I haven’t answered her question, even though she needs one. Instead I move my way down the bed, opening her legs wide. Perfection looks back at me. I need her now.
"Alex..." she whispers quietly. "What are you doing?"
Kissing her inner thigh, I spread her open and take a long, leisurely lick between her folds, tasting her sweet nectar. Gemma moans as my tongue reaches her clit and circles it. I groan as I enjoy her getting wet with my every suck andtouch. I bring a finger to her entrance and I push it in, teasing her, just as I hear Eden calling me.
"Fuck." In a panic, I jump off Gemma and get dressed as fast as I can. "Sorry," I say, pecking her on the lips. “You better get dressed too."
Gemma nods and pulls her nightie back on, slipping under the covers.
I check on Eden, who’s sitting up in her bed. "I heard weird noises," Her little brows pinch together.
“Sorry, baby. Daddy kicked his toe."
Eden tilts her head, I’m not sure if she believes me. "Did Gemma kiss it better?"
"Yes, she did," I say, lying Eden back down. "Now, try to get some sleep."
I go back to Gemma and sigh. "We'll have to wait until they go for a sleepover at Mum and Dad's."
"They're back soon," Gemma says reassuring me. "I liked what you were doing to me… before… with your fingers." She blushes. Of course, this is all new to her.
"I'm glad." I smile, kissing her. She turns around and I spoon her, sliding my arm around to cup her breast.
Chapter
Sixteen
ALEX
Ace and Edenare staying with their grandparents for the night. Gemma and I wait for Mum and Dad to come and pick them up before we share a shower. I love the way the water runs off her body. I'm tempted to take her then, but we have a night out planned and I don't want to ruin it.
I have been looking forward to this for weeks—a night out with just Gemma. We still haven’t labelled what we are, but I'm enjoying the time I'm spending with her and the kids. We're already planning a summer holiday, and we have Ace's birthday coming up. The children are so happy, and that makes me even more fortunate than I am already.
I take a drink to her in the living room; she’s sitting on the sofa yawning.
“Are you tired?” I ask, kissing her head. She smells amazing.
“Very. Children are hard work, but I'm excited to go out, so let's go." She sits there with her eyes shut tight.
“Yes. They are,” I agree. “Go and slip on something comfortable. I’ll order in.” She doesn't argue and goesupstairs while I order Thai food. Looking around the messy house, I decide to tidy up a bit by loading the dishwasher and putting on laundry. Then, I give the kitchen a once-over and dispose of a few chocolate wrappers which have been hidden between the sofa cushions. It would seem Gemma doesn't listen to a word I say.
She's not back down by the time the delivery guy rings the doorbell. I set the food on the counter, then call from the bottom of the stairs, "Gemma?"
She doesn't answer, I make my way up to my bedroom, calling her name. When I get there, I find her naked and passed out on my bed. Before I place a blanket over her beautiful body, I memorise every inch of her. “Hmm,” Gemma mumbles.
“Food is here, but go to sleep. I'll put it away for later.” My voice is low, trying to let her rest.
“No, I just needed a nap, I’m on my way,” she slurs with her eyes half open this time.
“Okay, I’ll plate up.” I chuckle, leaving her be.
While I set the food, Gemma walks down the stairs in just a red, see-through chemise. Her pink nipples are poking through the fabric. My dick hardens. She knows what she's doing by not wearing any knickers or bra. I want her. Walking over to her, I pick her up.
“Woah, what are you doing?” She giggles.
“Don't act like you don’t know what you do to me," I whisper. "I need you now.”
Lying her down on the dining table, I open her legs. She bites her finger and leans back, as I kiss my way down her body. My mouth finds her most sensitive part.
