“Keep going,” he said, undressing as quickly as possible, then covering his dick.

He’d been watching her while he got ready and her eyes were all but crossing as she was getting worked up again.

He tossed the toy on the side of the bed, gathered her into his arms and sank inside fast.

She screamed out in pleasure and was bucking up against him so fast he had no choice but to follow. She was coming around his dick hard and pulsing around him and he joined her, the two of them going on and on.

When she finally stopped moving and lay there spent, he said, “You’re right. That was intense.”

“My God. I’m going to have to use two toys now that I know what it’s like to put something in me after the first orgasm.”

He burst out laughing. “Or you can wait for me.”

“I can do that too,” she said. “But you know, a lady has needs. Though after this night I could be satisfied for a week or so until I can see you again.”

“Then I’ll make tonight and tomorrow morning completely worth it for you and wear you out good.”

“Please do,” she said quietly, her eyes drifting shut.

He got up to take care of the condom and when he came back she was out cold napping.

He found a blanket at the end of the bed and covered them both and lay down to pull her into his arms. Maybe they could both use a nap after that.

THE REAL THING

The next morning, Laken was mortified over what she’d done last night with Jamie.

Or more was mortified over the fact she’d fallen asleep on him.

They barely saw each other. She worked her ass off to get out early for the day.

Then she takes a two-hour nap yesterday that killed the rest of the afternoon.

“You’re up before me,” she said, rubbing her eyes as she walked out of the bathroom to see the bed empty and finding him in the kitchen.

“Not really,” he said. “You got in the shower before me and I thought I’d get breakfast going.”

“I appreciate it,” she said. “No chance of me burning something by you distracting me.”

“You don’t burn as much as you say.”

She laughed and gave him a quick squeeze around his waist and then moved over to make her coffee. “I haven’t made enough for you to know that. And I didn’t realize you cooked. I thought you’d have Janelle doing it for you.”

“No,” he said. “She is the nanny, not my cook or maid.”

“You clean your own house?” she asked, lifting her eyebrow. “Even I have a cleaning company come in once a week. I’m not that messy, but I barely have time to feed myself let alone clean.”

“Or sleep,” he said, tugging a lock of her hair.

Her face filled with some heat. “Sorry about the nap yesterday. I guess I was more tired than I thought.”

Between running around, traveling all the time and working long days and nights to make up for wanting to take a few days off, she was burning herself out and knew it.

It was great having Abby on board even if she was spending time she didn’t have to meet with her future sister-in-law to get started. But she knew in the long run it was going to be much better for her.

“I could take it as a compliment that I wore you out,” he said. “I napped right there with you. Sometimes we just need to give into our bodies.”
