“Oh. Right. Jeez, I feel foolish now. I’m just so excited.”
“That’s okay,” I say. “I already told you not to worry about the birds. The cardinals. The eggs. You’re in charge of it all.”
“That’s my point,” Maryanne says. “The nest fell! And one of the eggs… it’s empty. A tiny hole. Sucked clean and dry.”
Sucked clean and dry…
I picture Cutter’s lips around my clit, suckling and savoring.
No… don’t do that, Piper… no…
“That’s awful,” I say. “That poor baby bird. That poor nest.”
“I saved the nest,” Maryanne says. She points to her head. “These are night goggles.”
“Wow.”
“That’s right. I have the nest on my back porch. I’m going to take care of these birds. Well, the eggs first. Then they’ll hatch. I’m going to do it.”
“I like that.”
“And if the mom comes back, I’ll be waiting. She can have her babies. This is amazing. Do you see what I’m about to do here?”
Do you realize what you’ve already done? I’m thrilled you saved some eggs. But you just cost me a chance to come all over a baseball player’s face!
“Are you okay?” Maryanne asks. “Your cheeks just got very red.”
“Yes. Just a long day and night. I really do have to leave shortly to get Saxon.”
“Sorry for just barging in. I should know better. This is your alone time. I should have respected it better.”
“Hey. We’re neighbors. We check up on each other. Just maybe send a text next time? And if I don’t respond, then come find me.”
“Deal,” Maryanne says.
“Great job with the cardinal eggs too. Those little birds don’t know how lucky they are.”
Maryanne’s face lights up with excitement.
She tells me she’s going back home to research how to properly incubate the eggs.
I nod, smile and wait for her leave.
I turn around and face the counter and feel like I’m going to collapse.
My hands spread wide open on the counter.
I really do have to leave and get Saxon shortly.
I definitely have enough time to finish what had been started.
I can grab a quick shower or sit on the edge of my bed or I can just stand right here and-
“I’m still here, sweetie,” Cutter’s rough cut voice says from behind me.
I jump as he touches my hips.
I try to turn but he stops me.
