Page 31 of Misery In Me

“Fuck yes,” he grunts, lifting so I can pull his shirt up over his head. I explore every inch of his chest with my mouth as my hands roam free, tracing the contours of his sculpted body. I carefully avoid the bandaged area of his ribs but kiss around it.

Gage’s breath becomes ragged, his grip on my hips tightening as I tease him relentlessly. I pause for a moment, looking up at him through hooded eyes, before finally giving in to the temptation. His hands thread through my hair, pulling my mouth back up to his as I take back control, grinding on him, pushing us both to that point of no return.

“Shit,” he gasps into my mouth, feeling my thighs tighten around his hips. “That’s it. Come for me,Hermosa.”

Lost in the sensations, time becomes a blur. Gage’s moans grow louder, matching the rhythm of our bodies as we move as one. The tension in the room reaches its breaking point, and when he thrusts his hips again, I come, my body trembling against his. Gage swallows my moans in a desperate attempt to not wake the baby, but he isn’t quick enough.

Zoe lets out a piercing cry that snaps us back to reality. We jerk our heads up, stare at her, and watch her little fists swing through the air as she expresses her discomfort. We look at each other and laugh because something like this would happen.

“At least one of us got to finish.” He chuckles as I scramble off of him and rush towards her.

“We can fix that later.”

I unbuckle her from the seat and rock her in my arms, getting her to calm back down. Returning to the counter, I grab her bottle out of the warmer; the glass still feels slightly warm in my hand. Just as I begin to walk toward the chair, Gage speaks up.

“Bring her here. I’ll feed her.” He’s still lying down and when I’m in front of him, he holds out his arms for her. I place Zoe in his waiting arms and she roots against his chest. Handing him the bottle, he winces as he situates himself to feed her.

I don’t know if I should leave them to bond or stay. What if he needs some space after what just happened?

Don’t overthink things, Ale.

“You too.” His voice cuts through the barrage of mental anguish I’m putting myself through.

“Huh?” My eyes find his, confused by his words.

“There’s enough room for you to lie with us.”

It’s so intimate. Something a nanny shouldn’t be part of. But he is inviting me into the space with them. I stare at the spot where he has his arm raised, waiting for me to join them.

“I should finish getting lunch ready.” Averting his gaze, I look back over at our waiting lunch.

“Ale.”

Give in, Ale. You know you want to. You want him and he wants you.

“Okay,” I scoot next to him, resting my head on his bare chest, taking the bottle from him and holding it to feed her while he wraps his arm around my back. “What are we going to do, Gage?”

Looking up at him, he pushes my hair from my forehead and places a soft kiss before saying, “I have no fucking clue.”

TWELVE

GAGE

I swear to God, if this child doesn’t stay asleep tonight, I’m going to lose my fucking mind. We are at a national emergency level of needing to come. DEFCON 1 level need.

I’m at a point where if Ale breathes on me, I’ll probably bust a nut.

Ale has Zoe squared away and back in my lap before I can even make a move on her. My daughter and I stare at each other and I silently tell her in my head that she needs to get it together and sleep so her dad can play with her nanny later tonight. She grunts in my lap and if that’s any sign of her understanding, I’m fucked.

How’s a guy supposed to get laid around here?

Well, you're probably not supposed to be trying to fuck the nanny for one, because then she would be the one to watch the kid while you go get laid.

“Do you want yours on sandwich bread or with crackers?” I pull my head out of my ass and look over at Ale in the kitchen, trying to situate our lunch. The lunch that was forgotten while we basically had sex with clothes on.

I haven’t dry-humped someone since high school, but you know what? I’m not going to complain. Her hips fit perfectly in my hands and all I want now is to see her naked underneath me.

“Bread, please.” I choke out.
