“You’re her best friend, I’m sure you can answer that,” I shot back.
Jen motioned for me to sit; I sat on the large couch and began to speak. I explained to them my intentions and the fact that I needed their help to pull this off. Jen rushed to my side, hugging me, and I sat there feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Not knowing what to do, I hugged her, this stranger that I barely knew.
“You broke her, you know… she was a mess,” Logan spoke quietly.
“I know,” I simply answered, always so aware of my actions.
“I’ve been wanting to do that since the moment you left town.”
“I know, I deserve it.” It was the truth; even I had to admit that.
I looked at my watch; my driver would be here in a minute. I handed the ice pack back to Jen; she squeezed my hand and gave me a sincere smile.
“Listen, I need to go, it would mean a lot if you could do this for me, and in return, how about I forget the fact that your broke Charlotte as well - sexually. Truce?”
“I’d hardly call that a break… more like a slight tear.” Jen laughed
“Fine” I held out my hand and he reluctantly shook it.
“For the record, guys – that fight was totally hot.”
“Edwards, leave my home now. You,” he motioned to Jen “put those kids to bed. I’ll show you what’s hot.”
I closed the door behind me, ready to take my bruised face back home.
…
It was just before midnight when I arrived home on Sunday. I entered the bedroom and although Charlotte said she would wait up for me, she was fast asleep.
I was eager to be inside her but instead I stood and I watched. Her tiny snores barely audible, her eyes shut tight, her face nestled into her pillow. Her complexion was glowing, I couldn’t help but bask in her beauty knowing that our child she was carrying would mirror her beauty, it was impossible not to. I pulled my cell out of my pocket for like the hundredth time today and stared at my home screen. Our baby. It was one of those moments where I took a minute and appreciated everything good in my life and all of it was lying in our bed, fast asleep.
It overwhelmed me and my desire to have her kicked in, I stripped at a fast pace and climbed into bed, she made a whimper and as much as I knew she needed her sleep, selfish horny Lex needed her more. I nestled into her back and without warning I slid my cock into her pussy, maybe a little too fast but after a few strokes I felt the moisture built up, and her moaning increased.
“Lex…” she murmured, reaching behind to pull my head into her neck.
“It’s me baby, I missed you.” I said as I slammed into her harder on the verge of an orgasmic finish, she cried out, her body tensing. I didn’t want it to end - I never wanted it to end but …
“Come with me Charlotte…Please…together…” and just like that I pulled her into me tight, and tugged on her erect nipples causing her to scream my name, her pussy contracting around my cock. I held onto her hip trying not to hurt her.
“Fuck!” I screamed loud, enough that the neighbors and possibly the whole apartment block could hear.
With our breaths shallow, she turned around to face me.
“It’s late, and …I missed you too.”
I stroked her cheek and kissed her, unable to hide a smile as my mind wandered.
“What’s the smile for?” she asked smiling in return.
“Just happy to be home,” I whispered.
First the first time in my life I found it – not a place but a person to call home.
Chapter 18
Charlie
As I stood on the porch staring blankly at the door, Lex held onto my hand and squeezed it tight. I was way beyond anxious and I felt my palms start to sweat as I began fiddling with the rings on my left hand. When Lex suggested we fly back home to Carmel and finally announce the news to my Dad, I tried my best to come up with every excuse under the sun. Turns out, every excuse had a solution. Bulls assured me she could hold down the fort at work and the doctor told me it was safe to fly since I was only in my second trimester. As I said, they were all conspiring against me!
