Broken Dreams (Broken 2)

“I didn’t have a chance to buy any mattresses or anything like that.”

“Reed, what about the weather? Won’t the heat and cold ruin this stuff?” she asked as she looked around the room.

“No, baby. The whole thing is insulated, and we have it ready to add air and heat.”

She spun around and stared at me with her mouth dropped open. “What the hell? Our kids’ tree house is going to have air and heat? They’re not even born yet, and you’re spoiling the hell out of them already!”

I threw my head back and laughed. I didn’t want to say anything, but I loved how she also kept referring to multiple kids. “Well, I figured we can enjoy it until they get older.”

Courtney walked up to the ladder and asked, “Where does this go? To a bathroom?” she said with a giggle.

I walked up and whispered in her ear, “This leads to my favorite part of the whole tree house, the crow’s nest. Here, you go first. I don’t want you slipping and getting hurt. There is a small landing at the door. Just open the door and step on out.”

As she climbed up, my heart started pounding.

“Why does it have a lock on it?” Courtney asked as she looked down at me.

“Well, I figured when the kids are little, we will want to keep it locked, so they don’t go up here without us. I’ve built up the walls pretty high to keep them from falling over. This is the only area that does not have windows.”

I made my way up to the landing and stood there while she smiled at me.

“Reed, you’re going to make an amazing father.”

I gave her a weak smile and said, “I hope so.”

I reached around her and pushed open the door. She turned around and let out another gasp.

Rose petals covered the floor, and white lights were draped across the walls. The sun was beginning to sink into the western sky, and the colors of the sky were amazing. The view would only get better the closer we got to sunset. In the corner was a blanket, a bottle of grape juice, two wine glasses, and Courtney’s favorite thing right now, chocolate-covered grapes. I gagged every time I saw her eat them, but she loved them.

She spun around and looked at me with the most adorable smile on her face. She scrunched up her nose and said, “You planned this. How did you know I’d want to make love in the tree house?”

I made my way over to her and took her in my arms. I placed my finger on her chin and brought her soft lips to mine. I kissed her slowly and gently before pulling back some. “I figured you for sure would want to look at it. I was hoping I could have my way with you, and you would go along with it.”

She pushed her fingers through my hair and looked into my eyes. “I love you so very much. I don’t even have words to tell you what this means to me that you built this. My heart is aching because it’s filled with so much love for you.”

I took her lips in mine and began kissing her like I couldn’t get enough of her. Our hands were all over each other’s bodies. Before I knew it, we were spreading the blanket on top of the rose petals, and I was burying myself into my wife’s body. I slowly began letting go, losing myself in her love. I felt whole when I was making love to Courtney, and I knew she felt the same way. The way we stayed together for so long after we made love, almost like we were afraid to break the connection, was one of my favorite things. Nothing would ever come between us. I would never hurt her, and I’d kill anyone who tried to hurt her.

“Reed?”

I was lying on my side with Courtney pulled up next to me, her soft skin feeling like heaven to me. “Yeah, angel?”

“I think I’m ready to go break in our shower.”

I smiled as I kissed her on the head. “Oh yeah?”

She turned around and made a funny face. “Yeah. You really stink from all that sweaty wo

rk you did today.”

My mouth dropped open before I started laughing. I looked down at my body, picked up my arm, and gave myself a good smell. Holy shit, I really do stink.

I stood up and quickly began getting dressed as I watched my beautiful wife get dressed. We grabbed the blanket, grape juice and grapes, and headed back down the tree house. I took her hand in mine as we made our way to the front door. I unlocked the door, opened it, and then bent down and picked up Courtney. I carried her into the house and kicked the front door closed before I walked straight back to our master bathroom.

It didn’t take long before I had her up against the wall in our shower.

“Heaven…you are pure heaven,” I said as I came inside her while listening to her say my name as she came at the same time.

After sex in the kitchen, sex in the living room, sex up against the hallway wall, and then sex in our bedroom again, we were exhausted. We both lay on the bed, panting.
