Always His (Crazed Devotion #1) by C.A. Harms

was a plane flying through the air. Her sweet giggles as we played were something I could live with forever.
    But the moment Victoria curled up on my chest and fell asleep, I felt like someone had my heart in their hands and was squeezing it tight. In that moment I knew I had fallen in love with that sweet little angel.
    These two girls had me wrapped around their fingers; I was a fucking goner.
    I lay perfectly still listening to Nicole’s gentle snores. Completely distracted, I hadn’t noticed Tori enter until she climbed up over my legs.
    “Hey, Squirt,” I said, suddenly a little nervous about how she would take me being in bed with her mom.
    “Hi,” she replied as she sat down on my stomach and held her bear close to her chest. My being there didn’t even seem to faze her. She leaned in and whispered, “I had an accident.”
    A million things ran through my mind as I began to panic. What did she mean by an accident? She looked like she was okay.
    But nothing prepared me for what happened next.
    “I peed the bed,” she confessed.
    Suddenly the warmth I felt on my chest became a little clearer as I realized just what was seeping through the sheet that separated us. I had no idea how to respond to this. Having a little person around was completely new to me.
    Nicole’s laughter filled the room, and I felt foolish for my near panic attack.
    “Welcome to the life with a three-year-old,” Nicole said as she sat up in bed. “She doesn’t do it often, but now you’ve been peed on, just wait until she pukes on you. You’ll be wishing it was pee instead.”
    Nicole walked around the bed wearing only a tank top and a pair of those panties that look like tiny shorts. She lifted Victoria off me and placed the girl on her side like having pee on her hip was nothing. All I could do was chuckle. It would appear I had a lot to learn about kids.
    After Nicole cleaned up Tori and herself, I was finally able to shower.
    As I stepped out of the bathroom, I could smell fresh coffee and the delicious scent of pancakes. I followed the aroma, and when I rounded the corner to the kitchen, I stopped midstride and took in the sight before me.
    Tori was standing on a kitchen chair at Nicole’s side with Nicole’s arm wrapped securely around her. With her opposite hand Nicole held on to Tori’s as it gripped the spatula they were using to flip the pancakes.
    Tori giggled in excitement as they lifted the last pancake from the skillet and placed it on the plate next to them on the counter.
    When I returned to Alabama, I knew Victoria was a part of Nicole, which in turn meant she would be part of my life as well. I had no reservations about accepting that. But never in my wildest dreams did I know I would love her so much. Nicole had always been my one true love. But now another girl held my heart too.
    Nicole looked back over her shoulder and smiled at me. “You hungry?”
    “Yeah,” I replied as I stepped up behind them and leaned over kiss the top of Victoria’s head. I couldn’t help but notice Nicole was watching my reaction to Tori closely. I tickled her side, and she giggled. “Did you make breakfast, Princess?” I asked her as I tugged on her braid lightly.
    She nodded and beamed over her shoulder at me in pride.
    “Well, it sure does smell good,” I added before I leaned to the side and gave Nicole a kiss as well. I took a chance and traced her lower lip with the tip of my tongue, and she opened her lips and sucked on the tip. The response sent a streak of desire through me, and I wished for just a moment that we were back in her bedroom, tucked beneath her sheets together.
    “Ew,” a little voice interrupted my dirty thoughts, and Nicole smiled against my lips. When I pulled back and looked at Nicole, I could tell she was feeling hungry for me too. After all those years without her, it was hard not to touch her and want to be near her every chance I got.
    “Sorry about that, little lady,” I said as I looked
