He lifted his head to capture my mouth. Our tongues slid together, wet and hungry. His dick plunged full length each time.
"I love you, Ava," he said between kisses with his forehead pressed to mine and eyes locked on me. "You're mine, and I ain't never lettin' you forget how much you mean to me."
His words washed over me, making tears prick my eyes because he knew the pain I carried from past hurts, the ones that made me doubt I'd ever feel safe like this, and he poured himself into proving me wrong.
I was happier than I ever thought possible, being loved the right way by this man who surprised me every damn day with how deep his heart ran under that tough exterior.
He shifted his angle, grinding harder now, and I cried out as sparks shot through me. My pussy clenched around his dick in waves.
"I'm close, Reek... Cum with me,please," I begged, nails raking down his back.
He nodded, breath ragged against my neck. "Together, BB," he promised, thrusting faster, deeper, his dick swelling inside me as he chased that edge with me.
The pressure built until it snapped. My orgasm crashed hard, pussy pulsing and squeezing him tight as I shattered, moaning his name loud. He followed right after, burying himself and groaning deep as he came. Hot spurts of cum flooded my pussy, filling me up while we rode it out locked together, bodies shaking in sync.
The second I got out of the car, I knew this house was the one. It sat back from the street behind a gate with a long driveway, wide front steps, big windows, and a huge yard for Cairo to play in. The home looked rich without trying too hard. The landscaping was beautiful.
I turned to Reek with a smile already on my face. “This might be the one.”
He came around the truck adjusting his watch and looking too good in the May sun. “You haven’t even gone inside yet. You already feel that way?”
“Yes,” I beamed. “Look at it.”
He looked at the house, then back at me. “You said that about the last one too.”
“I changed my mind.”
He chuckled as I started toward the gate, already feeling excited, then checked the time on my phone and groaned. “We need to hurry up. We have to get back and get ready for the wedding.”
He kept walking beside me like he had not a care in the world. “The wedding is tonight. We got time.”
I cut my eyes at him. “You know Rhythm is going to freak out if we aren’t at the venue on time.”
“You don’t need that long.”
“I just had a baby. Everything takes longer now.”
That got a grin out of him. “A’ight.”
The realtor was already waiting by the front door. While she unlocked it, I stood there taking the house in again and thinking about how many we had already seen over the last couple weeks. None of them were too close to the family. That mattered to me.I loved them, but I still needed space to feel like my life belonged to me too. That had been nonnegotiable. I didn’t want to live anywhere near the Cartier estate or Saint and Zahra’s, and Reek had lovingly obliged.
When we stepped inside, I felt it immediately. The house was beautiful, but it did not feel cold. That was what I cared about most. I didn’t want to live in another home that screamed money and perfection and left no room for love. I had lived in luxury with Mercer, but it never felt like a home. I didn’t want that for my family. I wanted warmth, comfort, and a place where kids could be loud, family could pull up, and love actually lived in the walls.
The foyer opened into a wide main level with high ceilings and enough natural light to make everything feel open without feeling sterile. It was so spacious. There was a living area that could actually hold our crew. The kitchen was big enough for family dinners, if I wanted to host, without us being on top of each other. The yard was big enough that Cairo and any future children could run around without feeling boxed in, and there was a pool as big as the one at the Cartier estate. There was also a basketball court that Reek was so excited about.
We walked through the main floor, then upstairs. I kept picturing our life in it. By the time we came back downstairs, I was in awe.
Reek noticed right away. “What’s wrong?”
“I like ita lot.”
“But?”
“I really like this one, but I still want to keep looking too. Just in case I see something better.”
“You think there’s better?”
“I don’t know.” I smiled up at him.
