’s ear.

“Which makes me love you even more. The way you are with her melts my heart,” Jade admits. “You’re so caring and patient with her. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted.”

And they are everything I didn’t know was meant for me.

“Dada?” Poppy’s little voice chirps.

I lean out of our hug and kiss Poppy on the cheek. “Not yet. Patience, Poppadom. We’ve only just told each other we love one another.” Then I wink at Jade, and she smiles happily.

“How many nicknames do you have for her?”

I pull Poppy out of Jade’s arms and thread my fingers into Jade’s. “I have at least another dozen.” I walk us to the bottom of the stairs. “Now, Mommy, you go take a shower and put on something pretty.” I lean down and whisper in Jade’s ear. “Minus the panties.” She shivers when my lips brush over that happy spot behind her ear and she lets out a little moan. “Easy.” I use that commanding tone she loves so much and squeeze her hand. “I will make us a lovely dinner this evening, then we are going to watchGlow Babies.” I focus my attention back on Poppy. “Because it was just getting to the good bit where Sunlight was going to rescue Flash from the grumpy Cloud King.”

Poppy claps excitedly in response.

“You’re so odd.” Jade shakes her head.

“And clever.Glow Babiesmakes her sleepy.” I’m certain the animators on that show are on drugs; it’s fucking mesmerizing. “And I have plans for us tonight.” I drop my voice and I swear Jade glows.

“Yeah?” Her eyes flash with a carnal, ravenous look.

“Yeah. It’s Mommy and Da—” I correct myself. “I mean, Mommy and Owen time.”

She licks her lips. “I’ll call you Daddy later.”

Her words make me groan, my cock twitching against the fabric of my shorts. “Not appropriate while I’m holding the poopinator.”

She mouths a “Sorry”. “I’ll go jump in the shower.” She skips up the stairs giddily.

And my heart skips on its own accord, too.

She loves me.

JADE

“O… O… O…” I’m on the verge of a mind-blowing orgasm when Owen stops flicking my clit. It’s the fourth time he’s edged me like this, leaving me breathless and panting with need.

“It’s Owen, Hotshot. My name is O-wen. Say my name.”

“Owen,” I groan loudly, twisting the bedding into my fists in frustration. “Please let me come,” I plead.

“No,” he almost snarls, making my pussy clench. I love how he takes control in the bedroom. He’s now a stark contrast to the first time we had fun by the pool. I’m convinced his request to the gods to make him a better lover for me was granted.

Although I swear all he needed was to find me to make himwantto unleash the beast within him in the bedroom.

Grabbing my hips, he flips us both over. His back is now on the mattress, my legs straddled on either side of him. Having spent weeks in the sunshine, he’s so bronzed now, making his corded muscles more pronounced.

“Now sit on my face,” he demands.

I blink. I’ve never done that before. “What?”
