I press my finger to her lips to quiet her.
“I know.” I lean down and kiss her. “I hate it for her and for you. I’ll never understand it because I’ve never been in your shoes. The thought is so alien to me that when I try toput myself in your place, I feel myself unraveling. The utter helplessness I feel just thinking about it is all-consuming. To actually experience it? Fuck no. I will never judge you for it.”
I kiss her again so she can taste the truth on my lips. Eventually, she drifts off to sleep, but like last night, I struggle to follow. Hours tick by before sleep finally pulls me under.
I wake with a start an hour later when I feel movement. I hold still as I feel Star climb up on the bed on the other side of Citi. I wait for her to settle before pulling the cover over her. I should probably take her back to her bed, but having them both here, where I can reach them, brings me comfort.
I drift off more easily this time, waking when the smell of bacon fills the air. Getting up, I head to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and will my hard-on to fuck off so I can take a piss. Once I’m done, I slip on some sweatpants and head downstairs, pausing when I hear a familiar voice. I round the corner, finding Nevaeh and Citi leaning over a stack of books while Havoc’s in the kitchen cooking.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Citi looks up at me and smiles. “Tutoring.”
I look at Nevaeh, who is wearing a white fitted blouse and a pair of glasses I’ve never seen before. She sees me looking and gets to her feet, showing the rest of her outfit, which includes an above-the-knee pleated skirt and a pair of knee-high socks.
“I’m her English teacher.”
I look over at Havoc, who grins at me. “And I don’t have to ask why you’re here. Not with that outfit.”
“Nope.”
Citi snickers. Nevaeh looks confused for a minute before her mouth drops open. She whirls on Havoc and points her finger at him. “You dirty, dirty boy. This is my teaching outfit, not my spanking one. That outfit has these cute little red lace panties with these little bows,” she tells Citi as Havoc groans.
“Not helping, cupcake,” he tells her while adjusting himself.
“You, sir, are a dog.”
“Woof, fucking woof.”
“And before my English lesson becomes a biology one, I’m going to take a break. I’ll find you later for my driving lesson, Havoc.” Citi shakes her head and gets to her feet, hurrying over to me as Havoc stalks toward Nevaeh.
“Quick, get me out of here before I need to bleach my eyeballs.”
I grin before picking her up and throwing her over my shoulder. She squeals as I carry her out of the room and up to the bedroom.
“Do not have sex in our kitchen, dammit,” she yells out, making me laugh.
When I get to the bedroom, I toss her on the bed, making her giggle. I follow her down and kiss her stupid before pulling back. “Where’s Star?”
“She’s at the clubhouse with Kruger and Legs.”
“That’s good. That’s really good,” I murmur, my hands sliding under the hem of her T-shirt.
“I have work in an hour,” she tells me breathlessly.
“Good thing your boss is in love with you.”
“Hmm…it is an added bonus,” she agrees, biting her lip in that way that drives me fucking insane.
I lean down and snag the lip with my teeth, snatching it from hers, making her gasp. I soothe the sting with my tongue.
“You are so fucking beautiful.”
She flushes, but she doesn’t look away from me, like my words might finally be penetrating.
I flip us so I’m underneath her. Her hair falls over us like a blanket, shutting out the world as her lips hover just above mine.
“I want you to strip naked for me, then ride my dick like a good girl.”
