Page 78 of Make Me Whole

This time, he was the one laughing.

“Let me check,” he said between chuckles and bent over me until his head was in line with my pussy. Prying my legs open, he looked, licked my folds, and then shook his head. “Nope. Just you and me mixed together. No oil. Darn it.”

“Jeez, Max . . .” I muttered, chuckling and loving this fun moment. It was what I always thought post-sex should be like but never had with Eli.

He leaned his head against my thighs. “Talking about surprises, was that it?”

Eyebrow scrunched, I rearranged myself so that my head also rested on his legs. A little confused, I asked, “What?”

“Was the sixty-nine the surprise?”

A cloud of butterflies flew in my gut.

“No. That was your idea. I was just planning to blow your brains out.”

Max raised his brows, eyes wide. “Good thing I suggested the other thing, then. Much better option.”

I tilted my head, confused again, but then what I said registered. Nerves made me cackle a little excessively, unhinged even, but Max didn’t seem to mind or notice. He just watched me and tried not to laugh as well.

Once I finally stopped, I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye and bit the corner of my bottom lip. “That didn’t come out right, did it?”

“I hope not,” Max agreed with an amused shake of his head.

I laughed again, a little more controlled this time. “What I meant to say is that my plan was to blow you until your brains came out.”

Silence filled the room. He tilted his head. I scrunched up my face.

“That wasn’t any better.” He shook his head. I tried again. “I planned to blow you until your brains blew?”

Max narrowed his eyes and finally started laughing.

“Jeez . . .” I muttered and covered my face with my hands, mortified by my inability to speak. “The plan was to suck your dick real nice. There. Simple. Gah . . .”

My groaning made Max laugh harder. I covered my face with my hands. “You just gave me two orgasms and licked my pussy out of nowhere. There’s only so much a woman can take before she becomes stupid, and I’m afraid I’ve reached that limit. Thanks for that.”

“Literally, my pleasure.” He reached over and pulled my hand from my face. I opened one eye to look at him, and he winked at me. “I’m always here to make you dumber. In fact, I could kill some of your brain cells right now, if you want to.”

I looked and saw that he did, in fact, have a semi going, but I still pulled some of his leg hairs which made him yelp then laugh harder. “One, don’t be a jerk. Two, seriously impressed by your stamina. How can you go again after all that, I’ll never know.”

He playfully swatted the side of my ass. We both laughed so hard my belly hurt.

Then, he shifted so he was lying next to me and softly asked, “What’s my surprise, Sky?”

“It’s something important,” I said, teasingly. “And life-changing. But I need to get to the nightstand for the full effect.”

Max cocked a brow in a salacious way. “There are props?”

I shook my head as I untangled myself from him and crawled toward the nightstand. “Does your head ever leave the gutter?”

“Sometimes. Usually, when the kids are involved, but never when I’m alone with you.” I bit my lips and shook my head, just imagining what his face would look like when he realized kids were, in fact, involved in this prop. Before I said anything or even reached the nightstand, however, he added, “Talking about kids, I have something important and life-changing to tell you as well.”

I raised my brows and looked over my shoulder at him. It did not surprise me to see his eyes focused on my ass. “Oh, yeah?”

“Yep.” Max nodded. “After telling three bedtime stories, I stopped outside the kids’ room to take a breath and heard them talking through the closed door. Aiden asked Ella if our day today was what a normal family feels like, and she said she didn’t know because herfather Eli—literally how she referred to him—never had fun with the two of you and never read her a bedtime story.”

My brows tugged together in sad confusion about where he was going. Though her feelings were certainly important, I had heard my daughter’s sadness over her father enough times to not consider it life-changing.

But then he continued, and it all made sense.
