When Huck pulled me into his arms and kissed me, I was beyond ready. Wet, eager, and needy. Lifting his head, he stroked my hair back and looked at me. His pale eyes held mine.
“When I saw that gun in Mandy’s hand, I panicked about you getting hurt,” he said.
“You? I was talking to Graham and heard the shot. I thought you’d been killed!” I tried to push back and break his hold, but he kept me snug to him.
His jaw clenched as his eyes roved over my face. “It’s over. We leave her behind, baby girl, with everything else. All we need to see is the future.”
I nodded, took a deep breath. “You’re right.”
“I want to start that future right now.” He tipped his head toward the bed. “Right there.”
“Yes,” I breathed, wanting that too. We’d lost six years. We’d almost lost each other today. But our time was now.
Before, we hadn’t even been trying to make a baby. Now we would be. The future was finally clear.
“Yes,” he repeated as he stepped back. Took my hand and led me to the side of the bed.
I burst out laughing when I saw the headboard. A wooden slat was missing right in the middle.
Huck looked to the bed and back to me. “We might need a new bed.”
I shook my head, set my hands at the hem of his shirt, and started to push it up his body.
“No way. I want that there to remember the moment when we got back together.”
“You want that, all you have to do is sit on my face,” he countered.
We didn’t say anything else after that, just stripped each other’s clothes off and fell into bed together. I was beneath him, and I savored the hard press of his body. The way the hair on his chest tickled my nipples. His hand slipped between my thighs, parted me, and found me wet.
“Baby girl.”
“Don’t make me wait,” I said, lifting my hips for him.
This was going to be a quickie. We both needed it, the connection.
He shifted, set the head of his dick at my entrance, then held himself still.
I looked up at him.
“This is it, Sarah O’Banyon soon-to-be Manning. Time to make that baby.”
“Yes,” I said, lifting my hips to take an inch of him into me.
He pushed the rest of the way in. “Fuck, baby girl. I’m home.”
He filled me completely, and my walls rippled around him, adjusting to being filled with something so big.
He was home. Wherever he was, I belonged.
“I’m going to fuck you now, but you can’t make any noises.”
I giggled, my inner muscles clenching as I did so, and he groaned.
He couldn’t hold back any longer and began to move. I met each thrust with my hips until we couldn’t hold back our moans and groans, gasps and begging.
I came as he reached between us and pinched my clit. He plunged deep, growled. Filled me with his cum.
There was no going back now. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
