Chapter 20 #2
She clutched tightly, feeling the angles of his muscles, his heartbeat so powerful that it drowned out her own.
She found herself being lost in the rhythm of his passion.
His body was hard and powerful, every part of it strong.
She could feel his arousal now, pressing against her.
She gently rolled him onto his back and wanted him to feel as good as she had felt.
She dragged herself down his body, leaving her hair trailing behind her, and then began to do something she had never done with Hamilton.
But with Logan, nothing seemed beyond her means.
He had opened her up to a world of possibilities, a world of lust and feelings and wild sensations that careened through her and took hold of her.
They were rampant, and it left her feeling breathless.
She could feel tension coiling within his body as though it was ready to spring out.
The air crackled with heat; she wanted to be scorched by him.
He brought her up and kissed her madly, cupping both hands around her face while her fervent body prickled with heat.
An inferno was born between them, and there was nothing that either of them could do to stop it, not that they wanted it to be stopped.
Amanda lost herself in his kisses and his moans and his grunts, letting him on top of her.
She felt him pressing against her. A thought flashed through her mind that she could not believe a man could be this big.
He was touching a part of her that Hamilton could never have reached, and yes, it was just as if it was her first time again.
Oh, how she moaned. Oh, how she writhed as this sweet surrender passed through her, eliciting a sense of delirium from within.
Her moans soared, and her toes curled, and the exquisite delight seemed endless as she was taken by the rhythm of his rolling hips and strong grip.
His heavy breaths were animalistic, and there did not seem to be anything that could stop him now.
There was a burning inside him, an energy that could not be contained.
Amanda clung to him tightly, feeling the sweaty, sticky flesh pressing against her body.
She caught him in kisses, she begged him with her eyes, and she lost herself to this feeling of love.
She was overwhelmed with passion when he finally erupted like a volcano, releasing all the tension that had been building up inside him, and she had taken it all.
It left her shaking and vulnerable, feeling liquid and weak, but so, so wonderful.
The stars seemed to dance around her eyes.
It felt as though the sun had fallen and was now her heart.
A blissful smile rested on her face because there was nothing more she wanted.
She had her happiness, and her heart was filled, and there was nothing left to do but sink into the sheets and bask in the glory of their love.
A little time had passed. Amanda and Logan had regained their breath. She was curled up beside him, idly playing with the hairs on his chest. His arm was draped around her, and they stared into space, thinking of all they had shared and all that was yet to come.
“I suppose it is time to think of the future,” Amanda said.
“Dae ye hae anything specific in mind?” Logan asked.
“Actually, yes. I was considering that we have a keep and an estate. I know that the keep is being used, but that’s still quite a lot of space for a single family.
And I was just thinking about the children…
Bram took advantage of their situation, but he was not the one who cast them out on the streets in the first place.
I fear there are going to be many more children who will suffer the same fate and I hate to think of them slipping through the cracks.
I want to make sure that these children have a place to go where they can be safe and given a chance to live a thriving life. ”
“I think that’s a grand idea. And ye think such a place is here?”
Amanda nodded. “Since we are not going to have any children of our own, why not open up our home to as many children as possible? Some may only stay for a short while, while others, like Lillie, might stay forever and become a part of our family. I feel that it is the right thing to do.”
“Aye, and I think ye might be right at that,” Logan said.
Amanda leaned up and kissed him. If she could not have a single child of her own, then at least she could help as many as possible.
She was already planning on changes she could make to the estate so that the children could sleep together in long rooms and hopefully form friendships that would last a lifetime.
They could learn skills that would help them get jobs in the future, and they would be able to prove themselves in a way that they would not have been able to otherwise.
Amanda sighed with happiness and allowed herself to drift into sleep. For such a long time, her life had been without direction, as had Logan’s, but now they were turning toward the horizon with a new purpose, a glorious destiny, and she knew she would be saving lives as they went on.
It almost made all the suffering worth it.
