“Wrap those gorgeous legs around me,” he grunts.

I do his bidding, locking my feet at the small of his back and bringing my pelvis up off the bed. We move together in time, working toward our mutual release. Every time he thrusts inside me, he releases a sexy grunt, his breath blowing across my face and I glance up at him. His veins are pulsing along his neck and sweat drips from his temples as he grits his teeth. The concentration and focus on me and his task are sexy as hell. This man is all about getting the best out of both of us, and he’s doing a damn fine job.

“I … I’m so close. I … I nee–” I pant as my muscles draw tight, ready for release.

“I know what you need,” he grunts, his voice rough, as he moves one hand down to pinch my clit.

And I’m gone.

I’m floating in the stratosphere. Untethered to the earth. It’s beautiful in this place in between, as my body falls apart. Max’s cock swells and pulses as he grunts out his orgasm. He throws his head back and I rise to lick the sweat from his Adam’s Apple. His hot cum coats my walls as my muscles tighten and squeeze his pulsing shaft.

“Oh my God! I think I had an out-of-body experience.”

“IknowI had one. Fuck! That was incredible.” He kisses me tenderly. “You’re incredible,” he whispers.

I drop my legs from around his hips as he pushes in and out slowly, gently. The aftershocks rattling through my body. Max rolls to the side, taking me with him, trapping me to him by throwing one leg over mine and pulling me close to his body, not leaving any space between us. He kisses my forehead and strokes my sweaty hair away from my face so I glance up at him. “That was amazing.” Three little words want to escape, but I hold them in. I think it may be too soon, but I know I’m falling in love with him.

He hums in response, and I drop my head to rest over his heart, which is beating a furious rhythm to match mine. As my body cools, I shiver, and goosebumps cover my skin.

“Are you cold?”

“A little.”

He taps my ass and releases me to climb out of bed, then he pulls the bedcovers out from beneath me and covers my body. “Back in a sec.” I hear the faucet turn on and off in the bathroom and he returns with a washcloth. “Here, let me clean up my mess.” He uncovers me and opens my thighs, wiping my entrance and paying special attention to the surrounding flesh and upper thighs. A smile slowly forms as he studies my pussy, dragging his fingers through the slit from bottom to top, causing me to wince slightly. His eyes glance up to mine before dropping back down, a furrow forming between his brows. “Did I hurt you?”

I shake my head. “No. It’s a little tender, but it’s a good tender.” I smile at the relief that takes over his face. He steps out of the bedroom and returns a few moments later with a glass of water and some Tylenol. “I’ll take the water, but I don’t need the pain relief. I promise I’m okay.” I wink at him. “You said you were going to destroy me. I think we can both agree that you succeeded.”

He huffs out a laugh and shakes his head at me. “Only you, Molly. The fact you don’t need the pain relief suggests I didn’t destroy you at all.” He turns off the bedroom light and climbs into bed, rearranging me to his liking as he curls his body around mine. Planting a kiss to my temple. I swoon internally at his gentle care. “Go to sleep, Dimples. You need your rest.”

“Okay. Night, Max.” I blow out a heavy breath of contentment. Lying in his arms and falling asleep here, with him wrapped around my body, I know I’m safe.

“Night, Dimples.”

CHAPTER30

I pullMolly’s hand into my lap to stop her from fidgeting with her bracelet. “I don’t know why you’re nervous. My family’s not that scary.”

Her head snaps around to me. “Oh, I’m sure they’re not. Your sister’s lovely, as are her kids. It’s that I’m not used to extended family get-togethers.” I squeeze her hand. “It was only Mom and me for so long and then Jack came along. Then, a few years later, they had Ethan. It was only ever the four of us for birthdays and special holidays.”

I glance at her, then back to the road. My heart breaks for this woman and the things she’s missed out on. “It’s noisy, but it’s always fun. If it gets too much, give me the signal and I’ll get you out of there.” I wink at her before settling my eyes back on the road.

She chuckles. “What sort of signal?”

“How about you tug on your left ear and give me a wink with your right eye?” We both burst out laughing and I think it was exactly what she needed to calm herself down.

“Thanks. I needed that.” She shuffles the gift bag sitting between her feet on the floor, a crease forming between her sculpted eyebrows. “Do you think Lachlan will like his present?”

“He’s going to love it. But I have to warn you. He won’t be overly demonstrative about how much he likes the gift. It’s just the way he is.” I glance across at her. “He’s on the Spectrum, which means he responds differently to things.”

She waves away my warning. “That’s okay. All kids are different. Ethan never liked people making a fuss over him. When he was little, he would cry whenever we sang happy birthday.” She chuckles a little at the memory. “I think we all have our idiosyncrasies; not everything has a label.”

I love that view. Mona always had awful things to say about Lachlan whenever she spent time with my family and I would have to remind her to keep her opinions to herself. I can’t, for the life of me, work out why in the hell I stayed with that woman.

“Tell me. What was it like having a younger brother that much younger than you?” She doesn’t open up and talk that much about her family so I hope I haven’t overstepped.

She takes a deep breath. “It was wonderful. I was old enough to appreciate him and his different stages. Though, I remember it didn’t impress me when he’d wake up during the night for a feed, but I soon learned to sleep through the noise. I used to love it when Mom would let me sit on the couch and cuddle with him when he was a newborn. Even though he was tiny, he was a chubby baby. He’d look up at me with his big inquisitive eyes and wrap his fingers tight around my finger. When he was a little bigger, he would suck on my nose.” Her eyes are full of love and her smile confirms it’s a happy memory for her. “I remember when he first started eating solids. The stinky smell of his diaper.” She scrunches up her nose as she giggles and my heart soars to hear her laughing as she remembers her brother. “Jack used to pretend to faint.” Her dimples are deep, and her eyes are sparkling with joy. Jack sounds like he was a terrific stepdad to Molly. I only hope her biological dad can be equally terrific.
