“Did you sleep better on your own?” Riley asked innocently as I shot her a look.
“I didn’t want to be co
mpletely alone,” I assured her as she sat across from me. Ella ate better today, and I knew that she was back to normal. Riley assured me that she wasn’t going to take her anywhere that was too strenuous, but they might go to a park. I told her I would be home for dinner tonight and we’d take a walk on the beach together after. ‘I showered and dressed for the office before walking downstairs to see them playing in the living room. I kissed them both goodbye, telling Riley to have a good day before I drove away from the house.
I liked the idea of coming home to them. I like that Ella was so happy now. I feared something going wrong with Riley and how I’d handle it, both personally and professionally.
Most of my day was spent checking on ad campaigns and drawing up a plan for the new client with my best people. It was nice to roll my sleeves up and be involved as I looked around the table. I built this company from the ground up, buying it for a good deal when it was failing. I had a little money from an inheritance and started new. I became successful within five years and now I’d never have to worry about money again. Ella would be taken care of. That was my biggest concern.
I went out to lunch with the team, taking a table at an Italian place around the corner. We ordered plates and iced teas even though I wanted a beer. I sent a text to Riley while I was waiting for my order and she responded with a picture of Ella at the park. It was sunny, and her smile was huge as she spent time in the toddler area. I put the phone back in my pocket and focused on the table again.
I left slightly early after hard days work, driving home with the radio on. I’d had women that I was with before that were pleasant to come home to, but it wasn’t until I had Ella that work took a bit of a step back as a priority. I knew that Brenda was home with her but didn’t seem to embrace her role as a mother. After that, she got sick, and I missed more work than I ever imagined. Brenda’s parents were both dead from a car accident and she was living on the inheritance when we met. It all went to Ella after she was gone once I persuaded Brenda to complete a will. I didn’t give a shit about getting any of it though I was listed first until Ella was old enough to handle it. I put it all into a trust fund for her, adding to it from my own money.
I pulled into the driveway, parking in the garage and stepping out of the car. Walking into the kitchen, I called out for Riley. She responded through the sliding glass door and I walked outside to see them sitting in the shade, reading books. Ella looked like her normal self again and I walked over to her, picking her up and hugging her.
“She did great today. Ate well and played like crazy at the park. Her nap was two hours, and I even took one.” Riley was smiling brightly, and I looked down at her, feeling something inside of my chest ache. We made our way inside and Riley cooked chicken tacos for dinner with some rice. Ella ate all of it and I watched her with a smile as we sipped wine. We walked on the beach when we were done, and I bathed Ella, wanting her in her own room tonight. She was worn out anyway and fell asleep during the first book.
I left her room and went downstairs to find Riley washing dishes. I slipped my arms around her waist, pulling her against me as she gasped.
“She’s asleep. Hard. Now I want us to do something hard… and fast.” I murmured to her as she chuckled.
“Pervert,” Riley told me as she slipped her hands over mine. I pulled her back and turned her around to claim her mouth with mine, hearing her soft moan. I could tell that she missed me too as she wrapped her arms around my neck, kissing me back.
“Let’s go to my room so I can be closer to Ella and still have you. I’ve missed you there.” I told her as she kissed me again. I secured the house, and we headed upstairs, locking the gate, and walking into my room after checking on her. I closed the door, pulling her against me as she wrapped her body around mine. “Fuck, Riley. I am dying to be inside of you.”
We made our way to the bed and fell on it, my body pressed between her thighs. I kissed her hard as she moaned against me, our tongues dancing together. Once she was naked, I kicked my pants off and grabbed a condom. I didn’t spend a lot of time with foreplay tonight, needing to feel her wrapped around me. Riley cried out as I positioned myself before her, lifting her feet to my shoulders. I slid inside of her as we both moaned, feeling complete.
“So good. So fucking good.” I grunted as I fucked her hard. She gripped the sheets and closed her eyes and I could tell that she was trying to stay quiet. When Riley dropped her head back, I felt her tighten around me and flood me with her warmth. I jerked one more time, coming hard as I forced myself to not cry out her name.
I dropped beside her and we both breathed in deeply.
“That felt so damn good,” I told her as she reached for my hand.
“I agree.”
“How did you sleep with Ella?” I asked her as she giggled.
“She’s tiny but moves all over the place. It’s worth it to wake up to that smile.” I had to agree.
“I know. It just makes my life worthwhile.” I removed the condom and walked into the bathroom to throw it away and get a cup of water. Returning to the bed, I gave it to her to drink from, watching her as she sat up. Riley had a gorgeous body, and I took in her hard nipples as she dropped back to the pillow. “Stay here with me?”
“Sure,” she told me sleepily as she turned to face me. “It’s so comfortable in here.”
“Just sleep in here every night. Move into the room,” I joked as silence filled the room.
“Nathan.” She said softly as she slipped her arm around me. “What are we doing?”
“We are moving at the speed of light because we are so attracted to each other. I’m scared and I’m sure you are, but I like the feeling of you beside me.” I told her as she pressed her lips to my chest. “I don’t fall for people easily, Riley.”
“I don’t either. This is… overwhelming.”
“Agreed.” I rested my head on my pillow. “But it feels so good.”
Chapter 15: Riley
We woke up too soon. I opened my eyes and saw the sun shining, groaning as I buried my face under the sheet. Nathan rolled over and cuddled me to him, laughing at me.
“I don’t want to get up,” I protested as he stroked me through the sheet.
