“I’m… I’m…”

I strum harder against her pussy, knowing any second, she’ll be coming to life on my lap.

“I’m coming,” she says.

Nova bites down on her lower lip to stifle the moan.

“You come so prettily for me, angel.”

Nova stills as her body goes limp against my chest, before letting out a few huffs.

“I can’t believe we just did that.”

I look around the fire, and no one is directly watching us. I’m sure if anyone did notice, they took the fucking hint.

“Baby. It’s a whole new world. You can do whatever you want with me.”

“You’re turning everything upside down.”

“Is that a bad thing?”

“No. It’s the best thing.”

“Let’s go inside. I gotta meet with Eddie.”

Nova shakes her head and starts to get up. She turns back around, and as I get up, I can’t believe she just came from my hand.

“You look so proud,” she teases.

“You know I am.”

“Come on, you animal. You have a meeting to get to.”

I sigh.

“Back to reality, it is.”

“You’ll figure it out.”

We start to walk up to the house, hand in hand.

“I know, I just wanted to ease into being back. Having you here. It’s feet to the fire, as they say.”

“We’ll get this solved and then have a chance at happily ever after.” She beams as she elbows me playfully.

“Happily ever after. I can’t fucking wait for that.”

EIGHTEEN

Nova

The weightof the world is on Wolfe’s shoulders, and I wish that he would stop being worried about me with everything else he has going on. Part of me wants him to open up further, but I know this is not the time to wear my professional hat. Wolfe needs me to just be there for him, and that’s what I’ll do.

This role of girlfriend may be new to me, but I think I can handle showing my support. It’s what I’ve always longed for, and now I get to be needed by the man of my dreams.

Wolfe squeezes my hand as we step inside. The party is roaring to life with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

“You okay?” he asks.
