I turn the knob and guide Bella into the house with my hand on the small of her back. Instantly, I’m blinded, disoriented by the dozens of people chanting my name and clapping.

What the hell?So much for a small gathering.

Bella curls in on herself, her hold on my fingers tightening as a quiet “Oh” escapes her.

“I didn’t know she invited so many people,” I mutter, squeezing her hand.

“It’s okay.” Bella gives me a small smile and closes the door.

It’s not okay. Audrey should’ve warned me the party would be so big. She always does this, and I get wanting to celebrate, but I specifically told her I wanted something small.

When I finally close thedoor of the guest room at three a.m., I’m exhausted yet still a bit hyped. I tried to confront Audrey, but Mom intervened, insisting that my emotions were heightened after the game and reminding me that my sister did it because she’s excited for me.

So, I let it go. But if it happens again, I won’t let anyone shut me up. I don’t need my big sister’s protection, and I’m over her meddling. I haven’t been a little boy for years, but she has a hard time accepting it.

“I’m beat.” Bella drags herself to the bed and slumps onto it. “Today was too much.”

“You’re right.” I plop down beside her.

“What were you and Audrey talking about? She looked hurt.”

Thankfully, Bella didn’t hear our conversation. She had run to the restroom, and by the time she returned, our talk was over, though my sister continued huffing, complaining I ruined her mood.

“I just told her a small gathering means a small gathering. Blindsiding us like that wasn’t okay. I didn’t need a party, and I didn’t want to see all those people. Hell, I barely know most of them.” I yawn loudly. “I had so many plans for tonight…for you and me.”

“We have all the time in the world, Xander,” she murmurs, turning onto her belly. Her eyes are sleepy, and a soft smile plays on her lips. She inches closer, kissing me slowly before she leans away. “Sometimes, these little moments mean more than big gestures.”

“I know,” I chuckle, my eyes growing heavy. “I don’t think I have the energy to get up and wash my face, let alone take my clothes off.”

“I feel the same way.”

I haul Bella to my chest and bury my face in her hair. Yes, my plans to make love to her are ruined, but falling asleep with her in my arms feels just as good.

Bella stirs in her sleep,her pretty ass rubbing over my groin and instantly making me hard. Within seconds, she rolls over, tangling her legs with mine.

“I want you.” Her hot breath fans over my face.

My lips tremble as a smile forms. “I want you too.”

With one warm hand, she pops the button on my jeans and lowers the zipper. When she palms my cock, tingles dart up my spine. For a moment, she moves her hand, jerking me off with her hand down my jeans. Then, once I’m completely at her mercy, she pulls my jeans and my briefs down, freeing me.

The second she takes my dick inside her warm mouth, I’m a mess. I rake my fingers through her hair, relishing the softness as she swirls her tongue around my crown. An erotic moan escapes her lips, making my balls tighten. She works me over, taking me deep before swirling her tongue over my head again and again as stars flicker across my vision. She’s not just giving me a blow job, she’s making love to my dick, and I’m in fucking heaven.

“Bella,” I moan. “Please, don’t stop, baby.”

She deepthroats me in earnest, squeezing my balls. I want to last, but my restraint is so thin already. I’m in her possession, whimpering and rolling my hips, fucking her throat while fisting her hair as if it’s the anchor keeping me on this Earth, keeping me sane.

I come hard and intense, my whole body stiffening as I let out a guttural groan. Bella doesn’t stop. She strokes my shaft, sucking my head and licking my cock clean. This girl… There’s no escape from my feelings for her. Every day, I fall more in love.

She’s in my blood, in the air I breathe.

She’s everywhere.

The curtains are closed, but from the natural light coming in around them, I’d guess it’s early morning.
