After helping Meghan into the SUV, I pressed Ellie’s back against the passenger door. “I hope you don’t mind that I asked Ryland to hang out at your house while I came to pick you up. I know I could’ve just sent him instead, but I wanted to be the one to drive you home.”
“Heck no, I don’t mind.” Ellie twined her arms around my neck. “I love that you came to pick me up. If you hadn’t, who knows how long it would’ve been before we shared how we felt about each other?”
“Not long.” I captured her mouth in another deep kiss.
She patted my chest. “And Ryland was a good choice since the kids are already comfortable with him.”
“Get a room already,” Dean called as he rolled his vehicle next to us.
“Or a whole house,” Vienna shouted from the passenger seat.
“Yeah, yeah. We’re going,” I grumbled, shaking my head as they pulled out of the parking lot.
Meghan gave me a thumbs-up as I helped Ellie into the front seat. Her excitement over how happy we were together was sweet, and I appreciated the friendship developing between the two women. Meghan wasn’t the kind of person who’d take shit from anyone, and Ellie could use more people like that at her back.
Not that I was worried about someone giving her a hard time when they’d have to go through me to get to her. The days of Ellie having to face her troubles on her own were gone. I wouldn’t let her down the way her ex had. I knew how lucky I was that she’d fallen in love with me, and I wasn’t going to do anything to risk our relationship. Ever.

ELLIE
Ihad never wanted anyone more in my life. The short drive back to my house must have taken only fifteen minutes, including dropping off Meghan at her place, but it felt like an eternity. It didn’t help that while he was driving, Finn’s hand was on my thigh and he was running his fingers on the seam of my jeans, getting closer and closer to my aching pussy without Meghan being aware from the back seat.
The second he pulled into the garage and turned off the SUV, he pulled my face to his in a scorching kiss. I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed him now. I kissed him back, running my hands over his wide shoulders and firm chest. He felt so good.
This man was sexy as sin…and he loved me. All of me. Only me.
His hands ran over my back, one landing on my breast, and he started playing with my hardening nipples. My hands moved down, and I caressed his hard cock over his pants.
“Ellie, if we don’t go inside now, I will take you in this car. While that might be fun, I can’t guarantee that Ryland isn’t going to hear us and come in here to see what’s going on. And I promise that your bed will be much more comfortable.”
“Crap,” I muttered, my eyes going wide. “I can’t believe I forgot your cousin is sitting on my couch right now.”
His cell phone dinged with a notification, and he smirked at me after glancing at the screen. “Not anymore. Ryland just sent a text letting me know he saw us pull up and heard the garage door go up and down, so he’s headed home. Benjamin and Madison are sound asleep in their beds.”
“Thank goodness,” I sighed. “Your cousin is awesome, but it’s already going to be hard enough to sneak up to my room without waking the kids.”
Finn interlaced our fingers and lifted my hand to brush a kiss against my knuckles. “Are you sure you want me to spend the night at your place while they’re here? That’s a big step.”
I took a moment to consider my answer before nodding. “It’s a step I’m ready for, and so are Benjamin and Madison.”
His hand tightened around mine. “I love you so fucking much.”
I didn’t think I’d ever get used to hearing him share his feelings with me so openly, but I was looking forward to getting those three little words from him on a regular basis now that we’d broken the seal. And not biting them back when my heart was full. “I love you, too.”
We both got out of the car, but we didn’t even make it to the garage door before he was all over me again. His arms wrapped around me from behind, his fingers playing with my breasts, and his hard cock pressed against my ass. “One day very soon, I am going to bend you over the hood of my SUV and fuck you hard enough that your neighbors might call the police.”
His words made my knees go weak, and I had to grip his hand tightly as he nudged me into the house. Two steps into the kitchen, and he had pulled my shirt off, gripping it in his fist. By the time we made it to the staircase, my bra had disappeared, and his shirt was long gone.
The only sound was our panting as he used his mouth and free hand to drive me wild. They were all over my tits, squeezing, biting, making my pussy drip with need. He sucked one nipple into his mouth, making me moan and lace my fingers in his soft hair.
He bit down gently, then moved to the other side. After squeezing my butt, his hand moved between my legs to pet my pussy.
“Baby, I can feel how hot and wet you are for me.”
“I need you, now.” My words came out as a soft whine.
“Then get your sexy ass upstairs,” he growled, letting go of me.
