Page 29 of Flawless Lyric

“And the reason you wanted to keep it a secret and we all ruined it for you guys.” Now she looks upset and that wasn’t my intention. Micah ushers her to the sofa and they both sit down.

“It’s no one’s fault, Maya. It just happened. I’ll make it a point to stop by tomorrow after the press conference to let them know we’re together.” A knot forms in the pit of my stomach when he glances my way. I know, I should volunteer to go with him, but I just can’t. Being a mother, I’d be furious if Novalee came home with a man who was ten years older than her. And, in today’s society, it’s second nature.

But this is different. I’m the older woman seducing the younger man.

Older women with younger men are not as common as the other way around. How will people look at me as we’re walking down the street? Good god I can’t think about it right now.

I’m the Mrs. Robinson of the twenty-first century.

If you have no clue about Mrs. Robinson, check out the movieThe Graduate. It’s a classic.

“Maybe we should hold off on telling her. I love my job and I’m terrified she’s going to fire me.”

“You’re kidding, right?” When she notices the frightened look on my face, she continues. “Mom already loves you. Personally, I think she’d be thrilled that Micah has found such a wonderful woman who already fits in perfectly with the Monroe family.”

“That’s exactly what I told Lyric already. Now do you believe me?” Micah’s so sure of himself that at times I envy him. The whole Monroe family is confident and enigmatic. I’d be shocked to find out if someone didn’t like them.

“Neither of you think it’s going to make an awkward working relationship when she finds out I’m sleeping with her son?” Maya feigns fainting. Slumping over on her brother’s lap with her arm over her face. Now I’m wondering if she took drama in high school.

“Oh my god, I didn’t know you were sleeping with him. That changes everything.” Micah pushes her off of him before chastising her.

“Knock it off. Beauty has a valid point and I…”

“Wait. What did you call her?” I’m sure my face is turning bright red now that my endearment has been revealed.

“I don’t need to explain anything to you, my dear sister. But if you must know, Beauty is short for beautiful, and Lyric is beautiful inside and out. In fact, you’ve overstayed your welcome and now it’s time for you to leave.” Is he really kicking her out?

“Jeez. I was only trying to lighten the mood, but I can take a hint. Lyric, let him talk to Mom so she doesn’t find out from one of us. Wait, I almost forgot… Never mind. She’ll have weeks to process everything since she doesn’t go to the office very often.”

“Goodbye, Maya.” With a huff, she stands up and they walk to the door together. They pull each other in for a great big hug.

“See you later, alligator,” Maya grumbles.

“In a while, crocodile,” is Micah’s comeback. As soon as he shuts the door, he locks it and then his steely gaze meets mine. Oh Lordy.

“Now, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?” After stalking over to the chair where I’m sitting, he kneels in front of me. “Since we don’t have much time after our surprise visitor, I’m going to devote all of my time to you, Beauty.”

And he does.

Placing one of my legs over the arm of the chair, he slides my panties to the side and inhales. I’m not sure if that turns me on or off until he leans in, swiping his tongue across my slick folds. My hips buck off the chair and he presses them back down with his strong hands.

“Don’t move, Beauty. I’m going to feast on your delicious pussy before I need to leave. Then I’m going to stop over after I drop off Asher and fuck you until the sun comes up. So, you best take a nap while you can because you won’t be sleeping at all tonight.”

Diving back in, he flicks his tongue across my clit with gentle strokes. Up and down and side to side until my heart races and my hands tangle in his hair. I’m desperately wanting to circle my hips and ride his face, but I can’t because he’s holding me down. When he wraps his lips around my hard nub and begins sucking, my legs begin shaking and I can’t stop them.

“Micah, Oh God. Please…”

The man doesn’t relent as he feeds on me like a starving man. It’s so powerful and overwhelming that I’m crying as I shatter with his tongue inside of me.

While he leaves fingerprints on my soul.

With my chest heaving and my body still trembling, he kisses his way up my body with such tenderness and diligence that I close my eyes and fight back the tears. No one has ever shown me this kind of attention and affection before. I have no words for the emotion swirling through me at the moment. It’s overwhelming and heartwarming.

When his lips gently caress mine, I part my lips. Needing so much more. Our tongues dance to a familiar tune playing inside of my head. Reminding me that no matter what life brings, you can always use somebody. Like him.

“Beauty. Why are you crying?”

How can I tell him after such a short time that I’m falling in love with him?
