With her arms around my neck and our bodies moving in sync, she looks up at me. “I hate that you’ve doubted my love for you over the past six weeks. It hurt me.”

I’m suddenly filled with so much shame. “I’m sorry. I’ve been a mess. I know I’m on my way down and out. He’s on his way up. I started to wonder if he wasn’t the better choice for you, but…”

“It’s not your choice to make. It’s mine. I didn’t fall for Layton Lancaster the baseball player. Yes, maybe that was part of the initial attraction, but that’s not love. Us playing and talking ball is something we have in common, like any other couple who has common interests. But we’re so much more than that. I fell in love with Layton Eugene Lancaster, the man with a heart of gold. The man who makes me smile. The man who supports me, respects me, and treats me like a queen. The man who gives of himself, not for the accolades, but because he’s filled with compassion and generosity. The man who makes me feel things I’ve never imagined feeling, who lights me on fire with a simple touch. The man who I not only see in my future but as my future.”

She grabs my face. “I know you long for family and a sense of belonging. I’m your family now, Layton. My family is your family. One day in the future, when we’re ready, we’ll expand our family. Together. That’s what I want. Is it what you want?”

I nod as tears fill my eyes. “It is. More than anything”

“I’m secure in our relationship. I wasn’t in my past relationship, but I think it’s because on some level I knew he wasn’t the right one for me. Even though I probably should be a little insecure given the attention you garner, I simply don’t feel that way with you. I know womenthrow themselves at you, but I trust you and I trust the depths of what we share. Moving forward, can you be secure in our love too? Can you trust me and what we have? Nothing and no one, especially a douchebag like Butch McVey, willevercause me to stray from our path.Ourpath. Together. You and me.”

“I promise.”

We keep moving to the slow beat of the music as she continues, “Sometimes life throws you curveballs. But I believe everything happens for a reason. I thought my world was ending a year and a half ago, but now I wholeheartedly believe it was for the best. If things didn’t happen as they did, you wouldn’t have come into my life. Life threw us both a curveball two months ago, but I believe that someday we’ll realize there was a reason for it. Things were so perfect for us. Too perfect. Maybe we needed to weather a storm to make sure our foundation is solid.”

I nod. I’m so filled with emotion for this woman. I’m in awe of her strength. “You’re right. I guess I was the last to arrive at that conclusion.”

Her face lights up as we continue dancing to the music. “You know what happens when you’re the last to arrive. Let’s have it, superstar. Give me an obscure fact.”

I rub her gorgeous face with the backs of my fingers. “You can fall in love in as little as four minutes. I think I fell for you that first night we met, within minutes.” I wish I had the ring with me right now. I’d propose to her right here at home plate. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

Without a word, she moves her lips to mine again, but this time it’s not sweet. It’s full of passion and need.Six weeks of passion and need. A lifetime of passion and need.

She claws at my shirt as I move my tongue around her mouth and taste every inch of her sweetness. She gives it back to me in spades.

She bites down on my lower lip as her hands move to my sweatpants and pulls them down. My cock bounces free, impossibly hard and already visibly leaking for her. Desperate for her long-absent touch.

She looks down at it and licks her lips. “I’ve missed the sight of that perfection.”

I can’t help but grin widely. “Your brother was appalled by the size of my head.”

She giggles. “Why was my brother looking at your dick?”

“He had to help me shower one day.”

Her face turns serious. “That’s my job, and can we not talk about him right now? I’ve been dreaming of buffing your helmet on home plate since the second I mentioned it months ago.”

I chuckle at her expression as she drops to her knees and grips my cock. Her tongue makes a slow, sensual path from my balls to my tip. She worships every inch of me on the way up.

I love how fascinated she is with the head of my cock. She closes her eyes and licks around it several times like it’s her favorite ice cream cone before I finally see it disappear between her lush lips.

My tip drags along the roof of her mouth as she gradually takes me deep. I can feel the moment her throat squeezes around me.

I grab onto her hair and begin to slowly thrust myhips. “Six weeks of missing this perfect mouth. The way it takes my cock. No one does this better than you, sunshine.”

She traces her tongue along every engorged vein as my cock slides in and out. She’s taking me so fucking deep down her throat, her eyes are watering. I’ve never seen anything more beautiful.

She momentarily pulls away and mumbles, “Fuck my mouth. Give it to me. Deep,” before taking me back inside.

I grab a fistful of her hair, much harder this time, and thrust my hips with fervor as I shove my cock deep down her throat until she gags on me.

She not only takes it but manages to apply suction. Her cheeks are hollow and she’s moaning like I’m her favorite dessert.

I’ve been so starved for the touch of the love of my life. In a matter of minutes, I tell her I’m coming.

She doesn’t release her grip as I shoot a hot, long load down her throat. It feels like it’s unending. I can hear her choking on the volume, but she never pulls away.
