Our gazes locked in the mirror. I saw her fears and wanted to erase them. She licked her lips, clearly trying to gather her wits, but I wasn’t making it easy for her. I began moving my hips lightly back and forth, and the feel of her ass against my pubic bone was maddening.
“Val,” I beckoned, continuing the slow torture.
“I promise. I promise.”
I pulled back a little, flipping her around the next second, slipping my hands under her ass, lifting her up. My cock was pressed between us, rubbing her clit. She whimpered as I carried her to the bed. I’d barely lowered her onto the mattress when I slid inside her, giving her every inch. Her thighs shook, her breath caught in her throat.
“Oh, fuck,” I groaned.
My rhythm was hard and relentless, and she was coming apart fast. When her inner muscles started to pulse, I slowed the rhythm, bringing her down from the cusp.
She cried in frustration, moving her own hips faster—until I placed one hand on her pelvis, pressing her against the mattress.
“I’ll make you come, love. I promise.”
The message was clear. I was going to do it on my own terms, and she had no choice but to surrender her pleasure to me. I was completely still inside her as I strummed my fingers over her clit, bending to take a nipple in my mouth.
“Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, Carter.”
Tension started spreading from the points where we were connected, slinking through my entire body. I’d never felt an orgasm form so slowly. All my muscles tightened, and when I kissed her to cover her cry of pleasure, I gave in to my own climax.

Chapter Twenty-Eight
Carter
The weeks leading up to the trial were brutal. I was on autopilot most of the time, except when it came to preparing Val’s case. The night before the trial, I only rose from my chair at three o’clock in the morning.
Val wasn’t in bed, so I went to check the living room, thinking she’d fallen asleep there. I discovered her in Peyton’s bed. My young niece was cocooned against Val, who had laid an arm protectively over her. They looked so sweet and peaceful together. The sight almost brought me to my knees. I wanted to have the privilege of this sight every single night. I’d never wanted anything more.
I took Val in my arms, and she stirred, laying her head on my shoulder.
“I fell asleep in Peyton’s bed.”
“I know. I’m taking you to ours. You smell like nutmeg.”
“Mmm... the girls and I found a cake recipe and decided to test it. What time is it?”
“Three o’clock.”
