“You have. You’ve been itching for a fight all day. You made me leave earlier. Why? Is it so you can go right back to pretending you didn’t fuck me in the morning?”
She tried to pull away from me, but I held her tighter and brought her closer. “I don’t want to be a dirty secret, Hadley.”
“Why did you even come over if we’re not going to…” She let her words die out. I had yet to hear a cuss word from her mouth.
“Who said we aren’t?” I murmured softly. Once I was sure she wouldn’t try to get away from me, I trailed my fingers down her side. “Spread your legs,” I said and realized she’d already done it. Smiling down at her, I lifted her gown and rubbed my fingers over her wet panties. “Will you come sit down and listen to me for a second?”
Hadley nodded, and I scooped her into my arms and carried her to the couch. I sat down with her, curling her up like a child in my hold as I stared at her. “You’re so beautiful, Hadley.” And she was. Everything about her—from the roundness of her eyes and the cute curve in her lips as she blushed and smiled to the angry expressions crossing her face—was perfect. I could never grow tired of seeing her.
Hadley averted her eyes and whispered, “You’ll make me do something awkward. Just stop…”
“You’re always awkward.”
That made her glance up with a slight laugh. “Hey.”
“You’re the definition of jumpy.” I laughed. “You’re my little bundle of nerves.”
She sighed. “I can’t help it.”
“It’s amazing, you know, watching you handle single parenting despite being a nervous person. At times you’re a superhuman, then I see how flustered you get over the shit I say and wonder how you even function. But you do it so easily.” I held her closer, rubbing my thumb across her arm. “I don’t want you to have to do anything alone, anymore.”
She sucked in a breath and met my eyes. “Elijah…”
“I would never say a word to Lucy, Hadley. Not until you’re ready to tell her, but I want to head in that direction. With you. One day I want my life to be with you guys. I’ve felt that way ever since meeting you and your family.”
I never felt more terrified of anything than I did at that moment. I was giving Hadley everything I had to offer—all of me. My time, my love, my thoughts. Anything I had was hers to take if she’d let me have her to love and hold like I so desperately wanted.
She was quiet for a long time as she searched my eyes. It only made my fear worse. What if I was too hateful or bossy for her liking? What if I didn’t have enough skin because most of me was covered in tattoos? What if she still loved Lucy and Eli’s dad?
“Please,” she whispered as she closed her eyes. A tear slid down her cheek, and I caught it with my thumb. “Don’t hurt me. Most of all, don’t hurt Lucy because my little girl likes you, and I don’t want her to wonder why you’re not there one day like her dad.”
“One day, baby, when we’re old and gray, I’m going to look over at you while we’re sitting on the porch and tell you how these tears were wasted.”
She cried harder as she opened her eyes. “God bless… You’re serious!”
“One hundred percent.” I cupped her cheeks in my hands. “That one percent of you… I want it.”
With a ragged breath, Hadley’s lips were on mine. Wet nose and all, she pressed her weight into that single kiss, and I took it all. Opening her mouth, I flicked and traced my tongue over hers. She grabbed the bottom of my shirt. I had to lean forward so that she could yank it over my head. And then, together, we took off her grandma nightie. Hadley’s nipples hardened the moment the cool air touched her skin. I gripped one roughly, tugging on the nipple until she rubbed herself against my lap. I kept pinching and pulling, completely mesmerized by her perfect breasts. When no milk came out like I wanted, I bent down and sucked one between my lips. She cried out as it trickled into my mouth.
Maybe I should feel bad for getting so fucking turned on by her body, which supplied food for a tiny life, but that just made me want her more. The fact that she let me fondle her like a depraved man only made me worse.
She deserved the attention, and I wanted to be the one that gave it to her. The only one that knew the wild way she bucked and moaned when I reminded her that she was still a woman, my woman, and not only a mother. She was a fucking perfect blend of both roles.
Unlike the other night, I planned on fucking her for more than thirty seconds before I lost my shit. It didn’t matter though. That moment with her had topped any and everything I’d ever felt before.
“I want to…” Her voice trailed off as she pulled away from me. Climbing out of my lap, she got on her knees in front of me.
“Hadley,” I groaned.
She would be the death of me.
I watched as her bashful eyes moved over my jeans before she unzipped them. I helped her wrestle with my jeans until they were pulled down enough freeing my cock. Just like my desperate heart, it bobbed straight up seeking Hadley. She wrapped her hand around it softly, and I groaned. “Don’t be afraid of hurting me. You won’t hurt him, baby. Go on and choke him out and see.”
Her giggles were music to my ears as she shook her head at me, admiring my cock. Hadley’s eyes were so big and round and glassy as her mouth parted… Killing me slowly.
Then she gasped, and I saw exactly what she did at that moment. Her hand moved up to my pubic bone piercing before her eyes found mine. “Is that a piercing?” she whispered in both awe and shock.
“Yeah. I guess you didn’t get the chance to see it the other night,” I murmured hoarsely as I slipped my fingers through the bun atop her head.
