“It hasn’t been so bad, I guess. I mean, it’s only been two days, and he sleeps till noon.”
I nod. “Yeah, he does that when he’s between bounties because he doesn’t sleep that well on the road. He stays up for long hours at a time, plus hotel beds suck.”
“It was nice to just hang out. I’m gonna wear him down eventually.”
Smiling at her determination, I wrap my arm around her shoulder and squeeze. “I have no doubt that you will.”

SIX MONTHS LATER
“Mmm…you’re so warm,” Sophie murmurs against my chest, which causes me to laugh, considering California has hot as fuck summers and it’s the middle of June. “Ignore the alarm and stay in bed.”
I silence my phone and wrap my arms around her. “Wish we could, baby.” I drag my nose along the planes of her face until I find her lips. “Let’s go take a shower together. Then we’ll have twice as long.”
Sophie wraps her leg over my hip and pushes my erection against her pussy. She hums with a smile, keeping her eyes closed. “Soph…” I warn, watching as she bites her lip.
Since Maddie moved in after Thanksgiving, Sophie’s been in my bed every night, and it’s just how I want it. My future wife should only ever be in my bed. Even though the students in Maddie’s apartment got relocated to another building while they remodeled, Sophie liked spending more time with her, so she asked her to stay through the summer. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Maddie just moves in, considering the room is available anyway. She has one more year of school before she graduates, and I know when Sophie and I get married, we’ll find a place of our own.
Sophie reaches down between us and strokes my cock. My head falls back as she increases her pace and pushes my shorts down. “Baby…” I mutter, but it’s useless. I’m a fucking sucker for her.
She’s not wearing bottoms, so when she presses the tip of my dick to her entrance, it doesn’t take much for her to slide her panties to the side, and then arches her body into mine. Surrendering, I grip her hip and push inside. Sophie moans, and I pull out before sliding back, harder.
“Fuck,” I hiss with our foreheads touching and our breaths mingling. Grabbing her thigh, I raise it higher and go even deeper. “You’re gonna have to come fast, sweetheart.”
We’re supposed to be getting ready to go to Hunter and Lennon’s housewarming party in an hour, and I could make love to Sophie all day.
“Mmm, yes…right there. Don’t stop.” She moans loudly, and I kiss down her jaw, then suck on her neck as I thrust harder. Sophie plays with her clit, and I know the sensitive part behind her ear sets her off every time.
“Come on my cock, Soph,” I whisper-growl, then press my mouth to her sweet spot.
Her body starts to shake, and I know she’s growing closer. We’ve become experts at morning quickies, considering my long work hours and her rehearsals don’t always allow us a lot of time at night. I’ve been in my position for less than a year, which means I’m still working on-call shifts.
“So close,” she whimpers, then wraps a hand around my neck. Seconds later, she screams my name as her pussy squeezes my cock.
“Christ, babe.” I pant, my release following hers moments after.
We lie together in silence as we catch our breaths. “We’re gonna be late,” she finally says, chuckling. “Maddie’s probably already waiting for us.”
“Then I guess we better shower together after all.” I lower my hand and smack her ass. Sophie squeals and laughs as I scoop her out of bed and walk us into the bathroom. “Not gonna be a good impression for your parents if we show up late as fuck.”
Considering I’ve completely cut my father out of my life for good, her parents liking me and approving of our relationship is important to both of us. After Serena came clean about everything, she kept her word about not going public with the affair, but to keep my father on his toes, she reminds him she can and will if he doesn’t keep up with his financial responsibilities. She’s seven months pregnant, and even if my father doesn’t want to be involved in my little brother’s life, I have been and plan to be always. Serena is one of the strongest women I know, and she’ll get through this even as a single mom. Though I do hope some day she meets a nice guy who can love her and her son.
Once Sophie and I have showered and finished getting ready, we’re only a few minutes late to the party. We’re greeted by Hunter and their three-month old, Aaron, who was born in March. Since Lennon named Allie after her favorite singer, she let Hunter choose a boy name. Since Hunter is a huge football fan and played in high school and college, he picked Aaron Rodgers, his favorite quarterback.
