The next two hours, we drink and laugh. It’s been great getting to know them better. It really is impossible not to laugh when you are around them. Keith comes back to the table with a tray of shots. He passes one out to everyone and even gives Maddie one filled with water. I figure I’m feeling tipsy enough to make a toast. “I’d like to say something.” They all look at me. “I want to thank you for welcoming me to New York and into your lives.” They raise their glasses. “Cheers.” We all throw the shot back, but Keith picks up his beer.

“Alright, I want to make a toast. Thank you for being the best group of friends anyone could ever have. For being there for me, when I’m here, and especially, when I left. I left here feeling so confused, but damn, I came back happier than I’ve ever been. You welcomed Mel without even blinking an eye. That’s the kind of friends you are. I love you all. Mel, I fucking love you with my whole heart.” Everyone says cheers, but I keep looking at him. How the fuck is this real life? I feel like it’s too good to be true. He finally notices I’m staring at him, and he tilts his head. “What’s up? You alright?” I don’t even say anything. I just lean over and kiss him. Not just a peck, I kiss the shit out of him.

“Fuck yes! This is so much better than the cheesy ass toasts. Grab a tit, Dickhead.” Everyone laughs, except Keith.

“Young, shut the fuck up.” He throws back his beer and laughs.

“What? I was getting into the moment. Who is ready for it?” They all laugh, but I look around a bit confused. “Mel, you ready for your initiation?” I swallow nervously, but even Keith is laughing at this point.

“Umm, I guess.” He gives me a wink and wraps his arm around Maddie. Oh shit, it better not be sexual. I’m all about trying new things, but with Keith, just Keith.

“Truth or Dare?” I’m a fucking moron. I smile and look him straight in the eyes.

“Dare.”

“Oh, I fucking love you already.” I throw back the rest of my drink because I have a feeling it isn’t going to be an easy dare, especially with the cocky smirk on his face. “I dare you to stand up and start singing, but not just any song. I dare you to sing I Touch Myself by Blondie.” I look at him with wide eyes. Oh shit, this is much worse than I thought. Everyone is laughing, and I don’t want to back down from my first dare, especially from Young. I clear my throat a few times.

“Mel, don’t feel like you need to do it. You can always pass and do truth.” I look at Keith and see him smiling at me. Fuck that, I’m doing it. I look at Young and smirk.

“You’re on.” They laugh, and I hear a few ‘oh shits’ while I stand up. I have a horrible singing voice, but fuck it at this point. I swallow down my nerves and close my eyes. I start to sing, and it isn’t very loud at first, but when I get to the chorus, I open my eyes and belt out the lyrics. By the time I finish the chorus, I smile at Young and sit down. Damn proud of myself too.

“Holy fucking shit.” I laugh at Kenz and give her a high five when she sticks out her hand. Maddie and Becca do the same, and I sit back with a smug smile.

“Mel, you made me want to touch myself. That was fucking amazing!” I continue to laugh and turn to look at Keith. He is just staring at me.

“What?” He grabs my hand and pulls me up.

“Thanks for the welcome back drinks, guys, but Mel and I are going to head home.”

“Wrap that shit, Dickhead, or you will have a baby Dick before you know it. Ouch!” Maddie punches him in the stomach right as we head toward the door. Once we get outside, I stop and look at him.

“What’s wrong? Why are we rushing out of there?” He cups my face in his hands and kisses my lips.

“I can’t take it anymore. It was hard enough watching you toss your head back laughing, biting your lip listening to the stories, and the accidental touches. But when you got up and sang that song, I couldn’t help but picture you touching yourself. Now, sweetheart, I need to.” Fucking finally. He doesn’t say anything else. He grabs my hand and leads me home. Home.

We get into the apartment, and he leads me straight to the bedroom. He lets go of my hand and moves to flip on the lamp on his nightstand. He looks up at me with an incredible heat in his eyes, a heat I haven’t seen in far too long. It makes my already aching body yearn for his touch. I start to move toward him, but he shakes his head. “Strip. Take everything off but your sexy ass panties.” I feel myself dripping with need. I don’t know how sexy I can make this with a cast on, but I’ll sure as fuck try. I slowly pull my arms out of my dress and let it pool at my feet. Keith pulls his shirt off, drops it to the floor, and then does the same with his jeans. My body is actually tingling at this point. I reach behind me to unclasp my bra, and Keith does the fucking sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. He begins to touch himself. I don’t know if it was because of the song or just the need for relief, but holy shit. He is staring at me, rubbing his cock through his black boxer briefs. Once I have my bra open, I let it fall off me to join my dress at my feet. He hasn’t moved; he is just slowly stroking himself, taking in every inch of me. “Get on the bed, Mel. On your back.” I slowly make my way to the bed. Every step I take, I can feel the aching need in my pussy. I climb on the bed and lie down on my back. Before I even have time to think, he is climbing up me. Just his body heat is making me pant. He gets between my legs and looks up at me. “You need to tell me what position this isn’t going to hurt, but first I need to taste you.” He gently pulls off my panties and tosses them aside. He runs a finger between my folds, causing me to arch off the bed. I feel like he hasn’t touched me in forever. It is all so overwhelming. He brings his finger to his mouth and licks it clean. “So fucking sweet.” I can’t help but moan. Everything he does makes me burn with need. He moves closer to my pussy and I feel his tongue. He doesn’t take it slow and begins lapping at me.

