Never breaking our connection, he rolls us over, I’m on my back now, his hips thrusting back and forth. When he grinds himself on me, my head falls back and I moan, “You’re going to make me come.”

“That’s the idea, Sunshine,” he grunts. We move in sync with one another, my hands smooth over his arms until they reach for his shoulders. I gesture for him to bend down, wanting his lips on mine.

He grants me my wish, our lips collide with one another, both of us writhing and on the edge. The way my body locks up, a moan escaping my lips with the way his thrusts get more powerful as we both come together.

“I love you, Mason Carter,” my eyes are locked on his.

“Thank fuck. I love you, Quinn Adams. Now and forever.” I pull him deeper into my embrace and we kiss, it’s long, deep, and filled with so much emotion.

Mason

Quinn telling me she loved me, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Sure, I wanted to be the first one to state that I loved her. One thing I’ve learned about Quinn is that she doesn’t hold back, if she has something to say, she says it. If she feels it deep in her soul, she’ll stop at nothing to accomplish her goals. That’s why I haven’t told her yet, but I emailed the attorney we keep on retainer for our company. Quinn put on a great front while our family was over here, but I could see the underlying stress in her eyes, and if there was something I could do to lessen her burden, well I was going to do it.

John emailed me back, setting up a date and time for Quinn and me to come into his office this morning.

“Quinn, baby. You gotta wake up, we have an appointment today,” I murmur into her ear. I’m dressed in a three-piece suit today, knowing we’ll be meeting with John, but also knowing I have another damn meeting with a company looking to invest with us.

I glide the sheet down her smooth body, she’s completely bare, her curves on display just for me.

“Love you, Mason. Have a great day,” she sighs. I chuckle and then lean down nipping at her neck. My hand smooths down her back, slowly trying to wake her up, “Sunshine, I need you to wake up and get dressed, you’re coming with me today.”

My hand grabs her ass, my palm molding it. Wanting so badly to rip this damn suit off and find my way between her legs again.

“What, I am?” she questions as she rolls over. I groan out loud, “Damn.”

“Why am I going with you?” Her face is soft with sleep.

“Yeah, we have an appointment with the attorney and then I’m dropping you off at the condo. Mom will be there to help you pack.” I state.

“Wow, you sure do know how to pack a punch early in the morning, and without coffee,” a slow smile is starting to show on her face.

“I’m tired of you having to go back and get more clothes, your place is here, beside me. That also means we’ll be going furniture shopping too.” I groan on that last part. There are somethings I don’t mind doing, but I already dread shopping.

“Well, why didn’t you just say so.” Quinn takes the opportunity to jump in my arms, peppering my face with kisses. God damn, what I wouldn’t give to have her naked skin on mine right now.

“I love you Quinn, everything will be alright. I promise you,” I tell her and then leave her to get ready for the day.

Quinn

After seeing Mason dressed to the nines, I asked if we could stop by my condo on the way out. No way was I going to wear a pair of torn up jeans and tee shirt to meet the attorney.

It was a quick detour and gave me the opportunity to dress up, for the first time in forever.

We were in and out in less than ten minutes. The plum colored wrap dress that I paired with black high heels pulled everything together.

“Ms. Adams, nice to meet you,” the lawyer greets me.

“Nice to meet you as well, Mr. Smith,” I reply shaking his hand.

“Please call me, John. How’s it going Mason?” I let the men talk while we walk back to his office, it’s apparent that they’ve known each other for quite some time.

“Have a seat, and we’ll get down to brass tacks. I read over the letter that was mailed to you, then reached out to your agency. Apparently, Greta was recently let go from HD modeling and they were unaware of the letter that was sent to you. They’ve decided to bring this to her attention and go from there. They didn’t state if or when they’d be pressing charges,” he states.
