“All right, well, I appreciate you calling me. Yeah, I’ll see you then. Have a good night,” she replies and then hangs up.
“Okay, tell me already. What’s the good news? I’m dying over here!”
She gets up from her chair and peeks in on Emily before coming back to sit next to me. “That was the lawyer. We were granted an emergency hearing in two days.”
“How is that possible so fast?”
“They had someone cancel for whatever reason, so Randall took advantage. He contacted Chris’s lawyer and let him know about the hearing. That’s why I only got the call now.”
I pick her up, and twirl her around, and then bring her down for a sweet kiss. That’s the best news we’ve had all week. Finally, we can get some concrete answers on what Chris can do legally. Maybe this will help relieve some of that stress for Tessa. I try to be as supportive as I can, but in this case, there’s nothing I can do.
“They are assigning a guardian ad litem to meet with each of us, inspect the homes, and then make a recommendation to the judge until the hearing for full custody is heard.”
“Don’t worry. They will find no reason to give him custody, Tess.”
Her arms fold around my neck, and then she pecks me. “I know. I’m just ready for it to be over and finalized.”
“I say you go put her to bed, and then we can have our fun.” I wink at her, and she smiles in return, leaving me to go get Emily down.
With no time wasted, I lie on the fresh clean sheets, soft against my naked back, as I wait for her. Our relationship has only brightened my life, and I never want to go back to the depression. As long as we stay open and honest, there are no doubts we will make it.
About ten minutes go by, and then she crawls into bed with me, her cold feet touching me, and I shriek. “Goodness gracious, you need to warm those bad boys up.”
Her head rests on my bare chest, and we relish in the quiet, not worried about anything else but spending whatever time we have next to each other. Most nights we are so tired by the time we make it in here, and we go straight to sleep, but not tonight.
Her hand sneaks downward, playing with the waistband of my boxers, lightly caressing my stomach. The soft touch brings goosebumps, and her emerald-green eyes peer at me; she doesn’t say a word. Somehow, I know exactly what she wants, and I’m happy to oblige.
Tess wraps her hand around my hard cock and begins to stroke me, first slow, and then upping the tempo. My head flies back on my pillow as I try not to come too fast. A woman like her deserves immense pleasure, and that can’t happen if I bow out early.
As much as I love feeling her mouth close around me, tonight is not just about me. She needs a release just as much as I do, if not more. I ease her off me and lay her back on the bed, her hair splayed out everywhere. Starting from her lips, I begin kissing, gently biting her lower lip. I continue my descent until her thighs are reached. A gentle bite ensues, and then I warm her up with two fingers. My baby needs to be ready for me, and I will make sure that happens, even with her body writhing around. As she gets wetter, another finger enters, and right before she is too close, I slip myself inside her.
“Oh,” I say, groaning as her walls begin to constrict around me. My tempo is slow, trying to help us both reach the maximum intensity before speeding up. Sometimes I just want to savor the buildup instead of wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am. Although there is nothing wrong with a quickie as long as you both are up for it.
“Don’t you dare make me come until you’re ready too,” she yells, but whimpers at the same time.
Oh, baby, tonight we are getting lost in each other.
I flip her around, with her ass up in the air, and ease myself back in, and I almost lose it. What is it about this position that just makes it that much better? The view? Tessa’s ass is plump and wiggling upon every thrust, and I smack it to give her a little extra oomph.
We move in sync, trying to get there, moans and groans being heard from both of us. I speed up my pace, getting myself to the brink of no return, and we lose it, together.
I remove myself and scoot to the top of the bed, waiting for her to join me. The stress from Chris’s out-of-the-blue visit, then the abduction, and now the court case has only made things better between us. It’s given me the opportunity to show her the man I truly am. The person she can look forward to being with, possibly forever, and that will be by her side no matter what pops up.
Tess and Emily are my whole world now, and I won’t dare do anything to mess that up. It’s what I’ve always wanted—a family. I know some people don’t want kids, and that’s their own right, but for me, it’s a fulfilling thing. Having a child directly depend on you and raising them to be a great person, it only makes your life better. Emily might not be my blood, but I love her as my own.
Tessa finally joins me at the head of the bed, placing her head on my bare chest, still trying to catch her breath. My fingers run through her hair, and we both stare off into space until the blackness takes over.
