I see her shoulders relax.

“Okay, that makes more sense. I didn’t want to be swarmed, so it was a good call. I just thought…not that they were holding a grudge as such, but that everyone wanted to pretend nothing happened. And I didn’t realize how not okay with that I am until I thought it was happening.”

“I get it. If you pretend something didn’t happen, you take away its importance.”

“Exactly. It changed my whole life. I couldn’t forget that even if most days I want to.”

“I just want to ease you into it. They can make their amends when we don’t have a party going on or another chapter in.”

She reaches over and rests her hand on my thigh. “Thanks, Kruger.”

“Anytime, chestnut.” I cover her hand with mine, where it stays until we make it home.

I jump out and open the door for her. She takes my hand and keeps hold of it as I help her out and walk her up to the door. I key in the alarm code and let us in before locking up. I leanagainst the door as she watches me, a sense of déjà vu hitting me. The last time we stood like this, I let the bullshit consume me. As time wore on and I struggled to bridge the gap between us, I stood by and watched the chasm erode even more.

Not anymore.

“Come here.” I crook my finger at her. She bites her lip and walks to me. Once she’s close, I hook my finger in the belt loops of her jeans and pull her in tight so I can kiss her. Her hands slide up my chest to wrap around my neck, as I revel in the taste of her.

I groan when she breaks the kiss, but it’s only so she can shrug out of her jacket. I take it and hang it on the hook near the door, alongside my cut. She turns so her back is to me, then bends down, sticking her ass out as she tugs off her boots. I move behind her, cupping her ass, loving how it feels in these jeans.

“Want to take a shower with me?”

“If that answer is ever no, get me medical attention because I must have had a stroke.”

She laughs as she reaches for the hem of her top and pulls it up over her head before shaking her hair free. She uses the shirt to cover her chest with one hand, and now it’s her turn to crook her finger at me.

I’m more than happy to follow her. I toe off my boots as she moves into the living room, tossing her top onto the sofa before unbuckling her belt and lowering her zipper. I grip my T-shirt behind my shoulders and tug it up over my head. I throw it on the sofa as she shimmies out of her jeans, leaving her in nothing but her underwear and jewelry. I pop open the button on my jeans and lower my zipper as Delphi grabs a cushion from the sofa and puts it on the ground.

“Change of plans.” She gets to her knees on the cushion and looks up at me as she tugs my jeans lower and reaches inside them.

My cock is rock-hard now and offering zero protests. I gather her hair in one hand and twist it away from her face as she pulls my cock free. She licks from base to tip. She slips just the tip between her lips and sucks, making me curse before she takes me deeper. She pulls free and licks the length of the sensitive vein, making me shiver before taking me back in her mouth, this time almost to the root. She gags a little and looks up at me with tears in her eyes. Fuck, it takes everything I have in me not to come down her throat right here and now. She bobs her head before taking me as far as she can go, making me growl.

“You like my cock in your mouth, chestnut? You like the thought of bringing me to my knees, don’t you?”

She moans around me, making me curse.

“Jesus, fuck. You’re going to make me come so fucking hard. You want that? Want to swallow it all down like a good girl?”

She releases my cock with a pop, her eyes hooded as she stares up at me. “Do it. I want to taste you.” She wraps her hand around the base of my cock and slides it back into her mouth, stroking and licking with her tongue before she starts sucking once more.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” Here it comes, baby.

She swallows me down, ripping a groan of pleasure from me before I erupt down her throat. She eases me out before licking me clean.

“You fucking slay me, chestnut.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. And now, it’s time for me to return the favor.”

I pick her up and toss her over my shoulder, making her squeal. A slap on the ass turns her squeal into a moan as I carry her upstairs and drop her on the bed. I peel her soaked underwear down her legs and throw it away before crawling between her legs.

I dip my head and suck a cherry red nipple into my mouth, eliciting a gasp from her. I move to the other, licking it before I work my way down her body. I kiss her stomach, dipping my tongue into her belly button and making her squirm before I spread her wide. I press my nose to her pussy and breathe her in, then swipe my tongue through her nectar, making us both groan. “Fucking knew you’d taste like liquid gold.”

I slip a finger inside her, slowly sliding it in and out before I add a second. I scissor them as I suck her clit into my mouth. I grin against her, blowing lightly when she fists the sheets, and her head starts thrashing from side to side.

“You’re going to come already, aren’t you? Did you get yourself worked up sucking my cock, chestnut? Were you imagining it sliding into your tight pussy every time it slid into your throat?”
