always so good like this,” she panted, pushing back against him, clutching his leg and urging him to go further, deeper.
“You’re getting close, baby, I can feel it.”
“I am.” Destiny squealed into the pillow as wave after wave of exquisite pleasure flittered through her. She peaked as he joined her, growling deeply against the back of her neck, filling her with his essence.
Well, that answers that, she thought with a grin. She was filled with real happiness and hope for the first time in a long time. That didn’t mean she hadn’t been happy with Sophia and their life because she had, but there was always something missing. Could this be the missing piece? If he still didn't want her, he covered it well. She looked at the man beside her, naked and tangled in her satin sheets. “You’ve grown into a very good looking grown up,” she said with a grin, “with skills.”
He chuckled. “Should I take that as a compliment or are you telling me I’m old?”
“Thirty-one isn’t old,” she said.
“There have been times when I’ve felt about a hundred,” he said.
“So have I,” she admitted. “I think it was the lack of sex.”
“Were you serious then? You haven’t had sex with anyone else?”
“Never, you’re my one and only.”
“Wow, that’s really something. That’s a compliment I mean.”
“I guess it is, but I had Soph to look after, don’t get too much of a big head.” She gave him good natured shove.
“I doubt there’s much chance of that happening. Now, I hate to spoil the moment but we have important things we have to finish talking about. We got a little sidetracked.”
“If we must,” she said.
“I would like to tell Sophia and Lily-Grace; they should know that they’re sisters.”
That took her back a little. Talk about ruining the moment. It stood to reason, she guessed that he would want to tell Lily-Grace at some point, but it was so soon. She tried to soften what she was going to say by tracing circles down his arm with her finger tips. “Look, Justin, you can come and visit any time you like but I think we should take it slow. Sophia doesn’t know that you're her father, it may come as a shock. You can’t just jump in and change a little girl’s life like that overnight.”
“Of course not. We can tell her gently but I don’t want to leave it, Desi. I’ve been out of her life too long already. I don’t intend to leave a child fatherless,” he said. “Besides, I think she needs some help.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Destiny asked, pulling back her hand.
“It means exactly that. Her file shows that she is over precocious in some ways; she doesn’t play well with others and she doesn’t show respect for adults.”
“I hope just because you’re a principal you don’t think you’re going to turn our daughter into some kind of case study.” She was trying to keep the anger out of her voice but it wasn’t easy.
“Of course I’m not but I do want to help her. Kids need a good cop and a bad cop. They need boundaries. It makes them feel safe and secure. Even if they make a choice to do something against the rules, they know that there will be a consequence and know that consequence will make them feel safe.”
Destiny narrowed her eyes. “Are you trying to tell me that my daughter, who I might add has everything she could possibly need, doesn’t feel safe?”
“Of course not, it’s obvious that you love Sophia,” he said carefully.
“But! I definitely hear a but.”
“Okay, look I’m going to say it. There is a but, a big one. Sophia lives in a shaky world. You have tried so hard to be popular with her that you haven’t made any rules. All I’ve heard is what Sophia doesn’t like or what Sophia doesn’t want to do. Kids need a bedtime. Yes, they need to make choices but choices within boundaries set by the parents; such as choosing between cereal A and cereal B. They don’t get to decide that they’ll go to sleep at
