“What?”
“You’re so gorgeous.”
“Mm. I like it when you speak Spanish.”
She pumped her hips up, and I lowered my head to take one of her breasts into my mouth.
“Ahhh! Harluuumm.” She moaned my name in the sweetest ecstasy.
“You have me wanting things that I didn’t know I was capable of wanting, dulzura.” I stroked in a tight circle and whispered, “Your heart is beautiful and so is your spirit.”
I leaned down and kissed her and then jabbed inside of her hard and tight until she cried out.
“Thank you for sharing your body with me, dulzura. Thank you for trusting me with your heart. I promise that I will never let you down.”
I swiveled my hips, slowly stroking her soft walls and loving how tight and warm they were, a cocoon for me to nestle into.
“You make me feel worthy of being loved, sweetheart,” I murmured and pumped fast and deep. “You’re so compassionate, . . . creative, . . . intelligent, . . . and sooo . . . fucking beautiful.” My voice was a deep growl as I punctuated every word with short, hard thrusts.
Baby rocked her head from side to side, crying out in pleasure, propelling her hips upward and begging. “More. More. Always more.”
I gave her exactly what she asked for. We went back and forth that way for a while, until she released again, this time with a face full of tears. Her body was wracked with sobs as she shook while she came.
The emotions, the softness of her heart, and the warmth and silkiness of her pussy pulled me to the brink and wouldn’t let go until I came too. When I did, it was with the knowledge that I would never let go. I wanted her completely in every way that I could have her in time, because she owned me, and there was no denying that.
When I pulled out of her, she worked hard to control her ragged breathing. I lifted her from the bed and carried her to the bathroom. I set her in the tub as I turned on the water, poured oils into the tub, and then I climbed in behind her.
I held her against my body for a long time before I finally washed her, soothed her, and affirmed her again.
“I will always protect your heart, your mind, and your body, dulzura. Te amo,” I whispered.
She was deep asleep, even as I washed her body, but I knew that she felt my love, even if she never heard my spoken words.

NETFLIX & CHILL
Ihad spent the majority of the day at one of my rental properties, overseeing the renovations. Most of the homes that I purchased, I flipped and sold them, but I maintained four for rental income. The property was being renovated because the previous tenant had dogs, although their lease strictly prohibited pets of any kind.
When I learned about the pets, I confronted him, letting him know that he was in violation of his lease. I gave him an ultimatum: He had a week to relocate the dogs, or he had to move. Not only had he kept the dogs, but he didn’t move out either. I went to the courts to initiate the eviction process. During that time, he didn’t pay any rent, and the case dragged on for a couple of months before the sheriff’s office came to evict him.
The neighbors told me that he had left the night before the sheriff’s office arrived, but he had done major damage while he was there. Besides allowing the dogs to use the restroom in the home and not clean it, they had torn the carpet in the bedrooms,their nails had scratched the surfaces of the laminate flooring, and he had stopped up the sinks and the bathtubs, turned the water on in all the bathrooms and the kitchen, and then left them running.
The water damage over the next fourteen hours was major, hence the renovations. I was just getting back to the shop, and I was tired. It had been a long day. The only thing that I wanted to do was go home and spend time with Baby.
Despite the stress of my day, just the thought of her had me singing as I breezed through the shop doors as if all was right in the world.
I was whistling and singing Al Green’s “Love and Happiness.”
“Where have you been?” Mia asked, scrunching her nose.
“Chasing after his woman,” Josiah stated.
“Chasing some woman, but I’m not sure if it’s his, since she’s been over there all day,” Raque remarked, bobbing her head toward Baby’s shop.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but I’ve been checking on properties,” I replied.
