"Danny, we gotta roll!" Kyle yelled up the stairs.
Danny came jogging down in the finest suit he had ever worn, jacket in one hand, his untied tie in the other. His hair was pulled up into a bun both neatly and haphazardly, a look Danny had perfected over the years. He looked chic and sophisticated. Jo's jaw dropped.
"Whoa—" Jo couldn't hide her reaction even if she tried.
"I can tie a tie but I don't have enough time—" Danny hoped that someone else knew how.
Kyle jumped right in, flipped Danny's collar up and got to work, the two of them dressed up for the first trial.
"I can't believe you stole the suits back that Gloria gave me."
"I didn't steal them, they were given to you as a gift. I just returned them to their rightful owner." Kyle clarified.
"Thank you." Danny said gratefully.
"Speaking of stealing, I found empty wine bottles in the bottom of the trash bin last night. Know anything about that?" Kyle asked casually, his eyes darting up to Danny's and back down to the tie as he twisted it around.
Danny licked his lips, "Yes, sir." Shit, he thought to himself.
"So that was two empty bottles and I believe Lacey drove herself home last night, is that right?"
"She was okay to drive. I'm sorry—"
"No, no, we're not going backward here. I don't want an apology, I need you to get it. You've come so far, why would you do this now? This was so disrespectful."
"The last thing I want to do, Chief, is disappoint you. I am sorry—"
"It's the last thing you want to do, but it is the first thing that you did. Sorry doesn't fix it, not for me." Kyle refused Danny's apology for a second time.
"What can I do to fix it?"
Kyle shook his head, "Respect is earned. You're back to zero with me now."
Kyle stepped back to survey his work, "Okay, tie's pretty good."
Danny's slunk over to the mirror like a dog who just got caught ripping up a pillow. He tried to stay focused on the trial but he felt like a total asshole.
"Listen, Danny, you'll need to find another place to stay for the week."
"Dad, I gave the wine to him." Jo confessed bravely, "Danny didn't take it."
"Jo, this is on me. It's fine—" Danny tried to mediate.
"I'll bring you back to collect your things after court today."
"Yes, sir." Danny replied and shifted his suit coat from one hand to the other nervously, "Where's Tess?" He wondered out loud, trying to change the subject.
Jo just shrugged.
"She slept at her place last night." Kyle answered.
"Oh." Danny took a deep breath and tried not to stick his nose anywhere else it didn't belong.
"Did you guys eat?" Kyle pointed to them.
"No." Danny cringed, pissed at himself for sleeping too late, but good wine, blowing his load and not having to sleep on an air mattress really made for a peaceful night's rest.
"Okay, take these—" Kyle rummaged around, pulled out some protein bars and shoved them in their hands.
"Thank you." Danny offered sincerely, for the food, the knot in his tie and for all of the life lessons.
"C'mon, let's go."
Kyle drove Danny and Jo over to the courthouse in his cruiser. Danny being in the back made him feel awful. He tried to ignore the memories of the times he was arrested and focus on the shitty protein bar he stuffed in his mouth instead.
The courthouse was mobbed. Press from all over were set up outside and there were people standing everywhere, waiting to catch a glimpse of the players in this ridiculous drug saga that rocked their small town. Danny and The Mastersons pulling up in a cop car did nothing to pull attention away from them.
"No comment, understand?" Kyle asked and looked between Jo and Danny until he saw their heads nod, "Easy peasy. No comment."
Danny slid out of the backseat and threaded his arms through his suit jacket, shaking them out once or twice before futzing with the collar. Once he felt satisfied he followed Kyle, Jo trailing behind Danny to try and protect him as much as possible.
"There he is, there he is—DANNY!" A reported dragged her camera person over to try and get a word from him, "Tell us how you're feeling about the trial today, were you responsible for Gloria Crane's death?"
Once that first reporter sunk her teeth in, all of the rest followed.
"Danny, Danny, could charges still be filed against you for your involvement?"
