My phone screen lit up, and I snatched it off the floorbeside me.

Mom

I hope your vacation is helping you relax.

I sighed.

Quite the opposite.

It’s been an adventure.

I waited a beat as her dots danced.

Mom

Did I wake you? What are you doing up?

I could ask you the same thing.

Mom

You know I’ve been having terrible insomnia lately. I just wanted to message you so you’d see it when you woke up.

Well, I’m up. Can’t sleep.

No thanks to the sexy-as-sin kindergarten teacherlying in the one place I coveted.

Mom

Don’t stay up too late. Get some rest. Can’t wait to see you when you get back and see the new, stress-free you.

I sneered.

June groaned and shifted, the mattress squeaking beneath her.

Don’t hold your breath.

We still need to talk about you sending June away from me.

Mom

That’s no way to talk. Work on your optimism like your father said.

I’ll try. Night Mom. Long day ahead of me tomorrow.

Mom

G’night, dear.

I dropped the phone onto the nightstand aboveme and rolled to my side, punching the pillow beneath my head, grumbling under my breath.

Twenty-five minutes later, I stood beside the bed, her warmth feeding a need inside of me I’d suppressed for years.

She’d draped her leg outside of the covers, her back to me, giving me a view of her ample ass. My dick swelled as I stooped over her, dragging my nose between her legs, soaking in her enticing scent.

Her chest rose and fell in steady breaths as I moved closer, the bed sinking under my weight.

I’ll have you, my porcelain doll.
