“You might. I’m closer to my expiry date and I don’t want it to be from blue balls.”
I hip-bumped him and headed for the living room.
Griffin followed me, murmuring, “Your ass looks edible in those slacks.”
“Thank you.” I sat on the couch, picked up the remote, and clicked on the TV. Something random appeared, travel maybe. I didn’t much care. Griffin sat behind me in the corner of the couch and I reclined onto his chest.
The damned cat, as was her routine, jumped onto my knees, turned a circle, and settled down, purring. I patted her in spite of myself. “If you didn’t knock so much over and bite Daddy’s toes in the middle of the night, you wouldn’t have to stay in your playroom,” I told her. She closed her eyes and rumbled softly.
Despite the low ache of need in my groin, I let my eyelids droop and tucked my head back on Griffin’s shoulder as I petted Cinder.
“This is nice,” Griffin murmured. “Although I still want to be fucked once she’s ready for bed.”
“It is nice.” I took his arm and pulled it across my chest, a loving barrier against the world. For once, I wasn’t worried about anything or puzzling out anything other than how long it would take Cinder to settle into her evening doze and be ready for bed.
“You know, I almost sang my vows today.” Griffin’s chest vibrated behind me as he laughed. “Not sure why I thought that would be a good plan.”
“Does seem a little over the top.”
“I’d been writing that album material for Amy Lenardo and I think I was stuck in composing mode. My lyrics were a lot flowerier and more eloquent than what I did say.”
“I liked what you said.” I squirmed back farther, feeling the bulge of Griffin’s dick behind my ass, half-hard but not insistent. I’d work on that later. “Did you actually come up with something?”
“Oh yeah, a whole song.” He chuckled.
“I want to hear it.”
“It’s embarrassing now.”
“Gimme, gimme.”
“Only for you.” He hummed a note, then began singing softly in my ear. The words flowed honey-sweet. Yeah, a bit much for the wedding but here, with our cat on my lap and Griffin’s arms around me, the melodic lilt ofdestinyandforeverandtogetherturned the moment to gold. This was my Griffin, my bard andmy lover, and I got to keep him for all the years to come. Life didn’t get better than this.
