Eyes wide with innocence, she nodded.
I held my stern expression and pretended to consider it. “Strawberry?”
“’Nilla,” she whispered.
I grinned. “Done.”
She clapped her hands together.
“Let’s check the waves, baby girl.” I scooped Maddie up and walked to the wall of windows looking out over the ocean that were twice as large as my old house. I counted sets for a minute as Maddie quietly rested her head on my chest.
“It’s lookin’ good today.” I pointed. “Smooth and glassy, clean breaks goin’ in one direction. You see that, baby? Nothin’ stopping that break on the top of that wave, it peeled straight. Looks like we got a nice offshore wind. What kinda day does that mean?” I’d been teaching her about the waves since the first time I took her to the beach.
“Beach.” She snuggled into me.
I rubbed my hand across her small back and contentment settled deep in my bones. “That’s my smart girl.” Smiling, I kissed the top of her head. “But first, sweetness, let’s go find Mama.”
I loved the new house. It was a giant picture frame of glass for the ocean. Even the hallway leading from the master suite to the open-plan kitchen and living room was a wall of windows. Neil and I hadn’t done much to house except convert part of the four-car garage into a workshop so I could make boards.
The smell of coffee and something sweet baking hit us before we stepped into the kitchen. With her back to us, Siren stood at the counter. Her long blonde hair loose, in tight little shorts and a tank top, she took my breath away.
“Now that’s a gorgeous sight.” I grinned.
Siren looked over her shoulder smiled shyly. “Good morning.”
“Good mornin’, beautiful. What smells so good?”
“Your birthday cake. Don’t forget everyone’s coming around three. I’ll need a few extra chairs from the garage to go on the deck.”
I’d told her I didn’t want a fuss over my birthday so she’d gone behind my back and invited everyone for a barbeque for the day before my actual birthday. I gave her shit but I loved her for it. “Everyone comin’?” I asked casually. I hadn’t seen Blaze since he and Layna got back from Europe.
“Yes, Blaze and Layna are coming.”
Damn. “Is that what I was askin’? You think you know me?” I teased.
She put down the spoon she was using and turned around. “Only what you tell me.” Innocent, pure, she was so beautifully honest.
She was also observant as hell, not to mention sexy as fuck. “Should I tell ya what I’m thinkin’ right now?” She’d left our bed way too early this morning.
Desire swirled in her eyes. “Okay.”
I swung Maddie to my hip and grabbed Siren by the jaw. Leaning to her ear, I nipped the sensitive flesh of her neck and whispered, “I might be holdin’ our gorgeous daughter but I’m havin’ impure thoughts about sinkin’ inside that tight heat of yours and losin’ myself. You left me hangin’ this mornin’.”
“I needed to—”
“I know what you need.” I slipped a hand down, cupped her over her shorts, and rubbed my thumb in a tight circle.
Siren moaned and leaned into my touch.
“Feel that, darlin’?” I pushed my hips against hers and gave her a slow grind. “Come nap time, you’re mine.”
Her head fell back and she gripped the counter behind her. “Talon.”
Hearing my name like a breathless plea on her lips made a smile spread across my face. I set Maddie on her feet. “Baby girl, go get Bunny and wait for Daddy on the couch while I make your smoothie. You remember how to turn the TV on?”
Big blue eyes looked up at me and Maddie nodded with the seriousness of a toddler.
I kissed the top of her head. “Good girl.” She ran off.
I stood and pushed my hand into Siren’s shorts and slipped my fingers into her tight pussy. Already wet for me, my blood surged south and my dick throbbed painfully. Growling, I gripped a handful of her hair and brought my lips to hers. She smelled like sugar and my woman. “You’re gonna come hard and fast right now then I’m gonna fuck the shit out of you later.”
“Okay,” she panted, grinding into my hand.
I drove my tongue into her mouth and fucking devoured her. My fingers curling deep inside her, my thumb hard on her clit, I kissed her like I was starving.
The kitchen exploded with the soundtrack of a princess movie coming out of the ceiling speakers.
I broke the kiss and hollered over the noise, “Madeleine Talerco. Did I say turn the stereo on?”
The sound muted and giggles cascaded out of the living room. “Daddy!”
