We settled for a steamy make-out session with someheavy petting while we got cleaned up. I washed every square inch of his body, taking immense glee in the way his breath caught as I skimmed my hands across his cock and his glorious piercing.
I’d obviously never been with a man who had a cock piercing before, but the way it had coasted over the sensitive inner walls of my pussy had me seeing stars.
After thoroughly edging each other for the fifteen minute shower, we managed a down and dirty round two quickie before I headed out to the Cortez house to get Charlie.
Being with Max was exhilarating. The passion between us was an all-consuming fire, leaving us breathless and wanting more. I don’t think either of us was ever going to be fully sated.
Heat flushed my cheeks as I replayed our afternoon. Cranking the AC to full blast while pulling down the driveway of Ray’s dad’s house, the cool air was a welcome relief against the memories causing fire to erupt along my skin.
After sufficiently cooling my face, and satisfied that I wasn’t sporting a post-sex glow, I walked up the front porch steps and into the house’s foyer. As many times as I’d been here, I had earned enough chastisement from Emmanuel that I knew he wanted me to treat his house like a second home and not knock every time I came over.
Walking into the living room of the modest one-story home, I found my daughter giggling on the floor as Ray tickled her feet.
Over the course of the last couple months, they’d become exceptionally close. Ray treated her with the same care and love that I would expect from a sister or an aunt. She made Charlie feel like family, and that warmed my heart.
Wade was seated on the floor, his back against the couch, a huge smile playing upon his lips as he watched Ray and Charlie play.
We had carved out a little slice of home here in Firefly Cove, and I was feeling more and more settled by the thought of staying.
Finally noticing me, Charlie squealed with delight, her chubby legs pumping furiously as she toddled towards me, Ray and Wade a distant memory as a giggle escaped her lips.
“Mama!” she shouted and raised her arms for me to pick her up.
I’d carry my girl as long as I could. There would come a time when I would pick her up for the last time and the thought of her growing up filled me with dread. I looked at my life, at my current family and my capacity for more, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted any more children, unless it was with the right person.
Unexpectedly, a sense of giddiness came over me. I found myself drawn to thoughts of Max holding a tiny baby in his arms. He had already proven that he was an excellent partner. He made an excellent addition to the duo that Charlie and I had forged over the last year. I shook away the thoughts. It was too early in our budding relationship to think about things like kids and a permanent future together.
“You okay, girl? You’re looking a little flushed.” Ray narrowed her eyes in scrutiny and ticked her head to the side. It didn’t take longer than a second for a knowing smirk to find its way to her face. She squealed almost as loud as Charlie had and stood in front of me, hopping.
“SPILL!” she screamed with a giddiness I’d only seen from her upon finding the perfect thrifted dresser in an online auction for less than a hundred dollars.
“And with that, I’m out.” Wade said, pushing to stand and giving us a mock salute. He walked over to Charlie, popped a wet kiss on her cheek, gave me a side hug, and headed for the door.
“See ya later, Waddle!” Ray called loudly as Wade opened the front door.
“I told you, Sunshine, stop calling me that.” He grumped as he unceremoniously left.
“Okay, now that he’s gone, SPILL.”
I covered Charlie’s ears in makeshift earmuffs as I found the words to explain what had transpired between Max and me in the last couple of hours.
“Long story short… I think Max and I are…together?” I said with a slight hesitancy.
“Think? Did you not talk about it?” she asked in confusion.
“Umm… It’s a little hard to talk when you either have his tongue or cock in your mouth.” I joked.
Her laughter, a joyous sound that seemed to fill the entire room, startled me, and her hand, firm on my arm, steered me toward the kitchen.
“I’m going to need to know details, but first, we have more pressing matters.” She grabbed a small notebook off the counter and brought it over to the table where she’d deposited me.
I plopped Charlie on my lap and waited on bated breath as Ray flipped to the page she was looking for. After everything I had been through the last ten years, surprises were pretty high on the list of things I despised most.
Ray flipped to one of the inner pages, and my anxiety ebbed. Written at the top of the page was ‘Charlie’s Fairy First Birthday’. The sudden heat of unshed tears burned behind myeyes, blurring my vision. With everything going on, I had somehow forgotten that Charlie and the twins’ birthdays were coming up.
“I hope I didn’t overstep…” Ray mumbled, obviously sensing a change in my demeanor.
I rarely saw Rayna Cortez demure, but the thought of her taking the time to plan a birthday party for my daughter brought such a lightness to my heart.
