me, and he grabbed my knees and pushed my legs to my chest.
“Holy shit.” I thought he was deep before, but we had just reached deepness level ten. Wow.
My breathing became panting, and I felt my desire start to swell and build. I splayed my hands on his chest and trailed my nails over his skin.
This is what I wanted. This is what I needed.
“You gonna come for me, sugar?”
I mewled and arched my back. My hips reached up to him and crashed against his. “Yes, please. Don’t stop,” I pleaded.
Sledge’s finger flicked the tight bud of nerves, and it felt like a bolt of electricity coursed through me. “Feel it, sugar. Feel me inside you.”
I felt it. There was no way in hell I couldn’t. “Make me come, Sledge. Make me yours forever.”
He growled low and covered me with his body. He thrusts were hard and deep, and they tipped me right over the edge and into the oblivion of my orgasm.
Sledge followed right behind me, my pussy milking his cock while he kept thrusting.
“Oh, God,” I moaned. I couldn’t take anymore. I was going to melt into a puddle right there on the couch.
Sledge thrust one last time and moaned my name.
The only sound was our heavy breathing and our hearts beating fast.
“Well…that was…” I didn’t know what to say.
Amazing?
Wonderful?
Fan-fucking-tastic?
They are summed it up pretty good.
“That was totally worth the wait,” Sledge panted.
That, too.
“What are the odds we could actually take a nap and Gunner doesn’t wake up?” I whispered.
“Why are you whispering?” Sledge asked. “You just screamed ‘Oh, God’ at the top of your lungs and now you think you need to whisper?” His body shook with laughter and he pressed a kiss to my shoulder.
“Because I really want a nap now. It doesn’t hurt to keep it quiet.” That rule obviously didn’t apply when Sledge and I got it on, but hopefully in the future, I would be able to keep the screaming and yelling down.
He grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and draped it over us. “I’m not making any guarantees that you’ll get some sleep, but we’ll give it a whirl.”
I snuggled into him and inhaled deeply. “Just five minutes and I’ll be good to go.”
“Right,” Sledge drawled.
I hummed blissfully. “Just let me live in this blissful bubble for a minute longer, yeah?”
Sledge kissed my forehead. “Sleep, sugar. You’ve earned it.”
Damn straight, I had.
Gunner was home.
Sledge and I finally managed to get it on.
All was right in our little bubble, and I deserved to just enjoy it.
Damn fucking straight.

Chapter Twenty-One
Pay it forward…
Sledge
“Answer it.”
“I don’t want to answer it, Queenie.”
Queenie snatched the phone from me and pressed it to her ear. “Hello?” She smiled wide. “Hey, Deedra!”
It was the news. They had been calling me since Gunner had come home, but I never answered it. I wasn’t interested in having them burst into my new-found family and blast it all over the TV. Gunner and Queenie’s faces were already all over the TV enough with the candid photo they managed to snap when we were leaving the hospital. They didn’t need to actually barge into our world and record everything.
Queenie gave me a thumbs up. “A follow-up story?”
I shook my head no.
Queenie stuck out her tongue.” I think that sounds like an amazing idea. I know Sledge is going to think it’s a great idea, too.”
I rolled my eyes, grabbed my beer, and tried to tune out the rest of her conversation.
It wasn’t possible.
Deedra and her camera guy were coming to the fucking clubhouse on Tuesday to do an interview and make another video like the one we had made when we were searching for Gunner.
“I don’t know why you agreed to that.”
Queenie handed me back my phone and smiled wide. “Because I want the world to see that Gunner is home and safe.”
“They know that, Queenie. We don’t need to hop on the TV to prove to anyone that we’re happy.”
She rolled her eyes and swiped on her phone. She held it up to my face. “This is why I want to go on TV. That reward money is just sitting there, and I want to do something with it.”
“Like what?”
She smiled wide and launched herself into my arms. “Like pay it forward and help other people like people helped us when we needed it.”
I pressed a kiss to her lips and shrugged. I really couldn’t argue with that. I knew Queenie had a huge heart, and I guess the world
