Seconds later he cried out too and I felt his thick shaft pulsing as he released his seed while deep inside me. It seemed to go on and on and I milked him with my quaking walls, hoping to spend every last drop.
He fell back pulling me against him where I nestled in the crook of his arm. He brought his hand around to stroke my hair and planted a kiss upon my forehead.
“That was worth waiting for.” His tone was low and he wiped his brow and left me for a moment before returning to lay beside me, gazing into my eyes.
“I agree. It was worth it.” I reached out and stroked his beard.
“So do you have an answer for me yet?” He placed his hand on mine as if he wasn’t letting me get away from the answer.
“I could use the financial help.” I hated to make it all about money, but since he’d made that a condition and not me, I was only being honest.
“Absolutely and I want to help you too. This isn’t all about me and Tani.” He seemed genuine and had been a good friend, and a DAMN good lover.
“When would we do it?” I didn’t exactly have a calendar but I knew I had a busy schedule.
“Two weeks? Sooner if you like.”
“Two weeks is good. Would I have to move in?” I couldn’t imagine it being any other way.
“Yeah, that would be best. I mean, we do have to make it seem convincing to everyone. We’re the only ones who would know the truth.”
“What about Tani?”
“She’s a child. She could say something to someone at school or worse, she could tell her mother. I hate to lie to her, but if it’s for her own good. Besides, I might just be a cocky son of a bitch, but I feel pretty good about us at this moment. Who knows, it might turn into more.”
“If it doesn’t?” My words caused his face to fall and then he shrugged.
“Then it’s no different, we part as friends, both in a better place than we started.” His hand caressed my back and I knew I could get used to being in his bed every night.
“And what about sex?” I slid my gaze up to meet his.
“When and if you want.”
“And if I want it a lot?” I rose up on my elbow and met him with a grin.
“Even better.” He laughed and then pulled me close. “Well?”
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes still not entirely sure what I was doing but knowing I had to take a leap of faith. “I’m in.” His mouth crushed against mine and I slipped my hand down to find my fake groom-to-be ready for round two.
CHAPTER TEN - HUNTER
I got to the shop bright and early hoping to get a jump start on my day. I’d tossed and turned all night in my bed, but not for any bad reason, as a matter of fact I was happier than I’d been since Nancy decided to pull her shit on me and Tani. Not having Tani home before school made me miss her even more, but since I’d spent such a long night with Sarah, I decided to leave her sleeping at my Mother’s house.
Round two had been even hotter than round one and Sarah edged her pleasure so long I didn’t think I was going to be able to hold off as long as she did. I’d surprised myself, and it was so worth the wait.
I dropped my wrench on the floor as Monk came in. “Oh man, the shop’s not even open and you’re already dropping tools? I hope this isn’t a sign of how bad things went with Sarah last night.” I’d told him about my plans and how I was going to drop the idea over dinner.
“Last night went better than I thought.” I wagged my brows.
“You hound dog. So you made her dinner and had cream pie for dessert, but how’d she like the idea? Do I need to start planning your bachelor party?” He stepped around to the break area and poured himself a cup of coffee raising his voice so I could hear him. “I’ve always wanted to be a best man.”
“You’re always my best man, Monk, but we’re not doing all the formal stuff. I figure we’ll ride down to the Justice of the Peace and have a simple wedding.” We’d have to get our license and make sure that was filed before the month was over.
“Well, can I at least throw you that bachelor party? We haven’t gone out in a while, man. I could line something up.” Since Tani was born, things had changed so much and Monk was one of my only friends
who’d cleaned up his act with me and stuck by my side.
“Sure, but it’s not like it’s my last night of freedom, I’m going to be able to do stuff as always.” The fact that Tani came first was a given, but I didn’t want him thinking that Sarah would have any say on what I did or didn’t do. I thought it might not be so bad if she did though. I thought of how close we’d been, and I suddenly missed her presence, and an empty feeling came over me.
