AIDEN

S parks go off in my head as I dip my tongue into Lana’s warm mouth. Back in my bedroom after a long talk with the police, we have all the answers to what happened at Jeremy’s school. It’s finally time to relax, and it feels good to tell my mother she can relax now, too.

“Fuck,” I growl as Lana slides her mouth down my torso. She doesn’t stop until she has her lips wrapping around the tip of my cock. Her tongue runs along the ridge before curving around the shaft and sucking me in slowly.

Her hair is soft against my hands as I palm the back of her head to guide her rhythm. She hums while sucking me off, and I can barely stand it. A few seconds in, and I’m already so close to the edge, it’s not even funny.

She saved me from ruining my life, and now I just want her by my side.

Lana increases her speed, sucking, slurping, and gagging to the point she releases me with a pop. She spits on the tip and goes back to working her mouth over it like it’s always belonged to her. Just when I’m about to explode, she stops and pulls away.

“Bring that pussy back here, Lana.”

She does as I tell her. With me sitting on the edge of my bed, she rubs my throbbing erection at her entrance. The slick fold of her sex takes me in effortlessly as she slides down on top of me. Her hips move back and forth, gyrating as she uses her thighs—her strong-ass thighs—to push herself up and down over my manhood.

Her inner walls squeeze my cock, and I throw my head back, swallowing hard and trying to get myself under control. With her straddling my cock, I slap her ass as she moves over me.

“Yes, do that again,” she says, panting and sucking in the air after I paddle her ass again with my hand.

I can’t stop myself from grabbing her cheeks with both hands, kneading them, and driving my cock in and out of her. I stop her from moving long enough to flip her onto her back and pound into that sweet pussy of hers until her whole body stiffens under me, and she shakes, gasping out my name.

I can’t look away. She looks glorious.

“That’s right, Lana. Come for me. Come all over me. This dick is yours. Use me.” I drag my tongue along her collarbone and lightly bite her shoulder.

She reaches up to grab my hair from behind, yanking my head back, and uses her other hand to grab my ass. She tries to pull me in deeper. I use my fists to anchor myself to the bed and give myself enough room to bring her to another orgasm.

Once I see she’s thoroughly satisfied, I stroke her walls until they milk my erection flaccid. Collapsing beside her, I pull Lana into my side, and we fall asleep in each other’s arms.

When I wake up a few hours later to the aroma of coffee and pancakes, I have to remind myself where I am. The spot beside me is cold, and I get out of bed, tossing on a pair of pajama pants to see where Lana is.

The scene I walk in on is something out of a movie. Jeremy is sitting on the kitchen counter picking out blueberries to drop them in the pancake batter. My mother is on the sofa with a blanket pulled up to her chin, and Lana is moving around the kitchen like she owns it. She looks good in my kitchen and my life.

“What is going on here?” I ask as the music plays softly, and Jeremy’s happiness wafts through the kitchen like the scent of maple syrup.

“We’re making pancakes, Dad. Nan said she needed to rest after the day we’ve had. We didn’t even go to the beach,” Jeremy says.

I nod, moving closer to him and Lana. “I’m sorry about that, bud. How about we go tomorrow? We can stay for the week.”

“Can Lana come with us too?” Jeremy asks. “She’s going to teach me how to kick a knee out.”

Laughter comes out of me at the idea of my little boy crippling an attacker. I tousle his hair, and he tosses a blueberry at me that I manage to catch and eat. Lana smiles, winks at me over her shoulder, and goes back to flipping pancakes.

“This is not what I had in mind when I asked you to be a consultant on my security measures.” I can’t stop myself from smiling.

“Oh?” Lana returns a similar grin. “What would you like to see happen, Aiden?”

“I’d like to see you marry me,” I tell her.

Lana stops and turns around to face me, her forehead scrunching. “You’re kidding.”

“Dad doesn’t kid,” Jeremy says for me.

I raise an eyebrow and smile. “It’s soon, but I know what I want. You don’t get to run a multi-billion-dollar company without taking risks and without knowing what you want. I want you, Lana. I want you to be more than a freelance security consultant. I want you to help me keep Jeremy safe. I want you to help me love again. You don’t have to say yes right now, but I want you to be a part of our family.”

“Are you going to be a part of our family, Lana?” Jeremy asks with so much joy that Lana’s smile matches his same energy.

She scoops him off the counter. “I’m going to be a part of your family. I’m going to help keep you safe and keep your dad out of trouble. My answer is yes.”

“To marrying me?” I ask her.

She giggles. “Yes, to marrying you and becoming a part of the Archer family. It won’t be right away, but I know I’m going to love you, boys.”

“Did you hear her, Dad? She loves us already. I’m going to go tell Nan.” Jeremy hops off the counter and sprints into the living room to tell my mother the good news.

While he tries his hardest to wake her, I wrap my arms around Lana’s waist. She continues to cook and pile up food so we can have breakfast for dinner, with a promise of discussing what the future holds for us.

“You’re dangerous, strong, and happen to hold my heart in your hands, Lana.” I kiss her temple and breathe her in. “I never would have thought that some maniac trying to kidnap my son would end with you stealing my heart. I know you may not believe in love at first sight?—”

She turns to me and loops her arms around my neck. “I don’t, but I believe in love at first fight. I feel everything you’re talking about and more, Aiden. I’ve never been more certain about loving you and Jeremy. I can’t wait to be your wife.”
