The line went dead when Flirt hung up. I chuckled, then went from a trot to a run. I needed to get to the house, I suddenly had a shit ton of energy and never felt lighter on my feet. It might take time for the vision in my head to fade, but I wouldn’t let it rule my life.

Flirt was right, Luna was here. Breathing and safe, and evidently, feeling neglected though I’d spent every minute taking care of her for the past week.

When I would’ve stopped in the yard and worked to cool down, I kept going. I caught the door before it hit the wall.

Luna swung around from the sink where she stood with the dog at her feet. We’d only had the animal for forty-eight hours, and she was already attached to Luna. It took some work to get the shelter to let us adopt her so soon after. But the argument that the dog could gain weight just as easily at our house where she would get one on one attention versus living in a shelter swayed them. They examined her, spayed and vaccinated her, then turned her over.

Luna decided the poor dog need a new name, so Karma was now a part of our family. Since keeping her had been what bit Gunther in the ass, it fit.

I skirted the island and stalked toward my woman. Karma raised her head and eyed me.

“Brax, did something happen?” Luna asked and frowned.

“No, everything is exactly as it should be. But I was informed I might be neglecting my woman,” I said as I reached her, then wanted to laugh at the change in her expression.

“You haven—"

“Gonna take my woman to bed. Got a problem with that?” I asked, bent and swept her off her feet. She sighed and laid her head on shoulder.

“I’m down with that.” She sniffed, then raised her head. “But, Brax, sweetie, you need a shower.”

“Damn, I pulled my head out of my ass, and now you want to complain? But I’ll cut you a break since I do need to clean up. You can help me.”

“Oh, well, carry on,” Luna said as I continued through the house with her in my arms and Karma following us.

I climbed the steps, and when I reached our room, I closed the door and plopped Luna on her feet. Karma laid on her new pillow, and I led Luna into the bathroom.

While the water heated, I stripped her down, then removed my own clothes. With us both naked, I wasted no time getting her into the shower.

Enough time with her had been squandered.

I lifted Luna, and she wrapped her legs around my waist, and I stepped into the spray. After the water soaked us, I turned and placed her back against the wall, leaving the water from the shower to run down my back.

Using one arm and the wall to support her, I ran my hand over her hair, then left it behind her head as I bent and took her mouth with mine. I nipped her bottom lip until she opened, and I plunged my tongue in, tasting every crevice with new desperation. I’d never get tired of being with her.

I released her mouth only to travel my lips until I reached the spot below her ear. She tilted her head, giving me better access, and I gently bit then sucked before moving to her shoulder to lick the pebbled water off her skin.

My lips moved across her collarbone to her other shoulder and up, working my way back to her lips. She rolled her hips until my cock was sliding between her center. She was warm, wet, and mine.

I rocked my hips back and forth, hitting her clit with every stroke. A shiver ran through her body, and she moaned around my tongue. My cock ached to be inside her.

Breaking the kiss, I leaned my forehead against hers. “Not sure I can go slow. Want and need you too bad.”

“Take me, Brax. I’m not going to break.”

“Make it up to you in bed, baby,” I said and pushed inside until she took all of me.

Holding her tight, my hips thrusting, I pounded into her until my balls started to draw up.

“Oh my God, I’m close,” Luna panted.

“Me too, baby. Take us there.”

And she did. Rocking her hips, grinding down until she started to climax and her pussy tightened around me. My body shook as I released everything I had into her.

“If running causes this. By God you will run every damn day,” Luna said as she leaned her head on my shoulder as we tried to calm our breaths.

“A week and no sex was the cause. But, baby, talk to me next time if you’ve got an issue with me,” I said.
