"That sounds lovely." Drew nods, grateful for the offer. "We've been meaning to try out this new café down by the beach. It's supposed to have really good drinks." He looks at Sammy again, who seems excited by the prospect of going somewhere new. "But we should probably get some food first," he adds with a small laugh. "Sammy here is always hungry."

"Wow, this is beautiful," Drew says as they sit down on the blanket near the water's edge. He looks around at the setting sun painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, reflecting off the gentle waves. "Thanks for bringing us here." He glances over at Sammy, who seems captivated by the sight as well. "This is just what we needed."

The confession hits Candy like a ton of bricks. Her eyes widen and she can't help but feel like a cheap whore, used by this man just to satisfy his needs. She tries to pull away, but Drew's grip on her hips tightens, keeping her firmly in place. Tears prick at her eyelids as she realizes the truth: Drew cares nothing for her, not really. He sees her as nothing more than a release.

"He doesn't love you." The words are like acid in Candy's heart. "You're nothing to him. Just another conquest." A bitter laugh escapes her. "Well guess what? You're nothing to me either." With that, she reaches down with her free hand and rips open his shirt, sending buttons flying. Then she grabs the front of his pants and tears those off as well.

a future where they can all be together and find happiness again. With each passing moment, the weight of their grief seems to lift just a little bit more, making room for new emotions to grow and flourish. For now, they'll focus on taking care of their little girl, knowing that as long as she's happy, they can weather any storm that comes their way.

Drew leans down to kiss Lucy softly on the lips before crouching beside Sammy. "Hey there, sweetheart,"

he whispers, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. "It's time to get up for school." Lucy smiles warmly at the sight, content knowing that everything is going to be alright now. Together, they lift Sammy into their arms and carry her off to start another day, full of love and promise.

Drew couldn't find the words to reply. He just stared into those beautiful brown eyes, lost in a haze of lust and need. The way she said his name sent shivers down his spine, and he could feel himself growing hard beneath his clothes. Without another word, he pulled her back against him, planting another hungry kiss on her lips.

Her hands slid down to his waist, gripping the fabric of his sweater as she arched into him.

As they continued their heated embrace, Drew became more and more lost in the sensations that Lucy was stirring within him. He could feel her body pressing against his growing erection, and it took all of his self-control not to groan out loud with pleasure.

Lucy moaned softly as she wrapped her legs around his waist, grinding against him in a way that made it clear exactly what she wanted.
