HH01 - A Humble Heart (19 page)

until he found her hard little nub and then flicked it several times before he pulled it into his mouth to gently sucked on it. He

released it to run his tongue further south. He traced her opening with his tongue before he slowly buried his tongue inside of

her. He closed his eyes while his tongue slid in and out of her, savoring the sweet flavor of her arousal.

“Edward, please!” she begged. His tongue was driving her crazy. His response was adding two fingers. “Edward! Baby,

please!”

“What do you want?” he asked innocently.

“You!”

“You already have me. What in particular can I do for you?” he asked as he pulled back to flick his tongue over her clit

once again. She could feel his erection against her leg.

“Make love to me please, please, baby,” she moaned.

He moved his mouth up her body until he claimed her mouth again in a demanding kiss before grabbing her hips and

turning her around. She placed her hands on the back wall of the shower and spread her legs as she arched her back.

“You want this?” he asked, teasing her folds with his shaft.

“Yes! Please, fuck me!” She moved back against him, sliding against his erection, making them both moan loudly.

“Fuck!” he cursed as he pushed slowly inside her. “Fuck, you’re so fucking tight! How can that be?” he asked through

clenched teeth. “You have two babies, sweetheart, why are you tight?”

“C-sections,” she said simply.

He grabbed her hips and pushed in all the way. She was tight and hot and very accepting. He had to pause before he lost it

like a kid. Something occurred to him. “Baby, I don’t have a condom. I’ve never….oh, fuck this feels so good.” He dropped his

head back, panting. It felt like a hot silky vice. Never had anything felt this good.

“You’ve never gone all natural?” she asked, teasing him in a strained voice.

“No. I’ve never felt a woman wrapped around my dick without a rubber before. It feels so fucking good! Christ, I don’t

want to wear one now….fuck…..fuck….oh shit, I have to pull out,” he said in agony.

She reached back and grabbed his arm. “No you don’t. I’m fixed and most importantly I'm clean.”

“What?” he demanded as he suddenly stilled. “You can’t give me another child?”

“I can have more children. I just have to have the clips removed,” she said, trying to ignore how good the possessive tone

of his voice made her feel.

“Good,” he said, pushing back into her. He slowly thrust into her, enjoying the sensations he’d never experienced before

her. “You feel so good. Do you know how good you feel?” he moaned.

“Not as good as you,” she groaned. He was filling her better than any man ever had.

“It’s all for you, all yours, baby,” he groaned as he began to move faster in her. He reached between her legs and rubbed a

finger over the swollen nub. She began meeting his thrusts and moaned louder.

“Edward! Yes!” she screamed.

“Come for me, baby.” He closed his eyes and became speechless as she gripped and squeezed him into an orgasm so

powerful it had him seeing spots. He groaned her name and collapsed against her.

********

Edward sat up and smiled at the little boy standing in the doorway. The kids stopped calling him Uncle Edward after the

accident and began calling him Papa bear. He absolutely loved it and prayed that one day they would call him Daddy.

“Let’s not wake up Mommy. What do you need, buddy?” Edward asked, pulling on the underwear he dropped by the side

of the bed when he undressed to surprise Dana earlier.

“I’m hungry and firsty,” Cole mumbled.

“We’ll have to do something about that then,” Edward said. He kissed Dana on top of her head and walked over to Cole,

taking him into his arms.

“Can we have ice cream?” Cole asked eagerly.

“What would Mommy say?” Edward asked him.

“Let’s not tell her!”

Edward laughed at the little boy’s sly look. “Okay, little man.”

He scooped two bowls of chocolate ice cream for them. Halfway through his small bowl Cole began to drift off. Edward

wiped him down and returned him to bed and checked on Elizabeth before going back to bed.

He slowly crawled into bed. Dana was on her back and awake. “Everything okay?” she asked.

“Yup, just had to help Cole to the bathroom,” he said.

She kissed his lips. “Hmm, we have chocolate ice cream in the bathroom now? I see Cole has brought you over to the

dark side.”

