Connor cups my cheeks and tilts my head back. I finally blink my eyes open.

“Because you were barely awake, but you came to find me.”

“I needed my big guy,” I say, kissing him deeply.

Connor groans, and I can feel him smile. “Fuck, I love when you call me that.”

“Big guy?”

Connor nods. “Yeah, it makes me smile.”

“Why?”

“You only call me that when you’re happy.”

“You make me happy.” I glide my hands over his biceps. “And you’re so big and strong…”

Connor flexes his muscles beneath my touch. “Oh?”

I nod, moaning softly as I dig my nails into his bulging muscles.

Connor smirks. “Maybe I should get some training in with my dad before we head back to Avalon.”

I lean in, kissing his neck. “Can I watch?”

“You want to watch me train?”

I bite his neck. “Watch my big guy in action? Fuck, yes. And then I want you to fuck me against something.”

Connor groans, snaking his hands around my back. “You are just… You have so much control over me…”

“Control?” The word sparks a flicker of heat in my core,

“Kids! Breakfast in thirty minutes!” Farrah chirps, knocking on the door.

Connor jumps. “Coming!” he yelps, blushing.

“Surely she won’t come in here.”

Connor gives me a look. “She absolutely will, and when we protest, she’ll hit us with a, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before.”

I chuckle, but Connor and I quickly finish in the shower and get dressed for breakfast.

“Nice shower?” Farrah asks, giving us a knowing smile as we sit down at the table for breakfast. I blush and look away, silently cursing myself for not taking the time to dry my hair before we came down.

Connor smiles brightly at his mom and shakes his head, splashing her with water from his wet hair. “Yup!”

Farrah yelps, swatting at him. “Crazy boy.”

Uriel laughs, coming up behind his wife and wrapping his arms around her waist. “Don’t let your mother fool you. We haven’t taken a separate bath or shower in almost two hundred years.”

Connor grimaces, and I smile, enjoying how in love they are.

Luke blushes. “Dad, please.”
