She leaned forward and kissed him tenderly, licking and teasing at his lips and then finally settling into to a slow, deep kiss that grew sweeter with the emotion that made her throat ache. His hands were gentle in her tangled hair as he stroked and caressed her.
She laid her head down on his chest and said, “I love you, too. I love you both so much.”
“I’m sorry our morning didn’t go the way I planned.”
“Morning? How about the whole day? Well, the second half wasn’t too bad, actually.”
Ace’s chuckle rumbled deeply under her ear. “So I heard from Kemp. And tonight?”
“I discovered that I love being chased…and spanked.”
She giggled as he squeezed and massaged her ass cheeks with both hands and said, “They’re still nice and warm.”
“Mmm. That feels so good,” she murmured against his chest.
He chuckled again and said, “I love when you make purring, whispering sounds like that.” He squeezed her ass cheeks one more time and kissed the top of her head as she sighed happily.
“Kemp said Kathleen will resettle in Divine and that I will have a chance to get to know her. Will that make you uncomfortable?”
“Not if you’re okay with it. I don’t want there to be any tension between the two of you.”
“There won’t be on my end. I feel for her after hearing what happened. She made the best choice she could in a difficult situation. I would be miserable and lost without the two of you in my life.”
“I think she’ll be okay. She knew there was the distinct possibility that we would find someone new. If she’d asked me to wait I would have, but she didn’t and I don’t know why. She was sorry for interrupting our morning and that her sudden appearance upset you. We were her first stop after returning last night. Otherwise I think she would have known, if she’d checked in with Rosemary or Grace or one of the others first.”
“It’s behind us now.”
“Yeah.”
He stroked her back until she purred some more for him, and when she noticed he was hard again, she straddled his hips and slid down until his cockhead was lodged in her pussy, which was tingling and burning with need for him again.
“Kitten, you sure you feel up to another round?”
Summer swirled her hips and took another few inches of him inside her and replied, “I don’t know. How do you think I feel?”
Ace groaned and said, “Hot, wet, and tight.” He held her hips and thrust against her, giving her more of him with each movement. When she had all of him, she sat up and ground in a circular motion.
Ace smiled and arched his back as he muttered, “Damn, you feel so good.” His face was a portrait of handsome, male pleasure. She braced her hand on his pectoral and fingered her clit as he thrust against her.
“That’s right, kitten. Touch yourself for me. Show me how you like it.”
She leaned back a little for balance as she showed him exactly how she liked to be touched, riding him into another searing-hot orgasm. He caught her as she fell forward and rolled her over with him still lodged, hot and hard, inside of her.
She lifted her knees and said, “Fuck me, Ace. Hold on tight and fuck me hard.”
He grasped her hips and did just that, fucking her until they both came a second, blissful time. He rolled them so she was once again on top of him, and she sighed in contentment at the feel of him all over her, even still inside her. Her thighs were opened and entangled with his. If anyone walked up they would clearly be able to see that she and Ace were still joined together.
“Can we stay like this for a while?”
“If you’re comfortable, sure. Do you like it?”
“I love it.” It was an unspeakably tender, intimate position. She was completely vulnerable and open to him, fully trusting him and her instincts to be with these two men. Nothing had ever felt so right in her life.

Ace felt like his body was melting into the firm foam mattress beneath him. He was satisfied sexually but knew the feeling went so much deeper than that. Today had been an emotional roller coaster for all of them. The case had come to a violent head, thankfully with no permanent damage. They’d all had one major emotional upheaval after another. But it had all righted itself in the end. Opening the front door and seeing Kathleen had been tremendously painful. To see the person he’d longed for, for months on end, finally standing there and then to watch as she realized she was just…too late. It didn’t sit well with him to deal out pain to Kathleen. The only thing she was truly guilty of was compassion for an old lover and wanting to protect him and Kemp.
