Whatever was wrong and off between us earlier is the furthest thing from my mind now. When we fuck, it’s like the rest of the world disappears. It’s just us. And like I’ve told her a million times before, that’s enough for me.

She’senough for me.

“That feels so fucking good,” she sighs, then moves her hand between her legs, rubbing her clit with me powering into her.

Watching her, I’m so damn close to exploding, ready to lose my shit. So close that I’m just about to slow down to avoid finishing too fast, but…

“No, don’t stop,” she begs, and I’m relieved to not have to hold back anymore.

My dick is soaked, throbbing inside her as she pulses around me. Within seconds, I’m filling her pussy, grinding against her ass, giving her every-fucking-thing.

I squeeze her tits, and she arches back, strands of her hair moving with every breath I take. My heart doesn’t settle for a full minute after we finish, but the overpowering urgency I felt before subsides. Now, all I want is to hold her, keep her close, so neither of us moves.

The room is completely silent, and I’m just starting to doze when Blue slips out from underneath the cover.

“Be right back,” she says, and my eyes track her until she disappears inside our bathroom.

She isn’t gone long, maybe five minutes, but I’m not ashamed to say I would’ve missed her even if it’d been fiveseconds.That’s how much I need her, how into her I still am after all these years.

“What?” she smiles, climbing back into bed beside me.

I grab her into my arms, squeezing tight.

“Nothing. Just enjoying the fact that I have the hottest damn wife on the planet.”

She smiles at that, giggling a little when I kiss the side of her neck, and my beard tickles her skin.

“Have a nice time tonight? Hanging out with everyone?”

She sighs before answering, and it feels loaded. “I did.”

“But?”

“But… there were some tense moments.”

The response has me going over all that happened, and what stands out most in my mind is the weirdness withinThe Sterling Triangle. It’s gotten easier to think of it that way than calling itThe Sterling, Tiffany, and Lexi Situation.

My brother… he’s gotten himself in a bit of a bind. More and more, Tiffany is showing him that building a life with her, while also maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship with Lexi, might prove difficult. From the outside looking in, he’s doing everything right—showing Tiffany that he’s all in, being a good father to his son—but I’m realizing circumstances are far more complicated than that.

For starters, he’s still in complete denial that some closure with Lexi might be in order. Otherwise, I have a growing concern that the unresolved feelings between them might be a problem down the road.

But as a guy who just got laid and has the most beautiful woman in the world lying beside him, I’m not in the mood to think about anyone else’s drama right now.

“Just try not to worry too much. Sterling and Lex will work through their shit because Jax is in the picture.”

That’s the only response I give Blue, hoping it helps ease her mind, but the second my eyes fall closed, her words have them popping back open.

“I… wasn’t talking about them.”

Confused, I lie still, waiting for her to say more.

“I was talking about us.Ourtense moment,” she says.

I have the sinking feeling that the perfect ending to a great night is about to go to shit.

“I noticed you were upset, but I’m not sure how or when I pissed you off.”

“I was never pissed off. I was just a little caught off guard,” she admits. “Out of everyone who knows me, I would’ve thought you’d be the one who understood where I was coming from about my dad.”
