I line my cock up with her opening. “No condom.” We already had this discussion but I will never abuse Harper’s trust. “You okay with me going bare inside you?”
She bobs her head. “Yep.”
I inch inside and she moans. I love how vocal she is for me, but I don’t want her to be embarrassed tomorrow with her dad.I meld my mouth to hers as I sink my cock into her until I bottom out.
“Love you, Harper,” I whisper against her lips. “Love the little sounds you make. The way your fingers dig into my biceps. And I fucking love making you come.”
And then I proceed to do exactly that.

“Nothing says ‘Good Morning’ like a well-timed guilt trip.” ~ Harper
Harper
Isnuggle into Kai and his arm tightens around my waist.
He kisses my hair. “Good morning, Slugger. How did you sleep?”
I open my mouth to tell him okay but then I realize I’d be lying. I slept better than okay.
“Pretty good,” I hedge. “I usually don’t sleep well because of Dad’s snoring.”
The earplugs he bought me are great, but they’re almost too great. I’m afraid Dad will call out to me and I won’t hear him when I wear them.
“I’ll have to fuck you to sleep more often.”
I roll over to glare at him. “Awful presumptuous of you.”
“I love you. I’m not sleeping apart from you.”
My heart batters in my chest. This man loves me. And I love him. When he cradled baby Stephanie in his arms with suchtenderness, the ice around my heart cracked wide open and love for him poured in.
I open my mouth to confess my feelings but the words get stuck in my throat. I’ve never told anyone I’ve loved them before other than my parents.
He kisses my forehead. “It’s okay, Harper. I get it.”
“What precisely do you get?”
“How your love for me has you tongue tied.”
I bristle. “I never said I love you.”
He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. “You let me have sex with you in your bedroom two doors down from your dad. It’s pretty obvious. Especially since you seduced me.”
“I did not seduce you.”
I didn’t. It was more tempting than seducing. Besides, I love pretty nightgowns and lingerie. I have to wear them sometimes.
He chuckles. “Okay. You didn’t seduce me. But you do love me.”
“I…” I trail off with a sigh. “Fine. I love you. I don’t know why. You’re the most annoying person I’ve ever known. You don’t understand the word no. You push and push until you get what you want. You think being a goofball is an honor.”
He wraps an arm around my waist and hauls me close. “And yet, you love me.”
I gaze into his stunning blue eyes and all I see is happiness. My heart clenches in my chest. This is what I’ve always wanted. Since the moment I understood how much my parents loved each other, I’ve yearned for what they had.
I didn’t expect to find love with a goofball who’s eight years my junior but here we are.
