“I’m going.” I wave him off and make my way to the parking lot. I’m thankful as hell the doctor is allowing me to drive as long as I don’t take the pain relievers he sent me home with. There’s no way I’m be taking them. The pain is there, but not enough for me to self-medicate.

“Hey, baby.” I’m barely inside my Tahoe when my cell goes off and I see it’s Faith.

“Graham, please tell me you’re on your way home to me.” Her voice is soft and sweet. My eyes go to the clock on my dash, noticing the time.

“I wish I were. Got something I need to do, then I’ll be there. Unless you need me sooner?”

“I’m fine, just worried about you. Didn’t the doctor tell you rest is the best cure?” she comes back at me with.

“Yep, and as soon as I get to you, I’ll be doing exactly that. Logan asleep?” I click my seatbelt on, start up the Tahoe, and head to my place. After Logan willingly accepted me into their world, I want to do this right for all of us.

“Oh yeah, he passed out the minute his head hit the pillow. There was no need for me to read to him tonight, so now I’m in bed, and I have to admit it really does suck when you aren’t in here with me.”

“Fuck, Faith, I’ll be there in less than an hour. You fall asleep, I’ll wake you up the way you like me to so much.” The thought of Faith’s body beneath mine, her pussy clenching around my cock, breathless from me fucking her, it’s enough to make me hard.

“Promise?” she asks.

“I promise. Get some rest. It won’t be long until I’m making you mine.” We end the call. The adrenaline that was receding is back in full force at the thought of taking Faith, this time as my future wife, is all I need to keep me going.

Faith

“Graham.” His hands engulf my breasts from behind, his naked body surrounding my barely-clothed one. I hated leaving him while he was stuck going back to work. Seriously, if I could have stomped my foot and thrown a temper tantrum, insisting that he needed to come home, I would have. That’s not what a Sheriff’s woman does, though, she stands beside her man even if she doesn’t agree, and when he comes home after a long-as-heck day, she takes care of him in any way possible. It’s the same thing Graham has done for me throughout our relationship. That’s why once Logan passed out, I took a shower. It was the kind where you cry rivers of tears, then wash your hair, your whole body, shave, and moisturize. I wanted to be as close to Graham as possible, and that’s why instead of going after a pair of old, comfortable pajamas, I opted for one of his Cherry Falls Police Department tee shirts with nothing on underneath.

“I’m home, baby.” His cock is wedged between the cheeks of my ass while he’s working my nipples, mouth working its way from behind my ear down to my throat.

“Finally.” I arch my ass further back, practically begging for him to fuck me.

“You need my cock, Faith?” he asks, already knowing the answer.

“Yes, but are you okay? I don’t want to hurt you.” Graham sits up in bed, flips on the bedside light, then moves me so my back is to his front still.

“I’m more than okay, and nothing is stopping me from taking my woman tonight. We owe each other a few words. By the time I slide inside you, I’m going to say them and hear you say them back to me, isn’t that right?” By the time I’m coherent enough to understand what he’s saying, I’m on my hands and knees, back arched, feeling Graham’s words slide over my back as licking a path until he’s reaches the base of my spine.

“Hmm,” I murmur, my head dropping, my legs spreading open more, dying for anything of his to touch me.

“You’re not getting my mouth on your pussy until you understand my words. Are you with me now, Faith?” He bites the globe of my ass, his hands spreading me open at the same time.

“Yes,” I groan. “You already know the way I feel about you.” It feels like his body is completely surrounding me, even though I know for a fact he’s on his knees behind me, mouth at the ready to taste me.

“That’s right. Right now, I’m going to taste you. After that, I’m going to fuck you. Then, by the time tonight is over, you’ll never have a doubt about how I feel about you, Faith.” Those are his last words. A hiss escapes me as I feel him lick me from front to back, teasing me lightly with just the tip of his tongue. My body is beyond needy and greedy for what Graham is about to give me, and if he does that thing with my back entrance like he’s done in the past, there’s no way I’ll be able to hold back my screams.
