CHAPTER 7

SIENNA

It’s been a few weeks since Griffin and Callie met and it’s becoming harder to keep some separation in our lives. If I were honest with myself about what I want, I would be with him all the time. I have a feeling Callie feels the same way, but she isn’t pushing me about it. We spend a lot of time with Griffin, but tonight is one of the rare nights that I’m not working, and we didn’t have dinner together.

Griffin has been trying not to push me and scare me by moving too fast, but I think I need a little shove. Everything is great and while things have moved quickly, I know in my heart that being with him is right. I can’t explain it and if you had told me a few months ago I would be feeling this way then I would have called bullshit. As it is, I know this relationship is the real deal, and I don’t gain anything by going slow.

Well, except for lost time.

Time we could spend together as a family. Time I could watch the way Griffin dotes on my daughter. Time with his arms wrapped around me.

I don’t want to waste that time. I crave being with him and my gut tells me it isn’t going to change any time soon.

Callie has been asleep for a few hours, but I was restless and was trying to watch something in the living room. It’s no use, though, because I can’t seem to focus on anything. There’s this throbbing feeling in my soul that wants Griffin. It’s not going away, but I can’t really do anything about it either.

I’m stuck.

I stand up and stretch, preparing to go and pretend to get some sleep, when there’s a soft knock on the front door. It’s late and I’m certainly not expecting anyone, which has me approaching the door cautiously. When I look out the half circle window, I’m surprised and thrilled to see Griffin standing on my small porch as he roughly pushes a hand through his hair.

As I swing the door open, I launch myself at him and he catches me with ease. His chuckle is low and filled with amused relief. I can’t help myself and cling to him, loving how my body molds against his. He’s all hard planes of muscle and I’m softer, but it doesn’t matter because we fit.

We fit.

“I missed you,” I mumble against his neck where I’ve buried my head.

He holds me against his chest with one hand under my ass while the other runs up and down my back, soothing the restlessness in me while also igniting my need for him. While we’ve spent a lot of time together and Callie has stayed with my parents a few nights when I’ve gone out with Griffin, he hasn’t stayed over when Callie has been home.

I don’t think this is sustainable. I need him too much.

He must know it too because he starts to kiss my neck. “Do you need something, Starshine?”

“You.” I tighten my hold on my man. “I need you.”

“Can’t have you all needy and achy,” his voice is husky, sending a delicious thrill through my body.

Griffin doesn’t let me go as he walks through the front door, closing it and making sure it’s locked behind him before he starts to walk through the house toward my room. My pussy is already wet, and my nipples are so hard that I’m sure he can feel them pressing against his chest.

His voice is hesitant, like he doesn’t want to ask or know the answer, but has to, “Are you sure this is okay? With Callie home?” I pull back a little so I can look up into his eyes, which are filled with concern. “I really came over because I needed to see you and hold you, if only for a few minutes.”

I run my fingers through Griffin’s hair, which is loose tonight and hanging around his face. I close almost all the distance between us, my lips barely touching his as I plead, “Stay. Please, stay. I want you here.”

That’s all my man needs to hear. He walks through the door to my bedroom and gently closes the door behind us as I press my lips to his, everything relaxing as I kiss him. I didn’t even realize how wound up I was. Probably because I was trying to ignore it.

I was trying to stay strong, just like I’ve had to be for years. Maybe I don’t have to be quite as strong. I can lean on Griffin and let him take some of my stress, some of my burden. I’ll never regret Callie, she’s my life, but that doesn’t mean life was easy. Far from it.

Now I have a chance for something more and Callie will benefit from it. I know it deep in my soul.

Griffin turns and lays me down on the bed, one of his hands running up underneath the tank top I have on until he gets to my breast. He squeezes my flesh before plucking my nipple, as if it wasn’t already hard and begging for his touch.

I reach down and tug at the hem of the henley he has on, needing it off so I can touch him properly. His skin is always so warm. When it seeps into me, it makes me feel like I’m touching the sun. Maybe I am.

“Starshine,” he groans as he shifts, lifting off me and reaching back to pull his henley off and dropping it to the floor. His eyes are hooded as he looks down at me. I reach for my clothes, wanting both of us naked, but with a shake of his head he holds me captive. “You’re so beautiful and I’m going to undress you and then myself. I’m going to do it slowly so by the time we’re both naked you’ll be begging for my cock.”

His words are almost too much for me to handle. Then his hands ghost over my skin, leaving trails of fire behind them as he follows through with his words. It feels like he pushes my tank top off one millimeter every minute and it is pure fucking torture.

I can’t do anything other than lean into the feeling, letting the lust he makes me feel course through my veins. My pussy is throbbing by the time we’re both naked. There’s a feral hunger in his dark eyes as he looks down at me.

When he leans down and starts to kiss and lick up my legs, I cry out, my back arching. I swear I’m right on the edge from the slightest of touches because I need him so much. Everything in me is screaming for him to take me. To claim me.
