Walking was important, Vimes had always said, and because Vimes said it Carrot believed it. Walking and talking. Walk far enough and talk to enough people and sooner or later you had an answer.

Summary: What was the standard operating procedure when you slept with your ex-husband?
It had taken a lot of practice, but you’d learned over the course of your divorce not to ask questions that you didn’t want to know the answers to. You didn’t ask Borracho if he and Jessa had gone out. When Alyssa asked her within earshot of you during practice, you did your best not to listen, but you couldn’t help but catch on the words,
“Nice,” and “not sure,” and “next Friday.”
Next Friday? Borracho had been taking Olivia on Friday for months. He hadn’t asked you to take her for the evening yet. Was he going to get a babysitter? What was the point of wasting money like that just to keep you out of it? You didn’t have any plans next Friday, you could take her, no problem.
Your mind started combing through ways to bring it up, some subtle tactic to hint that it wouldn’t be an imposition. What if something happened and Borracho got called into work? Would he call you after that to ask you to take Olivia for the night? Fork out a fortune on overtime for that poor babysitter? And what if they couldn’t stay latte—?
“So I was thinking of putting Olivia on first base next weekend—”
“I’m free on Friday!”
It left you before you could think about it. Borracho didn’t answer for a moment. He blinked at you, his pen hovering over the notes on his clipboard. You cleared your throat, tightening your arms around your chest as you looked around. “I mean, um—First base is good, she likes first base.”
“...Yeah, I remember. You said.”
“Yeah. So—Good. Good choice.”
“Okay. Maybe stay out of Alyssa’s thermos of special juice, huh?”
You couldn’t bring yourself to tease back, just offering a small smile as you refocused on the field. It took a moment longer than it should’ve for Borracho to walk away, but that was fine enough for you—you were already stewing in your idiocy. The hell had you been thinking, blurting it out that way?
Well, whatever. The door was open now, Borracho knew you would be free on Friday. It was up to him to ask you to look after Olivia now. The ball was firmly in his court, and he knew what to do with it.
He would ask. He would cave. He just needed a couple of days, that’s all. You knew Ben, and the way he operated. He needed to come around to an idea himself. Of course, it may take a little longer because you’d blurted it out so stupidly. You could just hope his pride wasn’t wounded, or that he went out of his way to move the date.
No. No, he would ask. You’d hear from him by Wednesday.
--
You couldn’t answer too quickly. Third ring, you decided. You wanted him to squirm a little.
Well, maybe it was rude, but he deserved it! Leaving it until 5 o’clock on Friday to ask you to look after Olivia—it was short-sighted of him. Or had it been his pride? Maybe telling him that you were free had been a bridge too far. That was Ben, though: ridiculous, stubborn, absolutely maddening—
Shit, it went to voicemail.
You swiped open the missed call notification, hurriedly calling him back. You raised the phone to your ear, listening to the steady burrrrr…burrrrrrr…Was he leaving a message, or—
“Hey, there you are.”
You rolled your eyes. There you were. The nerve of him.
“Yeah, sorry,” You leaned back against the couch, propping your head up on your hand. “I was um—I didn’t hear my phone ringing until the last second. What’s up?”
What’s up, that was good. It didn’t indicate that you knew exactly why he was calling, or that you were annoyed that he’d taken so damn long.
“You still free tonight?”
“Uh…” You glanced around. “Sure, why?”
“You wanna do something?”
Your mouth opened, a half-scold, half-tease sitting on your tongue, but you froze. Do something? What had happened to his date? Did he cancel? Did Jessa?
“Um…” You cleared your throat. “Do something like—I mean, what would we, uh—What’s the plan?”
“No plan, just. Dinner, I guess?”
“Sure. Are you letting Olivia pick?” You couldn’t just not ask about her anymore.
“Liv’s at a sleepover at Amanda’s. From her class?”
Amanda, of course. You’d completely forgotten about the sleepover.
“Dinner sounds good. You wanna come over here or should I go over there?”
“I was thinking we’d go out someplace.”
He was thinking? Since when?
“I can pick you up,” He added. “Seven alright?”
What was happening? What parallel universe had you fallen into where this man was making (albeit last-minute) dinner plans and offering to pick you up?
“Sure,” You managed, “I can um—Yeah. Seven sounds good.”
“Okay. I’ll see you then.”
“See you.”
