Searching for Harmony (Boston Love 1)

One last push and Preston let out a low, rumbling grunt as he pressed his lips to mine and lifted me higher. He hit my sweet spot again and I gasped into his mouth as another orgasm started. Pulling away, he panted, “Fucking hell, you’re squeezing my dick and getting out every ounce of cum I’ve got.”

I loved it when Preston talked dirty to me. Smiling, I wrapped my legs around him tighter as we stood there for a few minutes. I loved that he was never in a rush to pull out of me. The connection we shared was amazing and I cherished it each and every time we made love.

Pulling out of me, he slowly let me down. “Jesus, you have no idea how much I needed that.”

Grinning, I purred, “Me, too.”

Quickly finishing up the shower, we both dried off and soon found ourselves in bed, where Preston slowly made love to me.

Running my finger up and down his chest, I listened to him breathing.

“What are you thinking about, Harmony?”

Smiling, I said, “How perfect this is.” Moving my head, I rested my chin on the back of my hand

as it lay on his chest. “About how happy I am and how happy you make me.”

Reaching down, he pulled me up closer to him, then pulled my lower lip into his mouth and gently sucked on it. “You make me happy, Harmony Banks. Don’t ever forget it.”

Before we got lost in yet another kiss, I pulled back and whispered against his lips, “Are you hungry? I made a roast and a peach cobbler.”

Pushing me off him, Preston made me laugh as he jumped up, got dressed, and called over his shoulder, “Meet you downstairs, baby.”

Sitting up, I pulled my knees to my chest and smiled. I made a note to myself to call my brother and tell him he needed to ask Sandy as soon as possible to marry him. Life was too short to wait.2

“Harmony! Baby, come on before I eat the cobbler first!”

Giggling, I jumped up and threw on one of Preston’s T-shirts and rushed to the kitchen.

Yes. I’m happy and I’m not going to feel guilty about it. I’d give anything to have my baby back, but Preston has taught me that I can be happy once again.

Chapter 20

Choices

Preston

Sitting at the table, I couldn’t concentrate. “Ward, what the fuck? Are you going to play or stare off into space?”

Looking up, I glanced around the table. Nodding, I said, “Right, sorry. Um…I’ll take two cards.” Pulling out two cards, I put them down on the table and slid them to the center of the table as I picked up the other two cards.

Smiling when I saw the queen of hearts, I shook my head.

Sharp took one look at me and threw his cards in the middle of the table. “Aw, hell no. I know that smile, I’m out.” Soon, everyone was out except for the captain and me.

“You ready to show what you think you’ve got, son?” Captain Ryan said with a smirk on his face.

“Bring it,” I said with a grin.

Captain Ryan laid down his cards and everyone yelled out. Taking a look at them, I said, “Damn, three of a kind and a pair. Cap’s got a full house.”

Cap was pulling the pile of chips toward him when I said, “But…I believe my girl is with me tonight.” Spreading my cards, I laid out a royal flush. “The queen of hearts was all I needed and damn, Cap, you dealt it straight to me.”

Rolling his eyes, Cap got up and pushed his chair back. “Ward, I want to talk to you in my office. Now.”

Everyone laughed as I scooped up my chips and started high-fiving everyone. Sharp walked up to me and shook his head. “Damn, you know you pissed off the cap when he loses at poker and wants to talk to you in his office.”

Laughing, I nodded. “Right?” Placing my winnings in my hat, I took off toward the captain’s office.
