“I think so,” Aaron says, his hand sliding a little higher, sending fireflies swarming through my belly.“We’ll brush them extra good in the morning.”

Nutty barks as if in agreement and bounds back up to Aaron’s shoulder, resuming his obsessive petting of his beard.I snort and Aaron sighs but tolerates the squirrel’s affection with the same good-natured patience he displays with all small creatures.

“He loves you so much,” I murmur, grinning.

“He loves my beard, you mean,” Aaron says.“I think he’s trying to sweet talk it into running away with him into the forest, never to be seen again.”

I wrinkle my nose.“Nah, it’s you, Boudreaux.You’ve got star quality.Nutty and I see it.We think you’ll go far.”

He grins at me around the squirrel’s short tail.“Yeah?You really think so?”

“We do.And Nutty loves Chase too much to run away with your beard.”

Nutty barks again before dashing down Aaron’s arm, hopping off the couch, and running over to where my son lies incapacitated by his fun on the carpet.He curls up under Chase’s armpit, making Aaron and I both emit “aw” sounds.

“He’s sweet, for a perverted little ground rat,” Aaron says.

I grin.“He is.And much less anxious now that he’s part of a family again.Do you think his old owners miss him?Wherever they are?”

“Maybe.But I’m sure they’d be glad to know he’s being loved and taken care of.That’s all that really matters, right?”

“Yes.”I sigh.“But I’d rather take care of my people myself.I’m greedy that way.”

“You’re incredible,” he murmurs, his hand now so high on my thigh that he’s a whisper away from brushing against something more intimate and my skin is humming all over.“Thank you.This was the best day.”

“It was,” I agree.“Even with the tragic start.”I turn toward him, biting my lip as his hand creeps a whisper higher.“I wish you never had to leave, but since you do, maybe we should—”

“Talk about how to make long distance work?”he cuts in as he shifts his grip on my leg, rubbing the side of his hand against my clit.My breath rushes out and my nipples instantly pebble inside my bra.

“Yes, talking would be good.”I scratch my nails along the rough denim of his jeans.“But maybe we could make the most of the fact that we’re both in the same place first?”

“But you said we should just talk.”He applies more pressure between my legs.My hands ball into fists as I fight to hold back a moan.“That’s what morning Melissa said anyway.”

“Morning Melissa is stupid.”

“Nah, not at all.She’s very smart, and she sounded pretty sure of herself, so I—”

I cover his lips with my fingers and whisper, “You.Me.The bathroom in five minutes.I’ll tuck Chase in and meet you in the shower.”

“Will you be naked?”he whispers against my hand, his eyes dancing.

“I will,” I promise.

“I’ll be there in three.”He leans in, kissing my cheek as he gives my pussy one last squeeze, rubbing his thumb against my clit for good measure.He whispers, “I’ll be the one with the hard-on.You can’t miss me.”

I giggle as he tiptoes quickly toward the back of the house on his socked feet like a kid creeping downstairs to get a look at his Christmas presents.But he’s sexy even when he’s goofing around, and I’ve never felt more wanted than I do right now.

Carefully detangling Chase’s fingers from his trains, I gather him into my arms and tuck him into the big bed downstairs.Then, I coax Nutty into his cage with a good night cashew and practically dance toward the bathroom, where a beautiful man is waiting for me, wearing nothing but a smile.

I giggle again when I spot him leaning against the wall beside the already steaming shower, as naked as he promised he would be.

“Not the response I was hoping for,” he says, stroking his cock with his good hand.“But you’re smiling, so I’ll take it.”

I chew my bottom lip as I shake my head.“I’m not laughing at you.I’m just…happy.And you’re pretty.”

“I’m happy andyou’repretty,” he says, his arm going around my waist as his gaze softens.“I love you, Melissa McGuire.”

“I love you, too,” I say, the words making my head spin a little.I exhale, bracing a hand on his chest.“That wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.”