You pulled the phone back from your face, watching the call blink away before it disappeared, leaving your lock screen of Olivia in her little league uniform. 5:02pm. You had time to get ready, and a helluva lot of questions to mull over as you did.
--
It felt so foreign and strange to be out with Borracho and having such a good time. Maybe that was unfair to both of you—you’d been relating to one another as adults, not just as parents for the last couple of months. And for as badly as you’d wanted to ask about Jessa, you didn’t find a chance to bring it up.
This evening had you noticing a lot of things that seemed to have gone by the wayside over the course of your marriage. There was a lightness to the two of you, a teasing, warm energy that you had missed on the dates you'd been on recently.
--
“What’d you get?”
“Cinnamon.”
“Gimme some.”
“No!” You laughed, pulling your ice cream cup out of the reach of his questing spoon as you slid down in the passenger seat of his car. “You should’ve gotten your own scoop of cinnamon ice cream.”
“Chocolate and cinnamon don’t go.”
“Well that’s bullshit and we both know it.”
“Swear jar.”
“I’ll take it off your monthly.”
“Generous of you.”
The two of you ate your ice cream in silence for a few moments, nothing filling the car but the scrape of your plastic spoons against the little paper cups.
“...Ben?”
“I’m not sharing, either.”
You rolled your eyes, shaking your head.
“Never mind.”
“Was that it?”
“No.”
“So?”
“I said, never mind.”
You felt Borracho turn his head to look at you, and realized that the scrrrrrrrape of the spoon against the cup had stopped on his side of the car.
“What’s up?”
“No, nothing…This is nice, that’s all.” It felt dangerous to say, like acknowledging the thing might break it. But—
“Yeah,” He agreed quietly. “It is.”
“Can I, um.”
“Yeah?”
“You didn’t have anything else going on tonight?”
You heard Borracho shift in his seat, swirl his spoon around in his ice cream.
“No.”
You didn’t believe that for a second. “Really?”
“I didn’t.”
“You weren’t supposed to see Jessa?”
“No.”
You turned your head finally, taking Borracho in closely. You knew him well—you knew the way his face pinched up and closed off when he was lying to you. But his expression was smooth and honest as he turned to meet your eye. You considered for a moment before you nodded, looking back down at your ice cream.
“You like her?” You prodded.
“Talking about this doesn’t bother you?”
“No. Why should it?”
“Then why aren’t you looking at me?”
“Because I like this shirt and I don’t wanna get any ice cream on it.” It was a lame excuse, but you stuck to your guns, pointedly stabbing at a melting lump of cinnamon swirl and raising it to your mouth. Some of it dribbled off of the spoon, and before you could clean it off, Borracho’s thumb swiped across your lower lip. You eyed the smear of it and watched as Borracho drew it back to himself, sucking it off of his thumb. Heat rushed your face, and you turned to look through the windshield, swallowing thickly.
“Not bad.”
“See?” You finally managed. “Told you cinnamon and chocolate go.”
“What about you?”
“Hm?”
“No date planned tonight? You takin’ a break from the apps again?”
Yes.
“No,” You sniffed. “Just…Didn’t have one tonight.”
“Meet anyone you like lately?”
Just you.
“A couple,” You fibbed.
“You’re dating couples now?”
“No, I mean I went on a couple of—Oh—” You spluttered, whacking Ben’s shoulder as he cracked up. “I’m gonna drip some of my ice cream on this seat and then we’ll see who’s laughing.”
--
“Thanks for dinner.”
“Sure.”
“And the ice cream.”
“Yeah.” Borracho leaned back against the car, hands tucking into his pockets. You shifted from foot to foot. You could just go inside—you should just go inside, but you had hardly been able to pull yourself away from Borracho since he first picked you up. You’d realized when he’d opened your car door for you that it felt like it had at the beginning, when you’d first been together.
“I’ll get Olivia from Amanda’s in the morning and drop her off,” Borracho offered.
“Yeah, no, that sounds good. You could get breakfast, if you want, I mean. Take your time. I don’t have much going on tomorrow. Wide open, so, no, uh—No drop-off time or anything to worry about.”
“Cool.”
What was it about finding yourselves on your doorstep that had cut the evening’s ease dead? Go inside. Go inside so he can drive away, so he can go home, so he can go to bed and be ready to pick Olivia up in the morning—
“Do you want to come in for a drink?”
It was a quiet, heart-stopping moment of quiet between you before Borracho swiped his tongue across his lip, glancing around.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”
Oh. Shit.
