He stoically nods once, then quickly stills, resembling a statue.

She boldly strides to him, squares her shoulders, and extends her hand. “My name is Violet Holt. I go by Lettie. I’m your daughter.”

With an aching slowness, he shakes her hand, but it’s so timid and unsure that it nearly breaks my heart for her. He’s not rejecting her, but he’s also not buying in straight away.

No one speaks.

Not Big Al or Lettie or even Tomer.

Until the loosest tongue in the room breaks the tense silence like only he can.

In an oddly British voice, Sawyer singsongs, “Congratulations! It’s a girl!”

The sweetest reward

“Good night, Ma,” I whisper before closing her door and engaging the alarm sensor.

After brushing my teeth, I join Mia in the bedroom. With my first glimpse of her, my jaw hits the floor, and my dick reaches for the ceiling.

“Heaven.”

Who said that? I think it was me.

She’s lying face down on the bed, her chin perched on her joined hands. With her knees bent, she kicks her lower legs back and forth, as if trying to convey innocence.

But she’s not.

This woman is temptation incarnate.

Especially in nothing but a lacy emerald green bra and panties set.

Wait, no. A thong.

She’s wearing a fucking thong, and something sparkles between the luscious globes of her ass.

Fuck me running. It’s a butt plug.

Yeah, the fornication ban is officially lifted.

“I thought we could use a little distraction tonight.”

Isn’t that the truth?

I’m frozen in place, staring at her while deciding how to sink inside her body without hurting her. She rises seductively and strolls toward me. I grab her waist and tug her close, reveling in the feel of her silky skin under my palms.

“Youarequite distracting.”

“With everything swirling at Redleg, can we take tonight just for ourselves?”

“You make a compelling case with all that flesh on display.”

After sliding her hands from my shoulder to my pecs, she rises to her tiptoes, pausing her lips in front of mine. “I did some online shopping the other day while you were at work. Do you like what I bought for you?”

Unable to resist tasting her, I kiss her, slow and sweet.