Danny remained silent as reporter after reporter asked him questions, the next one more ridiculous than the one before. One reporter somehow got Danny out of his protective Masterson sandwich and he ended up behind Jo. The reporter tucked themselves in a step behind Jo and a step in front of Danny, shoving their microphone in his face.
"Danny, are you a drug dealer?"
Jo had it at that point and simply stopped walking up the steps. Danny cringed as the reporter continued to try to take another blind step backward and met with Jo's stocky frame. The impact sent the reporter toppling over to the side and falling down a few steps.
"No comment." Danny winced as he was pulled along by Jo.
Danny kept his eyes down and focused on the steps until they made it inside and down to the waiting area. The whole town was practically stuffed into the corner of the waiting room to watch the start of the trials. They all greeted Danny warmly.
Danny's eyes scanned the crowd. He smiled politely and said hello as he searched out Lacey's face. He hadn't brought his phone with him, he realized he hadn't even checked it that morning to see if she had texted him. He knew she was testifying today too, but he hoped to see her before they went inside.
"Hi Danny." Tess smiled and walked up to mess with his tie, "You look so handsome."
"Thanks for being here, Tess. I'm so nervous."
"Did you eat?"
Danny scrunched his nose up, "Kind of."
Tess sighed and scowled at Kyle.
"What?" Kyle had no idea why he was suddenly getting the stank eye from his estranged wife.
"I woke up late." Danny defended Kyle.
"Well then I'm making you dinner tonight."
"Oh, at the house?" Danny made eye contact with Kyle.
"Yeah, I'll be by later." Tess confirmed cheerfully.
"I'll actually have to take a rain check on that—"
"Nonsense, Lacey can wait an hour while you have a hot meal. Or invite her too, I'll make plenty!"
"I can't, I really can't tonight."
"Fine, go be with your friends." Tess brushed off the rejection.
Tess looked over at Kyle and tried to determine if he was shutting her down or Danny down. Either way it made her angry. Tess moved herself to the other side of the room, as far away from Kyle as possible.
"Hey, man." Johnny appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a shirt and tie. He gave Danny a bro hug and pat him on the back, "Good luck today, we're all here for you."
"Thanks, man."
Danny's heart swelled as he continued to absorb the kind faces of the majority of Green Grove's residents. The more he stood there, immersed in their love and support, the stronger and more confident he felt about testifying. Only one person was missing.
As if on cue, a set of perfect hands wormed their way around Danny's waist from behind and gave him a gentle squeeze. He recognized the fit of the hug first and everyone watched his face light up. He spun around and found Lacey, wearing a stunning blue dress and black heels, her hair out and curly.
"Lacey, hey—" Danny greeted her with a proper hug, "You look lovely."
"Thanks, so do you. Sorry I'm late." She whispered to him, "I slept so good." Her voice dripping with gratitude for the exercise they gave each other the night before.
"Same." Danny giggled, leaning in to give her a quick kiss in front of everyone.
"Good morning, Danny." Judy Porter cleared her throat when she finally caught up with her daughter, Samuel Porter not far behind.
"Mrs. Porter, Mr. Porter, good morning." He wondered if they knew that he and Lacey were back on again, "It's so nice to see you!" He gave them both a quick hug.
"Danny, call me Judy." Mrs. Porter corrected, extending an olive branch Danny was about to grab on to and never let go of.
"Judy." Danny tried it out and gave her an appreciative nod.
"Same goes for me." Samuel's eyes doing all the smiling.
"Judy, got it." Danny laughed at his own joke, Kyle joining in briefly, "I'm sorry, I'm just—Sam, Judy, thank you both for coming, it means a lot to me and I know Lacey feels the same way."
"You're nervous." Sam pointed out.
"Dad—" Lacey gave her dad a face, hoping he'd stop there.
"Are your parents coming, Danny?" Judy really didn't know.
"Mom—" Lacey tried to squash her mother's questions.
