For more than a year, all he wore was fatigues and tutus. Interesting combination for sure. But he recently transitioned to a new look that he calls his jean tuxedo. It’s literally a jean jacket buttoned all the way up, washed-out denim pants, white sneakers, and his aviators. The boy also likes to wear shiny jewelry.
“I haven’t touched you in 461 days. Please get the fuck over here and let me hold you.”
Breathing deep, I close my eyes and listen to his heart beat out a rhythm that matches mine.

Yes, I’m fucking jealous. I’m jealous of anyone who gets to spend time with you. I’m jealous of my own goddamn sister because she gets to see your beautiful face every damn day.

Everything she needs. Just me. The idea—that I could ever be enough for someone—slices through me.
For weeks I’ve been here every step of the way. Not because I’m your nanny, but because I’m your person. I’m your person, and you’re mine. Please stop punishing me and touch me. Kiss me. Because the only person I ache for is you.”
“You feel so fucking good, Peaches. Squeeze me, baby. Soak my cock and show me you’re all mine.”
