I never knew this could be so pleasurable, but I found myself getting lost in the rhythm, sucking and licking and trailing my hands along his shaft.
“Just like that, angel. Stroke it.” He watched my hands work up and down his length and groaned a deep growl low in his throat. My heart jumped. Hearing those sounds come out of him was so sexy. “I’m going to come,” he gasped.
Seconds later, hot jets of semen exploded down the back of my throat and Cade released a low, satisfied groan.
A pleased smile crossed his lipsand he looked down at me with wonder. “Damn baby, you didn’t have to swallow it.” He stroked my jaw with his thumb, studying me carefully.
It wasn’t like I’d had a well-thought-out plan. I’d just done what I needed to do. I wasn’t about to go running for the bathroom, my behind jiggling in his face as I jogged away. No thank you. Besides, it hadn’t been that bad.
He smiled a sleepy grin. “In case you’re wondering…that felt fucking amazing.”
I no longer blanched at his overeager use of the F-bomb, it only endeared him to me more. Cade was all male. There’d be no changing him, no tempering his ways. Maybe it was my strict upbringing, but something inside me envied that. He was comfortable with himself and didn’t feel the need to change.
Warmth flooded my cheeks at his compliment, and I lifted my chin to meet his eyes. He continued tracing lazy circles along my cheek, working his hand behind my hair to massage my neck, not bothering to tuck his softening cock back inside his pants. Since he didn’t care about our semi-nude state, I relaxed into his caresses, resting my head on his thigh.
“That feel good, cupcake?” he whispered.
“Mm-hm,” I mumbled, tilting my head to give him better access for the impromptu massage. His fingers reached nearly all the way around my neck and he used a strong but soothing pressure. I would go down on him every day if it meant getting a massage like this afterwards. I relaxed into his touch and soaked up the loving attention. I didn’t imagine a man as large and rough around the edges as Cade would be capable of such sweet affection.
Several minutes later, and on the verge of falling asleep, I stood and redressed. Cade straightened his clothes, pressed a quick kiss to my lips and then went down the hall, I assumed to check on Lily. Above all else, he was a good big brother, and that was what that really mattered. He had a good heart—I could see that as plain as day.
Unsure of what to do with myself, I gathered up the empty beer bottles and brought them to the kitchen to rinse them out. I set them on the counter by the sink, wondering where he kept the recycling bin, or if he had one at all. Cade entered the kitchen behind me.
“Just leave it. I’ll clean up in the morning.” He pressed a kiss to the back of my neck and I turned to hug him, comforted by his warm embrace. “Let me walk you out. I want to make sure you get to your car safe and sound.”
I didn’t comment that my car was only thirty feet away, I simply nodded and allowed him place his hand on my lower back and escort me to the door. Maybe it had something to do with us sharing chicken wings, and football, and oral sex. Whatever it was that had brought out his protective streak and there was no way I was going to complain.
Chapter 13
Cade
Having Alexa’s willing body that close nearly sent me over the edge. Watching her small hand close around my shaft had sent a throbbing rush of blood to my cock. Was I crazy enough to believe that something would become of this, other than a friendship centered around Lily and the side benefits of worshipping her sweet body once the sun went down? Surely she had to realize that I didn’t fit into her life, not by a long shot. But for as long as we were stepping into the alternative reality where we both got what we needed from each other, I’d take what I could get, for as long as I could have it.
That night I fell asleep to the memory of Alexa’s gentle voice reading from Lily’s favorite book, and the way she animated the voices of each different character to make Lily chuckle. With a sleepy smile planted on my lips, I rolled over and fell asleep.
On Saturday Alexa called and asked if she could pick up Lily for a girls day out. After I recovered from my stunned silence, I’d agreed. This girl continued to level me. It was like she knew the way to my hardened heart was through Lily. Maybe I never considered a serious relationship before because no one had ever shown an interest in developing a relationship with Lily too. Once they found out about my sister, they usually bailed. And while I’d never let anyone else take Lily out, I trusted Alexa because I knew she’d keep her safe.
An hour later, Lily chanted Lexa’s name as she watched the little BMW SUV pull up alongside the curb. We met Alexa on the sidewalk. “So what are you girls up to today?”
“Well, I was thinking I’d leave it up to Miss Lily. We could have a beauty day at the spa, or we could go to this fun place where you get to choose a ceramic figurine to paint and take home.”
“Yeah!” Lily’s face lit up and I’m awed by her smile.
I chuckled softly. “Which one, baby doll? You have to choose.” Alexa’s generosity was too much as it was.
Lily’s face scrunched up in concentration for a moment before she looked up at Alexa with hopeful eyes. “Can we do both Lexa?”
Alexa grinned that crooked smile I’d grown so fond of and nodded. “We sure can, sweet pea. Today’s your special day.”
I helped buckle Lily in the backseat and placed her walker in the rear cargo space, then met Alexa at the driver’s door. “You sure you’re okay with this?”
“Absolutely. Go enjoy your Saturday. Just keep the booty calls to a minimum.” She patted my chest.
Confusion spiked through me. That’s not who she thought I was, was it? But the twitch on her lips told me it was a joke. I smiled too. “Will do.”
I stood on the sidewalk and watched them drive away, only turning back to the house when they were out of sight. In that car was the little girl who owned my heart and the beautiful Alexa who was pulling it in an entirely new direction.
I took advantage of the rare opportunity for an extra gym session with Ian, but coming home to an empty house felt too weird. After an hour of aimless pacing and puttering around I decided to call Alexa and check on them, you know, just to make sure everything was going okay, not at all because I was bored. I dialed her cell and she answered on the first ring.
