She pulls back a little to take in my expression. “Took you long enough to catch on,” she teases. For that, I grab her ass and give it a nice squeeze, a playful scolding noise coming out from where I’m biting my bottom lip, squinting at her.
“I’m never letting you go now, you know,” I tell her.
At that, she kisses me deeply, taking away any remaining breath I still had. She gives me one more peck and says, “Good. It’s you and me, Stone. Like it’s always been.” She tilts her head to the side, smiling at me. “But now, with more fun!” She says that last bit like she’s doing voiceover on a cheesy infomercial, and I laugh at her.
She smiles back at me and climbs off of me, stepping away.
I pout at her in a way that should be pretty adorable, it’s my puppy dog face, but she doesn’t come back to me. “Where are you going?” I ask her.
She looks between my face and her thighs a couple times quickly, a little unsure. “Your, uh, your goods are kinda leaking out of me.”
The laugh that escapes me is way too loud for the moment, but I can’t help it. She’s so fucking adorable, hits me with humor at the most unexpected times, and I’m so glad that sex didn’t change that between us. I roll over into the couch, doubling over with how hard I'm cracking up.
I hear her giggle back, and squint my eyes to watch her run away to get cleaned up.
When I catch my breath, I follow her, joining her in the shower and getting her filthy all over again. And again for good measure. And oh, if you’re wondering, I definitely pass the eight-minute mark by the third time.

Twelve.
Twelve whole minutes without you.
The longest I’ve gone in weeks.
I don’t like it.
He sends a gif of a cartoon animal furiously shaking its head, and I roll my eyes at his antics. He’s such a dork.
