he fucked me with his fingers and tongue until I came. I clapped my hands over my mouth, keeping my scream inside as I rode Vaughn’s face. He didn’t seem to mind one bit even when the movement of my hips became jerky and wild.
When the wave eventually passed, I was too weak to stand. Luckily, Vaughn was there to catch me, pulling me onto his lap as we both struggled to catch our breath. I could already see round two in his eyes when I met his gaze. He leaned in, and I was more than willing, rising to meet him halfway, but then short, angry cries had us both freezing.
River had awakened.
Vaughn groaned before setting me aside and rising to his feet. My eyes were already drooping by the time he washed his hands and lifted River from his crib.
“Cockblocker,” I swore I heard him mutter. I smiled as I rested my head against the seat of the recliner. In no time, I was asleep, awakening only when I felt myself being lifted. “I wasn’t done with you,” Vaughn griped as he laid me on the sofa bed.
The room was quiet, so I assumed River was fast asleep. I didn’t bother to protest when I felt Vaughn lay beside me. I told myself it was only because I felt guilty about him sleeping on the recliner. In the morning, I’d ask the nursing staff about having an extra bed brought it. It would be a tight fit, but River would be released in just a week and a half. If we couldn’t make the next few days work, Vaughn and I would be in for a rude awakening over the next eighteen years.
I expected to feel dread, but all I got was a sleepy yawn as Vaughn curved his hard body behind mine, leaving no space between us. The last thing I felt was his erection in my back and then his arm closing around my waist.
I felt like I was home.
THE NEXT MORNING, I WOKE up in bed alone.
Or so I thought.
I felt the spot where Tyra had been, and when I came up empty, my eyes slowly opened.
“Good morning, sunshine.” I shot up with a scowl at seeing Jamie lying on his side next to me, his head propped in his hand and a wide smile. “You’re so beautiful when you sleep, baby.”
“Fuck off.” I rubbed my eyes before looking around the empty room. Where the hell was Tyra?
“If you’re looking for your baby mama,” Jamie announced as he stood from the bed, “she’s downstairs having coffee with some poor sap in a janitor’s uniform.”
I froze. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“Tyra went on a date while you were up here, getting your beauty sleep.”
I was silent, trying to figure out how the hell that could be when I just had her pussy in my mouth. That prick from the diner flashed in my mind. I guess my message hadn’t been received. Then again, Tyra could be persuasive. She had me chasing her ass.
“Black, average height, looks like he enjoys pillow talk and long walks on the beach?”
Shoulders trembling, Jamie bit his bottom lip to keep from laughing out loud. “That would be the one.”
I felt my nostrils flare as I stood there, contemplating what to do. Obviously, I hadn’t scared him off, or maybe Tyra was so determined to piss me off, she didn’t care what the hell happened to him.
Seeing tiny movements coming from the crib, I walked over to find River wide awake, his gaze moving all around as if he were looking for his mother, too.
Fuck her. I refused to play this game. She wanted me jealous, she got it, but that didn’t mean I had to stoop to her level and act on it.
“If you want my advice,” Jamie began before I cut him off.
“I don’t.”
“Damn, man, you should have told me sooner. I’ve already started.” I rolled my eyes even though my back was turned. “Bee and I had a lot of issues—mountains I thought we’d never climb, but we did.” Jamie paused then for dramatic effect. “It’s amazing how much two people can accomplish when they sit down and talk their shit out.”
“You done, Dr. Phil?”
Of course, it all seemed simple to him. From the outside, without all the facts, one could never truly understand. From the inside, even with all the facts, one could never hope to explain. I looked over my shoulder in time to see
