Her eyes softened, and she leaned forward to give me a small kiss. “Oh, Nolan. You’re such a good man. I can’t see how you failed her.”
“Do you know why we got divorced?”
She shook her head.
“I wanted kids, and she kept pushing me off.”
She gave me a confused look and took a beat to respond. “That doesn’t mean you failed her, you just wanted different things, and that’s okay.”
I put a hand on her stomach. “It made me feel like a failure. It really hurt when you told me I didn’t want the baby and when you turned down my proposal. I don’t want to fail either of you.”
“Oh, Nolan. You won’t fail us. You’ve already done so much.”
She kissed my cheek and went back to grading papers.
I should have told her then that I loved her. I should have opened my big mouth and told her why I was doing all this stuff for her. I wanted to make her happy. When I first saw her crying in my brewery, Cupid struck an arrow in my heart. But I’ve never been a man who was good with his words.
I watched the hockey game, which was not enjoyable because our team sucked. The curse of being a Bulldogs fan. Avery was right; this wasn’t relaxing.
She was quiet on her end of the couch, so I thought she was busy doing her work until I felt a hand crawling up my thigh.
“Avs?” I asked, but she wasn’t looking at me. With one hand, she graded papers, while the other unzipped my jeans and dove into my boxers.
“Hmm?” she asked, feigning unawareness.
I nearly choked on my beer when her deft hand reached inside and pulled out my cock. Of course, I got hard as soon as her hand was near it. She stroked it and hummed to herself while she read through her papers.
“Avery,” I gasped.
She looked at me with fake shock. “What’s wrong?”
I glared at her and gestured down to my dick out in the open and her hand pumping up and down my shaft. “Um… care to explain what you’re doing?”
She gave me a wicked grin. “Helping you?”
“I don’t—” I cut myself off with a moan when she tossed her papers aside and leaned down to lick the bead of moisture off the head.
“Shush, baby. You take care of me so much, let me help you,” she said with a purr, like the little vixen she was. She moved onto her knees on the floor in front of me.
“I don’t want you to hurt the baby.”
She shook her head and bent her head to lick me from root to tip. “I’m good. Now shut up and let me suck your big cock.”
“Fuck baby…” I moaned.
She grinned up at me and took me into her mouth. She sucked and bobbed up and down, all the while holding the base of my shaft with her hand.
I ran a hand through her dark brown hair and bunched it up on top of her head, so I could watch her suck me off. “You’re a dirty girl, huh?”
She nodded and moaned on my cock, taking my cock as far back as she could. I groaned when she gagged on it and then pulled it out again. She licked along my shaft, getting it really wet again before taking me back down her throat.
I gripped her hair harder. This woman was such a goddess, and I fucking loved it. She pulled me out of her mouth but jacked me off with her hand. “Nolan.”
I looked down at her through lust-hooded eyes. “Baby…” I moaned. “Don’t stop.”
“Fuck my face,” she demanded.
“What?”
