Page 8 of Pulling Heartstrings

“You,” I admit. “I had a feeling something was going to happen today. Cupid.” I lick my lips. “You told me I’d be your Valentine, so I thought maybe today you might show. I also…” I pause as heat rushes to my face.

“Out with it. No secrets.”

“Sometimes in my head I make up fantasies. I’ve been having one about you, Q, losing it tonight at the party and pulling me into your office to have your way with me.” His nose flares.

“Then you were going to be with Cupid after?” I nod. It’s naughty, but what’s a girl to do?

“It’s only fantasies, but sometimes I play them out a bit. Like shaving on the off-chance they become real.”

“So you shaved to be ready for me?”

“All of you.”

“Then I better not disappoint.” He smirks as he drops to his knees in front of me. “This is a fantasy you better get used to. There is no way I’ll be able to have you fluttering around the kitchen outside my office and not drag you in for a taste.”

“Oh gosh.” I love the sound of that.

Cupid buries his face between my thighs, and I gasp at the sensation. My fantasies are nothing compared to the real thing as he licks and sucks, not teasing me at all. We’ve waited long enough.

“So tight,” he groans when he slips a finger inside of me and then another. I already felt his cock pressed against me, and I have no idea how he’ll ever fit inside. I don’t care; I’ll die trying. There is no way I’m not taking every inch of my husband. Cupid pumps his fingers faster, working in another. It’s tight, and the small pinch of pain is erotic.

“Q, Austin…I-I-I can’t.” I shake my head. It’s all too much. I’m coming undone.

“You will, my sweets. Give me my sugar,” he demands before sucking my clit into his mouth, taking long pulls while he strokes his tongue back and forth. When his fingers hook inside of me, I’m done for. I scream out his name as the orgasm assaults my body.

Tears slip free from all the overwhelming emotions that come flooding out. “Sweets.” Cupid kisses me, and when I open my eyes, I realize I’m sitting in his lap. “You with me?”

“I’m always going to be with you. You’ll be lucky if I let you out of my sight.” I sniffle then smile at him through my watery eyes.

“Good, I don’t want to be out of your sight.” I run my fingers down his strong jaw. I can’t believe he’s Austin, but the more I stare at his face, the more I can see it. I trace my finger across his cheek and down his nose.

“I bet if I keep feeding you, you’ll look more like Austin did,” I tease, making him chuckle.

“Maybe, but I think I’m going to get some good workouts in with my wife.” A snort followed by a giggle leaves me. “Fuck me, you’re adorable.”

“I plan to, but…” I trail off, glancing toward the door, remembering there are a ton of people waiting for us. Cupid grips my chin, pulling my attention back to him.

“As much as I want to say fuck it and steal you away, we have our whole lives. I'm going to share a few dances with my wife, eat the cake she made for me, and show you off before I drag you back to our home.” Tears fill my eyes again. I’ve never been so happy in my life. Nick has always been my family, but this is different. This is a family that belongs to me.

“Our home.” I love those words.

“Our home. I know all your dreams, sweets. You’ve told me them all over the years, and while I’ve waited to claim you, I’ve been making them all come true. If you’re impressed with the restaurant I built for you, wait until you see what else I’ve done.” Not one of my fantasies has lived up to the reality of this man.

“I love you,” I tell him, meaning it down to my soul.

“I love you too, sweets.” He stands, putting me on my feet. “No more fantasies for you. I’m making them all a reality.”

Chapter Six

CUPID

“This can’t be real,” Astrid says after I carry her over the threshold of our home.

“I know we’ve talked about it since we were kids, but even then you loved to bake.” The downstairs is an open floor plan designed for a big family. The kitchen looks out into the dining and living room, and beyond is a glass wall with a view of the water.

“It’s big enough for four families.” Her eyes are wide, but her smile is even bigger.

“That’s another thing I know you want and I plan on giving you.” I place her on her feet and cup her face. “Starting now.”
