The trembling in her body ceases, and I kiss her sweaty brow.
“Good girl.”
She smiles at me, but I’m not done with her yet. I want to go deeper; I want to feel all of her.
I roll April onto her back and bend her leg to her chest. My dick slides deep into her pussy, and she cries out as I fill her right up.
My balls slap her asshole and I thrust hard, loving the way her breasts jiggle with every slam of my cock.
Her hands grab my ass and she grinds me against her clit every time I thrust into her, moving her hips to meet my thrusts.
“Just there…”
She whimpers and I slam into her, pounding her hard to hit her spot. I love watching her face as she reaches her climax, and this time I let myself go with her. I let the wave of emotion wash over me as I explode inside April.
Any last doubts about her release with me. In this moment we’re joined, and there’s nothing in this world that could change the way I feel about her.
We collapse on the bed together. Hair sticks to April’s forehead in sweating curls, and I gently brush it off her face.
Her eyes flutter closed, and her breathing gets heavy.
“I love you,” I whisper. But she’s already fast asleep.

GRANT
Iwake up the next morning to the harsh ring of my phone. The sheets are tangled, and it takes me a moment to locate it in the back pocket of my jeans that are still on the floor where April tugged them off last night.
Memories of last night flood my brain, and I smile to myself as I scramble for my phone. April isn’t in the bed, and she must have gotten up already.
I haven’t heard Bailey yet either, which is a relief. I love it when my daughter sleeps in.
I curse as I finally locate my phone, because it’s just after seven, and whoever’s calling better have a damn good excuse.
It’s Tabitha, my case worker from the agency that connected me with Bailey. She’s kept in touch to make sure I’m settling into fatherhood and that Bailey is well cared for. She’s the one who first told me April was back and looking for custody.
This is good timing. I can tell her that we’ve worked it out, that April isn’t a monster, just an aunt wanting a piece of her family, and if I have my way, she’ll be staying here permanently.
“Morning.”
“Grant,” Tabitha barks, which has me sitting up straighter. She’s usually mild-mannered and calm, and I’ve never heard her raise her voice.
“April’s skipped town. We think she might be heading your way to try to take Bailey.”
I can’t help the chuckle that escapes my lips. They’ve got April down as some bad guy when all she wants is what’s best for her niece.
“She’s here already.”
Tabitha sucks in her breath. “You mean you’ve seen her?”
I’ve done a lot more than see her. I’ve tasted her and heard her moan.
“Yes, she’s…”
Tabitha cuts me off. “Whatever you do, don’t let her near Bailey.”
There’s panic in her voice, and I’m not used to that with Tabitha. She’s been nothing but kind. She was wary of me at first because she wanted to do what was best for Bailey. She’ll always put the child first. So if she’s panicking there’s a damn good reason for it.
