“Wish we could stay in our bubble. Adulting is overrated. Night, Wolf.”

“Night, Red.”

His arms wind that little bit tighter around me as I push into his body that little bit closer.

Finally, sleep takes us both under its spell.

“I swear to god your sister is going to have her phone restricted before long, if she doesn’t stop calling and cock blocking me in the morning. I bet it’s fucking Xavier putting her up to it.”

Lilly rolls over, mumbling something that I can’t make out.

“Give me the phone and let me answer,” I say to her as she leans down onto the floor to grab her phone that she knocked down there when she tried to pick it up.

“Not a chance, grumpy.” She glares at me.

“You’d be grumpy too if you were about to make a home run,” I mumble into her neck as I continue to attack her while she’s trying to talk to her sister. It’s been the same thing every morning this week and I think it’s time to put a stop to this. Snatching the phone from Lilly, I decide Alesha needs to get the message.

“Hey, Lesh, can you do me a favor? Don’t call in the mornings. You’re interrupting my morning glory. You can tell Xavier that he may think it’s funny, but my cock doesn’t. Lilly will call you later. Love you, but we need to go. Got something important to do.”

I hang up, looking at Lilly with her mouth wide open. “I was thinking of putting my cock somewhere else but if you keep sitting there with your mouth wide open, I’m more than happy to change that.” I lunge for her as she attempts to jump up and run away from me. I catch her around the waist, crashing back on to the bed. I bring her underneath me and both of us are laughing at what just happened.

“Now, where was I? That’s right, about to make my girlfriend scream my name.” Sinking into her and watching her face is the best way to start a day.

It’s lucky we don’t run out of hot water in this apartment, between the time a joint shower takes us and then adding that to the showers Lilly takes on her own. Standing in the kitchen, I hear the water shut off and I know it’s time to pour the coffee and serve up the breakfast.

Life has become so much better since sharing it with Lilly. The patter of her bare feet approaching behind me might sound like something little, but it’s the sweetest sound to me. One I will never take for granted. She circles her hands around my waist from behind and kisses my neck, then goes to pull back. Then out of the blue she smacks my shoulder.

“I still can’t believe you said that to my sister. How am I going to look at her today without thinking about the fact that she knew we were in the middle of having sex this morning?” She sits down on her stool at the counter, the one she’s claimed.

“Are you serious? Since when have you ever worried about talking sex with your sister? The stories I hear, you’ve always overshared your personal life. By the way, you better be telling them what a stud I am and how amazingly talented I am.” I kiss her on the top of her head as I walk away from serving up her plate and coffee in front of her.

“Wouldn’t you like to know what I say about you.” Her giggle is a cheeky one as she tries to take her first mouthful.

“I still have time to put you over my knee and spank you, Red, before I leave for work. Don’t tempt me, cheeky lady.” I tap her on her butt cheek as I sit down, and we both get sucked into eating, knowing we’re running out of time to get to work.

We walk to the elevator, Lilly’s hand in mine. In such a short time, life has become so simple. It’s like we’ve been together forever. Every day I thank the universe for bringing her to me.

Descending to Xavier’s floor for Alesha to hop in, I lean down and kiss Lilly like my life depends on it. I feel her sag into my body like her legs are weak. I slowly pull back as the elevator comes to a stop. Lilly looks up at me.

“What was that for?” Her cheeks are flushed and her lips puffy.

“Because I can.” I kiss her nose and Alesha joins us for the ride to the parking garage. She chats away to Lilly while I stand next to them feeling so unexpectedly at peace.

“I’ll pick you up from the office at six to head out for dinner with Jessie and Adam. Have a good day, ladies. Make sure you give those brothers of yours something to complain about.” Taking Lilly in my arms as Alesha walks towards her car, I take one more kiss that makes her weak in the knees.

“Love you, Lilly.” Leaving a long soft kiss on her forehead, I step away to let her follow her sister. She stops and blows a kiss over her shoulder.

“Love you too, Wolf,” she mouths and then continues to wiggle that ass just that little bit more for my benefit. She slides into the car with a smirk on her face. She knows she’ll have me adjusting myself before I get into the car to try to find a little comfort. My little vixen. God, I hope she never loses that spark.

Driving to the station, my mind starts to switch on for work. Today we start collating all the evidence, statements, and bring together everything we have, to start the process of preparing for court. It will be difficult as always when you find out how bad it really was for the victims, see the pictures and listen to interviews. To find out that the dirty cop that was working against us the whole time was found upstairs in the club in the worst rooms, it made me sick to the core. Even worse was the fact I had worked with him on previous cases and never suspected a thing. Surprisingly, although this is all weighing on me, for the first time it isn’t consuming me. I know I have Lilly to go home to and that keeps me heading towards the light through the dark day I’m about to enter.

Life is finally on the right road, and funnily enough, it’s not a road either of us even had on our maps.
