Page 47 of Friends with Benefits
“I’m not going anywhere,” she said.
I should have known she’d give as good as she got. She took me deeply again, and I barely had enough time to warn her with a tap on her ass before I was coming down the back of her throat. I moaned against her pussy, inhaling her scent as the orgasm washed over my nerve endings.
She moved to get up once I stopped, but I kept my arms wrapped around her hips and gave her a second orgasm with my mouth, thinking she was the best breakfast I’d ever had.
When we were done, and I’d gotten a cloth to clean us both up, she curled next to my side, and I was so relaxed I drifted in and out of sleep. I liked having her next to me, soft and warm from sleep and sex.
A guy could get used to it.
A door slammed in the hallway, and we both jumped a little. “Guess that’s our alarm,” she said sleepily.
“We should probably get up,” I answered, but neither of us moved.
“In a minute.” She yawned, then stretched. “I haven’t felt this good in such a long time. I’m glad you stayed.”
“Me, too, but I better get my ass to practice, or it’ll belong to Coach.”
“When can I see you again?” she asked. “I have to work tomorrow, but maybe the day after? You could come after the twins fall asleep.”
I punctuated my promise with a kiss. “Looking forward to it.”
She went out first, herding the twins back to their room to get dressed, while I snuck out the front door to go back to my apartment.
I was already thinking about when I’d get to see her again.
Chapter Nineteen
Ember
It was April.
If there was ever an end date for my relationship with Tripp, it was the end of the school year, when he’d go off to play professional ball, and we’d have to go back to being friends. I didn’t want to think about it, but there was no denying the date on the calendar.
“One more month!” the twins screamed while running around in circles. “One more month!”
I winced and stared at the coffee maker, hoping it would sputter out it’s steaming brew more quickly.
“What’s all the yelling about?” Tripp asked, coming down the hallway in a pair of low-slung basketball shorts and a tank-top still wrinkled from where I’d thrown it on the floor the night before.
“ONE MORE MONTH!”
“Let me guess. One more month until they go deaf from all the screaming?” he asked as he pulled coffee cups down from the cabinet for the both of us. He was always doing thoughtful things like that. Making me a bath after a long shift at work. Doing the girl’s bedtime routine with them without them having to beg. Cooking for all of us, even after day-long practices.
And that didn’t include everything he did for me in bed.
I’d never in my life been with anyone so flat-out generous in all ways. He was mine for a short while longer, and I was going to keep him satisfied while I had him.
“Until they’re done with school. They’re excited to stay with your mom during the summer while I’m at work. I heard a rumor she was getting passes to the public pool for the three of them.”
The twins changed their shouted chorus to, “Pool! Pool! Pool!” as they laughed and screeched around the dining room table.
It didn’t even phase Tripp, who was pouring us both a cup of coffee, adding more sugar than should be humanly possible to consume to mine and drinking his with a touch of vanilla creamer. He passed my cup to me and leaned forward to give me a kiss. I let him because the girls had long since caught us making out from time-to-time. They liked to tease us and pretend to be grossed out, but I knew they liked Tripp almost as much as I did. Probably more than they liked me, if I was being honest.
“I’ll tell you who is really excited. My dad. He can’t stop talking my ear off about how much free time he has to do all the projects he loves now that mom isn’t occupying every spare minute with her honey-do list. I swear, if he weren’t head-over-heels for her, he’d kiss you for it.”
I made eyes at him over the rim of my steaming coffee cup. “You’re kidding.”
“Well, maybe about the kissing part. But he might build you a really nice spice rack or something as a thanks. I think he really loves it when the girls come over, though. They love it when he does his magic tricks for them.”