“No, sure,” You shook your head, taking a couple steps back. Fuck, that was embarrassing. You could keep it together until you were alone.
“I didn’t mean—”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Hang on, c’mere.” Borracho reached out, gently grasping your hand and drawing you in again. You moved slowly, dragging your feet a little as you focused on his chest. “I don’t mean it like that.”
“I didn’t think you meant it like anything.”
“Look at me.”
“You should go—”
Borracho lifted his other hand cupping your cheek and tipping your face toward his. Your breath caught in your throat, eyes sweeping across his face as his thumb swept gently against your skin.
“I want to come in.”
“Then come in. Why are you making it so complicated?” You hissed.
“This doesn’t feel complicated to you?”
“We went to dinner, Ben.”
“I know.”
“Which was your idea, by the way, I don’t know if you remember that?”
“I remember.”
“So—So come in or don’t, do whatever you want, you always do whatever the fuck you want—”
You hardly got it all out before you felt the warmth and weight of his lips pressing against yours. You went still with surprise, eyes wide-open and watching as he melted into you. His hand smoothed down to your neck as you chased the kiss. You leaned into him, letting your eyes close as your hands curled in the fabric of his shirt.
Why did he bother to argue with you about coming in if he was going to stand outside and do this?
Ben’s tongue teased the seam of your lips and you parted them with a hungry moan, pressing your body against his as he curled his arm around your waist. You drew back just enough to get a good look at him, to see the way he drew his lower lip between his teeth, to hear him draw in a deep breath.
Was he panicking? Was he as surprised as you were that he’d done what he’d done? Was he waiting for you to tell him to fuck off? Or was he envisioning a large, flashing, neon sign over your head that said, BAD IDEA!
You pressed as close as you could, leaning up and brushing your lips against his jaw.
“Come inside, Ben,” You breathed. “Please come inside.”
--
Toward the end of your relationship, when the love had gone and touch had become perfunctory, you’d been certain that whatever your sex life had once been was canned. Sometimes, for its speed and mechanical nature, you’d almost wondered how you’d ever managed to make Olivia.
And you didn't expect it to be like that again from the way he’d kissed you outside—not quite as mechanical or routine.
You hardly separated from one another as you’d fumbled to lock the door before letting him steer you down the hall. Ben’s hands were everywhere—guiding you by hips; cushioning your head to keep it from thudding against the wall as the two of you came to a brief halt in the hall, his lips drifting from your lips just long enough to trail along your neck; teasing beneath the hem of your shirt before dipping to swipe beneath the band of your jeans.
Your knees hit the edge of the storage bin at the base of your bed and you wobbled, letting go of him to reach back and steady yourself against the mattress. You scooched back, face going warm as you watched Borracho reach down, tugging his shirt up and over his head. You didn’t bother to hide your open appraisal of his muscled body.
Ben had always been in good shape when you were together, and you’d caught the odd flash of it a time or two at little league practice—when he stretched further or jumped to catch a pitch or throw that had gone higher than planned or expected; when he lifted the hem of his shirt to swipe at a bead of sweat slipping down the side of his face. But those little glimpses were all accidental, and fleeting, and this…This was something that you were going to file away for your lonely evenings.
Your eyes swept up to his face as he kicked his shoes off and crawled onto the bed, his hands bracing on either side of your head.
“Your turn.”
You tipped your head to the side, brows raising.
“I’m not going to get up and flex, Ben.”
“That was not flexing.”
“Pretty sure your pecs were winking at me.”
“Maybe we should slow down. I think you’re seeing things.”
“So far,” You slid your hand down, palming his hardening cock through his pants, and grinning as he groaned, head tipping forward, “I don’t think I’ve seen enough.”
Borracho tipped his chin to catch your lips in a heated kiss, slipping his hand up under your shirt and easing it higher. You squirmed, pushing yourself up just enough to help him tug it off. You didn’t see where he threw it, already preoccupied with twisting to reach for the light, but—
“Leave it on.” Ben crushed up against your back, catching hold of your hand and intertwining your fingers. “I wanna see you.”
You shivered as his kisses trailed across your shoulders, his free hand making short work of your bra. You shrugged the straps down, letting it fall to the bed and arching back against Borracho. His lips and fingers trailed lower, and you shivered as his hand dipped into your pants. Damnit, why hadn’t you worn cuter underwear? He couldn’t see them yet, but he could surely feel the granny panties that you’d put on earlier.
