“It’s okay. I knew it was going to be bad. But the embezzlement? That was a shocker even to me. I bet my grandaddy is dancing in the sky right now. He always made noise about Robert Sutton being a good-for-nothing scuzz bucket. Of course, he waited until I formed my own opinion about my parents. I probably should have never gone back to their house, you know?”
“People do some shady shit, and don’t beat yourself up. Parents aren’t supposed to be like those two. Tomorrow will be better, the day after that even better. It’s only going uphill from here, sweetheart.” Leo’s lips meet mine, slow at first, almost tentative, as if I’m fragile. The truth is, I probably would be worse off if Leo weren’t here to pick up the pieces along the way.
That’s not what I sense right now. I feel the love I have for Leo coming off in waves and need to let him know.
“Leo,” I moan against his lips, reluctantly pulling back. I lick my own lips trying to get the words to come out in a way that conveys everything I feel for him.
“Oh no, you don’t. It’s written all over your face. You aren’t saying it first.” Leo’s voice is gruff, like he means business. I let the air out that I was inadvertently holding.
“What did you think I was going to say first?” I play along with him. He moves our bodies so we’re facing each other, cupping my cheeks in both of his palms.
“Funny girl, you were going to say you love me, and sweetheart, you have to know how much I love you already. Fuck what others might say, the shit that has been thrown at you, you’re mine, and that’s the only thing that matters. Tinsley Sutton, I love you.” He says those three words slowly, a breath a part, making sure I can see the meaning behind them.
“I love you, Leo.” My voice is low, barely above a whisper. My lips meet his, needing to taste him. Our tongues tangle. I’m on my back in an instant, Leo’s body hovering above me, my legs spread open, allowing his hips to settle between mine. The sexual headiness always burns this brightly between us. “I have so much I want to say, I could write a three-hundred-page book on what you mean to me.” The words tumble from my lips.
It’s a bone-deep need to be around Leo, to feel his presence surround me, listen to him talk about everything and nothing. The way Leo’s laugh comes deep from his soul, that he cares for his family with every depth of his being.
“I know you do, sweetheart. Now, you want to finish watching the news or maybe enjoy the hot tub?” He arches his eyebrows, knowing how I’ve been longing to make use of it, especially with Leo. The fantasies have been running rampant, him fisting my hair as he takes me deep. Leo swallowing my moans as he makes me cry out with pleasure, or me sucking his thick cock as he sits on the edge while the jets tease my clit, causing us both to go over the edge.
“I’ll beat you there!” I move from underneath him, Leo allowing it so he can watch me strip as I make my way to the back door. I can finally breathe. For the first time since my grandaddy died, I feel like I’ve found the place where my soul feels at rest.
Leo’s body fits to mine from behind, his skin against my own, the heat seeping from us.
“I think I won this time.” His hands engulf my breasts, causing me to tip my head back. My center is already achy and needy.
“We both win this round.” We make our way outside and take advantage of the hot tub and everything it has to offer.
Epilogue
Leo
Six Weeks Later
“What, do you have super sperm or something?” Tinsley says after coming out of the bathroom, a test in her hand. We both knew it was a possibility it could happen. I shrug my shoulders. I’ve got nothing to feel bad about.
“You can’t blame me for all of that. Maybe you have super eggs?” I joke back with her.
“One time, that’s all it took. I’m blaming your sperm, that’s all there is to it.” She’s acting like this is a huge deal, but I see the smile playing on her face. It’s all so telling.
“Come here, crazy girl.” Tinsley runs. I brace myself as she jumps into my arms, her legs clamping tightly around my waist.
“I’m so freaking excited. I mean, sure, it’s really soon, but we’re ready, right?” she questions.
“Fuck yes, we’re ready. Though this means no more using the hot tub while you’re pregnant.” I think back on the last time we had sex in there. She was bent over the ledge. Fingers gripping the side so hard her fingers were opaque. Her hair was wet, my hand fisting her locks, the other one holding on to her hip, keeping her steady. Her cunt was right in front of the jet, causing her thighs to tremble even though her knees were on the bench. When she moaned, “I’m coming, Leo,” she almost took me with her. I pulled out at the last minute, used the globes of her ass to thrust my cock back and forth, wondering not for the first time if she’d let me take her ass. Tinsley’s adventurous, but that’s not something we’ve talked about yet.
Her hand reached beneath her body. I thought she was going to play with herself while I got off while using her ass cheeks. She shocked me when instead, her fingers found my balls, rolling them around in her hand, tugging on them, trying to push me over the edge like only she can do. I let her hair go, both of my hands grabbed her hips, and I prayed she was already pregnant, or she’d get on birth control in the next week because there was nothing better than coming deep inside her pussy. That thought was what pushed me over the edge. I painted the globes of her ass checks with my cum before almost falling on top of her. I barely caught myself, but she used her hand that was just on my balls to move my body closer to hers.
“It only gets better, Tinsley,” I crooned in her ear, causing her body to shiver, and it wasn’t from the cool weather either.
“I know,” she whispered. We cleaned up shortly after that. I carried her to bed, where she slept heavier than Tinsley usually did. It’s what prompted me to pester her today until she took the test.
“Well, that kind of sucks, but on a brighter note, we don’t have to worry about birth control for the next few months,” she states. Her arms are looped around my shoulders, her smile shining brightly.
“That means I can come inside you every fucking time.” I move my hips so she can feel just what she’s doing to me.
“Yes, please!” I find that spot on her collarbone, kissing it first before traveling to her lips. I need this woman more and more each day. Adding to our family will only make life that much better.
“I guess I need to make that happen now.” We turn around, her still wrapped up in my arms as I carry her to bed, where we make love until both of our bodies are bone tired. My thoughts go back to her parents. If they hadn’t pulled the stunt they did, who knows what could have happened to Tinsley, the mother of our future children, the woman I know I’ll be hauling ass to the courthouse and marrying within the week. I think I can speak for the both of us that things work out for the best, and the Suttons are definitely spending a whole lot of time in a new house, a concrete and reinforced steel house, that is.
That last thought puts a smile on my face, curling into Tinsley’s back, falling asleep to her scent and warmth surrounding me.
