Page 80 of Luci’s Lullaby

“In that case…” She holds her tongue out again.

A familiar pull ignites deep in my core. “You want more?”

She nods, holding her mouth open. I pick up another noodle, thinking of taking her mouth for my own; instead, I hover it over her until she sucks it in.

“More?” I quirk my brow, and she giggles with a nod.

I take another and do the same with it until she gets it in her mouth. Fuck. A few more of these and I’m going to have to shower. With the thought of me showering comes the memory of the one we shared.

Houston… we have lift off.

I whirl around, jerking open the refrigerator door. “Do you need a drink?”

“No, I still have one,” she murmurs over her food.

“I-I need to go grab something outta the bedroom.” I hurry from the kitchen to my room as fast as my feet will carry me.

I close the door behind me and head straight for the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I look down at my hard cock. “What the fuck, dude? Why now? It’s been months and now you’re all interested?”

“Alden? Are you alright?” Charlee calls, and my dick twitches as if he’s answering her.

“Yeah, I’m not feeling well.” Please go away, both of you.

She taps on the door. “Can I do anything for you?”

Fuck me. The thought alone makes my cock even harder. “Nope! I’ll be out in a minute.”

“Oh, alright.” I relax against the door. “I think I’m gonna give Luci a bath.”

“Sounds great!” Please, for the love of all that’s holy, leave.

“Okay!” she says, and I hear the door close.

I slump against the wall, willing my growing cock to relax. “Thank you for always rising for the wrong occasion.”

Turning the water on, I jump in a cold shower and will this damn thing down. Ten minutes later, I find the girls in Luci’s bedroom. Charlee is looking around and measuring things.

“Hey, you. Are you feeling better?” She frowns.

“I am, I took a shower and shook it right off.”

She chews on her finger. “So I was thinking of doing a few things in here. Would you mind?”

“Not at all. Reese has been meaning to finish, but with the twins she has her hands full.”

“I’ll get started next week.” She nudges my shoulder. “What do you think of purple?”

My eyes widen as it dawns on me, I still have her panties. “I love it.”

She beams. “Great! I’m so excited.”

“I can’t wait to see what you come up with. She really does deserve a nicer room.”

Charlee tilts her head, gazing at me. “You’re doing an amazing job, Alden.”

“You sound surprised.”

She pushes her hair behind her ear. “Please, have you forgotten who I am? I know you, the real you; not the Alden ‘I’m a country sanger and risin’ star, come have sex with me’ Beck. But the kindhearted, caring Alden Beck.”