"What? I can't ask the boy a question?"
"It's okay, it's fine. I have not spoken with them in a long time so I really have no idea, but I think it's safe to say that they're not coming."
The court bailiff came out to call for the members of the group that were there to testify today. The Porters watched as Danny absently grabbed Lacey's hand and massaged it nervously.
"C'mon guys." Kyle guided Danny and Lacey along with him inside the courtroom.
Kyle did his best to point out where people would be and how this would work as they walked through the courtroom and headed back to the room they'd be stuck in together all day. They were allowed to use the restroom, get fresh coffee and submit their lunch orders all before the trial got underway.
Just before 9 am Kyle, Danny and Lacey, along with everyone else set to testify that day, could hear the general public as they were seated and the defendant was brought into the courtroom. They had no idea who would be up first for trial and wouldn't know until it was their turn to take the stand.
The bailiff called for Lacey first. When she returned, her face was pale, drawn. They were being recorded and were not allowed to talk about the case, but he could tell Lacey had just been through it. He assumed the trial was for Regina at that point until it was his turn to be called.
Danny exited the room after trying his best to console Lacey. He immediately looked over toward the defendant's table and made eye contact with the person in the hot seat.
Today's trial was for Charlie McBride.
Danny did his best. He didn't let Charlie intimidate him, he answered questions honestly and confidently and remained calm when Charlie's defense attorneys aggressively cross examined him.
Once he was done for the day he was escorted back into the holding room and embraced a waiting Lacey. She had been crying and Danny wished so much that they didn't have to go through this.
At the end of the day they were able to watch the verdict on the closed-circuit tv in the room. Charlie was found guilty on five new charges plus had his previous sentences reinstated with credit for the time he had already served. Total remaining sentence in years: 55
"You okay?" Danny was supremely worried about her.
Lacey nodded a vacant yes, still sitting right next to Danny until they were told they could leave. She had her head resting on his shoulder as they waited.
"Can I see you tonight?" Lacey asked more as a formality than an actual plan. Of course they'd see each other.
"Well, I wish I was saying yes and inviting you over for Tess' cooking right now, but I can't."
Lacey sat up and looked at him in curiously, "Something happen?"
"Yeah—" Danny blew out and looked down as he played with the end of his tie, "I can't stay at the Masterson's this week after all."
"Wait, what? Why not?"
"I just can't seem to get out of my own way." He said more to himself.
"Danny—" Lacey was half a second away from going to snap at Kyle to find out why her boyfriend was feeling unwelcome.
"Kyle found the empty wine bottles I buried in his trash can last night." Danny admitted, "He asked me to leave."
"Are you kidding me? After everything you did for him with this investigation?! That's so stupid—"
Danny ignored Lacey's attempts at making him feel better about this, "Why do I keep doing this to myself?"
"Maybe you can stay with me. I'll ask my parents when we're back out front."
"I don't want to explain to them the reason why, Lace. They're just starting to like me again."
"So what do you want to do?"
"I guess I'll just have to commute."
"It's almost two hours one way, all the traffic—that's crazy. Please let me ask them."
"No, no. I'll ask Johnny if he knows a place I can stay for the week. Please don't ask them."
"Okay, but damn it I want to see you. It's my only break from school for a while."
"I'll make the time, no matter where I'm staying." Danny promised.
Lacey sighed, irritated that their precious time together was probably about to be greatly reduced.
The group of them that testified were finally released. They walked along the endless marble hallways like sheep with a sea of other Green Grove residents that had come to watch. Danny chatted with a few people and could finally talk more openly about Charlie's case now that it was closed.
Thankfully, the reporters who had been so ready to pounce on Danny were now all set up for a press conference in the back parking lot and the group sailed through the front with relative ease.
Danny and Lacey had been pushed apart in all the craziness by the time they made it outside. He saw Sam and Judy standing off to the side, but without Lacey his confidence to chat with them was waning. He spotted Johnny and jogged over to him instead.
