let myself relax, drifting off as well.

Chapter Six
    Max
    A woman should not feel as good as Grace does, it’s almost like cheat days with food.
    Fuck, just the absolute power she has to break my composure is fucked up. I try to never let myself go like I did with Grace. I tried once to do what I did with her before, but the girl I tried it with quickly put a stop to it. She said I was a rough asshole… Yeah I didn’t like that. I may be an asshole bear in the ring, but outside I try to be a good guy.
    Hurting a woman scares the hell out of me.
    It’s all too easy to forget how big I am and how much stronger I am compared to other men. I would hate myself if I truly hurt a woman, especially Grace.
    That is an odd thought to just come up in my head—why especially Grace? I know I’m getting hooked on this girl…
    But how hooked?
    I mean, shit, we’ve only known each other for a couple of days, really. A couple of amazing days to be sure.
    I let her name roll around in my head. She is still sleeping while I look down at her mass of blonde hair. She is resting her head on my chest and I watch it fall then rise with my breath. She is so warm and comfortable lying next to me.
    Somewhere in my head I feel like things are right in the world with her sleeping beside me… even if she has drooled just a little on my chest.
    The thing is I don’t mind shit like that.
    She is beautiful, sexy as can be, and smart as a whip. She used a little self-depreciating humor earlier and it rankled me a bit. I don’t like how she looks down on herself, but I don’t think she does it consciously… still it’s there.
    I pull Grace tighter to me.
    Hope, she is going to be an issue. Well not her, herself—she’s cool as fuck and I can see getting very attached to her.
    No, the issue will be that fuckup that is her father.
    I have seen guys like him, and from what Hope and Grace say I have heard enough to know what type of man he is. Threatening a mother like Grace with taking away the child she centers her whole life around is beyond cruel. You just don’t do shit like that, not if you’re a good guy. He has fallen instantly in the bad guy territory, pretty unredeemable to me. Neither of them need him.
    Me, as a father of Grace’s children… When I told her about the whole belly swollen with my child thing she looked freaked the fuck out.
    I have to mentally shrug on that, it’s going to happen. I’m pretty sure she’s mine now. I mean who else will ever fuck her till she passes out? Or give her the true support and care she really needs.
    Hope being my daughter? That would be fuckin’ awesome. We already work against Grace when we want something. I can already see how well she will be my partner in crime.
    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
    I have never been this damn decisive so damn quickly before.
    Shit, my dating past isn’t that big. One night stands have been here and there but never something like this.
    Since I was eighteen, I have had four serious relationships. Well, serious in the fact that they lasted longer than a month.
    I shake my head; my thoughts have been traveling all over the damn place all because of the beautiful woman in my arms.
    Looking down, I see Grace’s deep brown soulful eyes staring up at me. I’m not sure how long she has been watching me gather wool in my head but it probably has been for a while.
    “You look beautiful,” I say.
    She smiles at me and scoots up as I lean down to kiss her soft lips.
    “Thank you.”
    Wrapping my arm tightly around her, I look over at the clock. Fuck, we have less time than I thought.
    I really don’t want to fucking take her home. I need her with me in this bed all night.
    My lips press against hers and the arm I had around her slides down so that my hand is grabbing her juicy ass. Molding it in my hand, I tense up as she runs her hand up my chest, tickling my nipple before she touches my cheek.
    Pulling away from the kiss, I stare into her eyes and she is looking at me