The first swipe of his rough fingertips against your clit made you bite your lip to halt an embarrassing, desperate moan.
“C’mon,” Ben groaned against your skin. “You can do better than that.”
“Maybe I’m not the one that needs to do better.”
The goad was out of your mouth before you could stop it, and the next thing you knew, you were shoved onto your back, staring at the ceiling. You watched, stunned, as Borracho unbuttoned your pants, tugging them (and your granny panties) down over your ankles. You had been joking, but it had seemed to light a fire in him that you hadn’t seen in a long time. He spread your legs with his broad shoulders, smoothing his hands up your inner thighs. You didn’t even have a chance to feel embarrassment before Ben is lapping broadly across your pussy.
You let your head fall back against the pillows as his fingertips curled into the meat of your thighs. He moaned against your skin, sucking slick kisses against your pussy. You slid your hands into his hair, toes curling in your sheets as he firmly flicked his tongue across your clit. You gave his hair a tug, whimpering as you felt him growl against you.
“Forgot how good you taste,” He murmured.
“Forgot how good you are at this,” You laughed shakily.
Ben hummed, sliding his fingers up to tease at your aching opening. He tutted softly as you tipped your hips down into his touch.
“When’s the last time someone took care’a you, huh?” He asked, easing two fingers into your pulsing cunt. You don’t answer—you can’t. You just push your hips hungrily down into him.
“Must’a been a while,” He went on, “Look at you—Fucking dripping for me.”
“Ben.”
“I know,” He cooed, curling and spearing his fingers. And he must know, because his movements are so precious, so sure–as if the two of you were together just days ago, not years. “That’s it…Fuck, I missed—”
He groaned, giving your clit a swift suck. You pulled in a shocked breath, shuddering and shaking as you came suddenly. Your feet shoved at the sheets as your hips tipped up into his hand. Goddamn, you couldn’t remember the last time you came so fucking fast for anyone, Ben included. He drew his hand back, and you watched dazedly as he raised his fingers to his lips, sucking the taste of you from them.
“Condom?” He asked.
“In the drawer,” You nodded toward the nightstand. Ben knelt over you to fish through the door as you took hold of his belt, undoing the buckle before turning to the fastenings as you heard the drawer open.
“Quite the stockpile in here..." You heard. “What’s this?”
You tipped your head to the side, warmth washing over your face and neck as you spotted Ben holding up your vibrator.
“The competition.”
“Different color than the last one."
“Same model, though.”
“Yeah?”
“Can we get back to matters at hand, please?” You whined, pushing the waistband of his pants down. Ben leaned back, setting the condom down on the bed beside you before climbing off of the bed to remove them completely. You scooched over on the bed, steadying one hand on his hip and taking hold of his cock with the other. You stroked him a few times before leaning in, lapping at the pearl of precum beading at the tip.
Ben moaned softly, and you watched as his eyes slipped shut, his tongue sweeping across his lips. You turned your head, lapping across your palm and taking him in hand before you scooch forward, pressing a kiss to his hip. The kiss is chased by a nip, then a suck, then a lick before you lean away, eyeing the bright red mark left behind.
“Lay back,” Borracho ordered, giving your shoulder a gentle push. You scooched back, smiling as he caught your chin in his hand, tipping your head up for a sweeping kiss. You watched as he picked the condom up from where he’d left it and ripping the packet open with his teeth. Your stomach flipped as he rolled it down over his length—god where did that come from?
You could still stop. You could still tell Ben that you had changed your mind—had you changed your mind? Were these butterflies nerves or anticipation?
But as Ben teased the head of his cock against your pussy, you knew it was anticipation. You slid your hands up his arms, fingers curling around the swell of his bicep, nails digging in as he eased into you. Your shared moans filled the room as he curled over you, his forehead resting against yours as your eyelashes fluttered shut. Neither of you hurried the other along, you just waited, and felt—the weight and warmth of him on you, in you, lips and breath brushing one another’s as you each adjusted, and remembered.
And when he did move, if he had a problem with the marks that you laid on his shoulder and chest, he didn’t say a thing about it.
And when he did move, if you heard his bitten off swears, his murmurs of, “Missed this,” you didn’t say a thing about it.
--
The regret should’ve been instant. The moment you woke up wrapped in that man’s arms, feeling the rough brush of his cheek as he peppered your shoulders with kisses, that should’ve been it. There should’ve been a sinking sensation in your stomach, two eye blinks before you were hit with absolute clarity that the two of you had done something supremely stupid.
