My pussy squeezes tightly around Jake’s cock, milking him for every last drop of his cum.
When it’s over, we lay sprawled across the bench, our bodies slick with sweat. Despite feeling dizzy and breathless, satisfaction and happiness wash over me.
Chapter 12

My fingers glide along the smooth, honey-colored wood of the new shelving unit Jake built for me, each touch revealing the exquisite craftsmanship.
Stepping back, I take in the sight of the display case beside it.
The glass is so clean and clear that you can see all the mouthwatering pastries inside without any problem.
The trim has intricate carvings—pretty vines and flowers wrap around, captivating the eye.
I'm in awe as I trace one of the blooms with my fingertip, seeing the love and dedication that went into every detail. Jake poured his heart into this.
The shelves are spaced just right to show off my yummy treats.
I start setting up the freshly baked goods, placing each pastry in its perfect spot in Jake's layout. Plump raspberry Danishes nestle beside golden almond croissants, and the piles of chocolate chip cookies beg to be eaten.
The new displays make my humble creations look like art, turning my cozy bakery into a chic patisserie. The artful arrangement makes everything look irresistible.
I'm incredibly thankful that Jake has brought so much into my life. I'm so proud of this bakery; Jake’s work makes it shine.
I can't believe I used to be so guarded and scared of getting hurt. But Jake, with his gentle strength and unwavering devotion, taught me it's safe to open my heart.
The old brass bell above the door jingles, interrupting my thoughts. Amber comes in, her backpack bouncing with each step.
She's been hanging out at the bakery on Friday afternoons, helping me test new recipes and decorate cookies. Baking brings us closer. It's our shared passion.
“Finley!” Amber squeals, running to the back of the store to hug me. “Look at all the pretty treats!”
I smile at the precious little girl whose innocent love and unbridled joy have stolen my heart.
“They're extra special today because of your daddy's new shelves. Do you want to help me finish setting them up?”
Amber's eyes sparkle with excitement as she nods enthusiastically. I treasure the time we spend together. Amber’s natural curiosity and her contagious laughter can brighten the darkest day.
Jake will be arriving soon. The news I have to tell him will change things between us, but everything is perfect for now, surrounded by the warmth of my bakery and Amber's love.
Jake
The phone buzzes on my workbench, interrupting my train of thought. I set down the sander and pick up the phone, my heart racing as I see my lawyer's name on the screen.
It’s been a month since Natalie’s visit. It’s time to finalise the divorce so we can get on with our lives.
Drawing in a sharp breath, I swipe to answer the call.
“Good news, Jake. Natalie signed the divorce papers,” the lawyer says, his voice tinged with satisfaction. “She's agreed to the custody arrangement and the lump sum payout.”
I slump against the workbench, squeezing my eyes shut briefly.
A sense of relief floods through me as if a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. “Thank you, Richard. I appreciate all your hard work on this.”
“You did the right thing by offering her a payout to leave you and Amber alone. Natalie was spiteful and never really wanted to be a mother. It’s the ideal outcome. This way, everyone gets what they want.”
The best-case scenario is knowing that Amber gets what she needs.
