I gripped his beard and massaged it.
“You don’t have to apologize for that, because it was my fault the two of you had it out. For that, I’m sorry. I’m just glad we all worked it out, and we don’t have to sneak around anymore. It was fun though.” I smirked.
“Let me find out you like sneaky shit,” Coye teased as he tickled my stomach.
My giggles filled the otherwise quiet room. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but it didn’t matter because I didn’t have anywhere to go. I took a few days off from the cookie shop to allow myself some time to grieve. I knew it would take longer than a few days, but I also knew I couldn’t sit around and not do anything.
“Okay, okay.” I squirmed, trying to get away from him, but he kept a tight grip on me.
When he finally gave up tickling me, he kissed my lips.
“I ain’t gonna lie, it was kinda fun.” He kissed me again.
I traced the tattoos on his chest since he was now bare-chested. I let my finger trail down the middle of his chest until I reached the band of his boxers.
His dark eyes followed my finger, and he tilted his head when I stopped.
“What you trying to do, River?” His voice lowered, making my pussy throb.
“What are you trying to do, Coye?”
I yelped when he flipped me over onto my back and climbed on top of me. I opened my legs to give him space to get in between them.
Coye grabbed both of my arms, put them over my head, then intertwined our hands. My heart thumped against my chest as he stared into my eyes. I felt my cheeks flush.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you are so fucking pretty.” He kissed my shoulder. “And because you are mine.” He kissed the other shoulder. He released one of my hands, and I felt him pulling his boxers down.
Anticipation filled me because I felt how hard he was against my thigh. It seemed like it had been so long ago since the last time we had sex. Dealing with my dad and not talking to Coye, having sex was the last thing on my mind. Now, I needed it. I needed a release and an escape from the ache in my heart.
With his dick at the entrance of my pussy, he asked, “And you know what else?”
He rubbed his dick up and down my slit.
“No.” I moaned as my back arched off the bed.
“I love you,” he confessed as he slid his dick inside of me.
The feel of him stroking me and him confessing his love, had my emotions all over the place. Tears slipped from my eyes. His eyes said the same thing his mouth did. So did each stroke.
Coye’s movements were unhurried, like we had nowhere else to be, and technically, we didn’t.
“I love you, too.” I cried as I came. All my emotions, good and bad, came pouring out of me as I continuously came.
“Let it all out, baby.” Coye groaned. He kept his pace steady.
I felt dizzy because of how hard I came multiple times. I closed my eyes and let the tears continue being released.
By the time we were done, I was spent. I didn’t want to do anything but go back to sleep. Coye quickly cleaned us up and got back in bed.
“I love you for real, River. You’ve been my girl since the first time we kissed, but it’s official now,” Coye said as he kissed my shoulder.
“I won’t argue with you.” I yawned and backed up into him.
He wrapped his arms around me, and within seconds, I had fallen asleep.
Things had been slowly returningto normal over the last few weeks. River and I spent time when we could, but she had gone back to work, so it wasn’t as much as I would have liked. Some days, I went by to help her make the cookies for the day, or I would stop by during my lunch hour just to see her face. I just wanted to always be with her. If I didn’t think she would say no, I would have asked her to move in, but I knew that was moving too fast.
