“I don’t know. I mentioned to Odette that he’d been planning on becoming a police officer once he was out of the Marines, and she’s been looking into it for him. She’s got about two years left to serve in the Navy, and I’m not sure if—”
I spun around to stare at him, suddenly understanding what he was hinting at. “Wait, do you think there’s something going on between them?”
Remy lifted a shoulder, his body language screaming how uncomfortable he was with the topic. “Maybe?”
I turned back to see Toby curled up with his back resting against Wrecker as he pulled the petals off a daisy, and thought about my brother and Odette. I was sure they were just good friends, and Remy was seeing more than there was between them.
“Nothing to say?” Remy finally asked, snapping me out of my musings and confusing me, as did the amused expression on his face.
“About what?”
He was silent for a moment, but then his lips twitched, and he grinned down at me. “Absolutely anything, baby.”
Lifting a shoulder, I turned back just as Bub reached us, choosing to crawl instead of walking this time.
“Well, this little guy took his first steps by himself today, and you’ve given me some food for thought about my brother and your sister that I’m not sure is real. There’s probably a lot I could say, but I’m going to focus on Toby’s achievements.” Lifting him in the air over my head, I chuckled as he let out a shriek. “Who’s a clever boy?”
Realizing I hadn’t caught it on camera, I lowered him back to his feet.
“Can you do it again so I can record it, Bub?”
Getting out from behind me, Remy walked about ten feet away and got down onto his knees on the grass. “Tobe, can you come to Daddy?”
With my phone ready, I caught his drunken walk, this time with Wrecker walking beside him, happily helping him get his balance when he stumbled. By the time he got to Remy, I had three minutes of the cutest and best footage I’d managed to get of him to date.
Every memory was special, but the laughter and the look on his daddy’s face as Toby made his way to him was so precious no one would ever be able to give it a price.
It was hard to believe this was our lives now and how much change had happened in such a short time, but sometimes that’s how it happened. Not everything had to be drawn out, and given that we’d worked with each other for almost two years, was it really that short?
Sometimes, when something was that right, you had to grab onto it with both hands and never let it go.
That’s what I was doing. Croix’s accident and what’d happened to Carrie proved how short life could be and how it could change in the blink of an eye.
I never wanted to be without these memories or for them not to have good memories if anything ever happened to me, and that’s how I was going to live every day for the rest of my life.
“Take the tip into your mouth,” Remy instructed as I lay flat on the bed with my head hanging over the edge of it where he was standing with his cock pointed at my mouth.
Doing as he said, I sucked gently before sweeping my tongue over the tip.
“Fuck,” he hissed, pressing slightly deeper into me. “Just like that.”
It was the first time I’d ever done this for him. He’d gotten his test results back today so we were dispensing with condoms, and I was allowed to taste him finally.
“Put your hand around me now.”
My right hand was between my legs, my fingers gently rubbing my clit like he’d told me to do at the start, so I lifted my left one and used it instead. It always amazed me how silky smooth the skin on his penis was, especially when it was rock hard like now.
Remy leaned down and rested one hand on the bed next to my shoulder as his other one cupped my tit. The change in position pushed him slightly farther into my mouth, and I remembered to breathe through my nose and relax my throat so I didn’t gag when he hit the back of my throat.
Moving his hips backward, he withdrew until just the tip was between my lips again and then rolled them forward, slowly pressing back inside.
“Jesus,” he groaned, his body shuddering. “You feel so good.”
My back arched when he gently pinched my nipple, the feeling of it mixed with what my hand was doing, making me moan just as the head of his penis reached the opening to my throat again.
In a move that was so quick I couldn’t track it, he withdrew and got onto the bed between my legs.
