Epilogue
Sadie
“Will you hurry up?” I stifled a giggle as I tugged Jeremiah’s hand.
“I’m just making sure she’s really asleep,” he whispered, looking back one more time at Ayah sleeping in her crib.
“She’s really asleep.” I tugged him harder until we were both out the door.
Him being a good dad was only making him sexier, which was why my hand immediately fell to his belt. He looked down as my hands worked the buckle, before raising a brow as he gave me that smirk that made my knees weak.
“Someone is impatient today…” he said with a tsk.
“We don’t have much time until she wakes up,” I insisted. “So hurry up and take your pants off.” I turned and started walking to our bedroom.
I heard Jeremiah’s hurried footsteps behind me, and soon his hand gave me a little slap on the behind, making me squeal. I started running as he chased after me, taking his clothes off as he went. I looked back and laughed at him working the buttons of his shirt as he stumbled after me.
“I don’t see you removing any clothing,” he called after me as he paused to work the last button.
I looked back and gave him a knowing smile before tugging my gray sweater dress over my head.
His eyes darkened as he watched me. He peeled off his white button-down, tossing it on the floor, adding to the trail of our clothes.
I stopped just outside the bedroom door to take him all in.
He was practically naked, except for his briefs that hung just below the deep V of his abdomen.
I swallowed hard, anticipating what was ahead.
He strode toward me until he was just inches away.
He could still take the air out of me with just that look in his icy blue eyes.
He ran his hands up my sides, his fingertips like feathery kisses taking over every part of me.
He leaned down and kissed me just as lightly on the mouth before gripping my hips tightly and hoisting me up.
My legs wrapped around him as he carried me to the bed.
He laid me down and I sunk into the plush duvet.
As he stood over me, he pulled his briefs down, revealing his glorious length already ready for me.
My eyes dipped to it before meeting his again.
His lip twitched upward as he hovered over me, his fingers sliding under my lace thong and pulling it down my legs slowly.
I reached behind my back and unhooked my bra, making it one less thing between us.
His eyes roved over my body, making me squirm under his gaze.
He lowered himself onto me, nudging my legs open with his knee.
I willingly obliged, welcoming his erection as it grazed my thighs.
I reached up and pulled him in for a kiss, plunging my tongue in his mouth, desperate to taste him.
He groaned, sending a vibration through me just as his tip nudged against me.
Already longing for him, I adjusted my hips and he slipped inside slowly.
I let out a breathy moan as my hands ran up his arms rippled with muscle as he held himself over me, slowly thrusting into me. Our mouths moved to the same rhythm, each thrust we breathed each other in deeper. My hands moved to his back, my fingers digging into his damp skin, asking for more.
He gave it to me. Moving faster. More desperately.
I wrapped my legs around his lower back, giving him more access and he took it.
A low rumble of a growl ran through him as he gripped the duvet on either side of my head, pushing into me harder.
Further. I pulled away from our kiss to watch him.
The way his mouth parted slightly as his breath heavied.
The way his eyes watched our union before finding mine, a deeper shade of blue.
My breath quickened and soon I could feel him release.
I lifted my hips, grinding myself against him to get every last drop and lost myself in the sensation.
I let out a throaty scream before collapsing back onto the bed.
He lay on top of me for a moment, as I still savored the feeling of him inside me, before he rolled off.
We lay there staring up at the ceiling trying to catch our breath.
Right on cue, I could hear Ayah’s cries coming from down the hallway. I sighed heavily, trying to gather myself.
“At least she waited until we finished.” Jeremiah chuckled.
“Finish we did,” I said nipping at his bottom lip with my teeth before rolling out of bed. I was just putting on my robe to go get our daughter when my phone rang from the nightstand. I glanced at the screen. It was Gabriella.
“I’ll get her,” said Jeremiah, glancing at my phone. He pulled himself from the bed and quickly walked to the closet to dress.
“Thanks,” I said, watching him go.
I grabbed my phone and answered it. “Hello?”
“Hey…” said Gabriella. Right away I could tell something was off. Just one word was all it took for me.
“What’s wrong?” My voice dropped.
“Sadie,” she said, her voice thin. “Something happened. I…I think I’m in trouble.”
