It sends me straight into a world of stars, and I’m completely spent from my orgasm.

He slithers up my body, satisfied with his efforts, and kisses my lips to ensure I taste myself. “I need to taste you more often on my lips. One of these days, I will lock the door in my office and do it when I’m craving you.”

I swat him with my drowsy smile intact. “Don’t do that. I’ve lost focus on life right now. I don’t need that at the office.”

My hand searches for his cock, and I feel him hard. I want him in my mouth now, and I squeeze him.

“Breakfast is needed.” And he gets that I 100% mean him in my mouth.

Hayes eases my body to my side to enter me from behind. “No time. Now be a good girl and stay quiet while I quickly fuck you.”

“Yes, sir.” And I shimmy against his body.

After a shower and a change,I enter the kitchen and see Colleen cutting up toast for Lola.

“Morning,” I greet her, and she gives me a smile.

“Good morning. I woke a little while ago as east coast time kicked in. I figured I would get her ready.”

Yawning, I stretch as I tread over to the coffee machine. “Yeah, a good idea, thanks.”

“You made her dress that was laid out?”

I nod my head with a hint of pride. “I did.”

“It’s beautiful. Working on anything right now?”

“A sweater that I’m knitting, but I’ve kind of forgotten about it lately due to… life.” I’m so occupied with this life change that I haven’t taken a moment to unwind.

We both listen to the grinding of the coffee machine, and it’s quiet until I join them. I’m quick to notice that she is lost in thought as she watches me take a sip from my mug.

“My son is a family man. His father’s influence. Hayes takes pride in that. He’s a provider, too. The first thing he did when the money started rolling in for him was rebuild the kitchen at my house because I’ve wanted that forever. Don’t ever be resistant to his commitment to provide.”

“When it comes to Lola, I would never.”

“Lola is lucky, you are lucky. Hold on because you won’t ever want to let it go.”

Huh, we’re starting deep for the day.

“He truly is wonderful with Lola. I’m not blind to that.”

“And with you.” Her stoic expression reflects her seriousness. I sense it enough, her undertone warning that I’m not going to hurt her son.

“My eyes are wide open, Colleen.”

“Hmm, good.Some might say he is a little traditional, but he has ten years on you, has no reason to wait if he feels he has the missing puzzle piece.”

I bite the inside of my cheek because I want to smile, and I’m not sure it’s because she’s coming on strong.

Our eyes hold as we accept the magnitude of the situation. I’m relieved when Hayes enters the room to break the mood.

Now freshly showered and dressed, he claps his hands once. “Okay, ladies, ready for the day? The caterer will be delivering things at any moment.”

She gives Hayes a stern look. “I’m not sure this is right. I could have had a turkey in the oven by now and Irish soda bread freshly baked.”

He shrugs it off. “It’s easier this way. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

“I’ll remind you of this error of judgment for eternity.” She only half jokes and returns to checking on Lola’s plate. “I thought I would take Lola to the playground. You can have some alone time with Elodie’s parents.”
