“What’d you expect?” I ask as I place a hand under the shower water to make sure it’s warm enough. I pull the blanket off her and lift her into my arms again.

“I can walk, you know?” she giggles.

“Can you?” I tease.

She gives me an exaggerated glare. “You are not being a very good gentleman, Mr. Windsor.”

I laugh as I let the hot water run down her back, allowing her to stand on the warm pebble stone shower floor. She sighs and leans against me.

“I guess I need to make amends,” I reply as I drop to my knees and grasp her thighs, pulling them apart a little so I can lick her folds.

She shudders under my touch and her hands come out to grab my hair.

“How’s that?” I ask.

“Don’t stop, you haven’t made all the amends yet,” she goads. I laugh as I go back to licking her. I add a finger to the mix and work on learning all her little cues. It takes me two minutes to bring her to orgasm.

I stand back up and kiss her. “By the end of the night, you’ll be coming in less than a minute,” I whisper.

“I doubt that,” she says with a raised eyebrow.

“I don’t. If I don’t beat my time, then I’m failing you,” I reply. She laughs and I start to soap us. We get cleaned up, and when I go to turn off the water, she reaches for my hand. “What about you?” she asks.

“Let’s get dried off and then I’m all yours,” I say with a wink. She laughs as I turn off the shower and grab us towels. We dry off and climb into bed.

She leans over and starts slowly moving down my body. She’s licking my length as my head falls back and then I hear a noise.

We both sit up and turn to see a squirming Thor in his box.

“Did I just get blowjob blocked by a one-day-old kitten?” I ask.

She turns back to me. “I mean, Thor needs us and”—she motions to my dick—“well, he’s not going anywhere.”

I give her a pointed look and she smiles sheepishly as she crawls off the bed and grabs Thor, bringing him back up to us. We curl up in bed after I run down to get Thor another syringe of milk.

“You’re going to be a big boy, aren’t you?” Ariana says as she kisses his head.

“I didn’t think we’d become parents so quickly,” I state as I lean over her head to stare down at Thor.

“Well, you know what they say,” she says.

“What’s that?” I reply, giving the top of her head a quick kiss.

“Youcanget pregnant from just one time,” she teases. I tickle her side and she laughs. And I don’t want this moment to end. There’s something perfect about a sleepy, sated, naked Ariana curled up beside me with a warm kitten pressed between us. We talk for hours after we put Thor back to sleep. I don’t dare press her about her past and she doesn’t press me about mine. It’s a perfect night as the wind whips around the farm and the storm finally dies down. I just hope when we learn each other’s entire stories, things won’t change between us.

CHAPTERSEVENTEEN

Ariana

I’m lying in bed while Eric makes breakfast. No one will be here for two more hours, so we slept in a few minutes before Eric said he had to get up and check on the farm and animals. Since he woke me up with his lips on my body, I really couldn’t complain.

I stretch and grab my phone that he brought in for me.

Me: I slept with the boss.

Queen of Hearts, Owner of None: OMG! I need details! (champagne emoji)

Me: I’ll tell you later. But it was AMAZING! Have to get to work.
