“Oh, God, Faye, I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay. I needed to do it and surprisingly…he’s stronger than I thought. Hell, he’s stronger than I am. But…it was still so hard to do. When we got home, I knew I had to stay busy, or my mind would spiral, so here I sit.”

“Can I ask why you decided to take him now?” From our past conversations, I know he hasn’t been since the funeral, and she was okay not taking him until he was older.

“He woke up missing Ben and asking questions. I felt in my heart it was the right thing to do.”

“Fuck, Faye, you are so amazing, you know that, right?”

She shakes her head, and I pull her tightly against my chest. She nuzzles up to me, and I don’t push her. Instead I just let her be. Enjoying her in my arms.

From the hallway, we both hear some commotion. She looks at me wide-eyed, and I stare back at her wondering what in the world the boys are doing. Then our parental instincts kick in when we hear a thud, and she darts out into the hallway. Looking down the stairs, the beanbag is on top of Braxley. He’s laughing as he’s lying on his back and Jack is barely holding on to the top.

“Oh my God! What happened and where did you get that thing?” Faye asks them, and I slip around her, taking the beanbag from Jack’s hand.

“Thane brought it for me. Isn’t it cool?” he asks her as he stands to his feet. She looks up at me with a disapproving glare, and I walk off, carrying the chair into his room.

“It’s huge!” she exclaims as they all follow me, and I give her a half-crooked smile. It does kinda swallow his room whole, but oh well. “I know it’s big, trust me, I know,” I say, and she catches right on to my innuendo, shaking her head, her face flushed. The boys are both sitting in it as they start to play their video game again, not paying attention to me, and I tip my head directing her out. Clearly, Braxley isn’t hurt from the fall; he was laughing after all.

“Where did you get that thing?” she asks me as we head downstairs.

“I have a client who I fly privately for, and he just bought into a beanbag company.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yup, and he asked if I wanted one. So I got two, one for Braxley and one for Jack.”

“That’s so sweet of you, Thane.”

“Even though it’s so huge?” I ask her as she leans back on the kitchen counter and nods her head. I can’t help letting my mind wander as I watch her chest heaving up and down. Her lips are plump, and my cock throbs watching her.

Jesus, I want her.

Stepping up to her, she looks me in the eye, so trusting, and I hold on to the countertop next to her hands. She breathes her sweet breath all over mine, and I grab the back of her head, keeping every single thing that I do so slow, painfully slow, but I want to give her the time to tell me to stop if I’m pushing too fast.

My heart slams inside me—since the moment I met her I’ve wanted her. Then as tenderly as possible, I kiss her. I fear rejection in this moment, but she doesn’t stop me. She threads her fingers into the back of my hair. I groan and press my body fully against hers, letting her feel me, letting her know what control she has over me.

As her tongue teases mine, our hands explore one another and then suddenly, she pulls away, breathless, but I can’t stop, and I move to her neck. She whimpers while I kiss and nip on her hot skin.

“Stop,” she tells me, and I freeze, knowing deep down it was too good to be true. It’s not that I expected to fuck her right here, right now, but I’d hoped she wouldn’t suddenly ask me to stop.

“What did I do wrong?”

“Nothing! Please don’t think that. I just didn’t want us to go too far with the boys right upstairs.”

“Are you sure?” I ask her.

“Yes.” I look deep into her eyes, reading her, wanting to make sure that she’s being honest. “I promise,” she finally tells me, clearly sensing my worry.

Leaning into her, I peck her lips, again and again, needing the reassurance, and she kisses me back. Once I stop with my forehead resting against hers, I tell her, “I could kiss you all night long, Faye.”

And I could, but I hope she’ll give me more because if she will, I’ll cherish every single second that I have with this amazing woman.
