I pulled out and turned her around in my arms holding her close to my heart. “Are you hurt baby?” She shook her head no and cuddled closer. I ignored her scent as it teased my senses, after I’d just been so deep inside her there was no way I would take her again so soon that shit might hurt. My heart was still thundering away in my chest as it did each time I took her. She had become my all in such a short time, sometimes I wondered if it was because of her background, if I would have this over protective streak a mile wide if she hadn’t been through what she had. But somewhere deep inside, I know it wouldn’t have made a difference, that the tenderness I felt for her was because of who she was and what she meant to me.
We whispered to each other deep into the night making plans and spinning dreams. It was one of my favorite times, in the afterglow of loving her, holding her close and planning our future together. “I think I’ve found a way for you to call your mom.”
She sat up and looked down at me, her eyes alight with excitement. “Really, how?” pushing her hair back behind her ears I stole one more kiss before telling her of Josh’s idea. “You can use my phone until we go get you one but I have to think about this. I want it to be as safe as possible not only for you but for your mom as well.” There was too much that could go wrong if we didn’t handle shit correctly. I was also thinking that it would be cool if we could have her mom meet us at the university this weekend but I didn’t tell her about that, not until I was sure I could pull it off.
“I don’t want you to worry about this stuff babe I’ll figure it out, we’ll figure it out.” She laid her head back on my chest and settled down for the night. Giving her one last kiss on her forehead I listened to her breathing until it tapered off into sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, she was going to her father’s and I had some last minute shit to do before we went on our trip. Dad had done his thing and got her in. She’d been excited by that but she’d questioned the trumped up scholarship that he tried to pass off on her. In the end he’d convinced her that it was legit, she didn’t need to know that it was going to be funded by my parents. I knew she would’ve given me shit if I offered to pay so we had to come up with something and that was the best I could do. Stan being a man had hemmed and hawed about paying at least some if it which I guess was his due so he and dad had worked something out on one of his visits to dinner at the house.
Now she’s all excited about going to school and I was happy as fuck that I could give her that. Her life was coming together little by little and soon the past would be nothing more than a distant memory. She and Carrie were already talking about what they were gonna do to the place that mom and dad had found us and they spent hours on the net checking out the surrounding area for shit to do which translated meant shopping. I also realized that having Carrie as a sister in law was an added bonus for her, the two spent hours talking about their experiences and it seemed to help Kadyn accept that she could have a normal life after suffering through atrocity.
Carrie was doing her best to drag her into the lifestyle of the rich and spoilt. Poor Kadyn didn’t know what to do with herself she was always whispering to me about the prices of some of the shit Carrie kept telling her she just had to have. Carrie doesn’t look at price tags and she’s trying her best to get Kadyn onboard. I’m not sure that she’ll ever reach that point but as long as she got the shit she wanted I didn’t really care. I know one thing; women lose their minds over the silliest shit; though it was fun watching her get all excited about some girly shit that she’d always wanted.
Chapter 25
“Wake up baby.” I was already entering her sleep warm body when I whispered that in her ear. As always she opened her legs wider and made room for me. I rocked into her gently enjoying the feel of being inside her. When we were like this, locked together in the early morning hours her body so tiny beneath mine, the love of a new day so fresh in my heart and mind it was always like a renewal for me.
