Marvin and his wife were having a birthday party for their five-year-old and had invited a bunch of people over.
“Did you get a gift?” Tamika asked.
“Not yet. I’ll pick one up on the way there.”
He placed the leftovers in the refrigerator and then turned to face Tamika, who was bent over the dishwasher. His loins stirred as he watched her, but he pushed back the instinctive desire to curl his fingers around the back of her neck and bend her over the island. He could easily drag down those little shorts and screw them both into ecstasy.
Tamika placed the last glass inside and then straightened. She glanced around the kitchen, rubbing her hands together as if dusting off crumbs. “That looks like everything.”
“Come with me,” Anton said.
“To the birthday party?”
“Yes.” He walked over and crowded her against the corner. He kissed her cheek and her neck.
“Marvin invitedyou.”
“I’m sure he won’t mind if I bring a guest. I want you to come. I want you to meet my friends. You don’t want to come?”
“Yes, of course, but… I was waiting for you to ask.”
He stepped back a little and studied her. “You’re an important part of my life now, Tamika. There’s never a question of whether or not I want you with me. Ialwayswant you with me.”
“Yeah?” She stepped into him and wrapped her arms around his waist, bringing their bodies flush against each other.
“Yeah.” Anton settled his hands on her soft bottom. “I want to get you out of these shorts so bad.”
“I can tell.” She cupped his hard-on under his jeans.
He reached behind her and turned on the dishwasher and then started walking backward and pulling her with him, arms securely around her body. “You’re gonna let me?”
“I have emails to check and bookkeeping to do.”
“Do them later, after I’m done.”
“After you’re done doing what?”
Anton easily lifted her and she flung her arms and thighs around his body.
“After I’m done making you scream my name.”
“I thought you were tired.”
“I’m never too tired to make love to you.” Then he captured her mouth and kicked the bedroom door shut.

The birthday party was in full swing by the time Anton and Tamika walked around the side of the house to Marvin’s backyard.
Kids were playing in the bouncy house while being supervised by one of the parents in attendance, and a clown and his assistant painted faces and made balloon animals.
“Hey! You made it!”
A slender woman with a protruding belly and a toddler on her hip approached them.
“Hey, Erica, how are you doing?” Anton said.
“Tired,” she laughed.