Instead, you rolled over in Ben’s arms and caught his lips with yours. He hummed against them, sliding a hand down to palm your ass and pull you closer.
“Time is it?” You mumbled.
“Who cares?”
“You have to pick up Liv.”
“We got time.”
“How much time?”
“Just relax.”
“I’m relaxed, I’m just making sure you’re not late to pick her up.”
Borracho groaned, rolling onto his back and lifting his hands to scrub at his eyes.
“Why did I think that last night would’ve mellowed you out a bit?”
“In the whole time you’ve known me, when have I ever been mellow?”
“Not often.” Borracho tipped his head to the side to look at you, a tender smile curling his lips.
And—oh, god, did the regret hit you like a freight train then. The man had no right to look at you like that, and hadn’t had it for a long time.
You managed a tight smile before you hurriedly pushed yourself up.
What were you supposed to do? Cuddle up? Jump all the way out of bed and shoo him out? Make him coffee and offer him toast (to be eaten hastily in the front hall, because there was no way he’d eat something so crumbly in his car)?
What was the standard operating procedure when you slept with your ex-husband?
“Hey.” You could hear his frown. “Where’re you goin’?”
“Gonna make some coffee.” You leaned over, grabbing your sleep shirt from where it was hanging over the edge of the hamper and dropping your bedsheets just enough to pull it on. “Want some?”
--
Your hands moved on autopilot as you measured out the coffee grinds and filled the water reservoir. You could hear Borracho in your bathroom, the hush of the shower just on the edge of your focus. Your mind filled with sinful images—Ben’s hands scrubbing soap across his pecs, over the hickies that were no doubt blooming on his skin. Oh, god. Where had you left them? His chest? His hip? His thigh?
You scrubbed your hands over your rapidly heading neck, puffing a stressy breath out through your nose. God, not now. Get the man out the door before you start combing through the night’s events.
Toast, you could make toast. Once the coffee was made, that would occupy your hands. You wouldn’t be able to reach out and—
The creaking of the floor behind you pulled you from your disarrayed thoughts.
“You hungry?”You asked. “I mean, I know you’re heading out—” That was good, reinforce that, lead him out kindly, “And you’re probably going to get breakfast with Liv.”
“Coffee’s fine.”
“Okay.”
“Mugs in the usual place?”
“Yeah, but I’ll—”
“I got ‘em.”
You set your eyes on the coffee maker, eyeing the steadily filling pot as Borracho’s arms came into view, reaching for the cabinet. Your gaze swept up over the expanse of skin, traveling up over the tight slip of his bicep and landing on the bright red mark marring his left shoulder. Oh. Shit. And why the hell had he slung his shirt over his shoulder instead of putting it on?
Borracho set two mugs down, glancing at the mark before reaching for the coffee pot.
“Thanks for avoiding my neck.”
“Sure,” You nodded dazedly. “Old habits.”
Borracho grunted, nudging a mug toward you as he took up his own. The two of you sipped quietly for a few moments, nearly hip to hip as the coffee maker ceased its burbling.
“You wanna join us for breakfast? I can grab Liv and we can come pick you up,” He offered. “Give you time to get ready.”
You should cut it dead there, you knew that.
But Olivia always seemed to have such a good time when the three of you were together.
Still, after the night you’d had, could you really sit through breakfast without spending the entire meal in your head? And what about after breakfast? What if you were looping into going to the park with them again—?
You cleared your throat, glancing down the hall.
“I should probably get back to the bathroom remodel.”
Borracho nodded a little, peering into his mug.
“Anything I can help with?”
“Oh—No. I’m just gonna paint today, I think.”
“I can help tape. I know you hate getting the corners.”
“No, really, it’s fine. I don’t wanna cut into your time with Liv.”
Borracho tossed back the rest of his coffee before gritting out, “Alright.” You watched him set his mug in the sink and yank the shirt off of his shoulder, tugging it on over his head. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that his tone had something to do with your answer—and you did know better, but it was so easy to dismiss it as the fact that he’d just chugged some insanely hot coffee.
Maybe he was trying to get out of there as quickly as possible—maybe he had only invited you to breakfast to be polite—
Borracho turned, brushing past you and making for the door. You should’ve been relieved, but the sight of his rapidly retreating back made your stomach twist. Jesus Christ, what the hell did you two do?
