Kenzi stepped up behind me and wrapped her hands around my waist. “So what’s the plan?”
I turned to face her and laced my fingers around her waist. “How about we order in, watch a movie, and then test out those mirrors above the king-sized bed?”
Kenzi pushed to her tiptoes and kissed me on the lips. “In that case, I’m going to get comfortable.”
I was left standing by the bedroom door with an aching need to forget about dinner and a movie, and just throw Kenzi on the bed and satisfy the hard bulge pressing against my jeans. Instead, I walked away and pulled out my cell to call the pizza joint I had saved on my phone.
There was nothing like a thin layer of melted mozzarella cheese to the edge of the crust, smothered on a bed of wonderful tangy tomato sauce. The greasy cheese mixed with the meat and vegetables was orgasmic. Well, almost. The Pizza Barn had the best supreme pizza in Atlanta. And with their quick delivery service, Kenzi and I had our pizza within 20 minutes.
What made this night with Kenzi even more special was just being with her and enjoying each other. It seemed that since we landed in Atlanta, we had one crisis after another. Sitting together enjoying a large pizza was the most normalcy we had in weeks. It was nice.
Looking at Kenzi as she delicately bit into a slice of the pizza, I saw it in her eyes—the stress and the fatigue totally evaporated. And together, sitting on the couch eating a piping hot supreme pizza, we found ourselves taking little notice of the world around us. It was so relaxing to just be together.
Full and satisfied, we sat on the couch in each other's arms. While we enjoyed our wine, we talked about things that seemed normal for us, like our childhood and our favorite bands. More than once we laughed together as we sang our favorite songs—totally out of tune. I wasn’t sure what tomorrow would bring once Margot was here, needing our care. No matter what, I wanted to be there for her and for Kenzi. In a way, Margot reminded me of my mom. I wished they could have met. I had no doubt they would have become good friends.

Kenzi
Laughing with Axe reminded me just how much I loved him. Maybe because of everything that had taken place over the past week, he finally let his shield down and showed his soft side. He had never before allowed me to see this side of him, and in all honesty; I liked it.
Making my way to the small kitchenette, I dropped the empty pizza box in the trash and rinsed the wine glasses before placing them in the sink. I headed back to the living area, where I found Axe looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The skyscrapers that lined the view were breathtaking. I hadn’t realized how much I missed them until now. Even though I lived in Chicago, Atlanta would always be my home.
Axe pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. Together, we stood staring out over Atlanta. There were no words, but we both knew how breathtaking the view was.
It was getting late and tomorrow would be a big day for both of us. Slipping my hands beneath his shirt, I looked up at his beautiful face and said, “I think we should get to bed.”
“You don’t have to tell me twice.” A mischievous grin spread across his face as he kissed the top of my head and took hold of my hand.
I couldn’t help but smile as he led me to the bedroom. We hadn’t reached the bed, and I was already taking off my top and working my yoga pants down my legs. The bed was more than inviting, with the fluffy white comforter and matching pillows. I was exhausted, but not too exhausted to kiss every inch of Axe’s body.
Axe came up behind me and placed several kisses along my neck before enveloping me in his arms. He moved his hips back and forth, and I felt his arousal on my backside. I could smell his masculine scent, wishing I could bottle it for every moment he wasn’t near me. Axe continued to tease the base of my neck as I stared at the bed. I felt my pulse quicken as he moved his hands from my waist and brought them to my bare breasts. I turned to face him and brought my hands up to his sides and placed my lips over his. Craving the feel of his tongue, I opened my mouth for him. He gave me everything I wanted—stroking his tongue with mine.
With one quick motion, Axe scooped me up from the floor and carried me to the bed.The soft, cool comforter cushioned me as he sat me down. His hands were cool against my burning flesh and my nipples ached in response. I arched my back as he reached up, taking my breast into his mouth, mercilessly pulling the aching tip between his teeth, until he heard my breath catch in my throat.
Axe stopped his movements as my moans of pleasure filled the room. “Are you okay, baby?”
“Better than okay.” I replied. I needed him to continue, so I pulled his head back into position so that he could capture my nipple with his mouth and tease it with his tongue.
Slowly, he moved his hand up my ribcage to just below my breasts. My nipples hardened in response, turning into tight beads. The sensation of his lips and tongue on my nipple was so intense, it was like my whole being floated. The familiar sensation began to engulf me, and I felt the sting of need in my stomach. I trailed my hands over his arms, feeling his muscles flex beneath his tight skin. I needed to touch him. He needed to be inside of me.
“Axe, please,” I said, barely recognizing my voice.
“Please what, baby?” The need I heard in his voice matched mine. “Is this what you want?” His hand moved down my body and rested on my mound.
I could feel the heat of his touch against the soft material of my panties, and all I wanted was to feel more. “Yes. Please don’t stop.”
He dipped his hand beneath the waistband, slowly moved them down over my hips and down my legs. I moved my legs, one against the other, until my panties were off. I couldn’t take my eyes off this beautiful man as he quickly pulled his shirt up over his head. As I focused on only him, he lowered the zipper to his jeans and dragged them down his legs until they were free. The minute his body was in view, I couldn’t hold back the need for him I had been holding inside since we left Chicago.
Axe closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, I saw the fire and the desire he had for me. He positioned his body between my legs and lowered his head to my mound. “You are so wet for me.” He inhaled deeply and moaned. “You smell so good.”
His mouth moved between the folds of skin around my opening, and he nuzzled his nose into the strip of hair covering me. His breath was hot against my sensitive nub as his teeth nibbled and licked it, relieving me of the ache that had grown inside me. He spread my knees apart and lowered his head again, inhaling deeply as his fingers probed my opening. My body was on fire and when he hit my sweet spot by circling it with his finger, I could no longer hold on. Every muscle in my body tightened as my release took over.
“I’m going to take you now, because you are so damn hot.”
Axe drew my knees to my waist, forcing my legs to bend. He pressed the blunt head of his cock against my opening, pulling my body toward him. All I wanted was to feel him. I pressed my hands against his hard ass muscles and pulled his hips toward me, hoping I could force his shaft further inside me. I moaned against him and grabbed him with everything I had to pull him deeper. He rocked against me and I let my body take over. After filling me with a few strokes, everything in me snapped and the feeling of another orgasm spread through the muscles of my thighs and legs. Everything in my body pulled tight and I could feel every inch of his cock moving inside of me. When he reached up and gave my breast a squeeze, I knew he was close too, so I stopped. His thrusts increased as he continued to move his hips.
“Please,” I begged him, hoping the sound of my voice would push him over the edge.
