I munch on my pretzel and sigh as my stomach doesn’t revolt.

Gracie bats Ashley away again and laughs, and I let myself wallow in my happy place. There’s a lot of laughs and giggles with my daughter.

Once I send Gracie to shower before bed, Ashley traps me by my bedroom door with an arm around my waist. He nuzzles under my ear, sending a zing over my skin. “I’m heading out, but I’ll see you tomorrow.”

I brush my palms up his arms, keeping him close for another few seconds.

He plants his mouth against mine, savoring me. It’s the only way I know how to describe it. His retreat is gentle, loving, and supportive. Ashley flashes me a smile on his way out.

When I turn to Sawyer who is still in my kitchen, the look he gives me has me burning all the way down to my toes.

Gracie pops out to say goodnight and then goes to bed.

Sawyer is at my back as I close her door, and the moment his hands find my hips, I’m on fire. It’s an easy tip-toe into mybedroom. The moment we’re shut in alone, I yank at the back of his shirt, and he tears it over his head.

I enjoy fondling him, which makes him smile at me. I poke the dimple I’ve discovered in his cheek. It’s a rare treasure.

Lifting me in his embrace, he carries me to the bathroom and the shower. It’s his routine. Sawyer is a pamperer. Cooking for me, rubbing my feet, washing my hair. That’s what he plans to do for me now.

His hands cup and smooth over my skin turns me on.

Once he’s done washing me, Sawyer rubs me until I’m grinding against the hand he has between my thighs. I swear that making me come has become his new favorite pastime. His cock is trapped between my cheeks, an ever-present reminder of how badly he wants me. It’s intoxicating.

Sawyer nuzzles and nips at my neck, his stubble rough against my wet skin.

I come easy and I know it’s only the beginning.

He carries my half-limp body to bed, where he starts all over again, kissing and stroking me until I’m writhing for him.

The weight of him over me is delicious. It makes the heavy thickness of his cock as it pounds into me a kind of bliss that blitzes out my thoughts.

He never fails to satisfy me and send me off to a deep, peaceful sleep.

I also get the perk of him making breakfast in the morning. Something Gracie also benefits from. And he’s patient with her when she wants to participate.

When she begs for him to take her to school, I silently ask him with my gaze. Sawyer nods.

“All right, go grab your bag and shoes.”

Gracie claps her hands and runs off, and I get a precious few minutes with him alone. I enjoy the way his morning stubble scrapes against my palm, how soft his mouth is as he kisses me,the ever-gentle way his hands cup my waist, slide around my back, and keep me close to him.

Sawyer makes it far too easy to be in love with him. “Rest today.”

“All I’ve been doing is resting. I work part time from home.”

“Promise me.”

Giving him a long-suffering sigh and flinging back my head, I concede. “Fine.”

He kisses the tip of my nose and crushes me against him again. Here’s the thing I didn’t know about big guys like Sawyer; all of that muscle is soft when it’s not engaged. Which makes cuddling all the more luxurious.

And boy howdy, is this man a big teddy bear.

Sending Gracie off with him is easy, and I can’t bite back my laughter when Ashley pulls into the driveway as they’re pulling out.

I plant my hands on my hips. “Shouldn’t you be on your way to work?”

“I’ve got a late morning.” He hops out and catches me around the waist as he hauls me inside, leaning me against the front door once it’s closed. “I needed another taste of you to get through my day. I miss you.”
