She sucks a breath through her teeth as I tease her lips. And I know what she’s going to ask me. Which is why I don’t let her get the words out when I fuck her deep and hard on the first thrust. It knocks the air from her, and her mouth falls open before she smiles at me. “If I forget to tell you later, I love you.”

I kiss her plush lips in response. The words travel along my skin like a caress and seep into me, all the way to my soul. Her tongue swipes along mine, and with my cock buried inside of her, I pull out of her slowly and lift her higher. “Wrap those legs around me nice and tight, Peach.”

Doing as I ask, she rests her forehead on mine, whispering, “I missed you.”

My lips nip at hers as I lift her off the counter just enough to pull out of her and tease myself back inside.

She moans against me as I rock back and forth, her hips rolling to meet my thrusts. “That’s it, grind that pussy on me,” I say on a groan, feeling her clenching around me.

“That’s it, Foxx. Eyes on me while I fuck you,” she says between breaths, edging me closer. I can tell with the way her mouth parts and her body tenses that she’s already so close. A sheen of sweat highlights her chest as she keeps the pace of grinding into me, her body bouncing in the most beautiful ways. My dancer. My fantasy.

“My turn now, baby.” I shuffle us to the flat wall, and with her legs still wrapped around me, I use the wall as leverage to glide my hips into her, making sure I rub against her clit with each roll forward.

Her breathing speeds up, and I’m barely holding on when she wraps her arms tighter and quivers in my arms. A drawn-out moan starts soft, but it quickly becomes my unraveling as her pussy pulses around me. “Don’t you fucking stop, Foxx. I want to hear you moan like a man.”

Andthat’sthe woman I’m in love with. Quick to make me fucking kneel for her, see every part of her, and not get lost in the fall. I do exactly as she tells me. On the cusp of her orgasm ending, mine ripples through my body, from the top of my head and down my back, right through my cock as I spill into her.

I moan out so loud that it doesn’t register that the sound came from me, but she smothers the end of it as she kisses me with every last bit of energy we’ve got. I rest my head against her shoulder, my heavy breathing and a delirious smile against her skin.

“You’re going to need to do that again,” she mumbles. She’s still jacked up against the wall with my hips pinning her in place as I drip out of her. “Think you can keep up?”

I chuckle darkly. “Peach, you keep squeezing that pussy, and I’ll be hard again in a minute.” And it’s true, but it’s the sound ofsqueaking brakes from the school bus that has me pulling out of her as I kiss her forehead. I pull my pants up enough so I don’t trip and move to find her leggings.

She smiles at me, leaning against the wall in a daze, looking like a satisfied goddess. “Are you in a rush?”

I shove my semi-hard cock back into my briefs as I button and work the buckle closed on my jeans. Leaning forward, I press a quick kiss to her lips as I tell her, “Yeah, a bit. And you should be too, unless you want my girls to see your tits and bare ass.”

Jolting to awareness, she stands tall and gets moving. “Oh my gosh,” she says through a laugh.

“A hazard of falling in love with a single dad.”

She shrugs her bra back into place and pulls the Led Zeppelin t-shirt on, and then works her legs back into her leggings with a shimmy. As I tug my shirt over my head and shrug it on, she pouts, making me laugh. She helps pull the hem down and kisses me. “Perks,” she says against my lips. “Perks of falling for a Foxx.”

I hear the double doors slide open, and both the girls start talking to our cow. “Dottie, you’re looking awfully sweet today,” and “Hi, Dottie, I think we’re going to need to trim your bangs soon.”

Kit barks out repeatedly, announcing her presence, and barrels down the main drag of the space. I pull Faye’s arm toward me and wrap myself around her.

I didn’t plan much past seeing her and holding her. I couldn’t let myself get too far ahead without knowing for certain she would want this. But right now, I can’t help but ask, “You’re sure this is what you want?”

She tilts her head back to look at me. The noise around us is muted as she drags her fingers along the nape of my neck.

Lark yells out, “Faye! You’re back.”

And Lily follows with a squeal that blends in with Kit’s barking.

She smiles so big that her green eyes squint and that beauty mark gets lost in the creases. “You’re exactly what I want, Foxx.” Her eyes shift to Lark and Lily, who both stand in the archway with goofy smiles on their faces. “You and your girls,” Faye adds, then kisses me one more time before she turns and opens her arms for my girls. “Oh wow, I missed you guys. Tell me everything I missed.”

They start rattling off a roster of things I didn’t even realize happened in the past few days. Apparently, Laney and Hadley are planning a girls-only welcome back party. “There’s a new mix I made for you, Faye. I think it’s the perfect mash-up for when we’re making dinner.” Lark rattles off the songs that made the cut.

Lily talks over her sister. “You timed this perfectly. Tonight is a full moon, and it’s supposed to be pink. And then we can look at all the pink gemstones...Lark, I’m talking.”

Faye looks over at me, and I feel it—that sense of calm. That exhale of contentment that comes when you’ve made enough of the wrong decisions, but somehow find your way to one that feels right.

Chapter 44

Faye

“Faye,”Cortez says, coming in from the garage. “This came for you.” He tosses an envelope at me. “Hey, I’ve got a domestic case. I could use a little assistance in working the neighborhood. They’re not interested in talking with Fiasco PD right now, but they might talk with you.”
