Finally, we boarded our plane and were headed out to the runway. It would only be a couple hours until I could sneak in bed beside her and wrap her in my arms. I lay my head back as visions of the coming months would prove to be the best of my life. I had so much planned. I was just hopin' that she was open to all my
plans
, despite the fact that I had made some of them without her knowledge. I knew how she felt about things like that, and I found myself nervous as all hell.
A couple hours later, we were landing in Texas and I was elated. I had been tired on the plane and could very well have fallen asleep, but I had just gotten my second wind and I was eager to get off the damn plane. The best part of flyin' out on a red eye was that there was next to no one on the plane with us. We didn't have to wait for slow ass people to mosey their tired asses off the plane, and I hadn't checked any bags so the minute the doors opened, I was outta there.
I headed straight for my truck in the small economy lot, turning the ignition over and bringing it to life. I had spoken to Kayla's grandfather before we left and had him leave my truck for me. He was the only one who knew how late I would be getting in and I didn't want to wake anyone up when I finally reached her house.
It took me only forty five minutes to make it to her house, but it was forty-five minutes too long. When I reached the main dirt road, it took everything in me not to speed my way up her drive. All the lights were off, which was to be expected by the lateness of the hour, except for her room light. I laughed under my breath, knowing that she had left her bedside lamp on every night, just in case I were to come home early.
I quietly gathered my belongings and made my way around the back of the house where Jasper had said he would leave a key for me. Sure enough, it was underneath an old woven rug, just beckoning for me to use it. I slid it into the lock with ease and made my way inside, quietly locking the back door behind me. I dropped my bag at the bottom of the stairs and slowly made my way up to her bedroom.
The door was cracked and the way the soft light hit her brown locks that were fanned out across her pillow, made my heart melt. She looked even more beautiful than the first day I had met her. I loosened my belt and let my jeans hit the floor, before discarding my shirt on the floor next to it. I pulled back just enough of the covers to slide in behind her and I slowly wrapped my arm tightly around her protruding belly.
I heard her whisper my name, but I wasn't sure if she was awake or dreaming of me. Either was just fine. I tucked her tightly into my chest as I listened to her deep intake of breath. Yep, she was asleep. I lay motionless for a few minutes, not wanting to wake her. I could only imagine how tired she was and I didn't want to interrupt her dreams, of me.
Kayla
I woke up startled that there was a man's arm wrapped tightly around my mid section. Madison wasn't due home for at least another month and I was caught off guard as to who would be in my bed beside me. The sun was just breaking through the dark storm clouds that had formed over night, and as I turned in the direction of the man lying beside me, I almost jumped with joy. A loud squeal escaped my lips and he was instantly awake.
After all this time, he was here, with me. I took in the features of his gorgeous face, almost not recognizing the man that lay beside me. He had some slight stubble along his chin and his hair was shorter than the last time we had video chatted. He now wore it shorter and spiked on top and it took his sexiness to a whole new level. His eyes popped open and he looked tired and lost. I felt bad for waking him, but I was too excited to let him sleep any longer.
I pressed my lips gently against his, moving them in a slow meticulous motion. I wanted to savor this moment, take him all in. His tongue dipped into my mouth as my lips parted and I moaned into him. I could feel my affect on him take over as his fingers pushed up through the back of my unruly hair.
I deepened our kiss even further, slowly sliding one leg over him so I was now straddling him. He broke our contact for the briefest of moments before gently flipping me onto my back and finding my mouth. I breathed him in. My fingers skimmed across his broad shoulders and down along his defined abs, not stopping there. When my hands found what they were looking for, I tilted my head back, licking my bottom lip.
"You know a guy could get used to wakin' up this way?" He moaned.
"I wouldn't be opposed to it." I muttered under my breath as his mouth descended on mine again.
He propped himself up on both elbows on either side of my face, as if it would be the last time he saw me. I watched closely as his eyes slowly made their way down my body, doing a once over before finally zoning in in my belly. His fingers traced small circles around my belly button before they made their final descent to the one place I yearned for him to touch. I couldn't help the moan that escaped my mouth as he separated my slick folds with his fingers. He placed one at my entrance, waiting for permission to continue. I gave a quick nod and without warning, he pushed it inside of me, all the while making good use of his thumb. I arched into his touch, not wanting it to ever end. I was in heaven.
His touch set my skin on fire, leaving a trail of goose bumps everywhere he touched. When he knew I was ready, he positioned himself above me for the briefest of seconds before pushing himself inside. As he pushed in and out of me at a dizzying pace, I found myself at the edge sooner than expected. I held out for as long as I could, but it had been far too long since I had felt him inside of me, devouring every inch of what was his. My body hummed and I could feel him getting closer to the edge with me, and just when I thought he wouldn't let go, he fell. He fell so hard that I could feel him deeper inside of me than I had ever felt him before.
His face glistened with sweat from his excitement and I wiped away the remnants onto the sheets below me. He instantly withdrew himself and laid on his side next to me.
"You didn't have to move, I was quite enjoying having
all
of you inside of me." I let my lips graze his earlobe as I whispered the last little bit.
"And I as well, but I don't want to hurt this little one by laying on top of you." His hand slipped under the thin sheet, letting it come to rest on the highest point of my belly. "How's my lil girl doin' today?" His lips were right against my damp skin just above my belly button, and just as his soft voice passed through my body, a small kick pressed against his cheek.
"Oh my god, did you feel that?" His excitement had me rolling in laughter.
"Of course I felt it, it
is
inside of me."
"Oh yeah." He laughed along with me.
