videos on how to braid. Did you know there are dozens of variations of hair braiding?”

I can’t help but smile as I glance down at the instructional video on his phone. “And the doll?”

Isaac sighs. “Practice. I think I finally have it down,” he confirms, showing us the doll with long blonde hair, much like Lizzie’s. It’s a little crooked, but the doll has a well-executed French braid down its back.

“Wow, that’s impressive,” Mallory chimes in, smiling down at the doll in his hand. “You may be on braid duty from here on out.”

Isaac grins. “I’m just a call away,” he says, turning and grabbing his work bag from the kitchen table. “Now, I imagine I’m holding up whatever end-of-date activities you want to engage in, so I’m out. She fell sleep just after eight and hasn’t made a peep since. Good night, and don’t forget a condom.”

With that, Isaac slips out the front door, the echo of his shoes descending the stairs following in his wake. I make sure the lock is engaged and the chain secure before turning back to face Mallory. The look in her eyes is all I need to know.

I stalk toward her, as if she were my prey. Her green eyes widen and dilate as her breath hitches in her throat. She takes a step back, then another, until she’s backed against the living room wall. I slowly advance, my eyes devouring her from head to toe. Her breathing is slightly panted and her nipples strain against her shirt. She’s a vision, and fuck, if the fact she’s mine doesn’t make me hard as steel.

Instead of pressing my body against hers the way I long to, I keep a few inches of separation. She gazes up at me, her eyes glassy with lust, as she says, “Well, now that we’re alone…”

I place my hands on the wall beside her shoulders and lean in, inhaling her sweet scent. “Now that we’re alone,” I parrot, allowing only my nose to touch her as I slide it up her neck.

The slightest gasp spills from her lips as she tilts her head, granting me access. I lower my lips and slide them over her soft, creamy flesh, following the trail from my nose just a moment ago. “You taste like heaven,” I whisper.

“You touching me is even better,” she murmurs, pressing her chest forward and gliding her tits across my own chest.

“Is it?” I ask, moving one hand from the wall to grip her hip.

She rocks into me, brushing against my cock and making me groan. “I think you agree.”

“I do agree, sweetheart. Touching you is one of my favorite things ever.”

She gazes up at me and grips my shirt at my sides. “Then touch me. Please, Walker.”

My mouth slams into hers with an urgency of a possessed man. Mallory opens her mouth, granting my tongue entrance, as she rips my shirt up and claws at my flesh. “I’m going to need you naked, Mal. When I get you naked, I’m going to taste and touch every square inch of your body,” I practically growl with insistence. Then she’s in my arms, her legs around my waist, as I sprint to her bedroom.

The moment I cross the threshold, I press her into the wall, loving the sweet friction she creates against my cock. “I wish we were already naked. I’d fuck you against this wall.”

“Yes, that. Do that,” she pants, clawing at my shirt and trying to push it up and over my head.

I nip at her neck with my teeth. “But I told you I was going to touch and taste you.”

“Later. You can do all that later, Walker. Right now, I need you.”

I realize right then and there, I’m a weak man. I’m not strong enough to fight what I feel for her, and I’m not just talking sexually. I mean all of it. All that bullshit I tried to hide from, tried to keep at arm’s length. Here I am, ready to completely submit to a tiny blonde with the most amazing green eyes I’ve ever seen. Not to mention her daughter, who has completely stolen my heart.

Setting Mallory down on the floor, I strip her as quickly as possible, while she grips and tugs at my clothes. It takes me a bit to unlace and kick off my boots, but Mal keeps herself occupied by touching her pussy. My eyes are riveted to those delicate little fingers as she slides through her lips, coating
