As if there wasn’t an ounce of resistance left in her body, she rolled over, doing exactly as I ordered. I loved her ass in this position, the curve of her hips. And I was so fucking glad that I didn't have to wear a condom because I wanted to feel every ounce of her heat.

With one hand on her hip, I guided my cock to her entrance, pressing the swollen head and slowly sheathing myself inside of her. She moaned as I did, adjusting to my size, adjusting to the sheer pleasure we both felt at being this close together.

And when she adjusted, I drew back, burying myself in her again, loving the way her ass rippled as I slammed against it.

I gripped her flesh, hanging on to handfuls as I gave it to her over and over again until we were both nearing the edge.

“I'm close,” she gasped.

“Come with me,” I told her. “I want to feel this with you.”

Her back tightened underneath my hands, and I could feel the wave starting to come inside her.

I wanted to see her, so I fisted my hand in her hair, making her look back at me. She let out a strangled sound, and it tipped me over the edge. I spilled all I had inside of her and continued pumping until each of her waves faded.

When we finished, I carefully pulled out, spent. I reached for my T-shirt again, using it to wipe myself up and then cleaning her up as well. And then we lay on the bed, completely exhausted, facing each other. Her cheeks were flushed with her orgasm, her hair wild, but there was a soft smile on her lips.

“I didn't know punishments were supposed to feel so good,” she said in a teasing voice.

“Baby, everything with you feels good.”

She smiled over at me and reached for my hand. Her fingers easily slipped through mine. “I love having you here,” she said.

“Me too,” I whispered. I wished I could stay over, wished I could spend every second just getting to know her, but I wanted to respect her boundaries too, not take this too fast. So I said, “I can lie with you until you fall asleep.”

With a squeeze of her hand, she whispered, “I’d love that.”

I shifted in the bed until she had her back to me and curled my body around her curves, feeling like this was just one of many ways we fit perfectly together. I tucked my arm around her soft waist and brushed back her hair with my other hand, kissing the top of her head.

She let out a contented sigh, and it did something to my heart. Made it swell until I felt like I could burst.

I’d never felt like this before, so complete, just lying next to another person. And as Larkin’s breathing slowed and she drifted to sleep in my arms, I prayed like hell that I’d be the last person she ever went to bed with.

LARKIN

When I wokeup in the morning, Knox was out of my bed but in my phone inbox.

Knox: Do you know how hard it was to leave your bed last night? I missed you the second I walked away.

My heart fluttered at the text, and I shifted my covers up to my chin. I always left the windows open at night to let in the cooler air. I loved this time of the morning. When the kids were still sleeping and the house was quiet. It felt like I had the whole world to myself. And now, I could share it with Knox.

My fingers tapped over the screen as I sent him a response.

Larkin: Think you can handle it another night? ;)

I bit my bottom lip, smiling like a lovestruck fool at my phone as the three dots appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Knox: Wouldn’t miss it for anything.

So Knox and I continued our routine throughout the next several weeks. We both went to work, the kids had a great time staying at Liv’s house, from going swimming to playing in the backyard. Every day Emily had something fun to tell me about her time with the Madigans. And then at night, he came over and showed me every way he could make me come. Once we finished, I’d fall asleep in his arms, and he’d leave the house before the children could find him in my bed in the morning.

I’d complain about the loss of sleep, but I’d never slept better than I had lying in Knox’s arms. It was like we were in our own little bubble. Everyone in town knew we were seeing each other, thanks to the Dallas Diamonds game, but that was as far as it went.

Until Knox asked me to go on a date, just the two of us, on Friday night. I told him yes, if I could find a sitter, but of course he told me Tyler and Henrietta were already excited to watch the kids at their place. And some of the seniors who lived at their schoolhouse-turned-apartment building were eager to see the children as well.

But on Friday night, I still didn’t know where we were going because, of course, Knox wanted it to be a surprise. So I put on a simple cotton dress and sandals while Knox watched the children in the living room.