Things had been in such a good place, clicking along so well—he was going on dates, you were going on dates, why had you gone so fucking insane—
“Hey.”
You snapped to attention at the sound of Ben’s voice. He was lingered by the still closed door, one hand on the knob, the other clutching his jacket from there he’d scooped it off of the floor.
“Yeah?” You asked.
His mouth moved wordlessly for a few seconds before he closed it, jaw tensing.
“I’ll—Later.”
Two disjointed words, and then Borracho was out of sight, your door clicking shut behind him.
--
Breakup sex. That’s what you decided, standing in the paint aisle of Home Depot as you tried to decide between the swatches of Eggshell and Harvest Wheat for the bathroom.
By the time you and Borracho had reached the decision to divorce, physical affection had gone right out the window. There hadn’t been a last hug, a last kiss, a last fuck—at least, not one that you had known was the last, when it had happened. So last night’s temporary insanity was actually much-delayed, absolutely normal, totally-within-the-bounds-of-every-other-fucked-up-relationship breakup sex.
And most importantly, it wasn’t going to happen again.
One-and-done.
The two of you had moved on before, you’d do it again. You would go back to casual conversation and regular, Olivia-only related phone calls now that you’d both…scratched that itch.
Harvest Wheat.
Harvest Wheat, and a new light fixture, and absolutely no more fucking your ex-husband.
--
“Shut up,” He groaned, breathing hot against the skin of your throat, “Fuck, you want everyone to know what we’re doing in here?”
“You shut up!” You hissed, fingers winding through his hair as his thrusts became more harsh.
Oh, this was bad. This was not what baby changing stations in public restrooms were meant for.
Going out for pizza after the game with a few of the other parents and Olivia’s teammates had seemed so innocent on the face of it. The kids had won a game, and had more than earned a couple of slices and an ice cream.
But it had been Ben’s fault for following you into the bathroom. And maybe it had been your fault a little, too, for telling him, when he pulled his jacket off and briefly bared his shoulder when his opened button down slipped, that his shoulder looked like it had healed up nicely. But it had been even more of Ben’s fault when he’d asked if you wanted to change that.
Either way, the fact that you’d gotten up to use the restroom and opened the door to find him waiting there had been a surprise, and for him to guide you back inside with a kiss had caught you even more off-guard.
You could’ve told him fuck off, to stop, and he would’ve. But where your hands had come up to push him away, you’d grasped his shirt and hauled him closer as his hands fumbled to undo the latch on the baby changing table.
You curled your arms around his shoulders now, praying that the slight rattling of the table wasn’t loud enough that it would reach the patrons in the restaurant. You turned your head, blindly searching for Ben’s lips and whining as his tongue dipped into your mouth. You used your hold on his hair to guide his head as you liked. His hands braced on the wall behind you, pace becoming more and more harsh.
“Hurry up,” You breathed, “Someone’ll come looking—Oh!” You gasped as Borracho lowered a hand between you, swirling your clit with his fingers. The speed and angle were just on the right side of rough, and Borracho’s pace began to falter as you came. You tipped your head back as you felt Borracho’s hips twitch, and he spilled into you.
You drew in a deep breath as the two of you settled. Borracho’s hands smoothed to your waist, easing you off of the changing station before he took a step back. You tugged up your pants as he fixed his, and when he caught your eye, you shared a smile.
“Should get back out there before someone comes looking,” You nodded toward the door.
“Yeah.”
You made it two steps closer to the door before you heard, “Forgetting something?”
You turned back, and had to bite back a smile as Borracho lightly tugged his sleeve aside, baring his shoulder to you. You stepped closer, leaning in and sinking your teeth lightly into his skin. You hummed, pulling back and lapping across the dented skin.
“Did you like biting this much when we were married?” He teased.
“I dunno. Were you this biteable when we were married?”
Borracho smiled, ducking in for a quick kiss. “Go back to the table. ‘M gonna sneak out back for a smoke.”
“Don’t take too long.”
“Go,” He repeated, giving your ass a light slap as you turned away from him.
--
You weren’t sure what was worse—returning to the table and getting a suspicious look from Alyssa, or the realization that you’d need to pick up Plan B on the way home.
Mommy has a procedure tomorrow morning! Wish me all the luck. I’ll be a little 🍃 for a few days, so if my post make no sense, Mama apologizes ahead of time 🩶
