Major inches forward just as I press my hand on his chest. “Wait, I have to tell you something.”

Major removes my hand. “Tell me later.”

He presses my back onto the bed, returning his kisses to the bridge of my neck. I listen to his command as I let go and let Major continue his exploration of my body.

Minutes later, he reaches over to his nightstand to grab a condom. He crouches over me and asks, “You’re not going to disappear on me again, are you?”

I shake my head replying ‘no’ and he smiles. He tears the packaging with his teeth and rolls on the rubber just as I slip out of my panties.

Hovering over me, Major eyes me with a fierce power of emotion and lust.

I know this isn’t right. But it’s better when it feels wrong.

Truth

The blaring sound of my cellphone ringer awakens me from a deep sleep. My eyes open to a familiar bedroom and I glance around, hunting for my cellphone. I catch the flashing light from the floor and realize it must have fallen on the ground last night.

Major’s snores echo next to me as I wiggle out of the bed completely naked and tiptoe to gather my phone. I hit the green button as I see Juliette’s name flash on the screen.

With a low whisper, I answer the phone. “Hello.”

Crew’s voice chimes through. “Mommy, are you coming to get me soon?”

Nerves shoot all over my body as I glance back at the bed, hoping Major can’t hear anything. I grab my dress and haul ass to the bathroom before I answer.

With ease, I shut the bathroom door and sit on the toilet. “Yes, sweetie. I’ll be there soon. Everything alright?”

“Yes, everything’s fine. I just want to go home now.”

Just as I’m about to answer, I hear knocks tapping through the door. Major’s voice echoes through with concern. “Dylan, you okay in there?”

Shit.

“Uhhh, yeah be right out!”

“Mommy, who you talking to?’

I whisper into the phone. “No one sweetie. I’ll be there soon. I love you.”

“Love you too.”

I hang up the phone and decide to use the bathroom and wash up real quick. I slip into my dress, not sure if I should remain naked or not. I didn’t really think things through last night and now I’m in some deep shit.

I finish up and exit the bathroom, only to find the bedroom empty. T

aking Major’s hint, I slip back into my panties and pull off my dress, to put my bra back on. Glancing at myself in the mirror, I have that ‘just-been-fucked-hair’ but I could care less right now.

With a deep breath, I step out into the hall to find Major making a pot of coffee. Oh, thank god. I slip into the kitchen and take a seat on a barstool as I watch Major. My eyes travel up and down his body, glancing at his shirtless chest and bare back. Muscles exude from his broad shoulders causing my body to shutter with urge.

“Good morning.”

Major turns, facing me with a smile. “Morning Sunshine.”

I snicker at that stupid nickname as he offers me a mug. “Coffee?”

I nod, “Yes please. I absolutely love coffee.”
