Travis was a doomed man. Alana nodded her head as if in agreement and picked up the phone.

It only took a few minutes to get the call connected.

I’d barely had time to talk to Evie between court dates, and the frequent appointments I had with clients lately. Her new job with Travis, a local steel manufacturer, had also proven demanding, and she often brought home work

I’d talked to her on the phone, and I’d seen her on video calls, but not often in person.

I needed to hold her now, to smell her clean scent, to feel the wonderful soothing presence of her as I soothed away the fright that bastard gave her.

I needed Evie.

I sped through the conference call, informed them of the situation, and made my demands. There was no room for argument, I didn’t care if they wanted an investigation, I wanted the man out of the program, and an interview performed with the last trainee. I wanted to know if she’d had the same treatment from Travis. I would not tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone acting as an employer for this program. As a financial contributor I made my demands clear up; comply or face defunding. They had to remain within the bounds of the law, but otherwise Travis was out.

I drove to the supermarket, found the ingredients for her favorite meal, and made my way to the apartment.

She knew I was on my way, but I thought the balloons I bought at the store and her favorite ice cream would make a nice surprise.

I wondered for a moment if I’d catch her in the tub and hoped I would. She could spend hours in the hot water and steam up, happy with a book in her hands. We’d had a couple of weeks together before she went to work for Travis, and it was a happy time for us.

I wanted those times back, and as much as I wanted her to find her own success in life, I knew the work placements available now would take even more time away from us. A plan had started to form in my mind, but I’d deal with that part tomorrow.

I stopped the car, pulled into a parking space, and ran to the elevator.

It was barely past six in the evening, and I knew that she was probably still in the tub. I quietly exited the elevator and when I didn’t see her, put down my purchases to head to the bathroom. I was confused when I didn’t find her there and headed for my bedroom. I opened the door to the bedroom and found her asleep in my bed. I was surprised to find she was asleep. She must not have made it to the bathroom at all as she still had on her work clothes. She had some clothes here, so I knew if she had been in the bath she would have something different on.

Sweet, tender, devoted love filled me as I slid carefully in beside of her, my clothes gone without hesitation. I pulled her gently into my arms to absorb the warm sleepy feel of her against me and sighed. The urge to sleep called to me but Evie…

Evie called to me more.

Her body wrapped around mine instinctively, with her right arm going over my chest as she snuggled into my muscular frame.

“Henry.” She whispered my name in her sleep, a soft snore followed.

I couldn’t help but smile as I cupped her breast in a palm that ached to be filled. I wanted to tease her awake, to give her a reason to smile.

The pad of my thumb flicked over her delicate nipple and she moaned in her sleep. Her hips pressed into mine and her leg slid over my hips.

I closed my eyes against the beautiful agony of her leg pressed into my cock. I tried not to thrust into the soft weight of her thigh.

I wanted to save all of pleasure for when I was inside of her, where it mattered.

“Henry.” She sighed my name once more and my control snapped.

I lifted her over me easily with strong arms and her legs spread to cradle me. I groaned as she trapped me in her wet heat.

She came awake slowly, confused, but then she smiled. Her hands spread on each side of my chest as her smile stretched into a smirk.

“Hey, baby.” Her small hands cradled my cheek before she leaned down to kiss me sleepily, her soft lips warm from sleep.

She worked her other hand down between us, until she grasped at my cock. The way she stroked me made me hiss a swear word. I couldn’t hold back much longer.

“Evie.” I nipped at her jaw lightly, before I recaptured her lips, to taste her. “Take me inside of you, princess. Make me yours.”

Her body jolted fully awake when it came down on top of me, and her eyes opened wide to stare at me beneath her.

“I’m not dreaming this.” She smiled a lazy smile before she quickly lost herself in riding my dick.

My favorite place to have her, on my dick and in my bed.
