“Yeah. Sure thing, angel. We love the little guy. Made sense for us to all be here,” Cal responds.
“We are family, after all.” It’s King who comments on the most substantial truth, and one that means more to me now than it did two months ago.
We’re a family.All of us.
No matter the number on our jerseys. The role we have on staff at Makers, or even the number of zeros in our bank accounts. We’re a family, and families take care of each other.
“We are, aren’t we?” I smile, looking around at my best friends taking in the little miracle boy that’s now the center of our group.
“Sure are. Now, would you leave already so I can enjoy him?” Navy quips, grabbing Apollo from August. “He probably smells you and your titty milk.” She nods at me.
“Titty milk?” Bodhi chuckles, questioning his woman.
“Breast milk, B. Keep up.” Bodhi rolls his eyes, perfectly content letting Navy boss him around the way she does best.
“You’re lucky you’re hot,” he tells her, causing all of us to laugh.
“Ready to get going, Mama?” August whispers from behind me.
I turn to face him and love what I see. He’s dressed up for me tonight in a pair of black jeans, brown suede Chelsea boots, and a white button-down shirt. I can smell his musky beard oil from here, and my body buzzes with heat knowing he worked it into his mustache just for me.
Just how I like it.
God, he’s sexy. “More than anything,” I answer.
We have yet to have any alone time since Apollo was born, and now we finally get to go on that date August insisted he take me on months ago.
I’m ready. I’m also very, very horny and ready to climb my man like a tree. Now that I’ve been cleared by the doctors, I’m feral for him.
“You better run, bat boy. We might not make it out of the driveway before I have your cock in my mouth.”
His deep chuckle is all I hear as the front door closes behind us, and I follow him toward his Bronco.
He thinks I’m kidding…yeah, we’ll see about that.
Why else would I wear a dress?

AUGUST
“My favorite panties? Oh, she’s really feeling spontaneous tonight.”
“Would you just shut up and touch me?”
We barely made it to the Bronco before Tenley had her dress to her chest, revealing the black panties I love so much.
She planned this, and I love her for that.
However, I thought she was gonna fight me right then and there for insisting she cover up and wait until we’re at least a mile from the condo.
It was a really big ask because she cussed me out the whole way here.
I took one for the team and drove us to the parking lot at Joe’s, feeling a little sentimental. “Joe’s? You trying to get me knocked up again or something?”
I chuckle, putting the truck in park and reaching for her hand. “Why? Do you want me to put another baby in you, Tenley? We both know how well I perform at that.”
“Shhh.” Her finger finds my lips. “Don’t speak of that.I’m on birth control now. No more babies are coming out of this body for a very long time, mister.”
