Warm hands on her bare ass had her about to turn when he lifted her up a little, preventing her from moving. Anticipation ran wild through her body. Not being able to see him had her vibrating with hunger. She ached to feel him touching her.
A brush of his tongue against her folds made her head drop to rest on his thigh. Pleasure rolled through her in waves as he slowly lapped at her, taking his time to please her. She was barely able to massage his knee as he continued his soft sensual assault on her labia.
It wasn’t until he dove in by pushing his tongue through her folds and into her small hole that she gave up any pretense of trying to continue what she’d been doing. He stole her breath with every movement. Every swipe of his tongue was coveted. He was worshipping her in the most primal of actions.
His moaning and grunting at her flavor left her breathless. The flexing of his hands on her hips made her feel loved. She felt so much from this one intimate act. For them, it was so much than oral sex. It was the epitome of their love for each other.
Her climax came on faster than she wanted, and she felt herself climbing higher and higher before she finally soared into the skies and flew into a mind-numbing pleasure. Her body began the slow descent back to reality as she tried to clear her vision of the twinkling stars behind her lids.
“Fucking delicious,” she heard Casey mumble through what felt like a tunnel. Her body went into relax and crash mode, and it wasn’t long before she felt herself drifting into slumber.
Ev being in his life was unlike anything he’d ever done, felt, or had before. She made him feel alive. She made him want to have more than he ever thought possible. She made him want to be better. Fuck, she just made him.
The way she took care of him, not shying away from the sight of his half leg was more than he could have ever asked for. He didn’t know what he’d done to deserve her in another life, but he was hella glad she was his.
When they met, they were both so broken, and she’d put up far more of a fight than he had. Case had always been headstrong, though, and knew what he wanted and went for it. No questions asked. Watching her come apart from his mouth gave him a high better than any drug. She’d fallen asleep before her body had stopped vibrating with pleasure.
He had plans to let her sleep as much as possible the following morning so he could monopolize her time for the rest of the day. There was a fair in Annapolis he wanted to take her and Andy to before they went to the hospital to check on her sister.
He had a bad feeling about Lacey. Not being conscious yet wasn’t a positive sign for her. While it might prove to be easier on her body as the drugs left her system and save Ev the heartbreak of everything Helen, the social worker, had warned them about, he feared she might not wake up period and knew that would devastate Ev and Andy.
Laying back with Ev in his arms and a light rain beating down on the roof, Casey knew he would do anything to shield and protect them from pain.
The warmth of sunlight woke Ev from one of the deepest sleeps she’d ever had. The room was aglow with daylight, the window was open to let in the crisp fall breeze, and the smell of coffee and cinnamon wafted throughout the house.
Recognizing that it was later in the morning than she normally woke up, she slipped on a pair of shorts before going to find her boys.
Cartoons quietly played from the TV in the living room, and the clatter of dishes being washed was coming from the kitchen. “Mmm,” she moaned softly, seeing fresh cinnamon rolls on the counter and steaming coffee in a carafe on a hot plate next to it. “That smells divine.”
“Morning, Kitten,” Case smiled, walking to her and kissing her on the lips. It was slow, heartfelt. Something she could get used to every morning.
“I could get used to mornings like this,” she whispered against his lips.
“Good,” he murmured back. “There’s a fair in Annapolis. I thought you and Andy might like to go before we see your sister.”
Just the mention of Lacey’s name had her stomach in knots. Pushing her palm into her belly didn’t help the queasy sensation. “I think I have the flu or something,” she commented, narrowing her eyes when Casey fought back a smile. “What?” she snipped.
“Nothing, Kitten, absolutely nothing.” He was still fighting back a smile.
“Whatever.” Sitting down at the table, she poured herself coffee and grabbed a cinnamon roll. “You better not be hiding something from me, mister, or there will be hell to pay.” She didn’t know what kind of hell, but there would be.
Eating breakfast, or brunch rather, followed by more vomiting wasn’t how Ev envisioned her morning going. She would push through it as usual. She had to. With a little boy needing her and a sister playing Sleeping Beauty, she had to get past whatever was wrong with her.
They were just arriving at the fairgrounds when Andy fell asleep. She hated to wake him because his nightmares had been brutal. The night before was the first time he’d slept all the way through. Ev knew that he would be sad to miss the rides, though, so she knew she had to get him up.
Jumping out of Case’s truck, she climbed back up the monster to wake him. “Andy, sweetheart, we’re here.”
He shook his head from side to side a couple times, not wanting to become lucid. As soon as his eyes began to open, she could see the excitement in them. “Der’s wides, wight?” he inquired while she unbuckled him from the four-point harness.
“Casey says there’s five!” She held up her fingers for him to see.
“Yay!” His happy cheer could be heard throughout the fair she was sure.
Hands on her hips had her airborne before she could pull Andy out of the truck. “Casey!” she squealed.
“I’ll get him.” He sounded like he was scolding her.
Backing away, she heard them whispering to each about fickle women thinking they needed to do it all. “Remember when you’re older, Andy, always do things for the woman when you can. Like lifting small people out of cars, opening doors, and pulling out chairs. Chivalry is not dead.”
