“Don’t then.”
I claimed her mouth as mine, hoping to stem the tide of words, but this couldn’t go unspoken.
“You’re my boss.”
“I’ll fire you,” I said, thrusting just a little to draw out this sensation. “Find you a job somewhere else, then you can come back here and spend the night in my bed.”
“No one else wanted to hire me, remember?”
The fact her voice was a little breathy gave me hope.
“Then you’ll just work for the refuge,” I said, depositing kisses, more kisses along her neck. “Charlie will be your boss during the day and at night…” I was getting all hot and bothered and nothing I seemed to do would make my cock go down. Mackenzie was slipping through my fingers and all I wanted to do was hold on. “You’ll be mine.”
“Troy…” She shifted then, pulling free of me and I let out a gasp at that loss, right as she turned my way. “This is?—”
“Don’t.” I pressed a kiss to her forehead and just closed my eyes, willing her to leave reality behind for just a minute. Everything that would tear us apart was just outside that door, so that’s why we had to hunker down here for as long as possible. “Don’t worry about tomorrow or the future or anything.” Picking up her thigh, I placed it across my hips, then pulled her closer. “Just stay with me for now, Mackenzie. Just stay.”
“OK, so what will we…?”
I answered her the only way I knew how. No good with words, I was a man of action. Pressing myself back into her felt like coming home and I could only take in a full breath when I was deep inside her.
“You know.” I thrust deeper, harder, her moans all the encouragement I needed. “You know, Mackenzie. Nothing feels more right than this. Just give me this…”
So she did.
Slower this time, because the hot edge of novelty was worn away and replaced by a far deeper and more satisfying feeling.I took her to the edge, over and over, not relenting until we couldn’t take anymore. It made the release when it came so fucking sweet it almost brought tears to my eyes. She snuggled down after I went and cleaned her up, quiet now and sleepy. The afternoon ended the way it began, me watching her sleep, until finally night fell.
“Well, well…”Charlie looked up from the stew pot she was stirring, her hands going to her hips. “Where have you been, big brother?”
“That smile…” Billy held out a shaking finger. “That twinkle in his eyes.”
“My eyes don’t twinkle,” I snapped, but there was no real heat in it.
“You got laid.” Bronson leaned against the kitchen doorway, then nodded at me. “Finally. That’s why you aren’t stomping around here like someone shoved a wire brush up your arse.”
Ignoring the lot of them, I dished up two bowls of mashed potato and stew, then made for the exit.
“You did get laid!” Billy yelped and that earned him a dark look.
I pointed at him. “Shut up.” Then I turned to my sister. “Mackenzie is now your employee. Treat her well, make sure she has something to do, and don’t let her overwork herself.” Looking at Bronson, my brother’s eyebrow rose slowly. “You’re the smartest of the bunch. We’ll talk about giving you more responsibilities, as I might need you to take the lead on more things.”
They all started to talk at once, but I silenced them with a look and stalked out, making for my bedroom.
“This is just a bit of summer fun,” I told them. “Mackenzie and I, we’re adults doing adult things.” I held up the bowls.“After this, I’m hoping we can do yet more adult things together.”
“Mate, gross…” Billy said with a wrinkle of his nose.
“A casual fling?” Charlie’s hands went to her hips. “You’ve never done anything casually in your life, Troy.”
Well, I was about to learn how. Mackenzie stirred as soon as I walked in, then smiled and sat up when she saw the food.
“That smells amazing…”
Settling behind her on the bed, I pulled her close, then handed her a bowl. We might not have a long time… I froze for a second, not really wanting to think about this. But while she was here, I’d make sure Mackenzie would have a good time.
