“Grizz,” she pants, closing her eyes before complying.
Swiping my fingers across her tongue and lips, I make another pass of her breasts before I'm satisfied there's enough cum.
“Swallow.”
Her eyelids flutter, closing her mouth and licking her lips. Savoring the taste of me.
“Good girl,” I purr. “Now let's get you rinsed off and set you up for the night with Jovie. Tomorrow I'll set up the cabin a little differently so Jovie will have her own space and we can have ours. No exceptions.”
“I don’t want to–”
“Stop. No exceptions, Brynn. It's going to be cosy until the storm settles, but I promise I want you both here with me. I meant what I said. You're my woman now.” Pulling her against me, I wash her body, making sure to touch everything I can. Reluctantly turning off the shower when there was nothing left to wash. Drying her body just as thoroughly.
I thinkthis.
What we’re doing right now.
The ability to care for her in this way settles my soul.
Opening the bathroom door, steam escapes into the high ceilings. The fire having caught while we were getting clean, leaving the space warm and toasty.
“So can I borrow some clothes, or should I just stay in this towel?” she jests, leaning against the bathroom doorway. Little does she realise I would happily withhold clothing from her for as long as we were alone.
“These are clean.” Passing her one of my t-shirts and a pair of briefs. “I’ll wash our clothes tonight and get started on dryingthem. Jovie might have to wear one of my T-shirts tomorrow so we can wash her stuff.”
I have a basket full of clean washing on the couch which I start rifling through, trying to find something that would appeal to a kid like Jovie, when Bynn's warm hand holding on to my forearm stops me.
“Thank you for being there for us tonight. I haven't…wehaven't had anyone we could rely on before. I'm sorry if I scared you. The next time something happens, I promise I will wait for you.”
Wrapping her in my arms. I hold her against me. My heart picking up over everything she said and everything she didn't. The realisation that this beautiful woman and her daughter want me as part of their family.
CHAPTER 16
CHAPTER 16 - BRYNN
Jovie’s high-pitched giggle pulls me from a deep sleep, and I reach across the bed, noticing there’s a small body missing, and that it’s been that way for a while because the sheets are already cold.
My eyelids feel like steel doors, but I pry them open, squinting as I try to make out the unfamiliar surroundings.
Grizz’s cabin.
Jesus, it wasn’t just a dream.
The fire, the storm, the shower.
Oh god, the shower.
Without thinking, I press my thighs together, fighting the wave of warmth that instantly sinks between them, gently pulsing. Grizz was… he is… even my thoughts catch on a stammer as I think back to how last night Grizz had treated my body as if it were some kind of temple.
He stripped my clothes away, cleaned my body, and washed my hair.
He didn’t rush or try to take more than what was offered.
He just took care of me.
I exhale, throwing myself back into the pillows and staring up at the ceiling. My heart races and I can’t help but lick my lips and let my eyes flutter closed again, wishing for my dreams to swallow me back up so I can relive those moments.
No one’s ever treated me that way before.
