“Up here. Bring your legs to my shoulders I’m a bit dizzy,” she laughed, and I moved further up towards her head.
 
 Lily tried a couple of times to hold herself up and maneuver the crown of my dick into her mouth, a couple of times she ghosted it but fell backward again each time unsuccessful in her efforts. Eventually, I changed positions and flipped her on top of me, so we were in a sixty-nine position. I wasted no time tasting her once she was there.
 
 Lily moaned, “Oh, Alfie. Mmm. I love your tongue.”
 
 She placed her head on my thighs for a minute and gave in to the pleasure she felt from what I was doing. I could feel her hot breath dancing across my dick, and it made it bounce on my belly.
 
 After a couple of minutes Lily’s body came alive with her pending release. Her hips gyrated against my shoulders while her pussy juices soaked my chin until she began to spasm above me. She pulsated around my tongue. I lapped greedily at her until her orgasm ebbed away. She rose up from my body, her fingers wrapping tightly around my dick then sucked the tip of it inside her mouth. She lashed her tongue across my head, and a long satisfied hum tore from her throat. It vibrated the length of me and seeped into my bones. It made my body wired as it sent electrical pulses of pleasure firing off in all directions through my veins.
 
 “Jesus, that feels good,” I whispered huskily.
 
 We’d both had a fair bit to drink. That didn’t matter in my case. I knew I wouldn’t last long because of all the emotional shit I’d dealt with earlier due to my stupid insecurities.
 
 I reached down and pulled her out of my mouth. I flipped her onto her back and began stroking my dick up and down her entrance. I reached for and embraced the sides of her head, making eye contact with her, as was our usual ritual. We looked seriously at each other with the intensity our imminent union deserved. The moment I entered her body was when Lily looked her most trusting. I always connected with her vulnerability.
 
 I watched her eyes as I inched inside her. They registered the fullness then her lids fell to half-mast enjoying the stretch. I felt her body relax before my dick became completely engulfed in the tight, snug embrace of her most intimate spot. Lily’s pussy squeezed my length from within, and the sensation was incredible. I grinned as I began to rock back then pushed deeper with the next thrust. Within a minute, I was setting a punishing pace for our lovemaking, all tenderness gone and it became a race to the finish before we passed out drunk.
 
 It didn’t take much for Lily to come again, and she clamped down around me. I made her ride through it as I pounded into her while chasing my own release. Finally, my body stiffened then sagged in jerky movements as I came hard inside her. She milked me with her strong grip; her pussy muscles pulsated rhythmically around me. Both of us were soaked in sweat. Instead of releasing me Lily’s legs wound tighter, her heels pushed our bodies even closer together.
 
 Chapter 12 Eavesdropping
 
 Eventually, we separated, and I slid off the bed. I wandered into the bathroom and found a small, soft guest towel and ran it under the hot faucet. Grabbing another towel, I headed back to the bed. Lily was drowsy, but I washed her intimate places then tucked her under the covers. She rolled to her side and slid her hand under her head near her pillow with her eyes closed.
 
 I traced her cheek with my hand and removed some hair from around her face then sat on the edge of the bed just watching her sleep. Words couldn’t express how I felt when I saw her like that. She was out of it and by then I was wide awake.
 
 After ten minutes, I was still sitting there. I felt like I was sobering, but I was dehydrated. Quietly, I slipped out of the room and closed the door. I headed back to the fridge to find something non-alcoholic to drink. As I neared the main living space, I heard Jack mention Lily’s name. My pace slowed as my curiosity took over. I wanted to hear what he was saying without him knowing I was there.
 
 “It was effortless, Cody, even then, and as young as I was. I don’t think any man would ever have the choice of loving Lily. With her, there isn’t one, it’s more like a compulsion. I feel for you, mate. It must be torturous to live in such close quarters with her all the time and have that depth of affection for her. Maybe if you had more space from each other, it would help you to sort your head out. Maybe you’d move on and find someone to share your life with.”
 
 A silence fell between the two men, and I stood motionless with an ache in my heart that they were talking about my girl and how they felt about her. My temper flared. I had always thought Jack and Lily had something that was more than just friends. However, seeing how Jack took care of Mya and how close they were reassured me. His love for her was definitely the real deal. I was glad to see how he had handled Rick during the game when Rick dared him to kiss Lily.
 
 Since meeting Mya, Jack’s risqué behavior with Lily had tamped down a lot. She wasn’t his first concern when we were together, not like it used to be. Even when he’d been with his previous girlfriend, Lily used to come first. Not anymore.
 
 Cody, on the other hand, was a whole other entity I had to deal with. Cody and Lily were band mates, and Cody was fiercely protective of her. All the guys in her band were. However, it was Cody who Lily always turned to for comfort and reassurance out on the road. They had a connection that made me wary of him. So far it hasn’t been sexual, but I think if Lily ever made the first move, Cody would find her irresistible.
 
 I remembered a time we were standing at a distance watching her interact with fans, and he admitted to me he’d loved Lily. Knowing that scared the shit out of me because I couldn’t be with her all of the time. So, I did what any self-serving Alpha male rock star would have done, and told him if he fucked her he’d be dead.
 
 Since then a lot has happened, and I knew that what Lily and I had was very real. Sometimes I wonder if Cody had ever told Lily how he felt. If he did, Lily never mentioned it to me. It was weird, because sometimes when I saw him, I wanted to beat the living shit out of him for loving what’s mine. Then other times, when Lily was all over me, and I’d catch him watching, I almost felt sorry for the guy. I’d be devastated if I had to watch her with someone else like he did.
 
 One positive from all the attention Lily got was that I never took her for granted. She had my full and undivided attention, always. Like I said before, she’s everything, and whenever she walked into the room, my world stopped revolving. She has never failed to have that effect on me, and I thank my lucky stars for the chain of events that brought her into my life.
 
 Cody cleared his throat and spoke in a low slurry murmur, but I still made out what he said.
 
 “She’s deliriously happy with him, Jack. Knowing that is enough for me. I love her that much. A girl like Lily is beyond my reach. You know Alfie threatened me once, warned me off her? I was pretty stoked when Alfie said that to me because I knew then that she wasn’t making a mistake in giving her heart to him because he felt the same.”
 
 I’d heard enough, so I coughed to warn them I was coming and walked into the living room. I was going to pretend I’d heard nothing but Jack twisted his body and flung his arm over the back of his chair to face me.
 
 “So exactly how much of our conversation did you hear, Alfie?”
 
 I wasn’t going to lie to him, so I looked him square in the eye and spoke honestly.
 
 “Pretty much from the point that loving Lily is compulsive.”
 
 Cody stood up and swayed on his feet. He looked shocked and had the grace to look slightly embarrassed.
 
 “I’m sorry, dude. I have no right to talk…”
 
 I put my hand up to silence him and opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water.
