“That doesn’t sound promising.” She scoots off my lap and sits next to me. “I can’t handle being so close to you when you say things like that.”
“Understandable.” I take a drink of water. Clear my throat. Wipe my hands on my thighs.
“Does this have something to do with being there for the delivery? Because I took a dump on the floor at some point and didn’t even realize it?”
I chuckle. “No. Strangely, that didn’t flip me out.”
“Then what did?”
“It was coming, balls deep inside of you, when your water broke and hearing you scream out in pain.” I grab my junk and shudder. “Even now, my sack wants to crawl up inside my body.”
“Ugh, that makes so much sense. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that could traumatize you.”
“How could you? We were just trying to get Marley out, and I thought sex sounded like an awesome way to do that. Just wasn’t prepared for everything to work the way it did. And then Marley’s always in bed with us when you’re breastfeeding. It feels wrong to slide into bed naked with you when she’s there.”
“I didn’t even think about that.”
“Plus…” I wince. “I hate getting boners when you’re breastfeeding. It’s just… your tits are so great, and I basically wanna die smothered between them.”
She busts out laughing, and I pull her into my lap again, relieved she doesn’t hate me. I grab her beautiful face and kiss her.
After a minute, her eyes flutter open. “What about the kisses? Why did you stop kissing me?”
“’Cause I’m a moron.” I kiss her again, and the taste of her lips makes me groan. “I guess that other stuff just took its toll on me. Maybe I was subconsciously trying to put some distance there because I didn’t know how to deal with everything.”
I’m trying to think of all the issues we fought about because I want to get it out now. Then it comes to me. Vicky.
“So, um. I also want to address your concern about Vicky…”
Roxy lifts her eyebrows but doesn’t say anything, so I continue.
“Yes, she’s still interested in me, but aside from our group going to get a bite to eat, I haven’t sat next to her, not even in class. I’ve told her, in no uncertain terms, that I have a girlfriend, and I make a point to sit somewhere else so I don’t encourage her.” I hand her my phone. “Check my phone if you want.”
She shakes her head. “I believe you.”
My whole chest puffs up like a damn rooster. “Really?”
“Yeah. And if we’re going to make this work, I think I need to trust you more.” She bites her bottom lip. “I’m sorry for accusing you of doing a gangbang with Jinxy and Vicky.”
I laugh and kiss her again. “There’s only one woman I wanna bang these days, and she’s this cute little cheerleader I’ve had my eye on for ages.”
Her arms wrap around my neck, and she straddles me. Fuck yes, please let this lead to naked things. My cock is a sundial pointing to high noon, ready to bust through my zipper.
Huh. I guess talking about everything really does work because I have zero reservations about fucking Roxy until she screams my name.
Hold up, asshole. She just had a baby two months ago. She might not be ready for that.
I try to keep a lid on my expectations. The bottom line is while I would love to have sex with her, I’m just so fucking thrilled we’re over all our baggage. I want to love up on my woman whether she has clothes on or not.
She takes my face in her hands and licks my bottom lip. “Billy.”
“Hmm?” I’m drunk off her presence and high off the feel of her in my arms. I crack open my eyes.
“I probably can’t handle all of you right now. Your dick’s too big.”
“Baby, that’s probably the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.”
She laughs and threads her fingers through my hair. “I love you, you crazy man.”
