“Ellery,” I moaned as I couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Co
Her body tightened as she threw her head back and came. My lips forcefully locked with hers, and I didn’t want to stop. I finally broke our kiss and looked at her. She was smiling at me as I collapsed on top of her. Our breathing was shallow, and our heart rates were beating at the same speed.
“God, how I’ve missed having sex with you,” Ellery said breathlessly.
I kissed her neck before rolling off of her. “I’ve missed it too, baby. You felt so good,” I said as I ran the back of my hand across her cheek.
Suddenly, little sounds came through the monitor. Ellery and I looked at the monitor on the dresser. Julia was stirring in her crib. A soft cry came from her and we looked at each other.
“Don’t worry; I’ll get her if she continues to cry.” I smiled as I ran my finger across her jaw line.
“It’s okay; I’ll get her. You just worked very hard.” Ellery smiled back.
We lay there in each other’s arms, staring at the monitor and waiting for Julia to wake up. She didn’t. As I reached my hand down in between Ellery’s legs, I whispered, “Are you ready for round two?”
Chapter 7 Ellery
As I awoke, I reached over to put my arm around Co
“Good morning, baby.” He smiled as he looked up at me.
“Good morning,” I said as I walked over and gave him and Julia a kiss. “Why didn’t you wake me? I would’ve gotten her.”
“You looked so peaceful sleeping, and I was already awake when she woke up.”
I poured a cup of coffee and sat down in the chair next to him. He looked so sexy in his black suit, and I wanted to take him upstairs and devour him before he had to leave for the office.
“Is something special going on today? You hardly ever wear a suit to the office.”
“I have to go to court today. I told you last week,” he said as he looked at me.
“Shit, Ashlyn and the trial. I completely forgot. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. You just had a baby and you’re still trying to adjust. Don’t worry about it,” he said as he put Julia over his shoulder to burp her.
De
“Good morning.” He smiled as he looked at us.
“Good morning, De

“Seriously?” he said.
I tried so hard to contain my laughter, as did De
“Don’t you know by now that you shouldn’t feed a baby while wearing a suit?” De
“I guess I do now,” Co
Claire came into the kitchen, and I handed Julia to her. I walked upstairs and into the bedroom where Co
“What’s that look for?” he asked.
“I just think it’s fu
“You think it’s fu
“I do, and you don’t need a five-thousand-dollar suit anyway. That’s a ridiculous amount of money to spend. No one is going to know it costs that much, and you look just as sexy in a five- hundred-dollar suit.”
Co
“You know how much I love it when you babble on like that.” He smiled.
“Please, Co
Suddenly, we heard De
Co
“I’ll be ready.” I winked.
Co
“Bye, my beautiful little girl.” Co
“Bye, babe. Good luck and call me.”
He gave me a small smile before the elevator doors closed. I took Julia upstairs to change her diaper. Since I couldn’t stop thinking about the trial, I was pissed that Co
“Hello, bestie. Did you and Co
“Good morning, Peyton, and yes, we did have amazing sex, but that’s not why I’m calling.”
“Oh, I thought you’d want to talk about it,” she said with a disappointed tone.
“Are you busy today?” I asked her.
“I just have a few errands to run. Why?”
“Co
“Did he ask you to go?”
“No, and he wouldn’t either. You know how he is. I just wanted to know if you could watch Julia for a few hours?”
“Of course I’ll watch that beautiful goddaughter of mine!” she squealed.
“Thank you, Peyton. I appreciate it.”
“No problem. I’ll be over in about thirty minutes.”
As I was putting Julia in her bouncy seat, De
“Elle, I don’t think that’s a good idea. You shouldn’t go there.”
“It’s not a matter of if I should or shouldn’t. I want to, and I want to be there for my husband.”
“I understand that, but I don’t think Co
I rolled my eyes. “Don’t you know me by now?”
“Yes. Just let me know when you’re ready.” He sighed.
I smiled as I walked over and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you, De
“You know he’ll probably yell at me for doing this,” he said.
“Don’t worry about it. If he says anything, I’ll take care of him.” I smiled.
I asked De
“Are you sure you want to do this, Elle?” she asked.
“Of course I’m sure.”
“You know that bitch is crazy, and you haven’t seen her since you punched her out.”
“I know I haven’t and that’s why it’s time.”
I put on my black heels, handed Peyton the diaper bag, and kissed Julia goodbye. “Everything you need is in here. If you’re going to take her with you on errands, then you’ll need the stroller and it’s in the hallway by the elevator.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ve got this!” She smiled.

I sat outside the courtroom, waiting for the trial to begin. I hadn’t seen Ashlyn since that day at the gym.
“Don’t worry, Co