"Johnny, hey—"
"Hey! Wow you went through some shit with Charlie. I had no idea."
"Yeah, this summer was definitely brutal."
"Those pics of your face man, unreal—"
"Hey, I was wondering, do you know a place I could crash this week for the rest of the trials?" Danny wasn't about to get into the story of getting his ass beat right now.
"I thought you were staying at Chief's place?"
"No, turns out I'm not gonna be able to do that so—I was just checking around."
Johnny stared at his former employee for a few moments and thought it over, "Yeah, okay. I can let you stay up in the apartment above the diner for the week."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I don't have anyone moving in there right now. Just don't break anything." Johnny pulled off a key from his key ring and handed it to Danny, "No parties."
"No parties, thank you so much."
"After what I heard today Danny, you deserve it, no sweat."
Danny squeezed the key in his hand, is this what it felt like to get your own place? It was one thing to be allowed to stay with the girls in the city, but it was something else entirely to have someone approve you for your own space and hand you the key to it. This was freedom, he loved it.
"There you are!" Lacey bounced over to him, "What did Johnny say?"
Danny showed her his key, "I can stay above the diner all week."
"Oh my god!" Lacey squealed and wrapped her arms around Danny's neck as the two of them ignored the world around them.
Danny heard a familiar whistle and finally looked beyond Lacey's beautiful face to see Chief waving to him.
"Let's go!" Kyle shouted.
"Shit. I have to go, I'm getting a ride back to the Masterson's to pick up my clothes and then I'll drive Whitney's car back here to check out the space."
"Okay, text me when you're back."
Danny waved to the Porters from afar as he made his way over to Kyle's cruiser. He stuffed himself into the back again, Jo already going on about how the way Charlie's defense attorney spoke to Danny was unacceptable and pointed out all of the inconsistencies in their theory.
Danny stayed quiet and stewed in his own guilt as they pulled back into the farm. He'd miss this family time, even though they weren't really his family. He never had those moments with his own parents and he'd miss their closeness now that he had to go. It always seemed to be his fault. He drank the wine, he was born. It was always his fault he never had a family.
"I'll just grab my stuff, Chief, I'll be right out." Danny announced and headed inside.
"Dad, you're really going to make him leave right now? Jo rolled her eyes at Kyle as soon as Danny was out of earshot.
"You gave him the alcohol, correct?"
"Yes."
"You're on AM and PM animal duty." Kyle doled out Jo's punishment.
"Fine, whatever. Danny and I, sometimes it feels like we're all we got. I know you don't understand that because you're not an only child, but I'm telling you, please stop being such a fucking cop all the time and just be our dad!" She scolded him.
Danny came out a few moments later with his backpack and the large garment bag filled with his designer suits from Gloria. By now Kyle was regretting telling Danny he had to leave.
"Where you headed?" Jo asked him, Kyle listening intently.
"I found a place in town." Danny answered simply.
Kyle absorbed his daughter's death stare and watched as Danny loaded his stuff into Whitney's car.
"Danny—" Kyle began, a little lost for words as he battled with doing what was right and what he felt Danny needed.
Danny could hear the reluctance in his voice.
"Thanks, Chief. For being there for me when I get a little lost. I can always count on you to steer me right." Danny tried his best to tell him there were no hard feelings.
Kyle took that as the sign he was looking for and grabbed Danny for a real hug, one they each needed desperately. This was as close to a father/son relationship that either of them had ever had and neither of them wanted to lose that.
"I know you said you don't want to hear it, but I am sorry for drinking your wine. So stupid." Danny pulled out his wallet and handed Kyle some cash.
"What's this?"
"It's eighty dollars. Leave it to Jo to steal forty dollar bottles of wine." Danny laughed, "I don't know exactly how I'm going to earn your respect back, but I need to start somewhere."
"Thanks." Kyle held up the cash in acknowledgment for what it was and stuffed it in his pocket.
