“You’re somethin’ else, Princess.”
Shrugging, I give him a small smile. “Maybe, but I’m yours.”
“And I’ll never get tired of hearin’ it.”

OTTO
Imade good on my promise to love on Fallon. I’d surprised myself, but I think she did too. There was a lot ofeverythingtangled up with us that seemed to settle with the early mornin’ light. We’d talked and made love until fallin’ asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.
I refrained from askin’ her to marry me but only because Briggs still needs time to adjust, and as much as I love Fallon, that kid comes first.
“What are you thinkin’ so hard about over there?” Fallon asks as she picks up the coffee mug on the counter that I fixed for her and blows on the steaming liquid.
“Just about how we do this with Briggs—makin’ sure he’s comfortable.”
“It’s going to be an adjustment again, but he has so many people who love him and shower him with affection. We’re lucky to be in this position.” She moves to stand between my legs while wearin’ my shirt, and I can’t help but run my hands up to tease the hem against her thigh.
“What position is that?” I murmur as I nuzzle my face against her breasts. She laughs and pushes out of my hold.
“Notthatposition.” Putting the island between us, she smirks over her cup.
“Why not?” I say while standing. “We’ve got a couple of hours before we need to be at Mama’s for the barbeque.”
She takes a step back as I round the island, keeping it between us.
“Haven’t you had enough of me?” Her cheeks are flushed as she puts her coffee down without taking her eyes off me.
I grin.
“Never.”
“Otto…” She says my name in warning, but her eyes are bright with anticipation.
We move in tandem but I’m gaining on her. My phone buzzes on the counter, and she’s distracted just enough for me to round the island.
She squeals as I hook my arm around her thighs and throw her over my shoulder.
“Otto!”
“Still on my time, Princess, and right now, it’s time for breakfast,” I say in the most lecherous tone I can manage as I smack her ass.
“Oh my God, you goof, put me down!” She can barely get the words out she’s laughing so hard as I carry her to the bedroom.
“As the lady wishes.”
She lets out a smalloofas she lands on the mattress. Her smile is wide and inviting, and I give her one of my own before burying my face between her legs.
“I can’t believe you almost made us late!” Fallon hisses as we park my truck at my parents’ house. We’d spent the last few hours naked and enjoying the uninhibited connection between us.
“Why are you so worried? We’renotlate and even if we were, Briggs knows everyone.” I smile down at myProperty of Briggsshirt.
“Yeah, but Tanner doesn’t. You don’t think it’s weird that we’re together and my ex-husband is going to be here withyourfamily?”
“Okay, well, if you want to dwell on Tanner being your ex-husband, that’s on you. I trust you and I like him enough currently, but I’d rather look at him as Briggs’s dad instead of your ex.”
“Huh.”