He kissed her. “It was man time, sweetheart. You wouldn’t understand.”

“I guess not.” She deepened the kiss, enjoying the feel of his warm tongue gliding against hers. Her hands went down to

his waist and pushed his boxers down.

He moved on top of her and slid in without breaking their kiss. Dana wrapped her legs around his waist, giving him better

access. He thrust into her in one quick movement. They made love slowly for a half hour before Dana screamed her release

into his mouth for the fourth time. He greedily accepted it as he found his own moment. He broke away from her mouth and

squeezed his eyes shut as he thrust into her faster and harder. He wanted to stretch it out, but she was so damn hot and wet. Her

name escaped his lips in a growl.

He collapsed on her, panting. After a long moment he rolled over, pulling her on top of him while they were still

intimately joined. She fell asleep on his chest soon after. He joined her a few seconds later, grinning.

Amy picked her up at six o’clock. Deana was already in the house and crashing on the couch, trying to squeeze two more

hours in before the kids woke up. Edward was sleeping in bed. He didn’t have to be on set until nine that morning. He tried to

join Dana in the shower this morning, but she playfully pushed him away telling him to get more sleep. He grudgingly obeyed

and was soon fast asleep. He hadn't woken up when Dana kissed him goodbye.

Dana was nervous. For the last few months she learned the ins and outs of a set, but this was the first time she was going

to be working
on
the set. She usually sat in her trailer or outside working on a book. The only time she was on set was to catch

a scene. Now she was either going to make it or crash and burn in front of a hundred or so people.

Lucas James met her at the car. He was tall, built, tan and had short silky black hair, making him look dangerous and sexy.

She met him a week ago when he came to her house to meet with her and go over their lines. He seemed to already know

Edward and they got along really well.

Lucas put his arm around Dana’s shoulder and brought her inside. “Are you ready?” he asked.

“No,” she squeaked. He threw his head back and laughed.

Chapter 9

“Mommy, is Papa Bear coming home soon?” Elizabeth asked.

Dana gave her daughter a playful look. “Sweetie, I told you Papa Bear had to go to England for ten weeks to shoot his

film. Now tell me how long has it been?”

Elizabeth jumped up from her chair at the kitchen table and went to the calendar she’d been keeping for Edward. She

counted the weeks slowly then did it again when she didn’t reach the number she hoped for. “Nine weeks,” she said, sounding

miserable.

Dana bit her lip to stop from laughing. “It’s okay, honey. He’ll be home soon and he calls us every night.”

“I know,” she said, pouting as she laid her head on her arm. “I miss him.”

“Me too, sweetheart,” Dana said. The last nine weeks seemed to drag some days and speed by other days. Her film was

done, well her part was. She wasn’t really sure what they had to do now. She'd finished her book and finished their book with

online collaboration from Edward. She turned them in last week for Rick’s approval and red pen.

She also kept busy promoting two of her books as well as the upcoming release of
Christian and Bailey
movie. The

premiere was tonight and Edward was going to miss it. He would be attending the premiere in London instead. She missed him

so much.

“Mom, you have to get ready!” Elizabeth said. Dana looked at the clock. She had one hour to get dressed. Cole beamed

because he knew they were spending the night with Grandma Eleanor and Grandpa James. The kids were very close to

Edward’s family. They treated Elizabeth and Cole like they were Edward’s children and the kids loved it.

“Who’s your date, Mommy?” Cole asked.

“I’m bringing Uncle Lucas tonight.”

“I like Uncle Lucas. He’s funny,” Elizabeth said.

“I do too, he’s a good friend,” she said. And he was. He turned into a great friend over the last two months. Granted she

had to make out with him several times and do two love scenes with him. They joked and laughed before and after each

intimate action. They didn’t take it seriously, but it looked real. Did it ever. They were allowed to watch the video clips the

other day and she'd turned three different shades of red when she saw them. If she didn’t know better she would have thought

they were really having sex.

“Mommy, aren’t you going to eat?” Cole asked.

