Love is family, Stone said. I want to be Adara’s dad. I want to be Enya’s partner in life. And I want the three of us to be a family. I’m confident Enya will never let me stray from this chosen path.

The soft click of the shower door opening and closing tells me she’s heard my thoughts. Through the barrier of a bathroom and bedroom, where she nursed Adara and set her in her bassinet, Enya reads me. She gave me a few minutes to myself but knew I couldn’t be trusted with my thoughts for long.

Her arms wrap around me from behind and she presses kisses up and down my spine. While I want to spin and face her, examine every inch of her for signs of fear or distress, I melt beneath her attention.

Just this once, I tell myself. I’ll let someone else take care of me.

Enya kisses my back and smooths her hands over my chest. She removes her touch only to grab shampoo. “Lean back.”

I do as she says, and she massages my scalp, using her fingertips to lather the shampoo. With a gentle nudge, she spins me so I can rinse my hair myself as I’m taller than her. When my head is free of shampoo, she presses at my sides, turning me so my back is to her. I’m a puppet, and she controls my strings. Taking over my movements, she washes me with a tender massage at my neck and over my shoulders, down my back and along my ass.

Her touch is sensual, but she isn’t seducing me. She’s caring for me.

Her hands work down the back of my legs and around the front, but she never turns me to face her. Skipping over my dick which has grown hard from the tenderness of her touch, she washes my chest, smoothing up my front and over my pecs. Finally, she scrubs down one arm and then repeats the cleansing on the other.

All that remains is my face and my cock. I reach for face wash and scrub at my own forehead, sliding down to my cheeks, when her arms wrap around me once more and her breasts hit my back. Her hands cup my balls, and then she’s stroking my stiff shaft.

I quickly rinse the suds from my face and glance down at her fist tugging at my hard length.

“Sugar,” I groan at the sight of her pleasing me. Then I lower my hand and cover hers, squeezing tighter, tugging harder. With my other hand braced on the tile wall, I watch as we stroke my dick together.

Enya kisses my back, allowing me to take over and use her hand gripping my shaft to release the last bits of tension inside me.

After I spill and watch my seed slither down the drain, I spin and face her, taking her head in my hands and kissing her. I lap at her tongue and suck at her mouth. I’m spent but I’ll give her anything she wants in this new, relaxed state I’m in. I’m floating, finally free and clear of all thoughts. It’s a new kind of high. It’s Enya.

“I love you,” I mutter to her mouth.

She smiles against my lips, happy to hear the words. “I love you, too.”

The phrase imprints on my mouth. Instantly, I drop to my knees and stroke a finger against her core. She cups my jaw, tipping up my head so I meet her eyes.

“That was all for you.” Her expression says this shower was a gift.

“I want this all for me, too.” I swipe along her slick folds, feeling how much she wants me. I’m still baffled, still stunned, but so grateful. I’m the one who owes her a thousand thank yous.

“It is yours.” A teasing smile tugs at her mouth. Her eyes heat to a golden brown.

I lower my face to the apex of her legs and wedge between them, forcing her thighs to spread. Keeping my eyes on her, I watch her response as I take my first taste. My tongue swipes across her center. She’s pure sugar.

“Baby,” she moans, her eyes drifting shut.

“Watch me.” I kiss her pubic bone. “Watch us.” Then I’m devouring her, sipping at her sweet honey flavor and slicing through the softness of her flesh until she’s rocking on my face. I clutch at her flexed ass cheeks and hold her to me until she comes on my tongue.

“Yes,” she whispers, her breath hitching.

I glance up to witness her expression of ecstasy.

She’s a candle in a dark house. A fire on a cold night. She’s my blazing beacon.

And I’m finally where I belong.

With her. And Adara.

My flames.
