“What?” they said in unison again, then laughed. The sound filled the otherwise quiet room.
“I couldn’t hold it in anymore,” Jasmine said, leaning over him. He was lying flat on the bed and she straddled him. “I know it hasn’t been long but I love you and I feel hope for the future.”
He reached up and brought her down for a gentle kiss. “I couldn’t hold it in either. I was a fool. I thought relationships were too much work and time. That it would take away from my job.”
“And now?”
“I still love my job. I love helping people. It’s who I am. But I love you too. It makes me feel happy and excited when the end of the day comes. You don’t take away from life. You add to it. You add joy, peace, and so many emotions that I feel so alive and hopeful.” He said seriously, caressing her face with his hand.
She took his hand and placed a soft kiss in his palm. She felt lucky to have him in her life. Not once had he asked her to change a thing about her, yet here he was telling her he loved her. Her heart felt full but she didn’t want to cry, even tears of joy. She wanted to soak in this moment and commit it to memory. How her handsome deputy’s eyes filled with emotions, just for her.
“Why are you excited about the end of the day?” She choked out the words. She ran her hands up and down his muscled chest.
“Because I get to see you,” he said simply. He cupped her breasts with his hands. His thumb swiped her nipple slowly. He grinned when she gasped. She felt the moisture gather between her legs as hunger began to grow.
She held on to his shoulders and lifted herself up. She lowered herself slowly on to his hard cock and gave a satisfied smile when he gasped. She could feel every inch of him inside of her. “Oh shit, baby. You look good up there.”
She rotated her hips around i
n a slow dance. Her hair was loose and flowed around her as she moved up and down on his shaft. His eyes were on her breasts as they swayed with her movements. “Does it feel good too?”
He nodded and grabbed her hips. “You know it.”
“Good.” She smiled down at her lover. He was so handsome but more importantly he had a good heart. He made his living helping people. Like he had told her before, it was who he was. A man you could count on for all time and all seasons.
She tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She let desire overtake her body and mind. She rode him and enjoyed the sounds of satisfaction he made as his cock went in and out of her. He helped her move with his hands at her hips, directing her speed. He pinched and tugged at her nipples, making her moan loudly. She loved the feel of his hands on her. She didn’t think she would ever get tired of it. She leaned down to get a taste of his mouth. Their tongues entwined and followed a rhythm. His hands roamed down to her ass cheeks and he kept there, squeezing them. She went up and down on his cock, using her wetness to make it an easy and smooth ride. She could see the sweat on his brow as he thrust up in her.
“You feel so amazing, mi amor.” His voice was deep and filled with passion. She felt the fire consuming her and part of her looked forward to the climax because it was so amazing and part of her was not ready for it to end.
She increased her rhythm and a few minutes later screamed out her pleasure and he followed.
She felt so weak she lay on his chest and let him hold her for a few seconds as her breathing evened out. He pulled her off of him and moved her to his side, caressing her hair with shaky hands.
“What’s mi amor mean?” she whispered, her eyes closing.
“My love.”
It was the last thing she heard as she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Chapter 18
Jasmine stared at the small tightly wrapped bundle in Alana’s arms the next morning. Alana looked tired but was beaming with joy.
“He is so tiny,” Jasmine gushed, running her finger down his soft cheek. His eyes were closed and he looked angelic. He had a little fluff of black hair on top of his head. “How precious.”
“I know.” Alana’s smile was filled with contentment. “I was so worried but his lungs are good and he is healthy. My doctor said sometimes due dates can be miscalculated. He might be a little early but nothing is wrong with him.”
“That’s good,” Drake added, standing behind Jasmine and looking over her shoulder at the newborn. “Where is the proud dad?”
“He had to go home and get my suitcase and the car seat for this little guy. We had not planned to go from the picnic to the hospital,” Alana answered sheepishly. “And here I was dreading spending the next weeks in bed. My little angel knew Mommy couldn’t sit in a bed that long.”
“Babies do tend to surprise their parents.” Jasmine smiled.
Alana looked at the couple with a hint of speculation. “Maybe you two are next? You seem so happy together these days. I am really happy you found each other.”
“We are happy.” Drake kissed Jasmine’s cheek. “But we’re just starting our relationship. Give us time.”
Jasmine felt her chest tighten with happiness. He didn’t outright say no way. She wanted to be a mother too, but not yet. She was enjoying getting to know all the sides of Drake Lopez. But now she had dreams for the future.
