“Rest, honey. You need it.” When I stand up, his hand squeezes mine for a moment, and the minute he lays his head on the pillow, he’s out like a light.
I snag my phone from the rolling table, look at the screen, and see it was Ronnie who called; she followed it up with a text.
Ronnie: Hey, I just got your message. Don’t call me back. I’ve got your shifts covered for the rest of the week. Take care of your man <3
Me: Hi, sorry I missed your call. Are you sure? I know it’s short notice. I can come in this weekend.
Ronnie: Absolutely not. Take care of you, take care of your man, and make sure you tell us if you need anything. I know the group chat is blowing up right now. We’re coming up with a meal train as we speak. Talk soon!
“Wow,” I whisper, sitting back in the chair, closing my eyes, and relaxing. This is the first time in over a day I’ve taken a deep breath and can finally release the tension. My stomach isn’t in knots, either. Yeah, I’ve got a brother who’s pissed to hell, but I’ve also got a man who loves me, family who are happy for us, and friends at my back. I’d say I’m pretty damn lucky, and I get to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams.

Locke
“Fuck, it’s good to be home,” I say as I walk through the door after being in the hospital longer than initially thought. The doctor wanted to make sure my hardware wouldn’t be rejected, then they had to find a physical therapist who would come to the house for the first couple of weeks. Jade’s doing; otherwise, I’d be in a car several times a week to get to a doctor’s office, and that sounded like my version of hell.
“Shower?” she asks. I nod in answer. I’ve already got my shoes off and am unbuttoning my shirt. Looks like I’ll be wearing these types for the next few weeks, which is a pain in my fucking ass. I’m a tee and jeans kind of guy, didn’t even own any button-ups, which made Mom run off to the store to buy a slew of them. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I’ll only wear them if I’m out and about or if someone comes to the house. “Locke.” Jade moves in to help me, like she has been all along.
“Sugar, I can undress. Might need help in the shower,” I say with a wink.
“I just bet you do. Need me to wash you, honey?” she asks while stripping out of her clothes and walking backward into the bathroom.
“Fuck yeah, need your lips wrapped around my cock, too.” Her bra drops to the ground with a flick of her wrist; the pantiesgo next with a quick tug and a shimmy of her hips. “Jesus, you’re so goddamn pretty, Jade.” I take the rest of my clothes off using one hand, following her until she’s backed against the vanity.
“Locke.” My name leaves her lips on a moan.
“Lift up, sugar,” I say, wrapping my hand around her hip, helping her get situated on the counter.
“Honey, as much as I want and need you, this isn’t a great idea.” I wedge myself between her legs, spreading her wide. It’d be damn easy to make her stay still, hold on to the ledge, and fuck her fast and deep.
“Not fucking you, not with my cock at least. Want you to ride my fingers before we get in the shower. I’m gonna sit on the bench, and you’ll be on your knees with your lips wrapped around my cock, doing all the work. Then we’ll get clean, and we’ll nap before the physical therapist gets here.” I lick my lips, dip my head, and sweep my thumb across her wet slit.
“You’ve got it all figured out, huh? Promise me, though, if it hurts, even for a minute, you stop. I can take care of myself, okay?” She rocks her hips, moving to get my fingers where she wants them.
“Fuck, that’s gonna happen, too. Might not be tonight, but soon. Been too long since you’ve let me watch.” I flick my wrist and slip two fingers inside, keeping my thumb pressed against her clit.
“Let you watch? Pretty sure one thing leads to another, and you dole out my orgasms.” Her eyes drop from mine to where I’m working between her legs. It’s hot as hell watching my fingers tunnel in and out of her tight, wet cunt.
“You complainin’?” My dick is rock hard, precum leaking at the tip, and this wild cat of a woman wraps her hand around my length at the same time I curl my fingers inside her.
“No. Never.” She starts to slide her hand up and down, twisting her wrist and doing everything she knows I like.
“Didn’t think so.” I’m pissed as hell I have to do this one-handed; I don’t care about the pain or what I went through or will go through. But not being able to fuck my woman the way I want to? I’m cursing the bastard black and blue in my head.
“Can feel you’re close, sugar. Need you to get there. Wanna come down your throat, not in your hand.” I grumble when she tightens her hold.
“Locke.”
“That’s right, Jade. Say my name. Say my name when you come all over my hands.” I redouble my efforts, going harder with my fingers, pressing down on her clit before thrumming, going back and forth.
“Locke,” she utters my name again. This time, her hips rock forward, her head tips back, elongating her throat. The mark she had days ago is gone. I’m gonna need to rectify that, and soon. Her cunt squeezes my fingers like a vice, and she falls apart. There’s no need to swallow her moans. I love nothing more than hearing her shatter. I slow down but keep my fingers working inside her, to fuck her through this one, keeping her on edge while she’s in the shower with me.
“Time to shower, sugar. Won’t take me long to come after witnessing you coming on my fingers.” Once her eyes open, skin flush, lips moist, and chest heaving, I pull them out. Instead of wiping them on her spread thighs, I bring them to my mouth. “Watch.” I suck them into my mouth, savoring her taste as her flavor explodes on my tongue. Shit, with this bum fucking shoulder, it’s going to be nearly impossible for her to ride my face anytime soon.
“Jesus, Locke. Shower, now.” She slides off the counter. I follow her, staying pressed to her back, my cock sitting between the globes of her ass. Jade bends ever so slightly to turn the water on and adjust the temperature, and I dip my hips. Thehead of my cock slips between her thighs, wetness coats me, and she’s not the only one fucking moaning.
“I should take you just like this.” Her hips jut back, tipping upward and allowing my head to sink inside her.
