“Our food was just delivered to our table,” she said breathlessly.
I looked over at our table and sure enough, our food was there.
“Let’s go eat,” I suggested, pulling out of her and turning slightly toward the wall so that I could quickly tuck myself back into my pants.
Out of the corner of my eye I watched her hastily slam her legs together and tug her dress down.
My hands at her hips, I helped her down from the step she was standing on and set her gently down on her high-heeled feet.
She tugged on my hand and pointed to the bathroom, but I pulled her back close.
“Nuh-uh,” I growled into her ear. “You get to sit like that until we’re at home, and you’re out of that fucking torture device of a dress.”
“But, Gable, I’ll make a mess.” She looked at me with a pleading look in her eyes.
“Leave it,” I urged.
She shivered against me but didn’t fight me any further.
When we got back to the table, she made sure to put the napkin down again, and I got a great view of my milky-white cum trailing down her inner thigh.
It was the single hottest thing I’d ever experienced.
Fuck, I was never going to let her go.
I don’t know what my talent is. Maybe eating.
—Athena’s secret thoughts
ATHENA
The night had been perfect.
The morning had shown me what life could be like with Gable Carter.
Him leaving at the ass crack of dawn wasn’t surprising.
He had to work.
But this time, it wasn’t because a woman had called and told him she was coming over.
It was possibly for the same reason, but the person doing the calling had been male.
After that call, he’d looked at me with worry in his eyes and said, “Don’t leave the house without one of my brothers giving you a ride, please. I have a feeling I know what this call is going to be about.”
“He’s out?” I guessed.
He closed his eyes, looking sick to his stomach. “Probably.”
“I have that blood work appointment. The one my mother made for me,” I admitted. “And then I have to be at work. I don’t plan on going anywhere exciting today.”
Though, I guess if I were being honest, I never went anywhere exciting.
He studied my face. “You haven’t talked about that at all.”
I’d been purposefully trying to suppress all of it.
The thought that my biological mother had died because of a genetic disease that might take me had been… scary.
It was easier for me to compartmentalize it all, and try not to freak out too badly.
I cupped his face. “I have been trying not to think about it, to be honest. I don’t feel sick. So it’s hard to think about being sick if I don’t feel sick.”
He studied my face, and it was only then that I saw the worry on his.
“I don’t plan on dying on you anytime soon,” I told him softly.
He smoothed my wild hair back from my face. “How long do you think they’ll take to get you the information?”
“The end of the day, they said, when I called to confirm the appointment time,” I said. “I’ll call you as soon as I hear something.”
He dropped his head to mine and his nose rested against my own for a few long seconds before he pulled away and reminded me, “Don’t leave without having one of my brothers with you.”
I gave him a thumbs up, which he liked, and he disappeared into the bathroom with a smile.
I listened to him get ready to go and thought about how loud men were when they peed.
And wow, their bladders were massive. I’d have been straight to the bathroom this morning, no passing go. There’d be no time to talk.
I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize he was once again standing over me until he was leaning down, both fists on the bed, to give me a kiss.
I opened my eyes just in time to see his mouth descending on mine.
I kissed him back when his lips met my own and threaded my arms around his neck for good measure.
He chuckled as he went to pull back and I didn’t let go.
“Gotta go, honey.” He tickled me, causing me to let go with a squeak.
“Hey!” I cried, giggling as I came to rest on his pillow.
His eyes were sparkling as he said, “Call me when you leave there, and then when you get to work, okay?”
“Will do, sir.”
His eyes were twinkling as he left, and since I was really awake, I headed to the bathroom to get ready for my day.
Quincy arrived with Hollis in tow an hour later, and the two of them went into the hospital with me as I had my blood drawn.
After getting confirmation that I would hear the results at the end of the day, I caught a ride with the two of them to work and began my day.
