I slide down his body and turn the water on in the shower, letting it heat up. I pull my shirt over my head and shove my shorts down. Landon licks his lips as he watches me strip. He takes his glasses off and sets them on the bathroom counter. He lifts his shirt over his head and I go for his shorts.

I squeeze his cock hard and his lips land back on mine to silence his groan. He pulls open the shower door and pushes me inside until my back hits the wall.

His fingers slide between us, rubbing my clit before sliding inside. My head falls back against the wall as my eyes close. Both of us holding back moans as we touch each other. But this isn’t what I wanted to do. I wanted to show him how much it meant to me with the way he acted around my kids.

I press a chaste kiss to his neck. “The kids love you.”

“I don’t know about that.”

“They do. You were so good with them.”

His hands slide up my body, cupping my breasts. “I had fun playing with them, reading to them.”

“Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

“Because it meant the world to me.”

He tries to pull me into him but I hold back. “You mean the world to me.”

I answer by dropping to my knees and taking his hard cock into my mouth. I suck him in deep and he grunts, leaning into me and resting his hand against the shower wall. His other hand grips my hair. I pull out and swirl my tongue around the engorged tip before sliding back down around him slowly, my teeth just grazing the top.

He groans and I feel his hand tighten on my hair. I continue the slow rhythm until I know he can’t take it anymore. He pulls me up, wrapping my legs around him and thrusting into me hard. He covers up my scream with his mouth, his tongue replicating what I was doing to his cock.

It doesn’t take long for both of us to climax. He holds on to me as I feel him release into me. His mouth falls to my neck, sucking gently on the sensitive skin.

“I love you, Mar. I want all of this with you. Your love, your kids, your mom. One big family. I didn’t realize I wanted it until now.”

“I want that with you too.”

“Te amo,” he says to me and I nearly start crying.

“Te quiero,” I answer him back.

“Cada día te quiero más,” he says to me, surprising me with Spanish and the wordseach day I love you more.

Chapter Thirty-Five

Mari

It’s been four days since I saw Landon. We spent Sunday afternoon on the beach again. Him playing with the girls and my mom giving me that damn look. Ben came over Sunday night to bring us home and the girls were sad to see Landon go.

So was I. But he gave me one hell of a kiss as a parting gift, promising we would make this work.

I haven’t heard from him since but he said since he wasn’t technically in charge of my protection, we shouldn’t be texting each other. It made me feel better as to why he had been silent those first two weeks.

The first thing I did Monday morning after dropping the girls off at camp was call my lawyer and ask him to file a complaint for divorce. I know the process is worse but since Michael won’t budge on a mutual agreement, it needs to come down to this. I don’t know how quick things will be, my lawyer says it can take up to fourteen months but I am hoping since he is a senator, things will move along quicker.

And now I am standing in front of a mirror, my hands running down the curves of my body as I take in the dress I am wearing. It’s a champagne sequin one-shoulder gown. It’s modest and doesn’t show too much cleavage but has a slit up to mid-thigh. My hair is piled on top of my head in a messy mix of bun and curls. Large diamond hoops hang from my ears.

“You look gorgeous!” Rebecca shouts as she walks into my room.

I turn to look at her. “You look just as good. Damn girl, turn around let me see the back.”

Rebecca is wearing a bright red dress with a slouch neck, showing off just enough cleavage. She has a slit on each side of her dress that comes up just as high as mine. But the best part of her dress is the back. It’s completely open with five crystal straps hanging loosely connecting the sides.

“Mamacita! You will be bringing in all the donors tonight!”
