Every part of my body feels like it’s on fire when he slips two more

fingers into my underwear. Then, when his entire hand makes the move, I’m

a goner. I release a trembling breath and grip the sheet at my sides, arching

my back and my hips up and against his hand.

He brings his mouth to mine, but he doesn’t kiss me. He remains close to

my lips, using the movement of my hips and the sounds of my moans to

guide him toward the finish.

He’s extremely intuitive. It doesn’t take me long at all before I’m tensing

When it’s over, he slides his hand out of my panties but then cups me

It kind of killed the mood. “Are you leaving?”

“Of course not.” He kisses me and then leaves the room as if it’s

completely normal for a man to make out with a woman who is breastfeeding

a baby that isn’t even his. It has to be at least a little awkward for him, but he

covers it well.

I spend the next several minutes in the bathroom pumping, and then I take

a quick ten-second shower. I throw on an oversized T-shirt and some pajama

shorts before heading back into my living room.

Atlas is sitting on my couch, waiting patiently with his phone in his hand.