Danny waved to Jo and took off, relieved that Kyle didn't seem to be writing him off just yet and excited to be heading out to finally do his own thing.
Lacey tracked Johnny down right after Danny left with Kyle and got access to the apartment above the diner. It was a dump. It hadn't been cleaned since the previous tenant left.
Lacey ran across the street to the market and bought trash bags and cleaning supplies, only having about a half hour before she spied Whitney's bright red car through the front window as it pulled into a space along Main Street.
Danny found the old wooden staircase that led to the apartment door. He slid his key in and found it was already unlocked. He pushed the door open and saw Lacey, barefoot in her beautiful blue dress, mopping the floor, hair stuffed in a bunch at the top of her head and wearing bright yellow cleaning gloves.
"Hey." Danny greeted her.
He never thought she looked more beautiful than she did right now. He set his bags down and walked over to give her a kiss.
"Hi!" Lacey accepted his kiss and then shoved him backward, "I just mopped there!"
Danny laughed and stepped away, finally looking around and realizing what a shit-hole the apartment really was. Even with it being just a free place to flop for the week, it was still bigger than the studio in the city. It felt like a mansion to him, a disgusting, dilapidated mansion.
The whole apartment smelled like stale smoke. The floors were covered with a combination of mismatched peel 'n' stick tiles and cracked linoleum. There were cigarette burn marks dotted all over it. The light fixture in the center of the ceiling was just a single, bare light bulb. Danny tried the light switch but it didn't turn on.
He followed Lacey's lead and pulled on gloves, taking some of the cleaning supplies into the bathroom. They were a great team he thought as he scrubbed the toilet and the pee stains in front of it. His mind wandered to them having their own place someday.
Lacey eventually made her way into the bathroom to watch as Danny cleaned the inside of the shower in Gucci suit pants that he had rolled up at his ankles.
"Done!" Danny declared after running the shower to rinse off the soap.
"Good, get out so I can mop." Lacey demanded lovingly.
Danny stepped out and pulled his gloves off. He walked over to the front window and admired the aerial view of Main Street before checking out the kitchen. Lacey had already scrubbed the sink and counter and had collected a pretty large bag of trash.
"You work fast!" Danny shouted to her.
He pulled open the fridge and quickly shut it again, realizing that it must have been off for a long time. It was filled with spoiled food.
"Oh, dear—yeah, did you open it? I meant to tell you not to open it." Lacey winced and added her gloves to the trash bag.
"Lacey—" Danny pulled her against him for a hug, "Thank you for being amazing."
"You say that, but really, if I'm going to be staying here all week, this was a necessity." She smiled and enjoyed Danny's loving embrace.
"You'll stay here with me?" Danny was surprised.
"Unless you don't want me to—"
Danny pulled her even closer, "You're staying."
The pair ended up meeting Jo to borrow her air mattress and some bedding. Johnny had confirmed that the electricity was off in the apartment so they'd have to get creative. They stole a couple coolers from Lacey's garage when they stopped to get her clothes for the week and then went shopping for snacks and drinks.
It was after 10 pm by the time Danny and Lacey made it back up to their space. Danny set up the air mattress, an expert at it now, knowing the perfect level of inflation needed in order to not have a sore back in the morning.
Lacey carried in their dinner order from the diner and they settled in together for the best first night ever. Halfway through dinner, Danny got curious and pulled out his wallet, counting out the cash he had left. He hadn't made it to the bank before he left the city to deposit the money from his weekend shifts and had just paid Phoebe rent, so he knew his bank account had nothing in it.
"I have twenty bucks left and I'm going to need it for gas to get back to the city. I promised Whitney I wouldn't leave it empty."
Danny shook his head in disappointment, thankful he could just jump back into his job when he was done here and make cash the same night. He looked at the food they bought, probably enough to get them through tomorrow.
"Hey, I got you, okay? You bought all of this, I'll grab more food for the second half. Now, relax, this is supposed to be fun."
