Pulling back, I looked at her beautiful fucking face, her head thrown back as my fingers curled inside her. “Come for me, Nova. I want to taste you gushing on my tongue.”

With that, I sucked her clit firmly between my lips. She slapped both hands over her mouth and screamed her release into them. She slumped back against the wall, and I laid my cheek on her thigh.

There was a soft round of applause from outside the cubicle. “Holy shit, dude! I don’t know who you are, but I swear to fucking god, I nearly came from that. Well done.” The words were slurred, and moments later, the door opened and closed.

I looked up at Nova’s shocked face. Neither of us had heard anyone enter the bathrooms. “Whoops?”

Her lips twitched, and that turned into a giggle, then full-blown laughter. She pulled me up her body and kissed me, despite the fact I still had her release smeared across my face. Helping her off the bench—and onto those heels that made me have all sorts of bad thoughts—I held her steady until she got her land legs back. I tugged down her dress, but didn’t give her back her underwear. They bulged in my pocket, and I briefly considered framing them. They were amazing, and so was my girl.

I wanted to tell her I loved her right then and there. Wanted to tell her that I’d been lost without her, and that I wanted her back home, in my bed, in my life. I wanted us to be a family. But I held my tongue. The bathroom of a nightclub wasn’t the place for grand declarations of love—and honestly, we weren’t there yet. I wanted her to come back to us, get comfortable with us again. I didn’t want her to think of my love as some kind of shackle that I was trying to tie her to me with.

I ran my fingers along the crease of her bare ass, unable to resist pushing it up and cupping those cheeks again. God, I was addicted to this woman. Maybe I could make her come on my hand one more time before we left this cubicle?

The door opened and closed again, someone standing at the urinal taking a piss longer than that of a racehorse, and we both laughed silently until he left. Without washing his hands. Fuck, people were gross.

“Come on, baby. Let’s get the guys and go home. I have a few more things I want to do to show you just how much I fucking missed you.”

Her eyes got soft, and she leaned in to kiss me again. “Let’s go.”
