Not tonight.
Not ever, if I can help it.
I don’t want to know about the men Jessie was with before me, and I certainly don’t want her to know about my history.
“I don’t want to know.”Jessie sips her drink, and I feel a sense of relief shoot through me.
“So, you start next week.”I punch Jayden in the arm.“Can’t wait to have you on the BHS team.”
Josh is happy.
“Yeah, it’s going to be good not wearing a fucking tie.”Jay smirks.
I guess he had to try it.Now he knows he’s not a corporate guy.
“Your boss mad?”I’ve barely talked to him over the past few weeks as I’ve been working on a black ops assignment and then racing home to Jessie.
We’ve spent it in bed and redecorating the house, so she feels like it's also her home.I never knew cushions, throws, and fresh flowers could make me happy.
They don’t.
It’s her.
Waking up to her beautiful eyes, the way she climbs under the covers and takes my cock in her mouth, or sneaks into the shower to surprise me.
How I can now play with her boobs while watching movies.Something I desperately wanted to do as a teenage boy.
Fortunately, she doesn’t know much about the danger of my work, or I think she’d be unhappy about it.Then again, she’s getting close to the girls, so that could change.
“I wasn’t making the company a lot of money, so I don’t think so.More pissed that he had to recruit someone new,” Jayden replies.
I see a shadow crossing Jay’s face.I need to sit down with him soon and talk.Something is off with him.
“I got a glimpse of your first assignment.Diplomat.Tiffany someone.Should be easy enough.”I sip my beer.
“As long as she’s not a demanding princess.”He sips his beer.“Better than a celebrity, I guess.”
I keep my thoughts to myself.These politicians can be a handful, I’ve heard.Oh well, nothing like throwing him into an interesting assignment.
“Okay, come on, you guys.Fireworks time!”Naomi calls out, and we join her and the rest of the family.
The usual neighbors are here tonight, along with all the kids from the street.The sky is clear, a billion stars above it, and everyone is wearing red, white, and blue in one form or another.
Jessie is in a short red sundress with cute white sneakers, and I’ve never seen her look sexier.
We told her family and my mom a few months ago that we were living together.That we were a couple.They were surprised and had a ton of questions.Over Zoom we answered them as best we could.
“You both look happy,” Mom smiled through the screen, shooting Mrs.Rogers a happy glance.“I think we should stay out of this and let the kids do what they want.”
“At long last.”Jessie rolled her eyes.
“Jessie, manners.”
“Dad, for God’s sakes,” she groaned.
I laughed, squeezing her knee.
Now, I have a little box in my pocket that is burning a hole in it and my heart rate is much higher than normal.
