A release.

A gush of wetness.

But it made me panic.

That had never happened before.

“I’m so sorry,” I said, thinking I’d done something wrong.

“Why the fuck are you apologising?” he moaned, his fingers still deep inside me as he moved his hips against me, stroking me till my orgasm faded.

“I felt... something.” I wanted to say I thought I’d had an accident, but I couldn’t get the words out.

Tyler lifted his head slightly to peer down at me, and I felt a little flustered as he stared at me in confusion.

“Is that the first time you’ve squirted?”

I frowned. “What?”

“You squirted, Jess. That was your orgasm.” He moved to whisper in my ear. “And it was the sexiest fucking thing I’ve ever felt.”

“I squirted?”

He chuckled. “So I’m guessing that’s a no. You haven’t done that before.”

“I thought it was something else.”

“It was something else, and next time, I want to do more than feel it. I want to see it.”

He pulled his fingers slowly out of my swollen, sensitive pussy and lifted his hand up. It was glistening with my release, and he put his fingers in his mouth, closing his eyes as he sucked them, moaning at the taste of me.

“Fucking delicious,” he growled as he licked them clean. Then he lowered his forehead to mine. “Don’t ever be embarrassed with me. What you did was totally normal. Fucking sexy. And I can’t wait to make you do that again.”

I was about to tell him that I couldn’t wait to do it again, with his head between my legs, when I heard an almightyscream from upstairs.

“Mummy! Mummy!”

“Fuck!” I squeezed my eyes shut. “The joys of parenthood.” Then I opened my eyes and said, “I’m so sorry,” as Tyler lifted himself off me.

I sat up, adjusting my clothes, then moved to stand.

“I have to go and check on her.”

“Of course you do.” Tyler smiled. “Don’t apologise. It’s fine.”

I nodded and headed to the stairs, running up them to get to Ava’s room.

When I got there, she was sweating and panting as she lay tangled up in her duvet.

“I had a bad dream, Mummy,” she cried. “The bad men were coming to take us away.”

I went to her, sitting on her bed, stroking her hair to calm her down.

“They aren’t coming. You know that, don’t you? You’re safe here, with me and Tyler.”

Her sleepy eyes suddenly grew wide, sparkling at the sound of his name.

“Is Tyler still here?”