“Holy shit, Keith.” He sucks my clit into his mouth, making me almost come undone, but he releases it too quickly. He then roughly slams two fingers into me and begins fucking me. “Oh God, it feels so good.” I have my head tossed back, and I reach up to massage my breasts at the same time he assaults my clit with his tongue. It’s too much, it’s not enough. My body is shaking, ready to fall over the edge, and that’s when he nips my clit. I scream out his name as my body takes control, throwing me over the edge. He continues to lick at me until I have ridden out the extremely long orgasm. When I finally return, I open my eyes and see him rolling on a condom. He looks at me and licks his lips. You would think after that intense orgasm I’d be done, but this man makes it impossible.

“Get on your hands and knees.” I don’t even question him. I just do as I’m told. Once I’m in that position, he sinks his fingers into my ass. “I can’t be gentle, Mel, you need to tell me if I’m hurting you.” I nod my head, but he slaps my ass, hard. “Tell me.”

“I’ll tell you if you are hurting me.” He takes no time at all, and he slams into me, filling me completely. “Mmmm, oh yes!” He starts moving, fast and hard, digging his fingers into my hips. I can feel myself getting close already. His piercing is hitting me over and over in just the right spot. It is fucking amazing.

“Fuck, Mel, you feel so good. Your pussy is wrapped tight around me. I’m not going too last long.” Me either, baby, me either. He only picks up speed at this point, causing me to scream and moan with every thrust. “That’s right, sweetheart, feel me.” And I do, I feel every part of him from his hands bruising me in the best possible way, to his balls slapping against me, to his massive cock stretching me perfectly. I can feel myself tightening around him and he can too because he reaches around and rubs my clit, causing me once again to free fall. This orgasm is so strong, and it continues on forever. He is picking up speed again, and I know he is close. He slams into me one last time before growling my name. He slowly rides out his orgasm, buried deep inside me. Once we both have ourselves under control, he gently turns me around so I’m lying on my back again. Even though my ribs are sore as shit, I would do it again in a heartbeat. He climbs up me, kissing a path the entire way, until he is staring into my eyes. “You are the love of my life, Mel.” He gently wipes away a tear off my face.

“You are the love of my life too, Keith.” We both fall asleep, naked, sated, and completely in love.

The last couple of weeks have just been amazing. Mel and I found a great doctor for her. She is completely healed now. She got her cast off three weeks ago, and thankfully, her hand healed perfectly. The doctor sent her to rehab for it, but since it was so strong, she only had to go a few times. She is back to herself, and honestly, she is happier now. When we first got to New York, she had a blast the first two weeks, but then she began worrying about work. I talked to my captain, and he said he would give her a try after she was ready. When I told her, she was not sure it was something she wanted to do again; considering what had happened to her, I couldn’t blame her. However, after talking about it with her parents, the gang and me, she decided she loved it too much. She’s been working at the precinct for two weeks now, and she fits right in. I like that I get to see her when I work the day shift.

Another concern, probably more for me than her, was me working the night shift and leaving her alone. It’s been working out perfectly though. When I work nights, Connie stays at the apartment with her, which made both of them very happy.

There have been a lot of changes in the last few weeks. Campbell moved in with Kenz, so they still live across the hall, but Maddie and Young moved into a different apartment. They decided they would need more space, and they didn’t want to keep everyone up with the baby. Maddie is doing really well with her pregnancy. She is four months already and really embraced the idea of motherhood. Young, well, he is over the moon excited; however, if he keeps calling this baby his ‘love

child,’ I think Maddie might kill him. Becca also moved out, and she moved in with Jeff. They seem to have a really strong relationship, and I’m damn happy for them. They are perfectly suited for each other. With everyone moving, Mel and I now have the apartment to ourselves, and I fucking love it. I don’t need to worry about anyone walking in if I decide to have sex in the kitchen or living room. Not only that, but it’s really been great just the two of us. Don’t get me wrong, we are all still together all the time; however, it’s nice to be able to go home with just my girl at night.

“Keith, you better get your ass moving.” I snap out of my thoughts and look at Mel. “You are supposed to meet the guys for breakfast so we can start getting ready.” I smile and pull her to me.

“I won’t be late. Is it so wrong to want to spend some time with you before not seeing you for a while?” She laughs and kisses my lips.
