Buying Love

“Of course. I’ll explain it. It’s a painful memory of a life gone awry, but if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have my two amazing boys that led me to Danny.” I take a seat on the bed, and she starts explaining, “I met their father when I was sixteen. He was in his early twenties and worked with for my father, but my parents thought he was great. At one of their parties, he raped me, but my parents didn’t believe me. I was married to him a few days later, and we found out I was pregnant from that night.”

“Does Jake know that?”

“Yes, he does. Over the years, I ended up having Jake and thankfully had taken precautions to stop from getting pregnant. He lost his job because he had a drinking, drug, and woman problem, so I worked twelve-hour days at a factory at night. When Jake was eight, his father used to bring his mistresses home and screw them on our bed. I stopped sleeping in there the first time Jake said something, but that got him beaten. I was in the process of a divorce when he had a heart attack with a prostitute he brought in the house after shooting up.”

“Wow,” I gasp, feeling the pain for the young Jake.

“With no one watching the boys, I had to figure things out. We struggled until the boys were old enough to work, and then they never stopped. Everything wonderful I have is because of them. They are the men their father couldn’t ever be.”

“It only makes me love him more. Gosh, I want him home so bad, but I can’t ask him to come home.”

“He totally would if you ask.”

“Just like Danny. I bet he’s outside waiting in the car, right?”

“Yes, he is.” She giggles and shows me her phone. It’s a text that says, I’m out in the car if you ladies need anything.

“Just tell him to come up here. You know he wants to be by your side. Besides, I could use all the help I can get to pick the house. Aha! I found the boxes. Out in one minute.” I close the bathroom door and pee on the stick.

“Oh shit,” I gasp. Washing my hands, I open the bathroom door and say, “I’m pregnant.”

“You’re pregnant,” Jake exclaims from the doorway.

“You’re home,” I gasp. That isn’t how I imagined sharing the news with him.

“I missed you,” he admits, giving me a shrug. I’m betting it has to do with the pic I sent him. The man wants to be in me every single hour of every single day. Although I have to confess that I love it.

“I always miss you.”

“Same here, baby. Come here and kiss me, my wife.” I rush into his arms and kiss him wildly.

The second we break apart to catch our breaths, I tease, “Ooh, now I can get a divorce.”

“That document has been shredded, burned, but most importantly, I’ll tie you to my damn side if I have to.” He cups my ass, dragging my pussy against his hard cock.

“That’s good to know,” I reply.

“I love you, Mrs. Harrison,” he says against my pulse.

“It’s your turn to kiss me,” I moan, running my hand over his chest and grabbing onto his tie to pull his mouth to mine.

“I can never get enough.”

“Excuse me. I’m going to go get Danny from the car,” his mother interrupts.

“Take your time,” he tells his mother.

“Thirty minutes tops.”

“I only need ten.”

“Five, Mr. Harrison,” I whisper after she walks out of our bedroom.

Jake

A Year Later

“Baby, hand me Elias.” She passes my son to me as she gets ready to fall back asleep. Her eyes were heavy as she buttoned up her nightgown, covering up her enlarged breasts.

Elias’s only a few months old, and it’s hard on her to wake up in the middle of the night to feed him. I do my best to help, but she tells me it’s pointless because she’s breastfeeding. I hold my little guy close to my bare chest and burp him. As hard as it is to sleep, I want more.

“You’re a good boy, aren’t you? How about a story?”

“A hardworking knight never took the time to see anything lovely about the kingdom, but he spent his life protecting it. Then one day, he decided to slow down and enjoy a gathering, and that’s when he ran into the most beautiful princess. He offered her all his jewels in the kingdom for her hand and for the princess to give him his heir. It worked, and she fell under his spell until she professed her love. They made a handsome prince, and they lived happily ever after.”

“Not just a prince. The handsome knight managed to seduce the princess again, giving her another baby.”

“Yes?”

“Yes. We’re having another baby,” she says, placing a kiss on Elias’s fuzzy head. He looks like a baby chick. I lean over and press my lips to Jenna’s.
