Amelia’s scream from upstairs was like a bucket of ice thrown on top of me as Melanie left my arms to tend to her daughter. I adjusted myself before following behind her. The sooner we could get Amelia put to bed, the sooner I could get Melanie in hers.
I walked into the bright pink room that was filled with unicorns to see Melanie sitting on the edge of Amelia’s bed with a book in her hand. I leaned against the door frame, watching as Melanie read the bedtime story to Amelia. She was fighting to keep her eyes open as her mom told a story of a magical unicorn who found a candy mountain.
Melanie looked back to me with a smile on her face, stopping momentarily.
“Don’t stop, mommy,” Amelia mumbled with her eyes completely closed. I laughed as Melanie turned around and finished the last three pages of the story before placing a kiss on Amelia’s forehead and quietly leaving the room.
Melanie didn’t say a word to me but grabbed my hand and pulled me toward her room. A smile crept across my face as I watched her walk in front of me, my subsided erection now coming back to life. Melanie pulled us into her room, where she made sure to lock the bedroom door while I made my way toward her bed.
She turned toward me, sheepishly walking my way. Her hands were fumbling with the edge of her shirt and I didn’t know if she was going to tease me or let me finally see her naked body again. I missed it in my hands. I missed kneading her thighs and ass in my palm and kissing my way between her breasts.
When she was within reaching distance, I grabbed for her hands and pulled her into my arms. I took a seat on the bed and Melanie now towered over me. Melanie’s hands reached out to touch my face and I leaned in, placing a kiss on her lips. I wanted to devour her in this moment but I didn’t want it to be over before it started because that’s how I was feeling right now. I was pent up from not only watching her body tonight but from watching her be a mom. It was sexy to see her in that role and made me want her all the more but I kept it locked down. I wanted to be a gentleman but I also wanted to make sure the time was right for her, since it was her life that I was impeding into, not the other way around.
Her lips pressed back to mine and her fingers pressed into my cheeks as she pulled me closer to her. My arms tightened around her waist but she wasn’t having it. She pulled from my embrace and climbed on top of my lap, my cock resting underneath her. I grabbed for her waist again, pulling her down so that she was sitting on my cock. I groaned at the friction and she deepened the kiss, taking advantage of my open mouth and devouring me the way I wanted to her.
My hands made their way to Melanie’s ass, grabbing for it and moving her against me. Her whimpers fueled me on, letting me know that she was enjoying this as much as I was.
“Jack.” My name slipped off Melanie’s lips as she pulled away, staring down at me. She pulled her hands away from my face and let her fingers trace down to the top button of my shirt, popping the button out of the hole.
“Melanie.” I squeezed her ass again, holding her still against me.
We were suspended in a moment of stares that were electrically charged by the sexual tension we’d created. It wasn’t pent up in the traditional sense of us not having sex but from the sheer fact that we wanted to be connected to each other and could now finally do so.
I wanted to sink myself deep inside of her and the way she pulled off my lap to look down at my rock-hard cock straining against my dress slacks, I knew she wanted the same thing.
“I want to feel all of you,” Melanie’s words were a whisper as she leaned into me again, capturing my lips with hers.
She wanted to feel, so I was going to let her feel every single inch of me. I was going to let her take the night as slow or as fast as she wanted to go. My priority was to make sure that we covered every base she wanted to and by the morning when we both woke up, it wouldn’t be as two people who were just dating. It would be something so significantly more.
It would be us taking the next step toward our future.
At least, for me it would be.

I was going down the list of what all I had accomplished today for one of our clients. I only needed to make a few review graphics and then I could start on the next client I had in my queue. I leaned back in my chair, taking a short break before pulling out my phone and thumbing through it.
Melanie hadn’t messaged me since this morning but then again she knew I was at work. Since last week, we’d been better than I could have ever thought we would be. We’d only been dating a little over a month but with how open Melanie had been last week, it felt like we were further along than that. It’d come to me spending almost every night at her place and having family dinners every night between her, myself, and Amelia.
Mom was more than excited for tomorrow night, when she finally roped me into coming back over for family dinner. She’d tried to get me to convince Melanie to come but I wanted to get to my mom first before I let Melanie into the lions den. They knew each other but this was different. I was a pure mama’s boy and when it came to my heart, my mom was the one who always made sure it was protected, so letting her and Melanie be together, knowing that it wasn’t just for fun, that was going to be a completely different experience.
“What do you want?” I snapped. I didn’t have to look up to see my office door open slowly from the corner of my eye.
The guys knew not to come in here unless they called or messaged me first.
“Hey,” Melanie’s soft voice filled my office. I was out of my chair and in front of her in a matter of seconds. She stood there sheepishly with a white bag filled to the brim in her hands.
“Love.” My arms wrapped around her. I took the bag from her and lead her into the office. I tried to kick the door closed behind me but missed. I let it go, not wanting to let Melanie go in the process. “What are you doing here?”
I leaned down to give her a kiss as she took a seat in front of my desk.