Danny nodded and tossed his wallet over into this pile of clothes, he hated using her money when she wasn't working. He knew she needed it for school.
"You're right." Danny took another bite and thought about their day, his chewing slowed down.
"What?"
"What happened today?"
"Danny—"
"Get it out. You'll feel better."
Lacey took a deep breath, "They asked about everything. How long we dated, how intimate we were, they asked about the night that guy OD'd at the party we went to—all of it. All of the things I've been trying to bury for the last year."
"Now you've told your story, it's out. You don't need to keep it buried. It's not all just your burden to bear anymore. You're free. He's gone, you're free."
"You saved me this summer in more ways than one, D. I love you."
"I love you."
They got ready for bed, wishing their glowing domestic bliss was enough to light up the pitch black apartment if only that sort of conversion was possible.
They took a blind shower together which was oddly erotic. They couldn't see anything, only feel. The shower stall was too small to do anything other than get clean so they did, the two of them deciding to wash each other, something neither of them had done before.
Once they were toweled off, they giggled wildly as they tried to get their naked bodies from the bathroom to their bed without killing themselves in the dark. Naked, sightless tag was now a favorite game for them.
Danny found her again and kissed her deep, silencing Lacey's giggles and turning their mood from happy and light, to passionate and loving. Danny was passion. His lips, his body, everything about him.
Lacey reached down and wrapped her hand around Danny's cock, pulling at him while their lips continued sucking on each other. Danny followed, moving a hand from Lacey's ass and burying it between her legs.
Despite Lacey's whole arm being in the way, Danny kept trying to pull her closer and closer, his need to be inside of her was overwhelming him.
"Lay down." Lacey smiled against his lips when she could not longer ignore his persistence.
Danny as unable to see her smile but he felt it, imagining her perfect dimples. Their eyes had adjusted to the dark for the most part, now able to make out their shapes but not much of anything else.
Danny laid on the bed as instructed, pleasantly surprised that the street light lit Lacey's body up from her belly to her face as she crawled up his body. She disappeared again when she leaned down to kiss him.
Danny responded with sloppy kisses, one hand holding the side of her face, his other hand on her ass, encouraging the tiny roll her hips were doing against his dick.
He was ready to flip them, to pin her legs open and get himself inside of her, but she wouldn't let him. He got his own hips rolling in counter to hers, praying he'd slip inside every time she slid back down. He let go of her face and reached down, trying to guide himself in. Lacey lifted her hips away and broke their kiss
"Mmph—hey now, I'm in charge tonight." Lacey hummed.
"Says who?" Danny exhaled in frustration, "It's been a month—" He couldn't keep his hands off of her.
Lacey giggled at her overheated boyfriend, "We had sex last night."
Danny struggled up into a seated position with Lacey still in his lap, cursing to himself and now wishing he had filled up the air mattress more than he had.
Lacey was sitting on top of his junk now, it's length snuggled along her crack. She never stopped grinding against him, smiling as he whimpered.
"Now you're just teasing me." Danny whined a little.
Danny sucked one of Lacey's nipples into his mouth, a part of her body that just happened to be right at mouth level. Lacey ran her fingers through his damp hair, admiring the tiny shadows that the single outdoor light cast across the side of his perfect face.
"I want you so bad—" Lacey confirmed, voice low and sexy.
Danny kept his mouth attached to her chest, tongue licking obscene flat stripes across her nipples like she was an ice cream cone. His favorite flavor.
His hands snaked around to her ass and he massaged the flesh he found there. With each new caress, Danny rocked her core closer to his waist. He could smell her, he needed her.
"Please, god please." Danny purred into the valley between her breasts.
Lacey hands were still threaded in Danny's hair. She gripped it, the force of her clutch making his lips pop off of her nipple and his head turn up toward her. She really was in charge of this.
