“Right.”

“Enough of this shit, why haven’t you answered my phone calls?” Bryce asks.

“Been busy,” I reply as Dalton walks into the room in just my T-shirt with coffee, her hair up and eyeglasses on. I put my finger over my lips for her to be quiet. I then tell my dick to chill out because, fuck, she looks hot.

“Doing what?” Bryce asks.

“Nothing you need to know about.”

Dalton slides in the bed beside me, putting the coffee down on the side table after she takes a seat. She slips down in the covers and wraps her leg around mine as she runs her hand across my stomach.

“Why the fuck not?” Bryce says.

“Look, you don’t need to know everything I do. Y’all have fun. We’ll talk when you get home. Harrison, don’t let Darrell Downer ruin your time.”

I hear Harrison snicker and Dalton does, too.

“Yeah, fuck you,” Bryce says lightheartedly. I miss him. And I wonder how long I’m going to be able to keep this secret up. I hang up and put my phone down on the table. Dalton kisses my neck, and my cock has a mind of its own.

I move on top of her. I got a shower and brushed my teeth earlier before crawling back in here with her. She had an unopened toothbrush.

“I always buy two,” she says when I look at her questionably.

I narrow my eyes.

“Jace. No one has been here but you. I told you about me and relationships.”

I remember what she said about her not having time for them that night on my balcony.

Part of me wonders if she’s going to have time for me.

I kiss her lips, tasting cinnamon on her tongue. “How did I get so lucky?” she murmurs, pulling back. “How did you forgive me after everything I’ve done?”

I reach down and slide my hand under my shirt, grabbing her breast as she runs her fingers down my back. Her legs are spread, and her skin is warm.

“I forgave you because I love you. Because I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it.” I pull myself out and easily slide inside of her. She moans into my mouth as I rock.

Morning sex.

It’s everything I thought it would be with her.

She’s everything.

Her hand runs through my hair as she lifts her hips. I rest on my elbows, digging my feet into the bed, dying at how good she feels.

“I love you,” she says.

I know she does. I feel it through and through. She’s had a tough life, nothing like I thought before, but she hasn’t seen anything like me. I’m going to make sure she has a reason to smile every day.

She leans up, wanting to be on top. She slides down on me and I shut my eyes, helping her move her hips. I open them back up and watch her face as she rides my cock.

“Take the shirt off,” I say, wanting to see her tits. She lifts it and tosses it onto the floor. I run my hand over her chest and down her stomach. Her hair’s falling, her eyeglasses still on.

And when she comes, I feel it.

And I know, no matter what, I can’t ever lose this.
