Ellie’s body began responding to Mitch’s touch, but for her, it was much more than his touch that caused her senses to run wild. The smell of his body, mixed with hers, the sound of his body moving against hers, and the feel of his lips, teasing her skin, was amazing and Ellie, loved it.
Mitch gently kissed down her neck, taking his time, allowing his hot breath to tease her skin. He tugged at her gown, pulling at it as if he could not stand the barrier being between their bodies. Ellie lifted her hips, allowing the gown to slip above her hips and Mitch quickly slid it above her head tossing it to the side.
His lips gently touched her chest, as he moved his head between her breasts, cupping them in his hands, teasing her pink nubs with his thumb.
Her body ached with pleasure. She had not expected her body to react this way to him, it had been so long since she had been touched. She had almost forgotten how great it felt.
Mitch raised his head, placing a long passionate kiss on each of her nipples before he continued to kiss his way down to her stomach.
“What are you doing,” her voice caught in her throat. She didn’t want him to know how inexperienced she really was but there was no hiding it at this point. She lay under him, completely exposed, in nothing but a pair of thin, lacy panties, praying that her lack of experience would not turn him off.
Mitch looked up at her and smiled, “If only we had more time when we were in the garden, your pleasure would have been so much more intense. I’m making up for that.”
Ellie’s heart skipped a beat as he lowered his head back to her stomach, his tongue teasing her just below her belly button. Ellie placed her hand on his head, feeling his soft hair in her fingers. It was something she had never forgotten about him, the feel of his hair in her hands and it was something she had missed through out the years.
Moving down her body, she felt Mitch’s tongue through the lace panties, the heat from his mouth sent waves of pleasure through her body and when he gently pushed her panties to the side, slipping his tongue into her clit, she could not help but let out a loud moan.
“Come for me Ellie,” he sounded as if he was pleading with her, his voice muffled by her body. Ellie had never felt such pleasure and found that she couldn’t help but rock her hips in rhythm as he lapped at her clit.
Just as he slipped two fingers inside of her, Ellie’s body buckled, her entire body tightened as waves of pleasure engulfed her. Ellie, lost complete control of her own body, moaning, her back arching as she allowed the climax to take over.
Mitch continued, allowing Ellie to take full pleasure in her orgasm, and as her body began to still, he lifted his head, smiling at her as he wiped his mouth.
Mitch quickly climbed up Ellie’s body, pushing her legs farther apart as he lowered his body between them. She could feel him at her entrance, waiting for permission as the two of them stared at each other in the night.
Ellie lifted her hips, allowing him inside of her. Mitch slowly moved his hips, and Ellie could see that his face was contorted with pleasure as he slid deeper and deeper inside.
It was different for her this time, even though she had not been with anyone besides him and only the one time, pleasure filled her body as he stretched her.
Ellie had never considered sex could feel so good. Of course, she knew that her body could be pleased from the outside, but thought it was silly to expect it to happen any other way. The feeling was so intense that she could not help but rock her hips, almost slamming them against Mitch, which only encouraged him to thrust harder.
Ellie’s body once again tightened, she threw her arms around Mitch, pulling him as close to her as she could as the waves took over a second time.
This was more than Mitch could stand and as the waves subsided in Ellie’s body, Mitch let out a low growl, moaning deeply from within and with one last thrust she felt him fill her body with his hot fluids.
Ellie lay on the bed thinking about everything that had happened. The sex was more amazing than she had ever imagined it could be but it was far more than that. It was the way that Mitch looked deep into her eyes, never breaking eye contact as he made love to her. It was the fact that he was more concerned with her pleasure than his own. It was a side of him that she had never known to exist.
The first time, it had hurt, she had not really enjoyed much of it, but this time was different, it was as if Mitch was touching her soul with his own as if they were connecting on a deeper level.
The two of them stared at each other, smiling and trying to catch their breath, Ellie shook her head, wondering if this was real or if it was all an elaborate dream. She reached out and placed her hand on the side of his face, stubble scratched at her hand as she looked deep into his dark eyes.
Leaning forward, Mitch placed his lips on hers, they tasted of salt from his sweat but Ellie did not care. He kissed her gently and slowly, before laying his head on the pillow next to her and the two of them fell asleep.
Ellie slept better that night than she had in a long time, she felt safe wrapped in his arms, and she finally felt as if everything in her life was exactly how it was supposed to be.
Ellie woke to the sun shining through her bedroom windows. It was early, Micah was still asleep and Mitch lay next to her, looking up at the ceiling.
Panic immediately filled her, she could tell something was wrong.
I can’t handle losing him again,
she thought to herself,
I can’t let Micah lose him.
Rolling onto her side, she placed a hand on his chest, “What is wrong,” she asked, praying that the answer was nothing.
“I was just thinking about life, about what I am going to do next and how all of this is supposed to work out,” he said, not taking his eyes off of the ceiling, “I can’t just quit playing ball.”
There it was, Ellie knew that it was going to happen. She knew that no matter what, no matter how much she wanted him to stay and no matter how much he said Micah meant to him, he was only worried about himself.
Ellie was conflicted. Seeing him in the morning light, sleeping in his arms all night and having him make love to her in a way that she had never known was even possible, then dealing with this, she felt as if she was going to burst into tears.
“No one expects that you quit playing ball,” Ellie forced herself to say, pulling her hand off of his chest and moving away from him. Finally, Mitch looked away from the ceiling, taking notice of the pain that he was causing.
