CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
LUKE
March
We hadthe best honeymoon in the history of honeymoons. Training camp had just ended, and I had plenty of extra time before the next round of hard-core training began. When I finally got rid of our family and friends, and got mywifealone in our suite, I made sure Mrs. Woods screamed my name repeatedly.
At one point, hotel security knocked on the door just to make sure I wasn’t hurting her. She assured him, with a permanent smile on her face and a sheet wrapped around her toga-style, that I was doing anything but hurting her. He left our door with a red face and an uncomfortable cough. My laughter could be heard echoing down the hall even after we closed the door.
Taking Andi back to the bedroom, I lay her on the bed and stripped the sheet away from her beautiful body. Taking her nipple, I sucked on it until the hardened peak formed in my mouth. Taking the other one between my thumb and middle finger, I gently rolled it back and forth as she moaned appreciatively under me.
Moving to the other side and lavishing it with the same attention, I moved my free hand down between her legs. “So ready for me, baby.”
Slowly sliding my finger back and forth over her core, spreading the wetness and readying her for me, I made her wait like she made me wait. Sweet torture, increasing her anticipation, I teased her by only sliding the tip of my finger inside her.
“Now, Luke,” she demanded, grabbing my hair and pulling it.
“What, baby? What do you want me to do?” I asked.
“I need you inside me, Luke. I need you now,” she begged.
Quickly sliding one finger completely inside her, I felt her muscles grab on to me as she took what I offered. Repeating my movements, I felt her body climbing higher and higher to that peak. As I added a second finger, she unraveled before my eyes.
“You’re mine now, Andi,” I growled at her. “You’re so fucking beautiful, I can’t wait anymore.”
“Then don’t wait. Take me now,” she gasped, pulling me to her.
Pushing forward fully into her, I groaned at the feeling of her wet, soft inner walls gripping me firmly. Her back arched then her hips lifted, giving me full access to her. I surged into her as I pushed her legs forward to increase the angle of my penetration, and she screamed loudly in pleasure as I emptied myself into her.
The next day, we left for a two-week honeymoon at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora. We made love every day and every night. We barely saw the ocean that surrounded our room. We barely left the bedroom to even eat. I had a lot to make up for from the time that we were apart and then the weeks when she made me wait.
Our time away was absolute perfection. The stresses of everyday life were left behind, and we were able to focus on just our relationship. During one particular night of lovemaking, tears leaked from her eyes, running down her temple. I stopped and just gazed into her eyes.
“What is it, baby?” I asked.
“I love you, Luke. You have no idea how much I missed you. I thought I’d lost you forever,” she cried.
“You never lost me. You’ll never lose me because I know I don’t want to live without you. I tried it, and I’ve never been more miserable in my life. You make my life worth living. No one can ever take your place in my heart.” I comforted her.
“No one else would ever put up with me, either,” I added, prompting a smile from her. “I love everything about you, Andi. Your heart, your smile, how you’re fearless, your trust, your beautiful voice, your gorgeous face, your rocking body. And I especially love this tattoo,” I said, holding up her ring finger with my name on it. “See this little pinky finger right here? You have me completely wrapped around it. I’m never going anywhere.”
“You’ll never be rid of me, either. If you try to leave me, I’ll just follow you wherever you go. I’ve learned to depend on you, let you protect me, and thoroughly love me. You broke down the walls I’d built around myself, and now that you’re inside, I can’t let you leave,” she replied.
The day we left from our honeymoon, Andi looked around the island oasis and smirked at me. “We’ll have to come back here soon. We didn’t get to see much of the scenery outside of our room over the last two weeks.”
“Anytime you want, I’m with you,” I agreed.
One month after we returned from our honeymoon, Andi met me at the door when I got home from the gym and handed me a plastic stick. When I looked at it, I got the surprise of my life.
PREGNANT.
“Really?” I asked and she nodded, beaming as bright as the sun. Gathering her in my arms, I picked her up off the floor and held her tightly.
“Are you happy?” she asked pensively.
“I’m more than happy, baby. I’m thrilled,” I told her as I released her. “Maybe it would’ve been better if we’d waited and had more time alone first, but I wouldn’t change it now for the world. It happened because it’s meant to be. Are you happy?”
