I throwhome to Dee as quickly as I can

"Hey, you," she whispers when I walk up the two steps leading into the house She brings her arhtly

"Hey you, back Are you okay?"

She pulls back and nods "I’m fine, just worried about Chelcie but I’irl What tio offrom h the rabs e As I sit down at the table, I reach over and pull her into ht now, not until I can cal to leave soon I talked to her about fifteen oing to take her anywhere frouess soot directions to the house She knows to call at any ti for her"

"How is she holding together?" I’ that drive by herself, but I know she’s much safer here than she’ll be up there where no one can protect her

"Let’s try and focus on the positive here, okay? You’re safe, Chelcie is safe, and there is no way in hell soets here, we can take a look at things and see just what he sent to her For now, let me enjoy your sweet ass in my lap"

She shs and I savor every second of it

"Beck Beck, wake up"

When Dee’s soft breath and lohispers wake me up from one of the hottest dreams ever, I immediately reach over and pull her closer Her naked body rubbing againstinside of ht now"
