Her body was coated with a thin sheen of sweat, but she hadn’t felt this relaxed in a while. “Damn, I missed your cock,” she moaned, turning her head so he could hear her.

He huffed out a laugh, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. “Kitten, I’ve missed this pussy, so I know the feeling,” he told her. “Give me a few minutes and I’ll show you how much.”

She liked the sound of that. And he indeed lived up to his promise a few minutes later, but this time he took her bent over her window seat, looking out as everyone below was getting things put away. She probably should have felt guilty about that, but she couldn’t find it in her to care after the third orgasm.

He finally carried her into the shower in her adjoining bathroom and set her on the bench seat as he turned on the water from the jetted shower heads. “Damn, this thing is fancy,” Code remarked.

“But it will feel so good,” she pointed out lazily. She looked at the bench. “I think we’re going to need to christen this bench, too.”

Code grinned wickedly at her. “I agree,” he purred. “But right now we need to get cleaned up so we can help the others finish putting things away.”

She hated that he was right, so she forced herself to stand and move under the spray with him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. “I missed you,” she told him. “I worried I wouldn’t, but I really did.”

His grin softened to a warm smile. “I missed you too, kitten,” he said, leaning down to press a soft kiss to her mouth. “But it was worth it now that you’re so close. We’ll find a balance that works for both of us. We’ll figure out all the little shit later, but I’m not planning to be away from you much now if I can help it.”

She smiled. “Good, because I’ve decided you can’t be rid of me.”

He chuckled. “You did huh?” he drawled. “I have no choice?”

“Nope,” she smirked. “So best just accept it, and I won’t have to get rough.” Then she stepped back and reached for the body wash she had set in the corner. She handed him the new bottle of the kind she knew he liked.

“Mmm, I do like it when you get rough,” Code rasped, giving her ass a light slap. She gave him a knowing look and a saucy wink.

After a couple of moments of comfortable silence, she asked, “How are things at the clubhouse?”

Code grinned wickedly. “The babies are driving Savage up the wall. They cry all the time, and the only ones who can settle them are Royal, Harlow, and the twins. It’s got him panicked that they’re going to rub off on them and turn them into hellions. He’s already talking about grounding them.”

Glitch snickered. Yeah, she could see that. “Your club is going to be overrun by strong women,” she predicted. “Wanna bet he’s going to start going gray soon?”

Code smirked. “Pretty sure he said he found a few already.” Then his face suddenly grew serious, and she stopped, uncertain. He watched her for a moment and then murmured, “I know what you did for my brother and Mavie.”

She schooled her reaction, uncertain of what she should do or say. She couldn’t quite get a read on Code’s face either. Was he pissed? Happy? Upset? “How did you find out?” she finally asked, not seeing the point in lying or hiding it.

“I got a call from my brother, who was practically foaming at the mouth that I dared to pay off their medical bills without talking to him first. Apparently they sent in a payment, and it was returned with an invoice from the hospital marked ‘paid in full’,” he answered calmly. “I told him it wasn’t me, and at first he didn’t believe me, but then I told him I had a feeling I knew who did…” He trailed off, watching her.

Glitch shifted uncomfortably. She didn’t like to discuss her money, because it could be a sore spot with people, and she and Code hadn’t talked about it at all, other than the few times she mentioned in passing about what she liked to do with it, and that she used some of it for purchasing her share of this place. “I heard you and your brothers on the phone that night when I went to apologize to you,” she admitted. “I was coming to apologize to you anyway, so that had nothing to do with my apology, but when I heard you talking about your family and how much they were struggling, I wanted to help. I also told the hospital that they weren’t to let anyone know who paid, just that it was an anonymous benefactor. I figured they wouldn’t have to worry about the bills, and could focus on being a family and doing fun things together. If you’re mad about that—”

He shut her up by hauling her against him and pressing his mouth to hers. It wasn’t an overly heated kiss, but it definitely made the words in her head disappear. When he pulled away, he said, “I was pissed when I figured it out, but then I heard the gratitude in my brother’s voice and the relief in my sister-in-laws, and it went away. They’ve struggled for a long time, and they missed out on doing so many things with their kids.. So thank you, but don’t do that shit again without at least giving me a heads up. Mostly because I don’t want a punch to the face from one of my brothers.”

“I didn’t mean to cause trouble,” she told him awkwardly. “But, I mean, I have money, Code, and I like to be able to put it toward things that I think are important. Your niece is important to you, so she’s important to me, and if I can make things easier, then I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t.” She paused, hesitating, before finally asking, “Does me having money bother you?”

“No,” he replied immediately. “The majority of the time, I forget about it until you mention that you have to meet with your people, and it hits me that my woman is a multi-millionaire. Money doesn’t define who you are, and you don’t use it for things that don’t matter. And you don’t throw it in people’s faces.” He gave her a teasing smile. “But it also explains how you have some of the best equipment. And, you know, now I can tell everyone I have a sugar mama for an Old Lady.”

She rolled her eyes but laughed. “Uh huh,” she scoffed. “Sure.” She gave him a sly look. “So is this your way of telling me that you want me to be your Old Lady, officially?”

He cupped her jaw, gazing into her eyes. “Eliza, you are my Old Lady,” he told her softly. “Maybe you’re not ready for that title yet, and that’s fine, but in my head and my heart, that’s exactly what you are. And some day I’ll put a ring on your finger and make you my wife.”

Her heart pounded at his words. “Okay,” she whispered. “I was a bit worried you might not be ready for that step.”

“I’ve been ready, kitten,” he reassured her. “I don’t plan on letting you go, ever. We’ll take things as they come, but you and I are a team. I love you and that won’t be changing. Got it?”

“Got it,” she said, smiling. “I love you too, Milo.” He kissed her, and of course, after that declaration, they ended up christening the shower bench after all.

When they finally emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in towels, they both stopped in their tracks when they saw someone let themselves in and positioned Code’s blow up doll on the bed, complete with some interesting looking sex toys and a sign that said, “Threesome?”

Code groaned while she laughed. “I’m going to kick Razor’s ass,” he vowed.

“I think he had some help,” she gasped out, just as the door flew open and Taz strode in, a huge grin on his face.
