He took a deep breath. That was true.
“Grans
was angry. First time she’d ever raised her voice to me and said I’d ruined my
life
.
And
you know how forceful she can be? She mad
e Travis propose to me. He didn’t hesitate
,
and he asked me right before
you caught us together.”
“Shit, I never knew. God, I wish I’d known all this.”
“Can you forgive me?
”
He looked down, momentarily lost for words. If she’d asked him that eight years ago the answer would have been
“N
o, I can, never ever forgive you
”,
but they’d moved on. “Soph, I won
’t
lie and tell you my heart was
n’t
broken. It shattered into tiny pieces
,
but we all make
mistake
s
,
which means we also have to eventually forgive one another.” He looked up at her.
“
And the baby? Does this mean you and Travis have a child in
Seattle
?”
Sophie shook her head as a tear flew off her face.
“Nope, I had a miscarriage six weeks
after we
got
married.”
Wade rubbed his hands over his face. He hadn’
t expected to hear any of this, not tonight, not ever.
He had to admit he was shocked
.
“And you and Travi
s never tried for more?”
“No, I wanted to
,
but Travis decided he wasn’t father material. That’s why we got divo
rced.”
He pulled her in close and kissed the top of her head
again
.
“I’m so sorry.”
“Yeah, the whole thing was a big stupid mistake.”
“And you didn’t think
about coming back to
Greenville
after your divorce?”
“I guess I was too embarrassed to face everyone. I know some people did hate me for goin
g off with Travis
,
but
Gran said she’d never reveal my secret unless I wanted her to.”
“Soph, I just wish I’
d known. I mean all these years
you’ve kept this secret to yourself.”
She kissed him.
“Can we never mention any of this ever again?” asked Sophie.
“It’s fine with me.”
He looked at her. If only he’d been there for her, protected her. Gone to
Seattle
to see her w
hen she and Travis parted ways they might
have worked things out…even been
married
by
now.
“However, you have to promise me no
more secrets between us ever, okay?”
He
wrapped his arms around her
and squeezed her tight
,
hoping she’d never leave his bed. Never leave his life and
Greenville
ever again. This was where she belonged
,
and even if she didn’t think that
,
too
, he’d move heaven and earth to convince her otherwise.
Wade kissed her cheek and then her neck, making a silly noise against her skin.
“That tickles me,” said Sophie.
“Good, that’s what I wanted it to do.”
He ran his hands over her breasts and pulled at her nipples. They turned to tiny buds in his fingers.
“You feel like making love again,” he whispered in her ear.
“Oh
yeah.
I’d love to make up for all our
lost time. H
ow about you?”
“I co
uld make love to you all night, all day, all eternity.”
Sophie turned around and pushed him onto his back. “Then why don’t you?”
“I’m game if you are.”
She slid one leg over his thigh. “Okay
,
cowboy
,
you like it when a cowgirl takes charge.”
“I love it.
I can just lie here and let her do all the work.”
Wade took a d
eep breath when he felt Sophie s
liding down his body.
Oh boy, he wasn’t expecting her to take him into her mouth. He closed his eyes as her fast little tongue ran over his shaft, flicked its head
,
and then she caressed his balls.
He liked it, loved
it a lot. He ran his hands throug
h her hair, feeling its
silkiness
against the
rough skin of his fingers.
“Soph, I’m not going to ask how you learned to do this because I don’t want to know
if it was
with
Travis or some other guy
,
but whoever it was they taught you well.”
She lifted his balls slightly and took his cock deep into
her mouth. He had to pace himself. If
he let himself go he’d ruin it
. He’d
come
,
and when he did he wanted to be inside Sophie again.
“Soph, stop.”
She did. “Something wrong?”
“Yep, you drive me crazy
,
and I want to be inside you when I see fireworks better than
Greenville
’s Fourth of July display.”
She lifted her body off his, parted her thighs some more and then spread herself open.
What a sight to
beh
old,
pink, luscious, glistening
.
Sophie took his cock and eased him inside her. Her warmth gripp
ed and welcomed him as she lowered
herself down and sat her body on the top of his thighs.
What he wouldn’t give to stay like this
for all
eternity. She rocked a little
,
sending his cock tipping backwards in her pussy. It was tight, hot
,
and he loved it. She rocked some more before lifting her thighs slightly and then gently easing back down on him. The movement made a smacking
nois
e as she picked up her pace
,
all the while
her breasts swa
ying and nipples shaking with each movement.
