I walk over to Melissa, gently pull her into my arms, and…
““I walk over to Melissa, gently pull her into my arms, and hold her close. I can feel my girls rolling around in her belly when she presses closer. “Hey, you,” she says, her lips a breath away from mine, just begging for me to close the distance. “Hey back.” I pull her close and savor the taste of her on my tongue. I feel her lips tip up, and her moan tingles against my lips. Yeah, my girl missed me today. “Maybe, just a wild guess here, but maybe those two will remember we aren’t in their bedroom, the porn music isn’t playing on a loop, and it probably isn’t the wisest move to start molesting each other in the family restaurant?” I break away from Melissa’s lips, licking my own when I see the fire burning bright in her eyes. “Shut up, Ash,” I growl and give my wife one more chaste kiss before helping her take her seat again. “’Shut up, Ash,’ he says. No, ‘thank you, Ash, for reminding me that I can’t drive the boat into the canal in the middle of family dinner’?””
