“Just thinking that us having sex has the earth moving.” I giggle as I look at the ceiling, feeling silly and happy all in one, and not worried about sounding crazy with this man. Karter isn’t like any other boy I’ve dated. Which is probably the reason. He’s all man—no boy here at all. And he listens to what I have to say. He might not agree with everything, but he doesn’t make me feel dumb for saying anything.
Even now, he just smiles at me with a shake of his head.
“Babygirl, we haven’t even begun to make the earth move,” he taunts, and I huff out a laugh, then a shout ofsurprise as he grabs my ankle. Pulling me toward him, he lifts my ankle to his shoulder as he kneels on the bed.
“What are you doing?” I try to rise onto my elbows, but he grabs the other ankle and pulls till my knees bend over his shoulders and my head is all that remains on the bedspread.
“I never got to finish my dessert.”
“But….”
“But what?” He looks up at me with hooded eyes. “But I just came in you, and now I’m going to lick it up along with your juices?”
My lips part on his words, and I nod. Well, as much as I can from this angle.
“My Babygirl tastes too good for me to care about my own taste.”
And then the man does the craziest thing. He goes down on me. Again. And he doesn’t stop this time till I come on his tongue. Twice.
“Where the hell have you been hiding all my life?” I shake my head out as he lowers my limp legs off him. They spread wide, no energy to even close them.
“Waiting for you to become a legal age and then losing my mind. All before I met you.”
I laugh as he inches his way up to my face, kissing a path as he goes, from my pelvic bone to both hips, my belly button, the small freckle below my left boob, each nipple, and then my heart. When he finally reaches my lips, he stills.
“I’ve waited longer than most do for you, so get used to this, Babygirl, because I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”
“Okay, Daddy,” I whisper, and the sparkle in his eyes says it all. He likes me saying it, just like I like hearing him say it.
His kiss is softer this time. Gentler. I match his energy and let our tongues roll together, neither fighting for dominance.
And when he enters me with a simple thrust, I welcome him easily, still sloppy wet from his mouth on me only minutes before. We sway together, taking our time as the lust of what started all of this fades until it’s just us.
We find our release together, neither of us talking or demanding that the other get there. We do so easily and with a gentleness that makes this moment shine even brighter than the ones before.
With a soft kiss, he pulls out and rolls to the side, taking me with him to rest on him. The bed is a mess,but neither of us cares. And I wouldn’t have the energy to do anything about it if I did.
“Night, Babygirl.”
“Night….” I hesitate on what to say. The moment is over, and “Daddy” doesn’t seem to fit. His friends call him Law, but I never have. Now that we’ve taken this step forward, it almost seems like a name has more pressure on it than it did before.
“Karter, baby. With you, I’m always Karter.” He kisses my hair, and I snuggle in deeper as he wraps me in his arms.
“Night, Karter.”
Chapter 14 - Karter
Two Weeks Later
“I’ll see y’all later.” I wave off the boys as they try to get me to join another round of poker.
The last few weeks have been a routine for some, but one I enjoy.
My days are filled with the boys, and my nights are spent with Babygirl, starting at her place to fix something her Nana needs and then ending up at my place if she isn’t too tired. If she is, I say goodnight at her place and then sit outside for longer than I should before I go home. Which makes me feel off.
Being in my home without her feels different now that we’ve taken that next step into her becoming mine. I’m not claiming her outright. Too much baggage to put that on her right now. But one day I will. I want to. I like her more than a little. Actually, it’s more than like, and I know what I’m feeling. I might not recall the woman I loved for the first part of my life, but I know the feeling. It’s pretty darn close to what I’m feeling for Diana.
“You going to seeheragain?”
