I was in the mood to take her from behind, so I stood up and guided her to the bed. She got on all fours and crawled across the comforter. When she looked over her shoulder, she had that look of fire in her eyes. I settled behind her then grabbed her by the neck. I was always gentle with her, but insane at the same time. I slipped inside her with no friction—she was soaked.
“Cash…” She moved her ass, rocking my cock inside her.
I pressed my chest against her back and wrapped my arm around her waist. I held on and pulled her onto my cock. She was so light, it wasn’t hard. Every time my head slid past her entrance, I felt my cock twitch. I loved her pussy. She was small and tight, but able to accommodate my size. She never stretched too much.
“Baby, I’m going to come,” she said with a moan.
She never called me baby before. That was a first. I liked it—really liked it. It was affectionate and intimate. I felt like I wasn’t just a guy fucking her. I was important to her.
I rocked into her hard and fast, pushing her over the edge. She gripped the arm around her waist and breathed into the orgasm shooting through her body. I forced myself to wait until she was completely finished. I knew most guys didn’t care if their partners got off. I did. Not only because I cared about Prudence and wanted her to feel good, but because I wanted her to come back for more. That was the key.
I let myself go and emptied inside her. Knowing my seed was being implanted was a turn-on in itself. I rocked into her as I finished, feeling the tenderness in my groin. I loved making love to Prudence. It was the best I ever had. I pulled out then lay beside her on my bed. I took the left side and she took the right. Even when she wasn’t around, I still stuck to my side. It was a habit.
She pulled the sheets over her shoulder then sighed. I could tell she was happy with my performance.
You’re welcome. I had a cocky grin on my face.
“You always do that.”
My smile dropped. “What?”
“Smirk like an idiot after we’re done. We’ve had sex at least a hundred times. Not exactly a challenge.”
Damn, she caught me. “I’m just happy.”
“Really happy.” She gave me a cute grin.
I hooked my arm around her waist and pulled her to my side of the bed. “Why are you way over there?”
“It’s my side.”
“My side is your side.”
“My mistake.”
I kissed her forehead then held her close. My long day was forgotten. I was exactly where I wanted to be. “Did my mom drive you crazy?”
“No. I love your mom.”
“And was my sister on her best behavior?”
“Yep. She even apologized for her previous behavior.”
“Good.” That brat was still going to get an earful from me. “Did you have lunch too?”
“Yeah. We ate at the country club.” She moved her arm around my waist. “Thank you for the money…I wouldn’t have been able to afford anything.”
I could tell she was uncomfortable taking money from me. It took an hour just to get her to put it in her wallet. I was annoyed at the time, but also happy. She didn’t care about money or superficial things. I had an account at Tiffany’s because I bought my lady friends so many things. But I hadn’t bought her a single thing. She didn’t want anything. But that somehow made me like her even more. “You’re very welcome. I know the country club is a rip-off.”
She laughed. “You can say that again. I need to pay rent on our apartment. And lunch alone was my full amount.”
Which brought me to my next question. “Baby, I want to ask you something.”
She turned her chin up, looking me in the face. “What?”
“Move in with me.”
Prudence stilled at my question. Her eyes didn’t change because she was still processing my request. Then confusion settled onto the lines of her face. “What do you mean?”
“Spend your last month here. You’ll save money, you’ll have your own space, you’re here all the time anyway, and the most important reason—it’ll make me really happy.”
“That’s a lot of togetherness…I don’t want to infringe on your privacy or your space.”
“I have nothing to hide.” I didn’t. I hadn’t watched porn since I met her, none of my booty call friends had texted me, and there was nothing in my life I was afraid to share with her. Now that she knew I was divorced, I had no secrets except my real job.
“But I’ll always be here…”
I smiled. “That’s the point, Prudence.”
“Are you sure?”
“Are you saying yes?” Please say yes.
Her eyes darted back and forth. “Why do you want me to stay here?”
I thought that was pretty obvious. “Because I love being with you.”
“And this has nothing to do with Gavin?”
Damn. She was good. “It may be a factor into my decision…”
“Any other reason?”
“You help me sleep.”
“And that’s it?” she asked.
“And the biggest reason of all. I love being with you. There’s no catch, Prudence.”
She became quiet.
“Why is that so hard for you to believe?” After I asked the question, I wished I hadn’t. Her response would break my heart. I knew it would.
“Isaac never spent the night. We always fooled around then he would leave, saying he had homework or work. He never wanted to spend time with me unless we were fucking.” Her voice was quiet, full of pain.
“I’m not him,” I said firmly. “I’m not a fucking asshole.”
“I never said you were.”
I grabbed her face and turned her gaze on me. “I love being with you. You make me happy. I promised I’d never lie to you. And I haven’t.”
She rested her hand on mine.
“That piece of shit is the dumbest fucker I’ve ever heard of. Don’t value your worth based on his treatment of you. You’re a rare find, Prudence. A diamond in the rough, an unbroken seashell in the sand, and someone’s everything.” I kissed her forehead and let my lips linger for a long time. I’d do anything to take her pain away. Anything.
“I try not to let it get to me. But it just does…”
