“I said yes. Not all of us thrive in the classroom.”
“No. We don’t,” he agreed. He glanced at me quickly. “I think that was smart on your part, Willa.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. So many parents want their kids to do something, not understanding that they don’t all fit into the same mold, and that sometimessomethingdoesn’t look like what they were taught.”
“You don’t fit the mold.” I smiled.
“Neither do you.”
“I’m glad we found each other,” I said, reaching for his hand.
He gave it to me and squeezed my fingers before letting go.
It only took us half an hour at the courthouse to get everything signed and ready for our marriage. It was weird to think that I’d be marrying my best friend in a few days. It felt like we’d been together for years, and the truth was, we had been. Not romantically, but in all the ways that tell you whether a long-term relationship is going to work out or not.
“I’m sorry I’m an idiot,” I said when we had finished in the courthouse and stepped back out into the sunshine.
“Okay, I’m gonna need a bit more.” He pulled his sunglasses down over his eyes and grasped my hand.
“I had no idea what I was missing,” I said.
“Ah, you mean sexually,” he teased. “Yeah, to think we could’ve been boning for years.”
“Charming.” I snorted. “But no, that’s not what I meant. I mean the entire package. The sex is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s such a novelty for me to be in a relationship where I can truly be myself. Does that make sense?”
“Yeah. It makes sense.” He unlocked the passenger door and opened it for me. “I still think it would’ve been nice if we’d been fucking all these years.”
“Duke,” I hissed. “Seriously? Watch your mouth.”
“Or what? You’ll wash it out with soap?”
I scooted past him, but stopped close enough to whisper, “No. I’ll punish you by making you put that mouth to better use.”
“What time are you meeting the Old Ladies?”
“In an hour.”
“Then I’m driving like a bat out of hell to your house and I’ll be cursing up a storm, just so you can punish me the way I deserve.”
I grinned. “I was hoping you’d say that.”
I arrived at Joni’s late—and flushed.
After he’d made me come on his tongue, I thought for sure he’d satisfy me again with his cock, but the bastard had stood, looked down at me while my skin glistened with my release, and then decided he just had to be somewhere else.
So now I was turned on, ready for more, and I had to wait.
I was going to make him pay.
Slowly. Completely. Until it washisturn to beg.
There was a sign hanging on the front doorknob that readDon’t Use the Doorbell - Sleeping baby, please knock softly.
I knocked gently.
A few moments later, the door opened.
