LOGINI can hardly believe it. Before my friends can say anything else, I squeal and throw my arms around them both, jumping up and down. Liam and Brian and the twins are the one major thing I’ve missed dearly since leaving Bo’Arrocan, and to find that they’re finally considering living in Ordan full time
“On schedule, believe it or not,” I reply. “The Bo’Arrocan branch is finally running smoothly, and the Ordan location just graduated its first class of seniors. Six of them got full scholarships to prestigious art schools.”“That’s amazing, Iris.” Alice squeezes my arm. “You’ve created something tru
IrisFive Years Later…“Fifty years of marriage, and they still make each other laugh like that,” Arthur says, appearing at my side with two glasses of champagne. He hands me one and clinks his against it, and we watch as my parents twirl on the lawn, my mom throwing her head back at something my fa
“Gee. Thanks,” I manage to laugh weakly. “I’ll see you all next week.”“You most certainly will not,” Arthur, Hunter, and Alice all say in unison, making me roll my eyes.Outside, Arthur’s car is waiting, parked haphazardly half on the curb. He must have driven like a maniac to get here so quickly f

Caleb gets in and pulls away from the curb, shaking his head. “That was… impressive.”“Thanks,” I say, my hands trembling slightly in my lap now that we’re safely in the car. “I think I kind of blacked out for a minute there.”“Well, whatever you did, it worked.” He glances at me with newfound respe
IrisThe alarm blares at 5:30 AM, and I groan, slapping at my phone to shut it off. Arthur stirs beside me, one arm still draped possessively across my waist.“Already?” he mumbles, burying his face in my hair.I yawn as I gently try to pull myself from his grip. “Caleb will be here in an hour.”Tod
He doesn’t need to be told twice. With one smooth thrust, his cock is fully seated inside of me, stretching me from all angles. I moan at the sensation, clinging to him as he begins to move. The water adds more friction than lubrication, but that added pressure just makes the feeling even more exqui
IrisWith my hands on his chest, Arthur gently backs me against the bathroom sink. He lifts me slightly so I’m sitting on the edge of the cool porcelain. I wrap my legs around him instinctively, pulling him closer as his mouth trails down my neck.“Are you sure you want this?” he murmurs against my
