Friends are as good as family—treat themaccordingly.
Always be confident, but learn to balance it with humility. Always behumble.
When in doubt, ask the hardquestions.
I won’t always be there to help you while you struggle but remember these words and take them into account. Add to this list as you grow and learn your own code, but never subtract fromit.
I will always love you,son.

As I finished the letter,I heard a large crash in the warehouse. I sprang to my feet, rushing to see what happened. A crate was on its side, Nate scrambling off theforklift.
“What the fuck happened?” I barked, flying up to Nate’s side as he stumbled out of the driver’sseat.
“Fuck, the crate lost its balance.” His hands were in the air as he stared down at the cracked wood, half off thelift.
“Just go home.” I checked to make sure there wasn’t too much damage. Thankfully therewasn’t.
“Ax, I swear, it was just an accident.” He tried to defendhimself.
“It’s fine. Your head’s just not in the game today. Get some rest and be sharptomorrow.”

Good morning, handsome,” I whispered in Ryan’s ear as he stretched. “Happybirthday!”
He groaned and mumbled, “Don’t remindme.”
I shifted into his arms as he tucked me into his side. “What’swrong?”
“Just another year older. I found a few gray hairs yesterday,” Ax complained before kissing my cheek. “I have to head to the office early so I can be back here and ready for dinnertonight.”
“Emily and Fletch are going to watch Mikey for us. I’m going to go over there before you get home to drop him off so I can have you all to myself for a few hours.” I told the lie through gritted teeth. Ryan had made me promise I wasn’t going to throw him a party, but he would love it once it was actually happening. It was starting to get to the end of weather cool enough for bonfires, so it was perfecttiming.
I sat in bed watching Ryan trim up his beard and brush his teeth. I knew it was weird, but I loved watching him make a complete mess of himself. Whiskers all over the place, suds of toothpaste dripping into his facial hair—it wasadorable.
I stopped him as he started to button up his dark blue dress shirt. “You have a few minutes before you have to bein.”
He shot me a knowing glance, before letting the shirt fall to the floor. “I always have time for you,babe.”
He pulled my silk teddy up over my head, letting his fingertips roll over my breast and down mystomach.
Getting on his knees, he pulled my legs up over his. Putting his fingers to my lips, he watched as I sucked on them gently. He quickly pushed two fingers into me as I arched myback.
“Gah, that feels so good,” I moaned as he gently got me ready forhim.
“And it’s only the beginning,” he responded while rolling the head of his dick over myclit.
Thrusting into me, he pulled on my hip bones perfectly. I grabbed my tits as they bounced with everypump.
Locking eyes, Ryan winked at me as a huge smile spread on hislips.
“What?” I asked with agiggle.
“You’re just so fucking sexy. I can’t stand it sometimes,” he replied before leaning down to kissme.
