mound, her hand flies up behind her and hits the cupboard. A few of her business cards fall from the counter to the floor beside us.
“I forgot to ask, how was SparkFinder today?”
Juno’s back at matchmaking, but most of her business meetings are held in town at Brewed Awakenings instead of in an actual office. Funny that she enjoys the pink mobile now since it lets her travel to the neighboring towns and hold events there or meet with clients who have called her.
“No business talk.” She grabs my head and pulls me down to her. “It’s not like I’m asking you how many pussies you’re petting every day.” I laugh, but she rolls me over, straddling me. “I think we were like this when we got interrupted.”
She rocks back and forth, and without the friction of undergarments, the sensation makes my eyes roll back in my head. “Yeah, I think so too.” I place my hands on her breasts. “I think my hands were here.”
“If memory serves, yeah.” She rises up and guides me into her. “And I think you were just like that.” She moans.
“You might have been rocking,” I remind her.
Then all jokes are put aside because we’re both moaning our pleasure. Seeing that ring shining on her hand as she rides me takes me to the edge a lot faster these days. She rocks, digging her pelvis into mine as though she’s looking for friction, so I take one hand and play with her clit as she rides me.
“I’m almost there. Don’t stop.” As if I would, she holds my wrist, riding me with wanton abandonment.
“Yoo hoo!” Dori’s voice sounds out like the nightmare it is in this moment.
Juno stills then gets off me with wide eyes. “Didn’t you lock the door?” she whisper-shouts.
I nod.
“I thought you got the key?”
“So did I.”
We hide behind the island just like last time. Fucking hell.
“Again, you two?” Dori shakes her head. “Get in the car. Kingston was in an accident at work. They assure me it’s nothing serious, but we should go.”
Juno tenses beside me and I ask, “You sure he’s okay?”
“I’m telling you what they told me. I’m sure they wouldn’t lie.”
“Okay, let us get dressed. Grandma, you really have to start calling first,” Juno says.
She shoos us with her hand. “I’m the reason you two are together, don’t forget it.”
And because she’s kind of right, I keep my mouth shut and don’t ask her for the key back—again.
Most of the other Baileys are already in the waiting room when we arrive at the Anchorage hospital, since Dori waited for us to shower after I informed her that I could drive us. Apparently, that was her plan all along since Duke dropped her off at our place. I’ll be happy when she’s out of our business and on to another Bailey.
Juno beelines it over to pick up Easton, who adores her just as much as he adores his parents.
“Where’s Phoenix?” Grandma Dori asks Griffin.
“She’s coming. She’s picking Sedona up at the airport,” Griffin says.
“Sedona’s coming home?” It’s hard to surprise that woman but she looks genuinely shocked by the news.
Griffin shrugs.
“How long is she visiting for?” Savannah asks.
Griffin shrugs again.
Dori goes to the nurses’ station and talks to someone, but they say it’ll be awhile before Kingston can have visitors, since they’re getting him settled.
“I don’t get it, what happened?” I ask Austin.
“I guess he fell down a flight of stairs in the middle of the fire. But his chief just came over here and said he was fine when they brought him in. Maybe a concussion at worst. Doesn’t seem to have broken anything.”
I sit down next to him. “That’s good, I guess.” But I know Kingston’s gonna be pissed if he’s out of action for a while.
Trina, the nurse who helped me when Juno was here last month from the car accident, comes out of the back. Juno’s too busy with Easton to notice, so I stand to talk to her.
“Do you remember me?”
She smiles. “I do. You’re Kingston’s friend.”
“I am. Any chance we can see him?”
She looks over and cringes at the big family the big group. “Let me call back and see. Maybe half of you at a time?”
“Sure thing. Thanks.”
She calls back then says the doctor says it’s okay, that they’re waiting on X-rays and MRI results.
“Half of us can go see him,” I announce.
Everyone starts talking at the same time until finally it’s decided that Dori, Juno, Savannah, and I will go
