EPILOGUE

HENDRIX

A FEW YEARS LATER

“You should not be doing this,”Lila gasps in my ear. Probably not. We’re in Lila’s best friend Ann’s dorm room, after all. They’d spent the day together getting ready. Beau and I came here to meet up with them. Beau had asked Ann to show him around, giving me a moment alone with my wife.

“I haven’t seen you in over seven hours.” I slide my hand over the crest of her sex, bracketing her sex between two fingers. She’s already wet. “I missed you.”

Her grip around my wrist tightens as I stroke her outer lips. “We can wait.”

“It doesn’t feel like it.” I thrust inside of her, letting her hear the sounds of her arousal as I begin to fuck her with my hand. She’s so delectably tight and hot. My head spins, and lust chokes me as if I wasn’t balls deep in her just this morning. I swear I can’t go for more than a few hours without touching her in some way. I deprived myself for too long, and now I can never get enough of her.

“I can’t help it,” she cries, but her hips start moving to meet my thrusts. “You touch me there and I immediately respond.”

“And I can’t allow you to go unsatisfied. That’d be a crime somewhere. I’m your husband and should always take care of you.” I trail my lips down her neck, giving her a soft bite at the base. The nip makes her moan. I lick the bite and savor the warm taste of her. “Tonight, it’ll be my tongue where my fingers are and then my cock. You’ll ride me like the good girl you are, and if you’re especially obedient, I’ll let you suck me off before I fuck you dizzy.”

“Fuck you,” she replies without much power. “I’ll take whatever I want.”

“Exactly how I like it. I’ll let you fuck me dizzy then. After. After I’ve eaten you out. After I’ve kissed you all over. After I’ve had you on your back and your knees, belly down, ass up. After. After. After.” I still can never get enough of her. Once the flood gates had been opened all those years ago, there had been no going back.

I add another finger and quicken the pace. There’s not much time. Beau and Ann will be back soon. The graduation ceremony is about to start, but Lila looked so delicious all dolled up with her cap and gown that I couldn’t resist. Plus, I know what is coming next in our lives now that Lila has graduated from college.

The collar of her robe halts my progress, so I switch to her face, capturing her lips with mine. She tongues me back, deeply, ravenously. She missed me, too.

Her cap falls as I tip her head back for better access. Around my fingers, her cunt clutches me, draws me in. Her walls flutter like butterfly wings. My cock surges against its fine wool restraints, wanting to be inside of her.

I press the heel of my hand against the bone of her sex. She pushes against the pressure, wanting more, needing more. Lust and desire roll through her. Her hand pulls me closer as she rides my fingers. Blood pounds in my ears. “Keep going. I’ve got you. Fall for me, angel. You know you want it.”

“Yes, oh, please.”

I slam into her, hard and fierce. I kiss and suck and thrust as she shakes and shudders in my grasp. Pleasure seizes her, roiling up her frame and expending in my hand. I capture her mouth again to swallow the sharp cry of delight that she releases when her orgasm comes. I rub her back in large soothing circles, and my deep kisses turn to tender ones.

When she surfaces from her orgasm, I’m treated with a groan.

“My panties are wet.” She makes a face.

“No worries here.” I fist the band of her panties and snap the elastic. “Problem solved.” I dangle the torn fabric between us. When she tries to snatch it from my hand, I swiftly pocket it and press a hard kiss against her mouth. “No wet panties.”

“I cannot walk across that stage with the breeze blowing between my legs.”

“You can and you will.” I give her another kiss before backing away. I can hear her friend approaching as she chats with Beau. Using a handkerchief from my suit coat, I clean off her delicate liquids from my hand before picking up her hat from the table where it fell when I first kissed her. Dusting off the mortarboard, I sneak in one more quick kiss before placing the cap on her head and adjusting her gown. “Perfect. You don’t look like I just finger-fucked you.”

Lila turns bright red and hits my arm. “You’re a menace.”

The door bursts open, and Beau saves me from further punishment. I draw my boy close to my side and give Lila’s friend, Ann, a nod of hello. Lila met Ann in her first class in college. They’d become fast friends. She too had a bunch of college courses under her belt from high school and planned to tackle her degree in three years. The same as Lila. Ann was often over at our place for their cram sessions. Ann was good for Lila, and as much as I didn’t want to share her, I knew she needed friends.

“I asked Ann to wait for me.”

Ann turns the same shade as Lila. “I’m too old for you, Beau. You should be dating kids your own age.”

“Don’t wanna.” He folds his arms across his chest. “Drix says age is just a number.”

Lila starts coughing, and I have to stare at the ceiling for a good thirty seconds to keep my laughter in.

“I do say that,” I acknowledge once I have myself under control. Now I’m starting to understand why Beau was always hanging around them when they were studying.

“See?” Beau puts his chin up. “I know what I want, and Drix says—”

“Okay, Beau, why don’t you lead us to the graduation hall so we aren’t late for the ceremony,” Lila says, interrupting him. As he’s being dragged into the hallway by Lila, he calls over his shoulder, “Don’t hook up with another guy cuz I’ll have to end him.” He makes a cutting gesture across his throat.

Lila says something I can’t hear, but Beau’s response is clear. “I can’t lie to her, Lila. That’s no way to start a relationship.”

This time I can’t keep my laughter in. Ann shakes her head at me. “You two have lost it.”

“He’s serious, Ann. You better be prepared.” I wipe the tears away from my eyes and hold out my arm. “The Mason men believe in love at first sight, and nothing in the world will ever change their minds, especially not a pesky thing like age.” Like father, like son. A wide grin settles on my face. Ann will learn, just like Lila did. A Mason man is steadfast, loyal, and persistent. They know what they want and won’t settle for anything less.
