I fall forward, grasping her tit with one hand and balancing with theother. Kissing and nibbling at her neck, I can’t get close enough. I’m rutting her like a wild animal, wanting to consume her so she only knows me. Feels me. For the rest of her life.
“You’re everything to me. Don’t ever leave me again, CJ. I mean it, I won’t make it without you.” I feel myself coming unhinged and I don’t care. With her, I can lose myself. I don’t have to be the stoic Adam my family and business expects. I can let my guard down with her.And the best part about that? I want to.
I untie her hands, quickly slide out of her and flip her around, so she can ride me as I fall under her. I need to see her face, look her in the eyes. “Watch me fuck you CJ. See me, I’m not going anywhere. You and Dominic are mine.”
I growl out the words realizing something snapped inside me earlier. Hearing her saying she wants my ring. Hearing her say she wants me. I need to finish this. We need to get to the end, and I need to be the man she and Dominic need me to be. I need to set my priorities straight and they’re it. I have to learn to adjust and do it quickly.
“We want to be yours, Adam. I came back for you. There’s never been anyone but you.”
Hearing her sweet voice, breaks me. I slam into her from underneath, thrum her clit and watch my woman come. “Fall apart on my dick, Peaches. It’s yours.”
Chapter Thirty-Six
CHELSEA
“Hey girl, you ready?”
“Yea, just grabbing my purse. Let’s go!”
Francesca is standing in my doorway while I grab my stuff and get out the door on time. We’re heading to the bridal shop for alterations on my dress and hers. Closing the door behind me we make our way down the walk and get into her car.
“Fill me in on all things wedding. I know we’re meeting with the florist tomorrow, right?”
“Yes, I need you guys there so we can pick bouquet arrangements.”
“Sounds fun, count me in.”
“How’s my nephew?”
“He’s great. Spending the day with Daddy today.” I smile a big cheesy smile. “And getting spoiled by your brother.”
She snickers. “Which one?”
“Well, Billy is his favorite, I think.You should haveseen them the other day. Billy was babysitting so I could run to the store, and when I came back, I caught Adam watching them chase each other around the back yard, through the back window. Dom was laughing his little head off every time Billy let him catch him. He wore him out pretty good, so I was happy.”
“I bet you were. Early to bed for baby means late night for mommy and daddy.”
She nudges me and I just roll my eyes. I’ve never talked about our sex life, and not just because it’s Chess’s brother, but I think our intimate details are our intimate details. There’s nothing wrong with sharing, Britt sure loves to, but I’ve always kept it close to my heart.
“How’s it going with you guys anyway? You two looked happy at the coach’s dinner.”
“We are. I think we’re falling into a good routine. I see a change in Adam. He still works a ton, but any free time is spent with us. Or him alone with Dominic. I think it’s important they make that bond now, since I sabotaged it at the start. Dominic needs his father.”
“Why is Dad packing his suitcase? Is he going on a trip?”’
I don’t know how to answer my sister. He’s going on a trip, but it’s one way. He won’t be back, and I can’t believe he’s actively packing and collecting items to leave. It’s not a spur of the moment decision where he storms out. My father is making an active choice to leave us.
I watch him push past my mother and go into the bathroom, collecting his razor kit and a couple towels. This whole scene is strange. He’s calm, resigned to the fact he’s leaving. My mom is crying silently so as to not upset us, but I see it. I know. He’s choosing something, someone else.
“He doesn’t want us anymore, does he?”
I tuck my sister into my arm and let her bury her face in my neck. “I want you, Addy. It’s going to be me and you, for always. If everyone else leaves us, we’ll still have each other. In fact, we’ll leave them before they leave us. Ok? We’ll never let anyone hurt us by leaving, again.”
“Chelsea Jo, you need to stop beating yourself up, okay? It’s not for us to judge why you did what you did. If you and Adam worked it out, it’s good enough for us. All of us. Please believe me that we are just happy you are here, and beyond thankful for the little boy you brought home to us.”
When am I going to get over this? I need to move on. I need to realize I am home now, where I am meant to be, with people who want me.
Francesca squeals as we pull into the parking lot of the dress shop, pulling me from my thoughts. I send Adam a quick text, checking in, seeing if Dominic has him going down the slide with him yet. Pocketing my phone, I climb out of the car, and we head inside.
