I suck him further into my mouth, relaxing so that he can hit the back of my throat immediately.
He groans, and yes, that’s exactly the sound I heard.
I work him with my mouth and my hand, making sure every inch of his cock and balls get attention.
It’s sloppy, wet, hot, and so fucking good.
When he tries to pull back, with an, “I’m gonna come, Gem,” I reach around and grasp his ass, keeping him right where he is.
He doesn’t fight me. He knows that I know what I want.
He pumps into my mouth, then comes with a growl that makes my pussy clench with need.
I pull back and look up at him, opening my mouth to ask if it was as good as his imagination, but he’s already pulling me to my feet, lifting me, and stepping out of the shower. He sets me back on the counter where I was. We’re both dripping all overthe floor and the counter, but he doesn’t care. He kneels in front of me, spreads my legs, and leans in, licking me with a long firm lick, then gives my clit a hard suck.
He eats at me as if he’s starving, and I can’t do anything but hold onto the edge of the counter and his hair.
It only takes a few minutes for him to send me careening over the cliff of a hard, hot orgasm.
I cry his name loudly, and then he kisses his way up my body, finally taking my mouth in a hot, yet so sweet kiss.
When he pulls back, both of us still breathing a little hard, he smiles down at me. “Good morning.”
I laugh. “Good morning.”
“I was thinking, everyone at Dick’s is doing fine. I don’t think they need us for a little bit. What do you say to going to breakfast at the coffee shop downtown?”
I’m surprised, but I instantly catch on. “You want to go to the coffee shop where Charles, Will, Ben, and Dan refuse to go?”
“Yep.”
I shrug. He’s curious. I get it. It’s probably best to experience what I’ve described to him. “Okay.”
“You up for it?”
Seeing our father and his followers around town has always been hard on Scarlett. She has more direct experience and memories with them. For me, they’re just people. Well, seeing our father always infuriates me, because I can’t help but think of how he treated Scarlett and our mother, of course. But I nod. “Yes, but their coffee and cinnamon rolls have nothing on Dick’s.”
“I have a feeling I’ll have the same opinion about the servers and the general clientele.”
And how am I supposed to not be crazy about him when he’s already fallen for my bunch of loveable oddballs at Big Dick’s?

Downtown Emerald is charming. It looks like the quintessential small midwestern town.
But I agree with Cian that they completely missed the chance to really lean into the “Emerald City” theme complete with a main street of yellow bricks.
However, the Emerald City inThe Wonderful Wizard of Ozisn’t really green. Everyone is simply told to wear green-tinted glasses. It turns out, in reality, the city is no greener than any other city. It’s all an illusion. Everyone is deceived by their ‘wonderful wizard’. And I think I know exactly who is tricking who into what here in Emerald, Ohio.
As we drive toward the coffee shop, which is situated directly in the middle of Main Street, Ruby looks over at me.
“Why are you interested in the coffee shop? Really?” Ruby asks as we drive.
“Need to be sure my products and prices at Dick’s are comparable.”
“Uh huh. They’re not. Your products are superior and far cheaper.”
