“I’m not.” I looked up at my father, who had the same height as Law.
“I never thought I’d ever see someone look at you the way I look at your mother.”
“You think he does?” I glanced over my shoulder at where Law was sitting at the table, with his hands on his knees, watching us intently.
“Anya.” My father saying my name brought me back into the moment. “I’m sorry for not showing you that kind of love.”
“Dad…” I felt a pang in my heart at the thought he was apologizing.
“Let me finish.” We continued to dance in the middle of the floor. “I should have been there, should have shown you adoration. It shouldn’t have been enough that I showed your mother that. I should have been a better father.”
“You were an amazing father.”
“Let me clarify then.” He stopped our moves and looked down at me. “I should have been a better dad to you, Anya. We should have been better parents than guardians.”
I understood what he meant now.
“Can I cut in?” Law came up behind us and asked.
“It would be my pleasure.” My father held out my hand to Law and the exchange we’d had was left and the space grew between us as he left the floor and took my mother into his arms. They stood there on the edge of the dance floor and I knew them being here was what I never expected, but it was everything to me. To us. It was something I hoped we would be able to build in the future as Law and I built our own family.
“You look sad.” Law leaned down into me and nipped the bottom of my ear.
I giggled and pulled away. “Just reminiscing.”
“About what?”
“Life.”
Law grabbed for my hand and when I thought he was going to start our next dance, he surprised me instead by tossing me over his shoulder and storming out of the barn. Cheers followed us as Law made it to the truck. He picked me and deposited me in the seat and started the engine. The sound carried us away and back to our place.
There was no radio, just the windows down, the now night sky and the new fall wind blowing through my hair. I stuck my hand out the window and soaked it in as the rest of the world passed us by. In that moment we weren’t part of it. We were something completely different. Something new that was about to burst open.
Law didn’t slow as he came onto the farm and parked the truck in front of the house. I jumped out and ran to the door, waiting for him to carry me inside. I held my wedges in my hand, having taken them off in the car, and when Law stood there next to me I placed my arm around his neck and he lifted me up.
My legs dangled in the air and I opened the door for us as Law carried me inside and kicked the door closed behind him. He took the stairs next, effortlessly walking up each step, unlike the night when he had proposed. I laughed to myself, remembering that night, trying to figure out how a whole month had passed between then and now.
We moved into the bedroom and Law tossed me onto the bed. I lay there looking up at the ceiling as I heard Law rustle with his clothes. I sat up and started to unclasp the top of my dress and let it fall to my waist.
Law stopped his movements on getting his shoes off to stare at me half naked.
“Keep going.” I urged him.
He slipped off both of his shoes and then started to take off his pants and then he was left there in just boxers and sweat that was starting to form across his body. It was most definitely not from any heat.
“Come here.” Law beckoned me toward him, his hands coming to my waist and slipping my dress down my hips to where it pooled at my feet. His fingers traced over the valleys of my body, from breasts to hips to ass. I shivered at each touch and it made me crave us together even more.
“Law.”
“Let me enjoy this.”
And I let him.
He pushed me onto the bed and continued his journey across my body. His fingers kneaded me as he went from section to section across me. I moaned and lifted my body off the bed, begging his hands to work harder, to worker faster.
“Shhh.” Law pushed down on my stomach as his tongue started the same torturous pathway across my stomach his fingers just had. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back as his mouth connected with my core. Tingles shot through me when he sucked down on my clit and when he entered a finger, I let out a moan that sent a blush across my whole body.
He moved himself up my body, positioning himself perfectly above me. He had managed to take his boxers off and now his hard as a rock cock was pointing straight at me. It wanted just what I wanted, but Law was the one who was making us both wait.
