“That’s very possible,” I told him. “I know I loved him before he was ever born. I didn’t know him, but I loved him.”
His hand rested against my cheek. He lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me. I sighed into him. It was good to be loved by this man. His kiss was sweet and gentle. I felt him pulling me. I willingly went with him. “Ah, a bed,” I whispered.
“You have to admit a bed is so much better,” he said.
“Yes, it is.”
“What time do you have to pick up Jace?” he asked.
“I could call and ask Joss to pick him up,” I said slightly out of breath. His mouth was moving over my neck and setting off all kinds of fireworks in my brain.
“Do that and be fast,” he ordered.
“My purse is in the living room.”
“I’ll get it. You take off your clothes and be waiting for me in bed.”
He was out of the room before I could say anything. I wasted no time stripping out of my clothes. He came back just as I dropped my blouse.
“You’re taking too long to do that,” he said as he moved behind me. He handed me my purse as he kissed the back of my neck. I fished my cell out of my purse, dropping the bag to the floor. He had unhooked my bra and was nibbling at my neck while massaging my breasts.
I quickly tapped out a text message full of spelling errors, but she would understand the meaning. I waited for her to reply. Once I knew he was taken care of, I dropped my phone inside my purse and leaned back against him.
I dropped my head to the side, exposing my neck. His hands moved down my waist and pulled me back against the erection nestled against my ass. One hand slipped under my panties and over my slick folds. He made love to me with his fingers while his mouth roamed over my neck, nibbling and sucking until I was close to exploding.
“Take me,” I begged.
“I will. Just give me one little orgasm first. Let me feel your juices on my fingers. I want you slick and sticky.”
I moaned and let the orgasm flow over me, through me. “Oh yes,” I breathed.
“I love the way you come,” he whispered against my ear. “I love your sexy little gasps and the way you bite your lower lip while your body shudders.”
“I like when you make me come,” I said with a small laugh. “I’d like to make you come now.”
“Oh, you’re going to do that. Trust me.”
“I need you so badly,” I breathed. “I want this with you all the time. I love you.”
He growled and stepped back. “You didn’t get on the bed.”
“I didn’t quite make it.”
I heard a grunt and turned around. He was hopping on one foot and trying to get his pants off. I watched as he pulled off his clothes in rapid succession until he was standing naked. His chest heaved up and down as he stared at me. I pushed my panties down and joined him in his nakedness. We stared at each other.
“I love you,” he said in a low voice. “I’ve never said that to anyone. I love you. I don’t know if I’m going to be any good at it, but I’m going to try. I promise I will dedicate myself to making you happy.”
“That’s all I need,” I told him. “I don’t want you to be perfect. I’ve seen what you can do when you put your mind to it.”
He nodded and stepped toward me. “I’m going to fuck you in my bed and then your bed and then my bed again. I don’t mind the office quickies, but I want it like this. I want to lay you down and climb over you. I want to look into your eyes when I’m sliding into you. When I make you come again, I want to watch you and no more protection between us. I’m clean.”
I could hardly breathe. I nodded. “Okay,” I whispered. “I want that too.”
“I want to wake up with you in my arms,” he said. “Not just once in a while. Always.”
“I want that too.”
“I want breakfast in bed and lazy Sundays,” he said as he ran his fingertip down my arm.
I smiled. “We will absolutely have all of that.”
“Good. I want—”
“Nash?”
“Hmm?” he asked as he absently stroked up and down my arm. His eyes were locked on my breasts. My nipples pebbled into hard buds under his intense stare.
“Take me now,” I breathed.
His head popped up as he looked at me. In a flash, he was lifting me up and dropping me on the bed. He climbed over me and pushed inside me with one long stroke. I let out a long moan and raised my hips as my hands roamed over his back. I scraped my nails down his flesh. I heard him suck in a breath before letting out a long groan.
“Look at me,” I said.
His eyes locked on mine. He made love slow and easy. It was all about the sensuality. There wasn’t a race to the finish line. It was more of a sharing of souls. Our bodies joined while our hearts synced up. We were joined together as one.
“I love you,” he said while staring into my eyes.
I felt a flood of ecstasy fueled by the love I saw in his eyes. “I love you,” I said. A tear slipped down the side of my face. He bent forward and kissed it away. It was beautiful. It was the most romantic moment I had ever experienced.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he said. “I’m here to stay.”
I smiled and moved my hand to push back the hair hanging around his face. “Me too. Don’t run from me. I will chase you. I will be the crazy lady chasing down her man.”
“I am your man. If I try to run, chase me. Don’t let me escape. I might get cold feet, but you can pull me back.”
I nodded. “Okay.”
He moved again. The moment intensified, and soon, we were tumbling into oblivion together. He held me close, kissing away the tears that wouldn’t stop.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I am. I don’t know why I’m crying.”
“You’re sure?”
“Tears of joy. I’m overwhelmed with happiness right now. In all my wildest dreams, I never thought this moment would ever happen. I never thought you would be in my life. It’s a lot to take in.”
“I’m sorry you had to go through all of that alone,” he said.
“All of that?” I questioned.
“You raised a baby on your own. You went through pregnancy and birth all alone. I hate that I wasn’t there to help you with that. My friend’s girlfriend is pregnant right now. He makes it sound like a step above the seventh circle of hell.”
I laughed. “I don’t think it was quite that bad. There were rough days, but once Jace was here, it made it all worth it.”
“I’d like to see his baby book. I want to see every picture you have of him. I want to watch him grow up through your eyes.”
“Oh, I’m not sure you know what you are asking,” I said. “I was a bit of a lunatic in the first few months. I have a lot of pictures, but again, he isn’t grown up. There is still a lot to get through.”
“I’m going to be there for everything,” he said. “I promise I will take care of you and Jace.”
“We are doing okay,” I assured him.
“Let me do this,” he said. “I need to do something to feel like I’m helping.”
