Once our food is ready, we sit on the couch and eat. Everleigh puts on another episode from Only Murders in the Building, and I contemplate how I’m going to tell her about the text message and picture I got today.

“This show just gets crazier and crazier,” she says when it ends. “Also, that was the best steak and potatoes I’ve ever had.” Everleigh smiles, wrapping her arm around me and colliding her lips to mine. “Thank you.”

“I need to tell you something.”

She straightens, and that wrinkle between her brows appears. I hate making her worry, but I promised not to keep any secrets from her, good and bad.

“What is it?”

After a moment, I explain what I got from the unknown number. Then I show her the screenshot I saved, and she mutters a few curse words.

“Now that you’ve given me a description of her, if she comes near me, I’m using my Taser.”

“Babe, you can’t just tase anyone with jet-black hair.”

“Tase first, ask questions later,” she counters.

I chuckle, pulling her onto my lap. “She’s just trying to intimidate and piss me off, but all it does is bring us closer.”

“So what you’re saying is, orgasms are the way to get revenge.” She pops a brow, rocking her body against mine.

“That’s exactly right.” I lift my hips and push my bulge into her.

Everleigh moans as she grinds into me, then slowly slides off. I give her a look and ask what she’s doing.

“I got a little surprise for you today…” She pulls a small container out of her pocket and pops it open.

“What is that?” I ask hesitantly.

She flashes a wicked grin, then slips something onto her tongue.

“Everleigh…”

She reaches for my zipper and pulls out my cock. I lose all train of thought as she steadily strokes me. Lounging back on the couch, I give her all the access she needs and groan when she slides her tongue around the tip.

“Fuck, baby. That feels so—”

Everleigh wraps her mouth around me, and a gush of cool air hits me.

“Holy shit.”

Everleigh continues, stroking and lightly sucking. “You like it?”

“I’m…conflicted. What did you just eat?”

“A Listerine strip. When I researched it, they suggested letting it dissolve all the way first and then sucking you off.”

“I’m sorry, but did you say you researched it? Where?”

She smirks and shrugs. “Reddit.”

I chuckle as she resumes her delicious assault on my dick. As I fist a hand in her hair, the intensity builds, and another guttural groan escapes me. The cool air feels strange yet pleasurable, and I kinda like it.

“Shit. You do that so well,” I hiss through my teeth. Everleigh sucks me deep and releases with a pop before swirling her tongue along the tip. “I’m so close, baby. Remove your shirt,” I demand.
