Carter glanced at my phone and grinned. “Get home to your wife.”
I didn’t bother with a rebuttal. I just walked out and got into the car. The house was right down the road so I would be home in less than five minutes, but I texted her back anyway. I’ll be home in five minutes.
Thank you.
I walked into the bedroom and found her sitting up in bed. She was ready for sleep, dressed in one of my t-shirts with her makeup removed from her face. Her long brown hair was pulled over one shoulder. Despite her obvious exhaustion, she was alert the second I walked in the door. “I’m so glad you’re back.”
I pulled my tie through my collar and dropped my suit jacket on the ground. I walked to the bed and leaned down to kiss her on the mouth. I gave her a quick kiss, the kind a husband gave his wife when he came home from work. “I’m surprised you’re still awake.” Clothes dropped on the floor, and I stripped until I was in my boxers.
“Couldn’t sleep…”
I pulled back the covers and got into bed beside her. “Jet lag?”
“No.” She immediately cuddled into my side like she hadn’t seen me in days rather than hours. “I just can’t sleep unless you’re next to me.” She spoke into my chest, her soft hair grazing over my arm.
I stared down at her face, catching the sincerity in her eyes. I’d been anxious to get home, but knowing she was waiting for me only made me more eager. I was a man of solitude and didn’t like answering to anyone, but I enjoyed having someone to come home to. “I’m here now.”
“I know.” She breathed a happy sigh. “And now I’m so happy…”
I turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the bedroom into darkness. I let it surround us and listened to her gentle breathing. I had so much to tell her, but now I enjoyed our quiet companionship.
Her arm trailed down my chest, her fingertips lightly touching me. “Did it go well?”
“Yes. I dropped Yasmine off at Carter’s. She’s very young. I’m glad she’ll be going home.”
“Me too,” she said.
I debated telling her about Bones, but she was so peaceful that I didn’t want to upset her. I’d never cared about protecting someone, but now I wanted to surround her in a bubble of fantasy. I didn’t want her to know about the horrific shit waiting just outside my gates because I wanted her to be happy. I wanted her to feel safe by my side, to know that nothing outside these walls could hurt her—not with me around.
So, I kept it to myself.
My fingers moved under her chin, and I directed her gaze up to me. “Make love to me, Muse.”
Her lips parted slightly, showing her small teeth behind her plump lips. A quiet breath escaped her mouth, moving over my skin and warming my lips. She turned her face to my chest and pressed kisses everywhere, kissing my hard muscles and searing skin. Then she climbed on top of me and straddled my hips.
“Show me how much you missed me.”
She yanked down my boxers until my cock was free, and she pulled her thong to the side so I could slide inside. She pressed my crown to her entrance then slowly slid all the way down. Biting her bottom lip as she moved, she took in my big dick slowly. Once she had all of it, she sat on my lap for a few seconds to get used to it.
My hands moved to her hips. “No shirt.”
She pulled it over her head, revealing her perfect tits.
“Yes…” My palms gripped her perky bosom, feeling her hard nipples and soft skin. I played with them, massaging them greedily. Everything about her was perfect, from her rack to the curve of her bottom lip.
She started to move, slowly sheathing my dick and pulling out again. She moved precisely, breathing heavily every time she took my length deep inside her. Her breath was husky, full of desire.
My hands guided her hips, showing her how to rub her clit just right.
She breathed louder and deeper, her hands gripping my shoulders for balance. “I missed you…”
“Yeah?” My hand dug into her hair and pulled it back from her face. “How much?”
“So much.” She pressed her forehead against mine.
“Can’t sleep without me?”
“No…” She bit her bottom lip and kept moving. She took my dick so well, her tight cunt perfect for my big cock.
“Why?”
“I…I don’t know.”
I started to rock back into her, beginning to push my cock back inside her. “Yes, you do. Tell me.”
“I just… You make me feel safe.”
My cock twitched inside her, loving that answer. “Because you’re always safe with me.”
Her nails started to claw into my skin. She ground her clit against my pelvic bone, her body slowly writhing because of the way it made her feel. She succumbed to her desire, fell prey to the way I made her pussy tighten.
