When we got back to Kendall’s apartment, Travis conked out while Kendall all but shoved me into the bathroom.

“What are you—” I began before she undid my jeans and slid her palm inside to curl around my length.I nearly choked on my words, and just when I thought maybe I had this under control, that maybe I had the upper hand in this situation, she leaned down and swirled her tongue around my crown.“Kendall…” I rasped.

I felt the vibration of her giggle around my shaft as she proceeded to drive me absolutely out of my mind.At the feel of the warm suction of her mouth around my length, my knees buckled.I slapped a hand against the door behind me at the feel of another giggle humming around me.I bit out, “Kendall,” only to have her giggle again.

This was a new experience for me.The most intense blow job I’d ever received involved giggles and vibration.When she tilted her head to the side and looked up at me, eyes sly and sensual, my heart thumped hard in response.

She leaned back, releasing me with a little pop.“Do you want more?”she asked.

Somewhere along the way, I’d laced my hand in her hair, and I gripped a little tighter as I gasped, “Yes.”

She sucked me in again, sending me spinning into my release as it sizzled through me like a lightning strike.She leaned back as it spilled over her hand and chest before she swirled her tongue around the crown once more.Her eyes lifted to mine with a smile, and my knees went weak all over.Moments later, we stumbled into the shower together.

Later that night, while we lounged on the couch, Kendall studied and Travis napped against my hip.I thought maybe, just maybe, I’d found heaven on earth.A little while later, when I was drifting off to sleep, I realized the only downside to all of this was that it was so good that if something went wrong, it would gut me.

The following morning, I drove Kendall out to the rescue program again.As she was climbing out of my truck, I asked, “Dinner?”

She glanced over.“Always.”

Today’s trip for me was a sightseeing flight with two sets of customers, including Emily, who, to be honest, was beginning to get annoying.She oohed and aahed to rather dramatic effect as I flew over the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage.Even her brother looked annoyed with her.

When we were loading up the plane at the small airport in Willow Brook, Asher had warned me she was flirting with all of us.“As far as I can tell, she’s taking the throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall approach,” he offered with a dry chuckle.

I took the tight, bland-smile, not-react-to-anything approach.I didn’t want to be rude, but there wasnoway.There wouldn’t have been before.It wasn’t a hard and fast rule, per se, now that we were up and running at the resort again, but we’d all basically agreed, through actions, not conversation, that getting involved with customers could be an issue.I figured the only way that could even get tested was if someone was actually interested.

When I landed back in Willow Brook late in the afternoon, I stopped in at Firehouse Café before heading back out to Heartfire Falls.“Well, well, well,” Janet said when she caught my eye.

I grinned over at her.“Well, well, well, to you too.”

She chuckled as Luna came walking out from the back with a tray of donuts that she began placing in the display case.“Can I get a dozen of those?”I asked.

Luna glanced up with a smile.“Of course.”

“Is a dozen enough for your family?”Janet teased.

“I should do two dozen, but it seems like there’s never two dozen available.”

“I have a new oven,” Luna offered, “so supply is better overall.”

“I’m telling you, these donuts are addictive,” I said, taking one she passed over and biting into it.

Luna’s eyes brightened.“I love hearing that.”

“Have you thought about doing these on a larger scale?”

Luna paused as she put the last donut from the tray into the case.

“I have, and I actually don’t think it would be fun.I like doing the small batches and enjoying the process.It just feels good this way.I’m also taking over the café, and that is my lifetime career goal.”

“I heard that and I think it’s awesome,” I replied.

“You do?”Luna looked at me, worry flickering in her eyes.

“Yeah.I mean, we all want Janet to live forever and to work here forever, but I can’t imagine the hours are great,” I pointed out.

Janet rolled her eyes.“I’m used to it.By nature, I’m a morning person, so I’ve made it work.But you are absolutely right that I can’t do it forever.Conveniently, Luna is also a morning person.”
