CHAPTER 54
ELIJAH
P en snuggles into my side as we watch reruns of The Office .
“Your mum called me this morning,” Pen says. “Apparently, the fundraiser raised more this year than ever before.”
I chuckle. “Nothing, of course, to do with The Foundation’s poster girl’s offering all those additional internships,” I reply, dropping a kiss on her head.
“Or the fact you then copied me and added some of your own.”
“Ah, I couldn’t be outdone by my girlfriend.”
Pen freezes in my arms, her head tilting so she can look me in the eyes. “Girlfriend, huh?” she says, her eyes twinkling as she stares at me.
I drop my lips to hers, my heart rate settling back to a normal rhythm.
“Well, if I was to give us a name,” I say.
Pen chuckles. “There are many names we could use to describe us, but girlfriend, I can get on board with.”
“Pleased to hear it, Ms Dawson.”
I take her lips with mine, deepening our kiss. She melts into my body. We fit together perfectly, and I can’t get enough of her.
“I love my daughter, but I’m glad we have the next week together.”
It’s been hard with Lottie around to find time for us. She’s accepted Pen and I are together, but we’ve been careful not to overstep. The last thing either of us want is for her to feel like she’s in the way, or gross her out.
But the thought of a week where I can have Pen in my arms and back in my bed whenever we want, has my breath quickening and my skin tingling at the thought of her not holding back as she comes around my cock.
“Did she get to Dani’s?” Pen asks, bringing me back down to earth.
“She did. She messaged me to say she’s arrived and Dani’s dad is taking them to the airport in the morning. I’m not sure why I couldn’t have taken her, but I’m trying my hardest to let her have some independence.”
I was disappointed when Lottie told me what she arranged. I wanted to see her off before she went to visit her mother for her birthday.
“She’s growing up fast. Don’t take it personally. I know Dani’s parents live close to the airport. It’s more like the girls will be up all night chatting and want a lie in.”
I pull Pen back against me. It helps to have a woman’s perspective. Especially one who knows my daughter so well.
“Pen, did my father know about your hacking?”
Pen freezes in my arms.
“What? Why?” she asks. “That’s a strange thing to ask me.”
I sense her trying to make her body relax, but her initial response tells me all I need to know.
She pulls away and sits up.
I turn to face her.
“Not really. I was thinking about how well you know Lottie, and it reminded me of something Mum said the other day.”
Pen drops her chin to her chest.
“What did she say?”
“That he was protecting us both.”
“She shouldn’t have said anything,” she says quietly.
“Why? Because he was involved?”
I hold my voice steady, as Pen’s breathing increases.
“God, No. Your dad helped me. Shit, ” she says, running a hand down her face. “Look, I made a promise a long time ago to never discuss this with you. Please, Elijah, don’t make me break that promise.”
I know how much Pen loved my father. The feeling was mutual. He had a lot of respect for her, too. She brought Gabriel out of his shell. Is super intelligent, has an excellent business brain for someone so young, or so he kept telling me and everyone else who would listen.
“Okay, I won’t push. But Pen. If Dad helped you, I’m glad. I’m certainly not angry.”
Pen looks at me as if weighing up my words.
I hold open my arms and draw her back into my side.
Dad was definitely involved, and I wish I could thank him for helping her.
I drop a kiss on her head, and she swivels, looking up at me. Her hand cups my cheek.
“All you need to know is he did what was best for both of us.”
I lower my mouth to hers and she opens for me instantly.
She pushes back and stands up.
I watch as she removes her clothes, one item at a time. Her eyes never leaving mine. When she’s finally naked before me, she straddles my hips, her legs spread wide over their breadth. Her lips find my neck, licking and sucking. I move my head to one side, allowing her access to the sensitive skin, my cock swelling between us.
Her hands slide under my t-shirt, and I pull it over my head. She works her way down my chest, her lips creating their own roadmap. When she draws one of my nipples into her mouth, my hips jerk.
She chuckles and continues to torment the other, rolling it between her finger and thumb.
“I think we need to lose the trousers.”
Her hands go to my belt, and she makes quick work of the button and zipper. I lift my hips, allowing her to slide them down along with my boxers.
“Beautiful,” she says, taking my cock in her hand and stroking it firmly. I drop my head back and watch as she lowers her mouth, her tongue teasing my slit. Pre-cum leaks out onto her tongue and she swallows it down.
“Pen, I will not last,” I say, dragging her off and up my body until her breasts are pressed against my chest.
“Is that so?” she says, her slick entrance finding my cock, riding it between her lips, she coats me in her juices, preparing us both.
She pulls up, my cock standing between us. She positions herself above me perfectly.
Her gaze locks on mine as she presses down, my cock breaching her entrance. She holds my gaze as I fill her up, her muscles contracting around me as I sink deeper and deeper into her silky depths.
“Fuck, Pen, I don’t think I’ll ever tire of this feeling. You’re perfect.”
She gives me a shy smile and rolls her hips. Her eyes open as she locks her lips on mine.
“I’m going to ride you until we’re both too tired to move,” she whispers.
I moan into her mouth.
“I need you and want you, Pen, more than I ever thought physically possible,” I say, pulling her more firmly against me, wanting to crawl into her skin.
It’s Pen’s turn to moan, her hips moving more frantically.
I become lightheaded as something shifts within my chest, something that tells me I’m never going to be the same.
My hands move to her hips as she glides up and down my cock. The only sound echoing around the room is the carnal sound of our bodies coming together.
I bite her bottom lip, sucking it into my mouth, eliciting a groan that causes her pussy to contract around me. I love how sensitive she is. How much I crave her.
She speeds up, her clit pressing against my pubic bone as she rolls her hips. I move my hand between us, my thumb finding her swollen bud of nerves.
She bites her lip, her head falling back as she rides me hard and fast. I pinch her clit as I know she likes.
“Now,” I say, watching as she shatters above me, her chest and cheeks flushed as her pussy strangles my cock.
I thrust several times more, before following her over the edge, loving the feel of my cum coating her insides, of her sensitive flesh swallowing mine.
I roll us sideways onto the sofa, our bodies still joined, our legs entangled.
“I…” I pause, the words sticking on my tongue.
My chest constricts. I’ve only ever uttered those words to Lottie and my family.
I place my forehead against hers. I close my eyes and draw in a breath.
When I open them, Pen is smiling up at me. A dazzling smile that sinks deep into my chest, locking itself in place, filling my heart with hope. I pull back and look down at her.
Pen places a finger on my lips.
I draw in a shuddering breath as I wrap my hand around the back of her neck, and pull her forward, my mouth finding hers, sealing our love with yet another kiss.
