Broken Dreams (Broken 2)

Reed looked down and then looked back up into my eyes. His blue-green eyes were sparkling, and I found myself getting lost in them.

“Do you remember all those things I promised you? My goals for us?” he asked.

I smiled and nodded my head. “Yes.”

He took a deep breath and said, “The most important one for me is making you feel safe and happy. I want to give you your happily ever after, Court. I just want to love you with everything I have.”

I swallowed hard and slowly took in a deep breath. I leaned into his body, and I pulled his lower lip with my teeth. He let out a soft moan that moved through my body, like silk sliding against bare skin.

I let go and whispered against his lips, “I never dreamed I would be this happy, Reed. You’ve already made so many of my dreams come true.” I placed his hand on my stomach. “This one has to be at the very top though,” I said with a giggle. “Don’t you see, Reed? The first time you held me in your arms and told me you loved me was the beginning of my happily ever after. Your love is my happily ever after.”

His eyes were dancing in the sunlight as he smiled and said, “And my swooning?”

I giggled as I shook my head. “Nick who?”

“That’s right, baby,” Reed said as he moved me to a lying position on the sofa.

He began kissing me everywhere as his hands moved all along my body, and then he slowly undressed both of us. When I finally felt him enter my body, I let out a moan.

I’d never felt so free in my life. Every fear, hurt, and confused memory vanished from my mind. Reed making love to me was almost like a healing process. Each time, I felt more and more whole, and now, I felt complete.

“Reed…” I whispered as he moved in and out of my body slowly. “I’m yours—completely.”

He looked at me as he came to a stop. Feeling him twitch inside my body was like a drug to me. I needed to feel him every single day.

He placed his hands on the sides of my head and said, “I’m completely yours.” He captured my lips, and we slowly made love. When he moved his lips to my ear, he whispered, “I’m about to come, angel.”

I lost it. I softly called out his name as we lost ourselves in each other…completely.

When I heard my truck driving down the road, I looked and then glanced over toward Layton. He jumped up and pulled out his cell phone. Courtney put the truck in park and got out of it. She waved to us as she made her way over. She looked so damn cute in her overalls and pregnant belly. She smiled at me, and my stomach dropped a little, doing that little flutter. I loved how she could still make me feel this way, even when I’d just seen her a few hours ago.

“Is Whit okay?” Layton called out.

Courtney rolled her eyes and made her way over toward us. “Yes. The little moody bitch is just fine. She was driving me insane, and I had to get away from her. How in the hell do you live with that?”

Layton smiled and said, “True love.”

“Or great sex,” Courtney said as she attempted to sit on the tailgate.

I walked up to her, lifted her up, and then set her down onto the truck tailgate as she grabbed my cell phone to keep from sitting on it.

“My oh-so strong hubby,” she said as she smiled at me and then looked back at Layton. “So, I’m going with great sex since you decided to remain silent on that one.”

Layton shook his head and grabbed the fence pullers as I let out a laugh.

“So, what did my beautiful bride do to make you so pissed at her?”

Courtney dropped her head back and closed her eyes. “God, the sun feels so good.” She let out a sigh and said, “She wants me to run into town and buy her crunchy peanut butter.”

Layton stopped and looked at Courtney funny. “I just bought some, like three days ago.”

“Wait, I bought her some last week,” Courtney said as she looked at me.

I held up my hands and said, “Don’t look at me. I haven’t bought her anything but the mint chocolate ice cream last night.”

Courtney’s mouth dropped open. “You bastard.”

Oh shit.