I heard faint footsteps outside of my door and quickly pulled my short nightgown back down past my exposed bits and urged Madison to put
something
on. A few short minutes later, my door creaked open, exposing my grandmomma's beautiful face.
I thought I heard talkin' in here. Glad to have ya home, Madison. Darlin', do you need anything?"
"No Grams, I'm okay. We will be down for breakfast in just a little bit." I gave her the "please go away look" and she instantly retreated back out the door, closing it behind her.
"Okay, so now that we are
awake
, care to explain to me what you're doin' home? Not that I'm not excited to see you, and obviously he or she is too, but I'm confused."
He let out a low chuckle as he took in my very serious expression. "Do you know how beautiful you are first thing in the mornin'?" his lips sought out mine and found me resisting. "What the hell woman? Kiss me, damn it!"
We both laughed in unison as I leaned forward, kissing just the corner of his mouth. "You'll get more, when you answer my question."
"Fine." He crossed his arms tightly over his chest, every muscles pulled tight and enticing me to touch him. A pout sat firmly on his face. I nudged him with my elbow. "We're done for now. We did all the shows that we were contracted to do and John let us come home early. We wanted to surprise everyone, so that's why I didn't call or anything. SURPRISE!" He half-shouted.
"How long are you home for?" I knew how pathetic I sounded. I agreed to all of this knowing it was goin' to be hard, but pregnancy hormones mixed with my already neurotic self, wasn't the best when amazingly beautiful women on a nightly basis constantly surrounded your boyfriend.
"We're home for good now, pretty girl. You can't get rid of me so easily." He poked my belly and a small foot or hand poked right back.
"It's so unbelievable." He whispered as he sat back in amazement.
"I know, right!" Just then my stomach growled louder than ever before. "I suppose it's time to feed the beast." I giggled.
"Is that the name you came up with?" He joked.
"No, but I have been thinking about names a lot lately. Not a whole lot to do around here without you around, ya know?" My face fell a little as I pushed myself up out of bed. His catcher's mitt of a hand darted out, catching my wrist, and gently pulling me back down onto the bed next to him. His arm was wrapped around my back as I lay looking up into the most mesmerizing sea of green. I was finding myself getting lost in them, when his voice broke through.
"Huh?"
"I missed you, pretty girl. Trust me, it wasn't easy for me either. At least you have school to keep ya preoccupied, and
Joey.
" I could hear the disdain drip from his last word.
"Really?" I joked. "Are you ever gonna just let it go?"
"Oh
I
have, it's that Joey Green that can't seem to let
you
go."
I pushed my fingers back through his short hair, and then ran them down the back of his cheek. "Still gettin' used to it?" He whispered.
"Yeah, but I like it. A lot!" I winked. "And give Joey a bit of a break, he's been really good to me."
"I bet he has." I knew he muttered it under his breath so that I wouldn't hear him, but I did.
"Knock it off, cowboy. You know I'm all yours." He was now standing in the bathroom doorway and I was on my knees facing his direction. As quickly as his nickname came floating out of my mouth, he turned and saw how I was positioned. He stood back, his eyes fully violating me as they worked their way up and down the contour of my body. I started to get a little self-conscience, so I started to climb off the bed and get dressed.
"Why are you putting clothes on?"
I turned with a perplexed look on my face, "Because I can't go down to have breakfast with my grandparents in this." I pointed down at the small spaghetti strap nightgown I was wearing.
After he discarded his shirt on the bathroom floor, his boxer briefs were quick to join it. He came sauntering towards me, taunting me. "Well I was gonna shower real quick, was hopin' you'd wanna do the same, but it's cool, I get it. You just can't handle all of
this
more than once in the mornin'." He chided as he flexed in my direction.
Faster than I even thought possible, my nightgown was on the floor and I was chasing him into the shower. It had been too long since I had gotten any real time with him, and showering with my man felt like something "real."
"That's what I thought." He smirked.
He quickly let the water rush through his short strands and then turned, allowing me to stand under the warm stream of water that began cascading down my back. I leaned my head back letting the water wash over all of me, letting my eyes flutter shut. I wasn't sure if it was the water that felt so amazing or just knowin' he was in the shower with me, but either way, I was one happy girl.
I felt his hands come up and slide down my long wet mane. My eyes remained shut while he ran his soapy hands through my hair, massaging my scalp as he washed my brown locks. I knew he had grabbed shampoo when the smell of strawberries invaded my senses. It had been my favorite shampoo since I was little. It was an expensive name brand of some sort, but it was the one thing my father used to buy me every year. I guess certain things just stick with you over time.
"Lean your head back a little bit more, darlin'."
I did as instructed and almost melted as Madison rinsed my hair underneath the water. His fingers were relaxing and made my scalp tingle. I swear those fingers were magic, because I was definitely wishing he was washing another area with them at the current moment.
As though he could read my very thought he whispered in my ear, "Patience, pretty girl. I'll get there. Don't doubt that."
My knees grew weak and I could feel the pressure below intensify. I let out a strangled moan as his fingers continued on with the conditioner now. He made small circles along my scalp from front to back and it was pure heaven.
"You're good at that." I managed to whisper back.
"I miss takin' care of you. I'm so sorry I've missed out on so much."
My eyes shot open in shock. "What do you mean? You haven't missed too much."
"Close your eyes, darlin'." His bare hands skimmed over every inch of my skin before finally gathering up my loofa and body wash. I could smell the faint aroma of sandalwood and lotus. "Not too much."
"Shh."
He just shushed me? I started to get irritated, but then the loofa touched my hypersensitive skin and I found myself not being able to form a coherent thought, as his hands made their way all across my body. Everywhere the loofa skimmed, his lips followed closely behind leaving a trail of kisses along every inch of me.
