“I’m not sure. They’ve only been together a shorttime.”
“True. But in my family, time is nothing, as you know, sinceBlake and Ruby got married so fast, and Zack and Kate aren’t toofar behind, same with Austin and Whinny. My mama and daddy weren’ttogether more than six weeks when they tied the knot, too.” I lickmy lips and turn around, placing the bag back on the side table,and I wrap my arms around her. “But everyone’s story is different,love. What’s right for others isn’t necessarily what’s right forus. To me, as long as we’re together and happy, there aren’t anyrules.”
Her eyessearch mine. “I love you so much.”
“I love you, too, darlin’. More than I can say.” I kiss herlips, sucking the bottom one tenderly.
“What’s say I keep the outfit…I’ll always remember that smileon your face when you gave it to me.”
“And I’ll always remember that smile on your face when youfirst saw it. I couldn’t pass that up, sweetheart. Anything to makeyour eyes light up like that again. Never saw such a sight as whenyou looked in that store window and saw the littlething.”
Shesmiles.
“There it is again, darlin’.”
“You have got to be the sweetest man alive, you know that.”Her voice is soft, sincere, and her eyes are on my lips.
“Truthfully, y’all seem to bring that out in me, darlin’.Nobody else ever made me like this…just you.”
Her lipspart and she tilts her head, enveloping her mouth with mine,sliding her tongue inside softly, sweeping over mine, giving metingles all over, but mostly south of the belt. I lift her feet offthe floor, carrying her to the bed, and gently lay her down,hovering over her. My lips lift off hers and my fingers combthrough the hair at the sides of her face. Her glance is dividedbetween both my eyes as I say to her. “Ain’t nothin’ or nobody canever tear us apart, darlin’. I love you no matter what. No matterif we’re married or if we have a baby, or if it’s just you and meand this here baby outfit as a memory. I’m yours forever, andthat’s the truth.”
I watchher blink back tears and I plant another soft kiss on her lipsbefore she says. “What you just said.” And scoffs softly, lost forwords.
We bothchuckle before she sniffs, and I wipe a tear away that falls downthe side of her face. Our gazes are locked for a moment, as I tellher again how much I love her, with my eyes, and then she raisesher lips to mine, and I envelop them, before sliding my tongueinside, hearing a soft groan come from her throat. The sound makesmy cock twitch with need, and I push my pelvis gently into hers,letting her feel it. Her legs wrap around my waist as we kiss likelovers, the way I’ve wanted to kiss her for days.
Herhands explore my hair as her back arches, hungry for my touch.Finding the hem of her blouse, I lift it out of her skirt, andskate my fingers up the inside, feeling her soft skin. Palms down,I reach under her bra, gently pinching her nipples between myfingers, and she begs me to take her blouse off. Obliging, I slowlyundo the buttons, making her squirm as my lips touch her skin aftereach button is loosened. I help her wiggle out of it, and shepractically rips my shirt off, making me chuckle.
“I couldn’t wait to get that off.” She pants.
“I can tell, sugar.” I snuffle a chuckle, as I kiss the fleshspilling out from her bra. Back arched, Ellie groans, reaching forthe zipper on my jeans, and I lift, aiding her, tucking my tongueinside the lace of her garment, driving her crazy, based on herheavy exhale. Her nipples are already beaded from my touch as Iundo the bra, while she unzips my jeans and loosens the button,stuffing her hand inside. When she feels my hardness, and I feelher hand encircle it, making me nuts, we throw caution to the windand make a team effort of removing our clothes, going forspontaneity instead.
Whenwe’re skin-to-skin, I rest my forehead on hers, reveling in thefeel of her body and her wetness against my most sensitive part, asshe wriggles closer, forcing my hardness to slide inside her. We’rea mess of kissing and exploring each other’s bodies with our handsand mouths as I move inside her, while we reciprocate the deeppleasure to each other. As her body tightens, hugging my cock soclose, I can barely hold on, she cries out as I feel her quiver,driving my climax out of me so fiercely, my eyes close tightlyshut.
As ourbodies unfurl, and soften after release, I rest my head on hershoulder as she snakes her arms around my neck. Our chests rise andfall quickly as we catch our breath, and I finally lift my head,searching her eyes. “We’re so great together, darlin’.” I whisper,semi-breathlessly. “I love you so much.”
“I love you, too.” She says, but her eyes look different,almost whimsical. “Sex is a lot different after those three words,isn’t it.” She says as more of a statement.
“Sure is.” I rub my nose on hers. I slide over next to her aswe hold each other close. Then I realize something. “Shoot, sugar.I completely forgot about protection.”
“Doesn’t matter. We used protection before and look whathappened.” She guffaws softly.
“Now, baby, don’t say that. I was just unprepared. I’ll makesure to carry at least one on me now.” I chidegood-naturedly.
Shesighs. “You think Sloane’s okay?”
“I think if she wasn’t okay that she would call, darlin’. Youworry too much.” I kiss her shoulder, rubbing her back.
“She said that Jacob was in shock, but it was good shock, youknow?”
“Well, that’s a good sign, sweetheart. I don’t really knowJacob well enough to determine his reaction to something like that,but I know how I felt, and he’s a decent guy, so I’m sure it’ll beokay.”
“You’re right.” She exhales, snuggling closer to me.“Sometimes I mother Sloane more than our own mother does, I think.We’ve always been close like that.”
“Ain’t nothing wrong with that. I’m close with all mybrothers, too.”
“How’s Gunner?”
“He’s fine. Going back to school, but staying local thistime.”
