Flick tossed her on the bed, standing beside her, tugging his shirt over his head. She lay there watching him slip his boots off, then tug his jeans and underwear down. His hard cock pointed straight at her. She reached toward him.
“Uh-uh, take those clothes off first before any touching,” Flick directed.
She pulled her clothes off and then crawled across the bed toward where Flick was. She grasped his cock, running her hand down to the base and then back toward the tip.
Flick slid his hand to the base of her skull, grasping her hair.
“This isn’t something we’re trying out. If you let me inside you, it’s forever. I’ll be the only one having this pussy. Do you agree?” he asked.
Beth swayed toward him. His words splashed gasoline on the flames already running through her. He didn’t want a quick fuck; he wanted forever, which is exactly what she wanted.
“I agree because I realize I’ve fallen in love with my best friend,” she whispered close to his lips, continuing to slide her hand up and down his cock.
He pulled her hand away.
“I’m going to come if you keep that up. I don’t want that. When I come, I want to be deep inside the woman who has brought the sunshine into my life, who knows my moods, and who has become the woman I love and can’t live without,” Flick said, claiming her mouth.
Beth trembled and let Flick lead. His hands swept and touched each needy place, driving her passion higher. Each sigh he wrung from her had him smiling. She’d never imagined how special it would be with him.
“I can’t wait,” he said, pulling away to slip a condom on.
She appreciated him not assuming anything and protecting both of them. She was good with being the fun aunt, but not ready to be a mom.
He paused when he was notched at her entrance, his hand cupping her face. His eyes blazed with love.
“I can’t believe I finally get to love my best friend,” he groaned, slowly stretching her inch by inch. She wanted to remember each sensation as he made her his—forever.
Her hands grasped his shoulders, her nails digging in as he drove her higher. Each stroke brought her closer until she was screaming his name, and he quickly followed her over.
She wondered if it was too soon to tattooProperty of Bethon him. She shook a little as she smiled and giggled.
“What are you giggling about? If I didn’t know you’d come, you’d be giving me a complex,” Flick said, kissing her nose.
“I was thinking if it was too soon to tattooProperty of Bethon you. I didn’t like that skank touching you at the clubhouse a while back.”
He smiled. “Nope, not too soon. Am I horrible that I wish we could get this case solved so we could start our life in Bluff Creek together?”
“No, the case is wearing on all of us. And I’m ready for the next steps with you. I realize it might seem sudden to others, but we’ve been friends for a long time.”
Flick reached down and grasped the condom, rolling off her to get up and dispose of it. When he came back, he had a warm washcloth he used to clean her up.
He lifted her up, flipped the cover back, and settled them back down on the bed with her head on his shoulder.
“What would be your ideal life?” Flick asked.
“How do you mean?” Beth asked.
“Well, we’ll be combining our lives. Now this isn’t a proposal—that will come later—but you know we’re moving that way. When you picture the future, what do you see?” he asked.
“Us—married. I had a couple ideas for businesses that I’d like to have us or the club open. I enjoy surveillance, but I don’t want to be gone every month for travel. I want to spend time with you.”
“What type of businesses?”
“The man who owns the shelter where I got Lilly and the other dogs is retiring. I don’t want to buy his business because he’s too far away. I’d like to buy and renovate the old Co-op building into a dog training facility, maybe for emotional support dogs and dogs that alert to medical conditions. I also thought we should open a coffee and pastry truck that travels around. It would take some of the stress off the diner’s load, and we could help someone have a job. I kind of have a couple others I don’t want to talk about yet until I think about them more,” Beth said.
Flick snuggled her and pulled her closer.
“I love those ideas. Maybe you could help me think of ways for Gunner and Brody to be a part too,” Flick said.
