The edge I took off earlier has been expertly sharpened again.
Just the graze of his thumb over my ass cheeks as he puts them into place has me gasping for breath. Shivers wrack my body, and it would take almost nothing to bring me to the point of orgasm.
With a knowing grin, he ties the string of my pants tight enough that he almost cuts off my circulation. His dick is now fully erect as he leans in and brackets me against the kitchen counter.
“Good night, roomie. I’ll see you in the morning.” He calmly drops a kiss on my cheek and walks toward the door, but there’s a definite shake in his voice when he utters his next sentence. “Get ready, Haven, because it’s time. I’m done being friends.”
CHAPTER 16
Alexander
Nothing kills a morning boner like scrolling through a family group chat.
My family in particular.
MILES THE GREAT: Great birthday party tonight, Al. Any of you losers want to meet me in the pub for a nightcap?
THE DUKE: No.
MILES THE GREAT: Anyone?
MILES THE GREAT: Anyone?
THE DUKE: Miles, for fuck’s sake, go to sleep. The pub’s shut, it’s 1 a.m.
MILES THE GREAT: Clem?
CLEMENTINE: No, sorry. I’m falling asleep and turning my phone off. Sleep tight, love you.
MILES THE GREAT: Al, what about you? Where did you disappear to during the party anyway? *winky face*
MILES THE GREAT: God, you lot are boring.
I’m soglad I missed these messages last night. But amazingly, there are only six hours between Miles’s last text and the ones coming through thick and fast right now.
MILES THE GREAT: Morning, campers. Rise and shine. It’s a beautiful day. Anyone want to come for a ride?
MILES THE GREAT: Al, how’s the birthday girl this morning?
I peer over at Everly in her cot, and she’s still fast asleep, like I wish I was.
When I came back upstairs from my midnight session in the kitchen with Haven, she was wide awake and grizzling. So I gave her a bottle before it became a full meltdown, changed her, and she’d already fallen back to sleep before I had the chance to lay her down again. And she hasn’t woken since.
Me? It took me a little while.
I was too wired from kissing Haven and how things would be in the cold light of the morning. If I’m being truthful, I’m still wired. My dick’s no longer rock hard thanks to my siblings, but I’m tempted to get in the shower before I begin daddy duties to take the edge off.
I’m about to toss my phone when it buzzes again.
HENDRICKS: Why are you awake?
MILES THE GREAT: You’re awake.
HENDRICKS: Because I have a five-year-old snoring next to me.
MILES THE GREAT: By that logic, Al’s awake.
MILES THE GREAT: Al?
