John tucked his phone away. “Got the order placed. It should be here in about thirty-five minutes.”

I leaned my head against Max. “So what do we want to do until the pizza gets here?”

We all looked around at one another before Rupert turned to face the porch.

“Want to sit outside without fear of being picked off?”

And the four of us couldn't dash outside to the porch table quickly enough.

I tossed the last of the beer bottles into the trash can as snores came from the living room. I brushed my hands off on my jeans and walked into the room, chuckling at the sight. Granted, it was almost four in the morning. So it didn’t shock me one bit to see everyone passed out. Dani was on the sofa with her legs tucked against her and a blanket pulled up to her chin. Rupert was asleep upright in the recliner with his chin against his chest. I heard John’s honking snores all the way down the damn hallway, pulling in the curtains from the other side of the house. And as I walked over to the recliner, I drew in a deep breath.

For once, I felt at ease.

I put the feet up on the chair and leaned it back, which stopped Rupert’s snoring. I took the blanket off Dani and tossed it over him, knowing damn good and well the man would be passed out until noon at least. Then I walked over and gazed down at my beautiful, wonderful woman.

I smoothed her hair away from her face, dipped down, and scooped my arms underneath her. I lifted her into the air, holding her closely against my chest. I was still wide awake. More so from excitement than anything else. For my entire life, I had walked on eggshells because of my father. I jumped at every little sound because I wondered if he was coming for me. For years, I had kept my guard up, always questioning things and always wondering if people around me were in cahoots with him. And now, for the first time in my life, I had no worries on my shoulders.

It was something I wanted to celebrate.

“Here we go,” I murmured.

I kicked the bedroom door closed behind me and felt Dani stirring against my chest. I walked over to the bed and settled her down just as her eyes fluttered open. She drew in a deep breath, curling deeper into me. And as I pulled the comforter up her body, I kissed her forehead.

“Go back to sleep, gorgeous. You’ll need your strength for the morning.”

Her hand clapped against the back of my neck. “What if I have my strength now?”

Before I could respond, she pulled my lips down to hers. She commanded my presence, taking what she wanted as my cock lurched against my jeans. I leaned into her kiss, feeling our tongues colliding as I willingly granted her entry. Her hands threaded through my hair, clinging to me as she tugged me onto the bed. I climbed on top of her, wanting nothing more than to sink myself into her glorious curves and lose myself in her wetness.

Her nails dragged down my jacket. I sat up and slipped it off, tossing it to the side. I ripped my shirt off and dropped back down, my lips falling to her neck. Our clothes came off in a tired flurry of stunted movements and giggles. We rolled around like virgins, struggling to get the blanket away from our feet as our clothes tripped us up.

“Stupid panties,” she hissed.

I chuckled. “Such a hassle. Might as well not wear them.”

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

I let out a soft growl. “If we had our own place, you’d never have clothes on.”

“Mmm, I like the sound of that.”

My body blanketed hers as her legs spread wide for me. My aching cock found her pussy lips, and I felt them wrapping me up. Warming me. Slicking me with her juices as Dani kissed my jawline. I rocked against her, feeling my cock working its way to her entrance. She gasped as my tip caught against her opening. I smoothed her hair away from her forehead as her half-hooded eyes met mine.

“Please, don’t ever leave me,” she whispered.

I shook my head. “You’ll never have to worry about that. I promise.”

I captured her lips as I pushed myself in deep, swallowing back her moans. I pinned her wrists above her head, opening her body as her tits fell against my chest. Our hips bottomed out together. I felt her walls crying out for mercy. My cock thickened, spreading her more as she wiggled and groaned against my lips. I slowly drew back, feeling her arousal leaking down my balls. Oh, so wet for me. A heady sensation sent electricity sizzling up my spine.

“My God, you feel so good,” she moaned.

I kissed her puckered nipple. “Not as good as you feel. Trust me.”

I sucked her pert peak between my lips and licked. She jumped against me, moaning into the room as I slammed my cock back into her body. She groaned as I pulled back out, only to do it again. My tongue taunted her tits. My cock stuffed her full. My hands pinned her down while her walls clamped around my girth.