Sophie rolled her head back and lifted up her arms like she was riding the mechanic bull at the bar just outside of town.
She
raised them straight up, causing
her breasts
to lift higher. He reached up, stroking her taut belly as she swayed and whimpered.
She was beautiful all the time
,
but when she enjoyed her climax, well, her face was a work
of art with its flushed cheeks and pretty eyes.
“Wade, Wade, I’m…”
“What honey?
”
“I’m…
He pushed upwards to help her get there and almost laughed when sh
e screamed and shouted. He wandered if his neighbors were home and if they were, if they’d heard her. Holy crap, the wolves in
Yellowstone
Park
probably had.
Wade hoped she didn’t mind what he did next. He sat up, got hold of her and in one fluid movement set her on her left side on his bed and dived back into her. Gripping her hips
,
he pounded into her.
He played with her nipples, tugging and rolling them, kissing her neck, nipping at it as his own orgasm built. One more thrust an
d he saw those fireworks and
filled her.

Sophie
woke when a soft cool breeze ble
w across
her leg. She opened her eyes. It was dark
,
and she didn’t recognize where she was until she felt Wade’s arms around her and the tip of his cock nudging her crack. Now she remembered. It hadn’t been just a wonderful dream. They’d finally made love.
They must have fallen asleep on top of t
he bed
,
hence the breeze
beca
use the window was slightly open
.
Wade stirred
,
and she hoped she hadn’t woken him.
“You cold?” he asked.
Too late, I have.
“Yep.”
“Me
,
too. You want to snuggle under the covers with me and spend the night in my bed
?”
“Nothing I’d like better.”
He lifted the blankets and sheet
,
and they huddled together.
“I know
you don’t approve of the quilt,” he said. “I know it sucks.”
“We’ll go shopping one of these days.”
“I’m sure we will. I’m betting by the time you’re done
,
the whole of
Greenville
will have a different look.”
He put his arm around her. “I’m going to start with Nelson’s Ice Cream Parlor. I couldn’t believe those were the same curtains hanging in their window.”
“Now how
do
you know they’re the same ones as when we were kids?”
“
The
stain on one
of them
,
and the same cobweb
s on the hem of the other were the
dead give
away.”
Wade laughed. “Good thing their ice cream is to die for.”
“Yeah, I could just eat some right now.”
She looked at him and raised her eyebrow.
“
They’r
e closed
,
which is lucky for me,” said Wade.
“You think I
’d make you go and buy me some?”
“Probably
,
and I promise you I
will when you’re pregnant.”
“In that case, we better get to wo
rk,” said Sophie.
He smacked her backside.
“You want to have a baby?”
“One day, yeah.”
“Me
,
too.”
“You think I could be its father.”
“I’ll give it serious consideration.”
He smacked
her backside again.
“Go to sleep,” he said.

Wade woke up to find Sophie had invaded his pillow some time during the night. The first thing he saw was her lovely face. He thought about planting a kiss on her lips but then didn’t want to wake her. No
t that he thought she needed to
sleep
longer
but he
wanted to observe her unaware.
He loved her
so much
that
it took his breath away. Wade gently pulled a stray piece of hair from her eye. Her nose twitched
,
and he smiled. Yesterday evening had been quite something, Cathy catching him and Sophie together, her hitting him.
He
and Sophie making love for the first time. Her telling him the real reason she m
arried Travis and left town. However, the most important thing
was
her spending the night in his bed.
Sophie turned onto her back causing the
blanket
to slip
from her chest.
How he wanted to caress her nipples, take them in his mouth and make love to her all over again.
But for now he’d just watch. Watch, observe and admire.
One of
Greenville
’s church bells rang out
,
and Sophie stirred on its third chime.
She opened one eye and then another and looked over at Wade who
now
had his head resting on his hand.
“Good morning,” he said.
“Morning.” She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
“What time is it?”
“Just gone nine.”
“I bet Grans has discovered I didn’t spend the night in my old room.”
Wade leaned over and kissed her. “So what do you think she’s going to say about the two of us?”
“She already gave me a chat about that.”
“Us?”
Sop
hie nodded. “That you’d moved on and
had Cathy
,
and if I thought otherwise I’d end up getting hurt.”
“But you didn’t
,
and you won’t.”
“I do want you to go and put things right with Cathy. I’d go with you
,
but I think that might make things worse.”
