“It was at times. Abi is also an only child, and we became friends in kindergarten. We were basically inseparable after that—constantly spending the night at each other’s places. She was the sister I never had.”
They both turned to their food and began eating in comfortable silence. This date was precisely what Chase needed.

Chase opened his eyes to find Kailynn tucked up against his chest, still sound asleep. Their date the night before wound up with them in bed together. And he didn’t regret it for a single second. They spent time exploring each other’s bodies and making love.
In the few short months he had gotten to know her, he knew she was the one for him. He loved her. He wanted her with him every second of every hour of every day, and even then, it wouldn’t be enough.
He missed her when she wasn’t with him, even if she was only next door in her own apartment. He missed her when he was at work. Even now, with her wrapped in his arms, he missed talking to her.
Chase pressed a kiss to her forehead, and she snuggled deeper into him in her sleep. He smiled and held her closer. He never wanted to let go.
Several minutes passed before she gave a small sigh. He looked down to find her watching him.
“Good morning,” he said, softly.
“Good morning.” She ducked her mouth under the covers as she spoke and he laughed.
“I don’t know if my breath is heinous right now,” she said in response.
“It’s not,” he said. “But even if it was, I’m subjecting you to mine, so you’re welcome to subject me to yours.”
“Well, if it’s even then.” She winked and uncovered her mouth.
“It’s even.”
His eyes roamed her face, and his hand cupped her cheek.
“You are so beautiful,” he whispered.
He dipped his head and captured her lips with his, kissing her lightly before trailing down to the hollow space in her neck. She moaned, her fingers sliding into his hair.
A hand came to her hip and massaged it. She was already naked beneath the sheets, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. He moved until he positioned himself on top of her, moving the comforter out of his way so he could see her entire body.
He continued his trail down to her collarbone and then her breasts. He cupped one in his hand, and his thumb swiped over her nipple. Her eyes were hooded as she watched him. The tender bud perked at his touch and made him want to taste it. He captured it between his lips and sucked it, swiping his tongue over it and nipping before he pulled back to gauge her reaction. Her lips were slightly parted and her fingers continued to massage his scalp, only with more pressure now.
The soft skin beneath his fingers was intoxicating. He moved to her other breast to give it as much attention as he had the first, and this time a moan passed between her lips. It only encouraged him to continue. He needed to show her how much he cared—how much he wanted her.
Using his tongue, he licked at her skin, leaving a trail down to her belly. He swirled around her belly button before continuing his path down to the area he wanted most. Her scent filled his nose and his arousal let him know just how badly he wanted her. How badly he wanted to taste her.
His eyes flickered up to hers and she looked to be holding her breath, waiting to see what he would do. While parting her folds with his fingers, he flicked his tongue out and licked at the little bundle of nerves he could so easily find. She sucked in a breath and dropped her legs open for him—the exact reaction he wanted.
“I think that means you want more,” he hummed against her.
She only moaned in response.
He dragged a hand along her thigh before pressing it between her legs and wetting himself. Finding her entrance, he pushed a finger into her. She clenched around him. His mouth descended on her, licking and sucking. He aligned a second finger with the first and pushed it into her. Her knuckles pressed into his scalp as she gripped his hair.
“Oh my God,” she whispered.
He curled his fingers deeper into her and she arched her back. Pulling back, he blew on her, sending goosebumps all over her body.
“Oh. Don’t stop,” she whimpered.
“I wouldn’t dare stop now.”
Their eyes met, and he continued to work his fingers in and out before dropping his head and sucking her clit. She moved beneath him and her breathing grew heavy. She was close. He sank his tongue into her, loving the taste and smell of her arousal as it moistened his lips, and pressed his thumb to her clit.
