She was worth whatever hell I was going to go through to be with her. I’d protect her and Evie. “You feel so good,” I said as I braced myself on my hands.
She bit her lip. “I’m so close.”
“Touch yourself,” I urged, moving so that she had room to get her hand between us.
She bit her lip as her hand moved slowly down her belly, making me harder. I watched as her slender fingers circled her clit, slowly at first and then faster.
She moaned as I increased my pace, the telltale sign that my orgasm was overcoming me.
She shattered a split second before I followed her over. I rested on top of her, both of us breathing heavily as we came down.
“It was just as good as the first time.”
I moved to her side. “Did you expect something different?”
“I don’t know what I expected. This is so different from anything I’ve ever experienced before.”
I played with her hair, loving the feel of the soft strands. She was finally mine to touch. “You’ve never been with an attentive lover.”
She laughed softly. “I guess not.”
I kissed her shoulder. “I’ll always take care of you, Harper. You deserve to be treated like a queen.”
“I like the sound of that,” she murmured as she turned to face me.
The expression on her face was one of awe, as if she couldn’t believe we were here in bed together.
“I want to stay here forever.”
“Me too.”
“Can I take you and Evie home? Stay for a bit? We don’t have to do anything, but I’m not ready for the night to end.”
“I’d like that. Do we need to have a conversation about what we are or what this is?” Her forehead wrinkled.
I wasn’t sure about labels and things like that. My fingers tangled in her hair. “You’re my girl.Sei mia. If I have free time, I want to spend it with you.”
She licked her lips. “I want to be your girl.”
“Then it’s settled.” I didn’t like monikers like girlfriend or boyfriend; I just wanted her to be mine.

HARPER
My first date with Leo was the best one I’d ever had, and it probably had something to do with the epic sex. Our connection was heightened from the time we took to get to know each other.
I appreciated that he came home with me afterward to help get Evie to bed, and we watched TV before falling asleep. He was gone before Evie woke up, but it felt like he’d stayed most of the night. I loved that he said I was his girl. I got a fluttery feeling inside whenever I remembered that little detail.
Today, I was meeting with Gia’s recommendation for a realtor, Juliana, to consider my options. I’d worked the numbers, spoke to a mortgage broker, and had a budget in mind.
When Juliana looked up from her paperwork, she said, “It will be tough to find something in your range. If you’re willing to look outside Evie’s school district, it will be easier.”
My throat tightened. I wasn’t willing to sacrifice her education. “I’d rather not.”
“In her current school, single-family houses are out of your range. I could probably find you an apartment above a store in town. That would be your best option.”
The apartments just outside of town weren’t considered to be in a good area. They wouldn’t be safe for a single mother and a child. “That’s where I’m currently living.”