Ellie moved to the edge of the bed and sat up, she hated herself, she had known better than to let him into her bed, she knew she should have never even let him stay at her house.
Why do I let myself get into these situations,
she asked herself as she stood and grabbed her robe.
“I’m going to take a shower,” she turned, away from Mitch as she spoke. She didn’t want to look at him, in fact, she never wanted to look at him again. All she wanted to do was to get away from him and never lay her eyes on him again.
“Ellie, wait,” he said, struggling to get out of the bed, but was tangled in the sheets. He fell into the floor as Ellie walked out of the door. Rolling her eyes, she struggled not to laugh at him as she headed to the shower.
Ellie, stepped into the shower, the hot water, rushed down her body washing away the evidence of the night before. Tears flowed down her cheeks, not for her, but for Micah. She had loved the idea of having Mitch around, of course, thinking that there was some chance that they could give Micah the family that she deserved and that she would not have to spend her life alone.
The tears, however, were because of the pain that she knew Micah would have to face as she grew up. Pain that would be caused from not having her father around from feeling that she was not loved or wanted by the man that helped to create her.
*******
Ellie heard Micah call for her as she was stepping out of the shower. She quickly dressed and brushed her hair before heading out of the bathroom, but was surprised to find Micah already in the living room with Mitch.
“You know,” Mitch said, looking up at her, “if I didn’t know better, I would say you were a spoiled princess storming out like that without hearing me out.”
“Princess,” Micah interrupted, causing her father to smile.
“You are a princess Micah,” Ellie said, sitting down, “just like the ones in the stories.”
Micah began to dance around the living room, still in her night clothes, carefree and completely happy.
“I am anything but spoiled,” Ellie said, lowering her voice, “I have been the one that has been here all along taking care of her. I am the one that made all of the sacrifices. Do you know what I had to give up? And you sit there worried about a silly game.”
It was obvious to Mitch that Ellie was angry, but he was not going to let her play the victim. “You live the life you chose to live,” he stated bluntly, “you chose not to contact me, not to even let me know that she existed. Everything that happened to you happened because you let it.”
Ellie sat back on the sofa, shaking her head as she crossed her arms. He would never understand and it was becoming more and more obvious to her that he didn’t even want to.
“I want us to spend the day with Micah,” Mitch finally said, after several moments of silence, “I want to make sure that she has fun.”
Ellie pressed her lips together, refusing to speak her opinion, knowing that it would only make him angry. “Fine,” she replied, “I have to go back to work tomorrow and would like to spend the day with my daughter.”
“Great,” Mitch said, standing up, “I am off for the next couple of days. I mean I have to practice for a few hours each evening but I want to watch her while you are at work.”
Ellie’s eyes grew wide, there was no way she was just going to leave her daughter with him. “Micah goes to a daycare while I am at work. Don’t worry about watching her, I’m not sure that you are ready for that.”
“Really, Ellie,” Mitch’s voice began to grow louder, “you don’t think that I am ready to take care of my daughter?”
Mitch walked over to Ellie and grabbed her arm, pulling her to her feet, “We need to talk now,” he demanded and all but drug Ellie to the other side of the room.
“I know that you are mad at me,” he said in a low tone when he finally stopped pulling her, “I don’t know what your problem is but I know it has something to do with baseball. I really don’t care what you are mad about, you will get over it, but you are not going to keep me away from her now that I know she exists.”
“For your information,” Ellie tried to control her voice but struggled. Micah turned her head and looked at her parents. “Go ahead and play baby,” Ellie smiled at her daughter, “Everything is okay.”
Micah quickly turned her attention back to her toys, unaware of what was going on between her parents.
“I am not mad at you about baseball,” Ellie said, looking back at Mitch, “I am mad at you for not thinking about Micah. You are only thinking about yourself.”
Mitch’s face grew red, he pushed himself against Ellie, forcing her to take a step back pinning her against the wall. She was beginning to hate when he did that to her, it made her feel as if she was completely out of control.
“I am not putting myself ahead of my daughter,” he growled in her ear, “I never said that I was going to do anything like that. I plan on being here with her, the entire time that I am not working, but I didn’t think I would have to explain that to you!”
Mitch was right, he shouldn’t have had to explain any of it to her, but she needed to hear him say it.
Ellie lowered her head and leaned into Mitch’s chest. She felt like a fool, she could not believe how stupid she had been and she realized how easily she could have pushed him out of Micah’s life.
Mitch wrapped his arms around her, he understood what a roller coaster of emotions she had to deal with over the past few days and did not blame her for the way she had behaved. After all, she was just looking out for their daughter.
The two spent the rest of the day with their daughter, they enjoyed the amusement park, a picnic lunch and when the day was done, Mitch took them out to dinner at Micah’s favorite pizza restaurant.
Ellie loved watching the two of them, she loved how they played, how they laughed together and how happy her daughter looked.
That evening, when the three arrived back at Ellie’s house, Mitch carried Micah into the house, she had fallen asleep in the car. “You really are amazing with her,” Ellie smiled at Mitch as he walked back into her living room.
“She is amazing,” Mitch replied, sitting down next to Ellie, “I never thought I could fall in love with someone so fast or love them as much as I do that little girl.
That was all Ellie really needed to hear. Seeing Mitch with their daughter, filled her heart with joy, even though she had been angry at Mitch earlier, she could not deny how she felt about him and when she saw the two of them together, her heart swelled with love.
