Gage and Micah join us and offer more subdued greetings. The doorbell makes another loud demand and Micah trots off to answer it, returning with the stack of pizzas and hot wings I ordered an hour ago.
In the kitchen Dani is showing off the sheet cake she made from scratch. The edges are piped with colorful whipped cream flowers. The words ‘Happy Birthday, Haven and Lita’ are written on the surface in loopy script.
Dani really is no joke. She fuckinggetspeople, understanding that acknowledging Lita would mean everything.
Haven stands beside Dani and stares at the cake. She nibbles her bottom lip. “Thank you, Dani.” Her voice catches on the last syllable.
These two have definitely had their issues over the years. But Haven has expressed sorrow for giving Dani a tough time. And Dani is far too good of a person to hold a petty grudge.
As if to drive home the point, Dani smiles and playfully bumps Haven’s arm. I think I’m the only one in the room who notices when Haven blinks rapidly, fighting an outbreak of emotion.
Meanwhile, it seems Charlotte has found Robert and decided to adopt him. In the space of a minute she introduces herself, tells him all the boys in her class are ‘shitty’ so she sure hopes he’s not ‘shitty’ too and hands him a dog biscuit from her pocket to give to Total.
“He can sit,” Charlotte says.
Robert crouches down and holds out the biscuit. “Sit.”
Total’s head cocks to the side. His tongue rolls out.
“Please sit, Total,” Charlotte begs.
The dog flops on the floor and curls his paws up, playing dead.
Robert laughs and gives him the biscuit anyway. Charlotte decides Haven’s brother has passed a crucial test and invites him to raid the pizza with her. They carry two boxes out to the patio.
Dani and Tess, best friends forever, giggle with each other as they follow the kids outside.
My man Dash is now in the arms of his dad and looking mighty interested in Micah’s plate of wings and pizza slices. Gage stands back, resembling an old school noir detective with his dapper threads and his holstered gun. All that’s missing is a wide brimmed dark hat. I’m already getting a kick out of thinking of him as a doting father.
Since everyone is looking elsewhere, I snatch this opportunity to grab Haven’s hand. I need to pull her away for a proper greeting. Detouring to the laundry room, I shut the door and back her into it.
“Funny place for a quickie.” She arches a brow and hooks her arms around my neck.
I push my knee between her long legs. “Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.”
She raises her chin and peers into my eyes. “Then do it.”
Three little words that throttle my cock. I cup her face in my palm. Run my thumb over her lips. She can’t stop herself from trembling at my touch. And I can never get enough of her.
For the first time in my career I’m unexcited to report to the pre-season training camp up north. Only thirteen days until I leave. No distractions allowed. There’s a team depending on me to set the tone and be the leader. I’m used to craving the start of the season, when I live and breathe the game.
In an unthinkable pivot, I’m now almost resentful. The game will take me away from her.
Haven tilts her hips and arches her back. A teasing move because she knows I’m harder than steel.
But if she wants to feel the evidence for herself I’ll give it to her. My other knee shoves her legs wider apart for the sole purpose of grinding my cock into her pussy. There are layers of fabric in the way right now but this is just a preview of what she can expect later when we’re alone.
Her eyes flutter closed and the sound that leaks out of her mouth is a softer version of the noise she makes when she comes. Keeping her face locked in the vice of my hand, I take charge of her mouth, using her tongue the way I want to use her whole body.
She’s just as hungry when she kisses me back. Her knees ride up to my hips and her arms tighten around my shoulders.
I’d bet my whole NFL contract that if I were to shred her flimsy shorts I’d discover soaked panties and a needy pussy. I’m an expert on her body by now. Give her thirty seconds of my cock or my tongue or my hand and she’ll come so hard she shakes.
Temping.Realfucking tempting.
But I’m making a sincere effort at romance. I pull back and unravel her legs from my waist. Haven’s eyes flash with momentary frustration. Then she shifts to a smirk.
“Are we playing hard to get today?” Her palm drifts to the waistband of my jeans, then lower, toying with the zipper.
