“Come for me, baby,” I demanded.
Her body shook and convulsed as she went right over the edge. She bit down on her hand to keep from screaming.
I pumped into her one more time.
And that was all it took.
I followed her into oblivion.
I came so hard I couldn’t see straight.
And I only wanted more.

Brinkley
“I love your mom,”I said, no hesitation in my voice. Those weren’t words I tossed around lightly, but Abi Hendrix was an amazing woman.
“She loves you, too,” Lincoln said as we settled onto the couch on the back deck, looking out at the water.
“She’s so open. She told me all about her cancer journey when we stayed up chatting last night.”
“Is that when you made me drive you home after? My mom is more than aware that we’re sleeping together.”
I rolled my eyes. “I know. But she was here for a weekend. I don’t need to be getting busy with her son while she’s in the house.”
“Getting busy? Is that what we’re doing?” A loud laugh escaped.
The sun had just tucked behind the horizon and the sky was a mix of oranges and yellows and pinks. It looked like a watercolor painting. We loved to sit out here every night and watch the sun go down.
I’d never spent this much time with a man before. We were together all day, every day. My work and personal life had completely meshed together. I’m sure I’d broken a million professional rules, but for whatever reason, I didn’t care.
I couldn’t pull back now if I wanted to.
And I didn’t want to.
“I think we’re doing more than that,” I said. “I noticed you shut the conversation down quickly when your mom asked about the future.”
He turned to face me, studying me for the longest time before he spoke. “I didn’t think it was a conversation that my mother should be part of. Are you ready to have it?”
I raised a brow. “Sure. Let’s do it.”
“All right. Well, where do you see this going?”
Now it was my turn to laugh. “Are you putting this on me?”
“No. I just wanted to give you a chance to go first.”
“Who’s the rude gentleman now?”
He chuckled. “I’m not afraid to tell you how I feel, Brinkley.”
“I’m listening.”
“I don’t only love your smart mouth and your hot-as-shit body,” he said as he moved closer.
“You are off to a really good start, Captain.”
