I screwed things up with Tessa in ways I’ll never be able to make right. I missed too much because I thought I didn’t deserve it when all along it wasn’t about me at all.
But now…
Things with Tessa and me have shifted. Not all at once, but piece by piece, we’ve rebuilt our relationship into something new. Something amazing.
And watching her become a mother has been such an amazing gift as well.
There have been so many gifts with this second chance at life. The best life.
The door creaks open, revealing the woman who gave me that second chance.
Lilly.
My face splits into an automatic smile the way it always does when I see her. After ten years and five babies, she’s more gorgeous than the day she burst into my life, and I still want her with a ferocity that has never dulled.
“Busy?” she asks, leaning against the doorframe with that look in her eyes that tells me she already knows the answer.
“For you, sweetheart?” I roll my chair back and hold my arms out. “Never.”
She slides onto my lap like she belongs there—because she does—and kisses me.
“Baby’s down for a nap,” she murmurs against my mouth. “The others are at Tessa’s for a few hours.”
My hands settle at her waist, tightening slightly as I pull her closer. “Sounds like we’ve got time then.”
Her breath catches, her fingers curling into my shirt as she leans into me. “Funny,” she says as I start trailing kisses down her neck. “I remember when this office used to be off limits.”
A low chuckle rumbles out of me as I remember exactly how we broke that particular rule. And thank goodness we did.
These days, the office is one of the only places we can steal a few minutes of alone time.
“Yeah,” I murmur, standing and taking her with me. “Pretty sure that went out the window a long time ago.”
I set her on the desk. She quickly slips her top over her head and leans back, showcasing her perfect tits for me. My cock throbs in response. My need for her insatiable.
Ten years. Five kids.
And somehow, it’s still like this.
Exactly the way it should be.
“So…” her eyes flash with mischief, and Iknow exactly what game she’s ready to play. “How can Iassistmy boss today?”
