I wrap my arms around her. Putting my chin on her neck, I whisper in her. “I’m going to take a shower. You want to join me?”

“Of course,” she says as she leans her head back.

I take her hand and lead her into the bathroom. We already unpacked her bathroom bag, which has just enough towels for us right now. We’ll need to stop and get some more. Though I know she wasn’t anticipating another person living with her when she was packing up.

We walk into the bathroom and undress in front of each other in silence. I can't tear my eyes away as she slowly reveals each beautiful part of her body. When I pull down my boxers, my dick springs free, showing just how happy he is to finally be near her again.

I grip it while I lean in and turn on the shower, letting the water get warm.

She bites her lip as she watches me run my hand along my length.

"I could watch you do that for hours," she whispers.

"Does it make you wet?" I ask her as I continue.

She nods her head.

"Give me a taste. Stick your pretty little fingers in that wet pussy, and let me get a lick of them."

Her eyes grow darker from my demand. I love that she is always right with me, just as turned on as I am.

I watch as she sinks two fingers into her folders, and she rubs back and forth.

"Fuck, baby," I growl. "I can hear your wetness from here. Now, bring those fingers over here to me."

She saunters over to me while her fingers still play between her folds. Her eyes never leave my hand as it still moves along my shaft. When she is directly in front of me, she brings her fingers up to my mouth. I open for them as she gently places them on my tongue.

I close my lips around her fingers and suck. I groan as soon as I get a taste of the pussy I've been missing all week. I feel her other hand stop mine as it moves down my dick and push it away. She replaces my hand with hers. We both stand outside of the shower, me sucking on her fingers, her hand sliding over my dick.

I pop off her fingers.

"I think the water is warm," I whisper, then open the door.

I let her step in first, then I walk in, close the door, and fuck her pussy like it's the last day I'll ever have the chance to.

Chapter Thirty-Three

Gabe

Icanbarelygetthe sandwich down that sits on my desk in front of me. I’ve been sick to my stomach since Marcus abruptly called us yesterday and announced that he was leaving the company and moving.

I’ve been running through everything I may have said over his lifetime that would make him feel like he didn’t want to be around anymore.

I get he loves Lexi, but moving there, instead of just doing long distance first, feels more about getting away from us.

I know I’ve been harsh over the years, but I’m only trying to make sure he doesn’t make the same mistakes that I’ve made. From the moment Ma came home from the hospital with him, it felt like my responsibility as the oldest to protect him. Luke and I are too close in age for me to have had that instinct when he was born. But I felt it fiercely when Marcus came along.

I feel the same with Mia. They are the two that I worry most about.

It was a powerful sense of loyalty I felt when I held him for the first time. When he cried, I would follow Ma around, worried sick.

If he was scared of the dark when he was younger, I let him slide into my bed with me. I wanted to chase all his monsters away for him.

“You ready to go?” Alexis walks into the room. "The kids are already in the car waiting."

“Yeah. I’m ready.”

I help her into her coat before we get into the car. The ride is mostly quiet, as I’m not much in the mood for small talk. I haven't been since Marcus blew up at me.
