It didn’t. The revelation hit him like a ton of bricks. He loved his mom and dad, but his brothers had always been distant. Ian and Sean were his real brothers, the ones he could always count on. They didn’t need some mystical blood connection to build a family. They only needed each other and open hearts, and a will to dedicate themselves to their kids. Family, he’d discovered, was in the people a man collected along the way, the people who shared his life, like his precious wife.
“We can still have it, angel. We can still build a family.”
Her hand came back, covering his. “Do you really think so, Alex?”
“I know it. I will make it happen. I won’t ever give up.”
He pressed in, pushing his cock past the muscles that tried to keep him out.
“I love you, Alex. I never stopped loving you.” Eve pressed back against him. “And I missed this. I won’t give up either.”
He slid inside, her tight hole gripping him as he teared up. Just a little. Just enough to make the world hazy and beautiful and fresh again. She was here, really here with him. She was his partner.
He fucked into her, unable to hold back a second longer.
She called out his name as he dragged his cock out. The same muscles that fought to keep him out sucked at him, desperate to keep him inside.
So good. It was different from her pussy, the heat, the drag, the fight. Eve pushed back against him, gripping the headboard now. His sweet sub wasn’t so submissive now. She fought for her pleasure, and he was more than willing to give it to her.
His balls drew up. A shiver went over his spine. She was too tight, too fucking good. He wouldn’t last, but he would take her with him.
He let his hand slide forward, his thumb finding her clit. It was still slippery wet. He ground his palm against her as he went balls deep, his come shooting up from his testicles.
Eve clenched around him, her breath pounding from her lungs as she worked his cock and pressed her clit against his hand.
He filled her, fucking in and out until he had nothing left to give.
He fell forward, his cock slipping out.
Eve turned, catching his lips with hers. “My sweet Master.”
He kissed her back. She was his everything, and he would never let her go again.
Chapter Thirteen
Eve stretched and glanced at the clock. Two a.m. Alex turned in his sleep, his big body moving as he reached for her pillow and slid an arm around it as though he was clutching her.
What the hell was she going to do with him? Could they really make it work this time? A million questions floated through her head, making it difficult to sleep. She grabbed her robe and slid it on before taking the file folders and walking out of the bedroom. She made her way to the kitchen and the gorgeous granite bar.
Which was already occupied.
“Can’t sleep?” Sean asked. “I kind of thought you would be exhausted.”
She groaned. She should have known they could hear. And it wasn’t like they would be shy. “Tell me y’all didn’t turn it into an event.”
Adam snorted a little as he walked in from the balcony. “Sean made snacks and everything. Kristen found us and tried to get us to stop, but then she heard that little sizzling sound and she just shut up and asked for a beer. She resented the fact that she had to go back to the club.”
“He brought a violet wand with him?” Sean asked.
She was pretty sure every cell in her body flushed with embarrassment. After the first round, Alex had been eager to play and he had, in fact, brought along a small, not too powerful violet wand. It emitted a little electrical charge against the skin that she happened to love, especially on her nipples. Alex had tied her down and tortured her, and apparently she’d been a little loud. “Alex likes to be prepared.”
“A BDSM boy scout,” Adam said with a grin. He looked off toward the back bedrooms, and his voice went low. “She knew exactly what she was hearing. Did you see that, Sean? Most people would think Taser, but no, her eyes actually dilated the minute she heard that sound. She was aroused by it.”
Sean leaned in. “She’s trained. I used my Dom voice on her a couple of times and I swear, she nearly went to her knees.”
Eve placed the stack of files on the bar. “What does it matter if she’s trained? And I thought you were starting to like her, Sean.”
Sean’s hands came up as though trying to stop an oncoming lecture. “I do like her. I actually think she’s really cool, but sometimes I catch her watching me. I think she might be falling for me, and while it’s perfectly understandable, I love my wife. I’ve made that very clear. I think what that girl is really longing for is a Dom.”
“You don’t know that she doesn’t have one,” Adam said. “But he’s right. I’ve caught her staring at Sean for long periods of time. We really don’t know a damn thing about her except that she’s funny and can drink me under a table. Seriously, the girl can chug.”
