Picture Perfect

the shortest tour they’ve ever done, but it never hurts any less when they leave.”
    Wrapping my arms around her, I kissed her cheek. “I can’t imagine how hard it’s been to have had to do this time and again for the last ten years, but you’re right, this is the shortest tour they’ve ever done. It will be over quickly and they’ll be back before you know it.”
    Pulling back, Sylvia looked at me. “You’ll all be back sugarplum, not just my boys.”
    How I wanted that to be true, but my future with Flynn was uncertain at best. We felt rock solid now… but four months from today, who knew what would have happened.
    “Well, no matter what happens with Flynn and me, I’ll see you at the final show of the tour. That’s something to look forward to.”
    As she stepped away from me Sylvia waved her hand in front of my face. “Hello, Tessa? Earth is calling dear. You need to stop planning for the worst. You’re Flynn’s other half sugarplum, and you aren’t going anywhere, that much I can promise you.”
    I gave a smile that I hoped she interpreted as encouraging. I could only pray that she was right, because I knew there would be no coming back from the feelings that I had for Flynn. He rooted himself deeper in my soul by the hour and I knew that if it ever came down to it, I wouldn’t be able to walk away with my heart intact.
    As the night wound down Dante and Sabrina invited us all over to their home the following evening for Sunday dinner. Apparently it was a tradition in their family, and it was a good indicator of where things were going that they wanted to include the Rand’s in that group.
    Once everyone had gone, Flynn and I cleaned everything up before heading to his bedroom to shower. Our end of the day ritual of showering together had become a highlight for me, and for him as well, judging by how eager he was to get there each day.

Chapter Thirty-One

    Being in the shower and having free reign to soap and caress Tessa’s body had easily become one of my favorite activities. There’s an intimacy between us that surpassed any expectation I’d had about what a relationship could or would be, and I treasure that. I now understood what the words, “with my body I thee worship,” meant.
    It’s funny how one person can change your entire life, shifting your paradigm in a nanosecond. When Tessa had been in LA the first time, I had known that we were headed somewhere amazing. But when she’d shut me down and changed her phone number, the panic I’d experienced made me realize that I was falling in love with her. Since then, I’ve only fallen deeper. Seeing how overjoyed my sister and her fiancée are about her pregnancy touched me on a very deep level. I’ve always wanted children, but I never thought I’d meet someone I’d want to share the responsibility of parenting with. Now that I’ve recognized Tess as the woman that I want to create a family with, my feelings for her are even more intense.
    My thoughts were derailed as her hands glided up my torso. Looking down into her eyes, I felt my heart skip a beat. Gone was the girl who had mistakenly thought that she was frigid. In her place was a woman who was discovering her body in a new way and who liked what she was finding. Tessa took great delight in exploring my body, puffing up with pride when she got the responses out of me that she wanted. I was open to all of her explorations, delighted by her appetite for me since it matched mine for her. We were insatiable for one another and it showed.
    I groaned as she turned and bent forward so that her sexy ass was plastered to me before she gave a little wiggle. “Jesus babe, you’re crazy fucking sexy.”
    Fisting my cock, I rubbed the tip up and down in her folds. She moaned and arched her back, looking over her shoulder at me with smoldering eyes. “Give me your cock honey, don’t make me wait.”
    She should’ve known that I wouldn’t go fast, and I tsk-tsked her as I slid the tip in slowly before pulling out equally as slow. “Babe, you should know by now that I’m not going to fuck you after ten seconds of foreplay.”
    “Foreplay was sitting next to you for hours thinking about how badly I needed you inside of me. I was a good girl, don’t I deserve a reward?”
    She moaned and tried to wiggle as I slid the tip back in and slowly retreated again. “Don’t you fucking wiggle babe. You’re going to get a fuckin’ reward, believe you me, but you’re going to get
