Chapter 28 #3
I inhale and sigh as the pleasure courses through me. I clench around his cock, still rocking, prolonging the release. Then I’m leaning forward to hold the headboard as I bounce on his dick.
“Slow down, Tre.”
“No. Come.”
His hand lands across my ass.
“Giving orders now?”
“Yes.”
Spank.
“Since when?”
“Whenever I want.”
Spank.
“So, you’re in control now?”
“Making you come proves it.”
Spank.
This breathless exchange only makes me ride him faster and harder.
He spanks me four more times before rolling us once more.
Sweat trickles down his temple and drips onto my chest. My hands run up and down his back.
My fingernails graze along his spine, loving the hollow created because his back’s so developed.
The man certainly didn’t skip leg day. No skinny calves and an ass you can crack a walnut on.
I hold onto it, pressing on it, encouraging him to go faster and harder.
“You’re wearing away my control, Tre.”
“You’ll never hurt me. Come, please.”
Rather than begging to get off, now I’m begging to make him come.
“You first.”
He shifts slightly, hitting precisely where I need to set me off all over again. I dig my heels into the mattress bringing my hips up to meet his. My hands move to his waist, holding onto him as we move in tandem.
“Come. I want to make you come… Please let me make you come… Please.”
He dives in for an aggressive kiss, his tongue forced nearly too far down my throat. His hips slam into me several more times before he rips his mouth away. His back arches, and all his muscles strain as he floods my cunt with his cum.
“Fuck, baby girl. You did.”
He lowers himself onto his forearms, then his elbows, sliding his arms beneath me.
I curl around him like a bear cub learning to climb a tree.
We hold onto each other until we’re too hot and sticky.
He eases out of me, and I worry I’ll be sleeping in a puddle.
He climbs off the bed and scoops me into his arms before I can move.
He carries me into the bathroom and sets me on the counter while he starts the shower.
Once we’re under the water, our bodies pressed together to share the spray, we wrap our arms around each other in a loose embrace.
“Joaco, do you know why I love you so fucking much?”
“Because I’m a great lay?”
He smiles, and he looks so boyish. My heart melts at his lopsided grin.
“It’s when you look at me like that. That smile that only your family and I get.
The moments you let me in, and how special that makes me feel.
I love you for how dedicated you are to me—my happiness, my safety, my health, my everything.
I’ve had men willing to die for me around me my entire life.
Whether it was an occupational duty or a familial obligation, I knew it was there because they had to be. You choose to be. You choose me.”
“Every single time, Tre.”
“There are so many ways you could’ve handled hearing that I’m pregnant.
I never feared you’d abandon me, but I wasn’t sure how eager you’d be.
You’ve been so honorable in respecting my choices and supporting the things I want.
I see how you are with your family. How seriously you take the duties you have to them and to the people your family provides for.
Because you love me, you navigated being around my family.
I know how hard it was for you to be in enemy territory and to make nice with my dad. You did it for me.”
“Always, Tre.”
“Love, honor, loyalty, and duty. That’s you to your very core. I’ve never met a man I admire more. Never met a man I could possibly love more. Baby or not, my life and your life are now our life.”
I watch him swallow, and his eyes appear a little misty. His voice shakes a little as he speaks.
“I love you for all those reasons too. It’s why we make sense together.
We share those same values because nothing is more important to us than family.
Your family, my family, our family. I love your strength to handle every test we’ve faced, and there have been far more than you should ever have to deal with.
They’re also just a fraction of what we’ll face. ”
“Together always, Joaco.”
“I love you for your resilience. I’m emotionally and physically exhausted from the last two months.
I keep going because there’s no other option.
To give up is to leave you alone. I can’t and won’t do that because there’s no one I love more than you and our baby.
If I feel this way, I can’t imagine how you carry on. Your spirit is amazing.”
“There’s no other choice for me either. I have two lives to live for—yours and our baby. I’m not letting some outsider take that from me. Let them decide our fate. Let them steal our future. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. You are mine, and I am yours, and this baby is ours.”
“I love you.”
We speak at the same time, tenderness and resolve laced through our words. May God have mercy on the souls of whoever did this because we won’t.
