With every stroke, he hit me inside at the perfect angle, driving my back to that perfect brink.

I bucked against him, trying to encourage him to move faster. He didn’t. I was forced to slow to match the pace he stubbornly kept to.

"Boss, I'm going to—" I started.

"Not yet," he said immediately. "Wait until I say."

I groaned in frustration, but did as he asked. I clenched my teeth and balanced right on the threshold.

"You're doing beautifully," he soothed. "So beautifully."

I puffed out my nose and concentrated.

"Okay, I want you to come now," he said.

I did just that, the second he finished speaking. I came so hard and fast I couldn't help from throwing my head back and screaming out his name.

He came a moment later, thrusting fast, but deliberate and firm. This was no wild abandon. Even when coming, he was in control.

He sagged against my back, only breathing slightly heavier than usual.

"You're everything I imagined," he said softly. "And more."

Some time, I might ask him how often he thought about me. For now, I squirmed around under him and rolled over onto my back.

He smiled and kissed me, still tasting of me. I wasn't done yet; the flavour turned me on like hell. I put all of that into my kiss.

He murmured against my lips. "Good to see you're not done, because I've just begun. Two is a good start, but my lucky number is seven."

I melted against the mattress and let him explore every centimetre of me, like he promised he would.

"No, that doesn't go there," Nova said. She picked up the block I'd just put down and moved it.

"Silly me," I said with a laugh. "What was I thinking?"

She gave me a look like she didn't know either and went on building while I watched.

"So you like it here?" I asked.

She nodded. "Uh-ha. Alyssa said you should have brought me back sooner. She said her dad said people weren't happy that you weren't here."

"Is that so?" I asked.

She nodded. "Because you're family and family should stay here."

"What do you think?" I asked. "Do you think we should stay here?"

Her nod was more vigourous this time. "I don't want to go home."

In the corner of my eye, I saw someone approach and looked up to see Ric. His face was red, eyes flashing with anger.

In a barely controlled voice, he said, "Hey, Nova. The other kids are getting ready to go in the pool. Why don't you join them?"

She glanced at me.

"Go ahead." I was enjoying a bit of quiet time with her, but I had a feeling whatever he had to say wasn't going to be very fucking quiet.