Lacey finally leaned up off his cock just enough for it to spring upward. She caught his tip with her lower lips and notched him right at her entrance. Lacey watched his face as she sat down slowly and squeezed her core muscles tight, bouncing down and squeezing even tighter as she went.
"Thank you—" Danny uttered, his eyes rolling around his head like he couldn't control them.
Thank you? He cringed at himself once his body reacclimated itself to his girlfriend's incredible body, Jesus he could be so awkward. Lacey didn't seem to mind.
When she finally released his hair, Danny tried to get his mouth back on her nipples, but Lacey had other plans. She pushed him backward gently so he would lay down again.
Danny laid back and Lacey pried his hands off of her ass, lacing their fingers together and pressing his hands into his chest. Lacey used this as her anchor and picked up her pace, her upper body illuminated again by that magical outdoor light.
"Damn—" Was all Danny could think to say as he watched her sparkle above him.
Lacey really got to work, enjoying every minute of Danny's perfect size and girth. He was big enough to stretch her and hit all the right spots. She could always feel him for hours after they had sex, but he was still average enough to not hurt her or make things difficult. He fit her perfectly.
She stared down at him, thinking of how sweet he was to her, how much he cared about her. No one had ever treated her like that without some level of weird possessiveness attached.
She thought about this shitty apartment and how well they worked together to fix it up a little. How amazing it would be to end her day taking care of him in bed like this every night.
"I already can't wait for tomorrow night." Lacey gushed as she took his entire length and ground herself into his lower abs.
"Fuck—" Sex-hazed Danny was still trying to form words that had more than one syllable.
Lacey giggled, "You like that?" She teased him, squeezing herself tight again as she bounced faster in his lap.
"Don't stop—" Danny begged, thinking maybe two one-syllable words together were better than nothing.
"I won't." Lacey rolled her hips dramatically, her face out-of-this-world sexy. Danny was mesmerized.
When he freed his hands to start pawing at her clit Lacey knew he was getting close. She swatted him away and began grinding herself raw as she worked to come before him.
"Fucking hell—" Danny got his hands back on her ass and helped her grind against him, "You are so good—"
Lacey leaned down and laid on his chest.
"Wait for me—" Lacey begged, "I'm so close—" She was panting right in his face, Danny loved that.
Danny pulled out his two secret weapons: #1 he squeezed her ass and lifted her cheeks up a little so she could take him deeper and get maximum friction against her clit, #2 was his mouth.
"I love when you ride me." He began, his lips stuffed near the side of her head as she rode him wild, "Always ready to take care of me—I'm so lucky." He hummed.
"Yes, I'm—" Lacey's breath poured out of her, the words he was sure she was trying to say had left her throat and were replaced with the final climb to reach her silent peak.
"That's it—" Danny knew where she was headed, her hips still working him even though he knew she was exhausted.
Lacey's sweaty face smooshed into Danny's chest, her ass slapping down against him, taking him deep over and over.
"Keep going, c'mon—" Danny helped her grind again, this time more firmly, the added pressure exactly what she needed.
Her mouth hung open against his chest in pure joy, Danny's eyes now able to focus on the peace that spread across it.
Her core seized up around Danny's dick, the spasms coaxing him the rest of the way. He wrapped his arms around her as he pushed himself inside one last time, finally letting himself go.
"You are the fucking best." He grunted when she felt him finally come, the sincerity behind his voice made Lacey swoon.
Lacey's body was a wonderland, always so responsive and Danny could feel the tug of her vagina with every climax she ever had with him, something he never remembered happening with Whitney although he was sure he made her come too.
He never liked to compare things that were not comparable, but sex with Lacey really was the best sex he had ever had. His relationship with Lacey was something he never had before either. It was something they kept working on. It was something loving, trusting, respectful and also deeply sexual. She was everything, his match, his partner.
"I liked that—" Danny said as he rubbed her back lovingly, eyes closed, body spent.
"I can get used to this." Lacey sighed and snuggled into Danny's side, both of them finally drifting off.
