I blink at him. “Wow, okay.”

“How about you? How’s it going?”

“Well, it looks like Xander already opened his bigmouth, so now I have to calm everyone down. Hold please.”

Rather than send a text, I start the voice memo.

“Hi, family. Sounds like Xander can’t keep his gossiping mouth shut. Yes, I have news. I moved in with Blake today. Ava, don’t yell at me. It happened really fast. I’ll tell you about it later. Before you ask, yes, I’m fine. Better than fine. I’d say don’t worry, but I’d be wasting my breath. We’ll have you all over for dinner or something at some point. Don’t tell Greg, okay? We’re going over to talk to him tomorrow. I repeat, let me tell Greg myself. Hugs and kisses and all the mushy stuff. Bye.”

I set the phone on the coffee table, and I’m suddenly in Blake’s lap. He’s kissing down my neck, sending shivers down my body. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to being this close to him. If my body won’t come alive whenever he touches me.

“Welcome home, sugar.”

With a grin, I snuggle against him. It’s true, I really like Blake’s house.Ourhouse. But it’s right here, sitting in his strong arms that I truly feel like I’m at home.

BecauseBlakeis my home.

He nuzzles my ear, and his hand moves up between my thighs and under my dress. After we fucked in the kitchen earlier, I pulled on clean underwear, but when his fingertips ghost over my center, I know they’re already wet again.

“Wet already?” he whispers in my ear before biting my earlobe. “Why are you wet, baby?”

“Because you’re touching me.” I gasp when hisfinger pushes the panties aside and then slides between my lips, making me arch against him.

“Does that feel good?” He nips my ear, then drags his nose down my jawline, and an involuntary whimper escapes my lips. I can feel him grin against my skin. “Oh, it must feel good if you’re making those little sounds that make me hard as fuck.”

I can feel him, hard as steel, against my hip.

“Blake.” I spread my legs wider, wanting more of him, needing him to fill me and make me come apart.

“What do you need, baby?”

I swallow hard and tip my face back, needing to see him. Needing to feel the connection to him when he looks in my eyes. “You. I just need you.”

“Excellent fucking answer.” His mouth covers mine, and his tongue slips between my lips, devouring me whole as his hands play me like an instrument, making me feral for him. His fingers slide through my wetness, and then he pulls them away and paints my bottom lip with my own arousal.

When I lick it off, Blake’s eyes darken, and he moves us quickly, laying me on my back.

“I’m fucking obsessed with you,” he growls against my neck. “Every inch of you. Inside and out. I can’t fucking get enough of you.”

He pulls my underwear down my legs, his fingertips dragging along my skin setting fire to every nerve ending, and discards them. He pushes my legs up to my chest and buries his face in my core. A wave of pure energy moves through me, heating my skin and stealing my breath.

“Blake.”

“Say it again.”

“Blake.” My voice cracks that time because he sucks my clit between his lips and pulses, and I know I’m about to come.

I’m about toexplode.

When he pushes two fingers inside me, there’s no holding back. The orgasm rolls through me, and my hips lift as I cry out, pushing against him, and he growls, sending new sparks through me. He’s fuckingaddicting.

As I calm down, Blake licks and nibbles around my pussy, humming, and his hands roam over my stomach and thighs.

And then he’s moving over me, and he kisses me, and I can taste myself there. My hands lift to his face, and I feel more connected to this man at this moment than I ever have before, and I didn’t know that was possible.

“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” he whispers against my lips as he slides inside me, and we both moan with the pleasure of it. “So. Fucking. Tight.”

I clench around him, and the gold flecks in his eyes shine as he starts to move.
