us, joining in on the hug, pulling back after only a second, but still that second meant everything. This moment is everything. I never thought I would have what I have right now, didn’t even dare to dream it.
Epilogue
Zach
One year later
“If you tease me any more, I swear I’ll scream,” Shel whispers, and I smile against her mouth but keep my thrusts even and slow. “Zach, I’m not kidding. Please stop messing around,” she begs, tightening her legs around my hips while digging her nails into my back. I miss being inside of her. I miss it so fucking much that when I get it, I need to savor it like right now.
“Slow, baby. Later, we’ll go fast.”
“No, fast, and then we’ll go slow.”
“I’ll tell you what…” I thrust deep and keep myself there while looking down into her beautiful face. “If you can get me over onto my back, I’ll do whatever you want.”
“But I like this position,” she complains, rolling her hips and making my balls draw up.
“Then relax.” I smile, moving my hand to between her legs, rolling my fingers over her clit, which has her back arching off the bed and her core strangling my cock. “Fuck, how are you so goddamn tight?” I hiss, licking up the side of her neck and nipping her ear.
“Maybe because we never have sex anymore,” she gripes, and I feel her laugh and pull my face out of her neck to look down at her, smiling.
“Have I been neglecting your pussy?”
“Well, no, but…” She lets the last word hang.
“But what?”
“Shower sex isn’t the same,” she grumbles, and I nod. It’s not, but with a five-month-old and three big kids, there isn’t a lot of time. Still.
“I ate you out this morning,” I remind her, something she should know, since she’s the one who sat on my face and sucked me off while I did it.
“I know, but I miss you like this, on me and in me. I know it’s stupid.”
“It’s not stupid.” I pull out and thrust in hard. “I miss fucking you. I miss you being loud.” I thrust in again, only harder this time. “I fucking love how wet you get for me, how your pussy can’t seem to get enough and holds on like my cock is going to disappear. I miss this,” I say, taking her hands and pulling them up above her head, holding them there with one of mine, then reach down, pulling her nipples. “I miss all of this too, baby. You’re not the only one. But I still love your mouth around me.” I grin, and she laughs.
“Trust me, I know you love my mouth.”
“I love eating you out. I love the way you taste, and how you come so fucking hard every time I’m eating you and you’ve got my cock in your mouth.”
“Oh, God,” she breathes, and I feel her walls start to spasm.
“Fuck, come for me. Let me feel you come on my cock. Let me feel how wet you get when you come all over me.”
“Zach,” she hisses, leaning up, latching onto my shoulder with her teeth, and pulling me along with her as she falls over the edge. Thrusting three more times, I plant myself deep inside her then listen to her wild breathing that matches my own.
“Remind me to thank Joe for taking the kids,” I say, rolling to my back and dragging her with me.
“I’ll send her flowers,” she mutters, and I laugh, looking up at the ceiling, then run my fingers down her back. “I love you,” she whispers, not knowing those words mean everything to me, not knowing she has filled the void I felt for so long. She’s given me everything I’ve ever wanted and then some. I was content in my life with my kids, but with her, Hunter, and Penelope, my life is complete and my days are beautiful.

Seven years later
“Dad!” Pen yells, and I roll to my stomach, thankful it’s not me she’s after this early, then feel Zach’s mouth touch my shoulder before he gets out of bed. Knowing Pen, there could be a million reasons she’s yelling for her dad, but the most likely reason is she has done something she wasn’t supposed to and is calling him in first to butter him up before involving me. He’s a pushover for his girls, all of us. Not that he isn’t a pushover for Hunter and Steven, but it’s definitely not the same.
“Jesus, Pen, what the
