“So,” I say, tracing circles onto his impressive chest. “Not that I’m complaining, because two orgasms is nothing to complain about, but what was that all about?”

His chest shakes with a silent laugh. “I told you, you’re mine now and I couldn’t wait another second to claim you.”

“And a little bird told you I’d be home?” I ask, propping myself up on my elbow, giving him a look.

“Mmmhmm.”

“This little bird wouldn’t happen to have a name that starts with a ‘K’ would it?”

“I can’t reveal my sources.”

“Right, of course not.”

“Actually, besides bringing you coffee and claiming you, I did have something I wanted to ask you,” Kessler says, rolling to his side and propping his head up on his elbow.

“And what might that be?” I ask, using my free hand I reach up and use my finger to lightly trace the scar on his left shoulder.

“I want to take you and Hudson to my brother’s game tonight.” My finger freezes mid stroke on his scar. “I rarely get to see him play unless we’re the ones playing against him. I thought it’d be a fun first official outing for all of us.” Kessler stares at me hopeful.

“I uh, I can’t. I already made plans with the girls.” Thank god I already made plans with the girls.

“Oh,” he says, disappointment in his voice.

“I’m sorry, maybe next time?” I say.

“Yeah, of course. Where’s Hudson going to be during your girl’s night?”

“Kara’s. Her mom lives with her, so they’ll be supervised.”

“Do you think I could still take Hudson? Kade can come too. We can have a guy’s night.” He looks at me with that hopeful look, yet again.

A warm feeling spreads over my chest. I lean forward and give him a kiss. “I think that would be perfect. Let me check with Kara, I don’t think she’ll care, but I’ll ask.” I look at the clock on my nightstand and groan. “I hate to fuck and run, but I do have to get some work done today.”

“Lucy,” Kessler says, eyes darkening. “That mouth. If we had more time, I’d put it to work.”

I clench my thighs together, turned on by the suggestion.

WTF! I just had TWO orgasms, I can’t seriously want more.

We both get out of bed and find our clothes that we carelessly tossed around in the moment. Once dressed, I stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Kessler finishes pulling his shirt over his head, much to my disappointment, and looks over at me. He walks over to me and takes me in his arms. Tipping my chin up, he gazes into my eyes. “Hey, don’t over think this ok? You’re my girlfriend, I’m your boyfriend. Nothing else.”

I nod, knowing it’s easier said than done.

“Come on, walk me out.” He links our hands together and we walk to my front door. “I’ll pick Hudson and Kade up at four.”

I nod. “I’ll text Kara as soon as you leave to run it by her.”

He leans down and gives me a slow kiss. “Bye,” he whispers after pulling back slightly, leaving a couple inches between our lips.

“Have a good day,” I whisper back.

He closes what little gap is between us and gives me another kiss. I giggle and push him back, breaking the kiss. “You better go before we end up naked in the doorway.”

He wiggles his eyebrows at me and I give his shoulder a light shove. Kessler leans in, giving me one last quick kiss before turning and jogging to his truck. I lean my head on the door frame and watch him drive away.

I blow out a breath and close the door. Boy, do I have a lot to tell the girls tonight.
