Grinning at my reaction, swirling his tongue around and around it.Why isn’t he using the whipped cream?

Groaning, I pulled my hands out of his hair and clutched his neck.“Eli,”I begged. “Why are you teasing me?”

As he moved, he bit my neck, and I cried out in pleasure.

Every pulse of my heart gave me pleasure as his venom entered my body. My body jerked against him of its own volition as he sensually pumped his hips.

“I need you,” he said, voice husky.

“You can have me,” I replied. “Always.”

He collapsed on top of me, slowly pumping his hips. “You’re amazing, Riley. It’s like your body was made for mine.”

I laughed, remembering Michael uttering those exact same words many times over the years. “I think it must’ve been.”

Unable to go slow for long, his speed built, and he moved his weight onto one hand while wrapping the other around me. He lifted me in a way I wouldn’t have thought possible, so that I was sort of sitting on his hips at an angle. Shifting onto his knees, he grabbed my hips, partially holding me up with his arms so that he could thrust into me.

The unique angle gave him the best spot to thrust, pushing me into another orgasm quicker than I would’ve thought possible. His hips and arms worked together, and I just rode the wave of pleasure. Once I grew quiet, he slowed and moved us.

I was so sated, I didn’t know if I could have moved myself anyway.

He let go of my hair and curled his body around mine, hugging me close as he climaxed. He kept his arm around me and pulled me sideways with him onto the bed. “I need to run to the bathroom,” I said. He pulled me tight. “In a minute Riley, geez. Haven’t you ever heard of cuddling?”

“Cuddling is awesome, but it can wait until I’m clean.”This bedspread that we don’t have any idea whose fluids might already be on it.I really tried not to think about that part.

He squeezed me again. “I’ll leave more money since they’ll need to clean this room too. ”

I shook my head at his stubbornness as I wiggled in his tight grip until I faced him.

“That was pretty great,” he said.

“Yes, it was.” Michael’s face popped into my head. “I didn’t think twice about it, either.”

“I think he’s made it pretty clear that he’s open to us having a relationship. And he was gone for a long time, Ri. He has to expect that your wants and needs have changed.”

“They have. I don’t think I’d feel complete any more without you in my life. You’re my best friend.” He had become my rock, my buddy, my trainer. He was a huge part of my life.

“And Anthony?” he asked.

“Anthony was a curveball, that’s for sure, but…” I didn’t know how to explain it. “I don’t want him to leave.”

“I know he doesn’t want to leave. He can’t get enough of you.” Elias grinned. “He’s gonna be so pissed when he finds out we didn’t wake him up.”

“I guess we’ll have to make it up to him,” I mused.

“You will! I’m not apologizing.” He popped a kiss on my nose. “Come on, let’s get back to bed before we’re missed.”

I put my shirt and undies back on. We left another large wad of bills. “Are you going to run out of money?”

Elias laughed. “That will never be a problem for you again, Riley. We have money, Michael has money, by extension as his legal wife, you now have money, and lots of it.”

I shook my head, unable to comprehend not worrying about bills. “If you say so.”

We crept back to the room we shared with Anthony and Michael and found them still lying in the same positions we’d left them. I climbed into the bed beside Anthony. Elias joined us on my other side.

Anthony grumbled and pulled me close and sleep suddenly sounded like the best thing I could do. I closed my eyes with Elias pressed to my front, Anthony pressed to my back, and Michael asleep in the corner, hopefully dream-free.

Only three hours passed before we were woken by a banging on our door. “It’s five in the morning, children. Time to get up!” Mama Pacha cackled, and we heard the bathroom door slam.