Her hand went to her stomach. “No, sweetie, I don’t want to get sick again.”

“Aunt Deana said you have butterflies in your stomach,” Elizabeth said.

Cole laughed a sweet baby boy laugh. “How did you get butterflies in your tummy, mommy?”

“It’s just a saying, baby man,” Dana said, kissing the top of his head.

“I have to get ready for Grandma,” Cole said. He jumped out of his chair and made his way to his room. She had to cover

her mouth with her hand to stop from laughing. Cole took over Edward’s fashion sense weeks ago, probably because he missed

him so much. Now Cole refused to wear a shirt inside the house. It was cute to see Cole walking around like Edward. He

really loved him.

“Hello!” Eleanor said, walking inside the house followed by James and Amy.

“Hey, guys,” Dana said. She hugged them both. Elizabeth ran to James. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

“How are you today, squirt?”

“Good, Grandpa, only one more week until Papa Bear comes home!”

“Yeah, I know. You know what that means?”

“No. What?” she asked, looking serious.

“That means we only have one more week to spoil you before he gets home!”

Her face lit up. “Oh yeah!”

James chuckled.

“Okay, I’m taking the little lady out to the car so we can discuss what junk food we plan on having behind your back,” he

said to the women.

“Where’s my little man?” Eleanor asked, looking around for Cole. She was securely wrapped around his little finger and

he knew and loved it.

“Here I am, Grandma!” Cole ran down the hall naked. The burns on his body were completely gone now. Thankfully he

didn’t have any scarring. He was a very fortunate little boy. They all were.

“You remind me so much of Edward sometimes it’s scary,” she said to Cole. That made his day.

“That’s ‘cause we’re weal men,” Cole said, puffing out his chest.

“Come on, little man, let’s get you dressed and grab your overnight bags,” Eleanor said before turning her attention to

Dana. “Good luck, sweetie. I’m sorry we can’t go tonight, but you know how much we love to see the kids.”

“I know and I really appreciate it, so much. You guys have been so helpful,” Dana said.

She waved it off. “These are our babies, too.” Cole took her hand and walked with her to his room. Amy and Dana

watched Cole’s little butt dimple with each step and broke out into giggles.

Deana burst into the house. “Okay, please tell me you are at least prepped to go.” She stopped in front of Dana and

gasped. “You look tired, pale and sick. What the hell?” She put her hand over her mouth and looked around to make sure the

kids didn’t hear her.

“I’m so nervous. I haven’t been able to sleep or eat.”

“You haven’t eaten?” Amy asked.

“No, my stomach keeps turning every time I think about it. I know everyone did a great job on the movie, but this is my

baby. And it’s about to come alive in less than two hours.” With that her stomach turned sharply. “Excuse me.” She made her

way to the bathroom and dry heaved.

“Dana, are you okay?” Amy asked.

“No, I am so damn nervous. What if I pass out or vomit on the red carpet?”

“Aim away from me okay,” Amy teased.

“Ha ha, very funny.”

“I was completely serious. If you vomit so will I.”

“Take a shower so we can get you dressed, Dana,” Deana said, gently prompting her towards the shower.

“Okay.” She looked in the mirror. She wondered if they could do anything about the bags under her eyes or her pale

complexion. Damn she missed her tan. She sighed, giving up and jumped in the shower. They had her dressed and dolled up

within a half hour.

Lucas was on time. He greeted her in his usual way, with teasing. “Wow, you look awful!”

She rolled her eyes. “Thanks, you’re so sweet.” She playfully slapped his arm.

“Well, since I’m doing you this great favor of escorting you when your man is out of the country I expect a favor in

return.”

“What?” Dana asked cautiously.

“I need someone for waltz lessons. It’s for a movie… Please.” He gave her a pathetic expression that made her laugh.

"Jill's unavailable?" she asked.

He sighed warily as he rubbed the back of his neck. "She skipped town again yesterday morning with my credit card.

When I get my hands on her I'm going to wring her neck," he said, only half joking.
