“But you like her a lot.” Her voice went soft and reminded him of the nights she’d come into his room after he’d gone to bed and said the Lord’s prayer over him as he feigned sleep.

“I do. I really like her.”

“How did you meet?”

That was the question he’d been dreading, and he didn’t want to lie to her about it but had no choice. “She’s had some trouble, Ma, and my company is helping her out. She’s working for us now too.”

“I know you’ll fix this, my boy. You’ve always been a fixer. Even as a child, you took a problem or saw someone in need and wanted to help them. I know you wanted to help Devon too, but that boy was already lost.”

The words she’d never said before tore at his chest, leaving a lump in his throat. “I think I love her, Mum, and Maggie as well.”

“Well, of course you do. You wouldn’t get my old heart geared up like this if she wasn’t already your heart. When can we meet her?”

“As soon as her problems are sorted out, we’ll come down for the weekend.”

“Oh, I need to see if Doris has that travel cot… No, forget that, only new for my grandbaby. Send me some pics, baby boy.”

“I will. And, Ma, I love you.”

“I love you too, my boy, so much.”

Mitch hung up then as he pulled into the drive of his home and saw the light still on in Autumn’s apartment. He hastened his pace as he walked towards his front door. He made sure to secure it properly before taking the stairs two at a time.

Stopping at her door, he hesitated a second trying to get his body under control, the mere thought of this woman driving him crazy with desire. Sucking in a breath, he blew it out slowly and then knocked, not too loud in case he woke Maggie. He heard the locks disengage on the other side before the chain slid free, then she was standing before him.

His eyes travelled the length of her, from her perfect head to the tips of her toes that were covered in fluffy blue socks. Her legs were bare to his eyes, as she was clad only in sleep shorts and a cotton jersey cami. All his good intentions went out of the window at the sight of her as she smiled, and his heart kicked up a gear.

Without thinking, he pushed inside the apartment, cupping her face between his hands, and kissing her as he backed her up against the wall, closing the door with his booted foot. Autumn’s hands moved around his back holding on, a mewling sound of pleasure escaped her as he kissed her like she was his oasis in a dry desert.

He pressed his hard body into her softer one, his hand stroking down her neck, over her collar bone before firmly cupping her lush tit. His thumb rubbed over the tight bud of her nipple, and she squirmed against him, her hands sliding under his shirt so she was touching his skin.

It was heaven and it was hell because he knew he wouldn’t take her now, not like this. No, Mitch wanted to take his time, to explore every inch of her sexy body and treat her like the queen she was.

Pulling back, he felt his lips pull into a smile at her moan. She wanted him, and he fucking loved that she did. As his lips moved over the pulse in her neck, he slipped a hand into the tiny shorts she wore and felt the heat of her pussy against his fingers. The slick, wet evidence of her desire for him coating his finger as he entered her, fucking her gently with his two fingers, the sound of her rasping breaths in his ear making his cock impossibly hard.

“You want to come, honey?” Her answer was to push herself into his hand, almost riding his fingers. Mitch pulled back slowly, not allowing her to dictate what was happening. “Answer me with words or I won’t let you come. Do you want me to get you off?”

“Yes.” The sound was more a moan as he stroked a thumb over the delicate bundle of nerves at her centre, causing her to suck in a sharp breath, her head hitting the wall as she arched into his touch.

He gazed down, in awe of her beauty as he felt her legs begin to shake with her impending orgasm. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”

His words must have tipped her over the edge because her pussy squeezed his fingers, her breathing became laboured as he covered her mouth with his, drinking in her pleasure as he kissed her.

When she stopped shaking, he slowed his kiss and withdrew his fingers. Lifting his head, he held her eyes with his and licked his fingers, tasting her sweet juices on his tongue. Autumn’s eyes were wide and slumberous as she watched, and he knew she liked it by the way she wet her bottom lip with her tongue.

“You taste as sweet as you look.”

With a final kiss he pulled away, putting some space between them for a moment but grabbed Autumn’s hand, leading her towards the sofa where he sank down with her on his lap. Cradling her with his arms, he waited for her to settle as she drew her legs up and cuddled into him, her head on his shoulder.

“I missed you today.”

His admission was unplanned, but it was the truth. He’d never been with a woman he couldn’t stop thinking about, but with Autumn, he had no choice. She was on his mind every spare second he had.

“I missed you too and for the record, if that’s how you show me you miss me, then you can miss me all the time.”

He frowned not liking the idea of missing her, because that meant not being with her. “I don’t like that idea. How about I just plan on doing that to you anyway?” His lips twitched as he raised a brow in question. Her husky laughter hit him in the chest, and he wondered if he’d ever get tired of the sound of her happiness and knew he wouldn’t.

“That sounds like a plan.” Her fingers skimmed over his biceps, the gentle touch almost torture to his aching cock.
