Page 68 of Make Me Whole

“I told Aiden the guy was a stoner,” she explained with an amused brow. “Aiden assumed I meant a person who likes rocks, and I didn’t correct him. And the guy didn’t invite me to anything. He shoved a flier in your son’s face.”

“Oh.”

Her lips curled into a smug smirk. “You were jealous.”

Though it was a statement, not a question, my answer was, “No, I wasn’t.”

“Yes, you were. And it was hot.”

Hmm . . . That’s interesting.“How hot?”

“I-wish-the-kids-were-in-bed-already kind of hot.”

Sky grabbed the tray of s’mores ingredients and winked at me as she left the kitchen. My sex-starved cock instantly reacted to the promise. I knew it was bad parenting, but a part of me sincerely hoped that the kids misbehaved just so I could send them to bed earlier.

Unfortunately, they didn’t. In fact, our fireside dinner and dessert were a blast that went way past the kids' bedtime. By the time Sky and I decided it was time for them to go to sleep, we had made plans for our day at the aquarium and laughed until we cried at the kids’ guesses of what the fish parade would be like.

Since both children agreed they wanted Sky to tuck them in, I got stuck with the dishes. Luckily, there weren’t many, and I finished quickly. I grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses and texted Sky to meet me back at the fire pit.

Outside, I poured each of us a glass and enjoyed a few sips as I marveled at the starry sky above. I always found it a shame that the conveniences of city living deprived us of seeing the beauty of night.Maybe the kids were right. We should look for a house on the island.

“What are you thinking about?” Sky asked from behind my back.

I looked over my shoulder at her. She was still in the sweater dress she’d worn all day, her hair was up in a bun that defined the word messy, and her eye makeup was slightly smudged under her eyes. Still, she looked gorgeous, and I felt like the luckiest SOB alive for having her attention. It made me think, only briefly, about her comment about my jealousy.

“The hotness level of my jealousy.”

She cocked a brow. “Were you really?”

“No.” I chuckled. “I was thinking about caving to the kids’ request and buying a house here for us.”

Sky’s smile softened to the consistency of mush. “I like the sound of that.”

“Of a house on the island?”

She shook her head. “Ofus.”

“Me too.”

We stared at each other as she walked toward me, our gazes filled with a desire as hot as the burning fire in front of us. “Don’t we have some pending business to tend to?”

“We do,” I replied and grabbed her by the waist as she passed me, holding her in place.

Without breaking eye contact, I opened my legs wider and pulled her closer. A hint of a smile curled my little vixen’s lips, and she stuck out her tits, aligning her nipples with my mouth. Desire to lean forward and ravish her while I sank my hardening cock deep in her pussy made my blood boil with need, but we had waited too long to make this sloppy or quick. No, I would take my time and have her begging before I finally gave her a fuck to remember.

“What are you waiting for, then?”

“For your mouth to be a little closer,” I whispered as I pulled her down to my lap.

Ilaughed. Hard. But not for long. As soon as my ass fell onto Max’s lap, his lips covered mine, and all I could think wasOh, my God, this is too good.

Max had always been the type of kisser who could make a girl forget her name, but this kiss was so much . . .more.It was more intense, more meaningful, and much, much more passionate.

Instead of starting off slowly as he usually did, his mouth demanded the level of heat he wanted from the very start. I didn’t object, of course. When it came to heat and Max, I hardly ever did. So I gave myself to him, meeting him fire for fire until we had created our own little inferno.
