Page 93 of Everlasting Love

“Good night, Rose. And thank you again.”

“Good night, Mom.”

“See you kids in the morning.”

Lloyd steps behind her and wraps his arm around her waist. “I just came down for a glass of water and to say goodnight. Thanks for being so welcoming, especially since you weren’t expecting me.” He looks down at Mom, and I love how he’s looking at her like she’s the air he breathes. “When it came down to it, I didn’t want to miss a single minute with this amazing woman now I have my chance.”

Oh my gosh, he’s so sweet. Mom melts into him, and I don’t think she’s stopped grinning the entire time she’s been home. I point to Mom’s face. “Anyone who puts that smile on Mom’s face will always be welcome.”

He tips his head. “Thank you. I’m going to head up to bed.” He kisses Mom’s cheek. “See you soon.”

Mom takes his hand. “I was on my way up. Good night, kids. See you in the morning.”

“Night.”

“Good night,” Shane says. Once Mom and Lloyd are out of sight, he links his fingers with mine, pressing a kiss to my forehead. “I’m just going to check all the locks, and we can head up.

Pressing up on my toes, I kiss his cheek. “Okay. I’ll be waiting.”

I spin toward the stairs and Shane smacks my ass. “Be naked.”

Great. Now my panties are soaked. It seems that’s the permanent state of my underwear these days. I take the stairs two at a time and strip off the minute I close myself in our bedroom—ourbedroom—and squeal quietly with happiness.

Shane’s footsteps sound on the stairs and I scramble onto the bed to get into position. My heartbeats increase in speed when I see the doorknob turn and the door open. The man of my dreams steps through the opening and closes the door softly behind him. He gracefully moves forward dragging his T-shirt up his body and over his head in one swift action. My heart sings with happiness that he’s so comfortable getting naked with me now. I drink in the perfection of Shane’s physique, his defined abs, and that incredible V that makes my mouth water. “You’re so beautiful,” I murmur. I know I should probably use handsome, but he really is a beautiful male specimen.

He tosses his shirt to the side with a smirk, then his hands drop to his pants. I crawl to the edge of the bed and sit, then gesture for him to come closer. He obliges and I take over removing his pants, pushing them down his legs and he steps out, kicking the fabric to the side to join his T-shirt. I immediately stroke his dick and dip down to lick around the head, paying special attention to the slit, and tasting his salty precum. His fingers weave into my hair and he grips the strands tightly, eliciting a moan from me. He uses his hold to pull my head away from his cock and holds his finger over his mouth. “You’re gonna need to keep the noise down, Blue. Can you do that?” I nod the best I can as he holds my hair. “That’s my girl.” He smirks at me and pushes my head back down on his cock, his other hand holding it upright for my mouth.

I go to work, sucking, licking, and stroking his beautiful dick—the experience is so much better now that I can touch him with my hands. I collect his balls in one hand and gently massagethem as I take his cock as far as I can down my throat. “Oh fuck,” he grunts quietly.

Pressing my flat tongue along the underside of him to add pressure, I moan softly around his shaft. He pushes his hips forward and my eyes water as his cock thickens in my mouth. Suddenly, he pulls out, and if it weren’t for his grip on my hair, I would fall flat on my face. Looking up at him in confusion, I ask, “Why’d you stop?”

He cups my cheek. “Because I don’t want to come down your throat. I want your pussy.” He kisses my lips as his hands slide beneath my ass and he lifts me from the bed. “Wrap your gorgeous legs around me.” I do as he says and he carries me over to the wall. “I need you hard and fast and the bed squeaks too much.” He takes my mouth in a messy kiss as my back meets the cold wall and he impales me on his cock. I moan into his mouth as he withdraws and pushes back inside repeatedly, pressing against my clit each time just the way I need it. He hammers inside with precision, and I have no idea how he does it while he’s holding me up.

I press my feet into his ass and grip him tightly as my body winds tighter and tighter like a rubber band ready to snap. Our kiss mimics the actions of our hips and everything that he’s doing to my body sends me into overload. My vision goes fuzzy around the edges and my breaths seize in my lungs as I grind against him relentlessly. My pussy tightens to the point where Shane’s movements are restricted, and I feel him thicken inside me while his groan rumbles through his hard body as we reach our peak.

We break apart to catch our breath and Shane drops his forehead to mine, our eyes connecting and locking. Breathlessly, I chuckle. “Oh my God, I’m pretty sure I was close to suffocating.”

He chuckles silently with me, kisses the tip of my nose, and then carries me across to our bed. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Vi.”

I liquify in his arms. “I know,” I whisper. And I do. He would protect me and Jasmine with his life, of that I’m one hundred percent certain.

His face looks pained as he withdraws from me, and I miss him immediately. Grabbing a wad of tissues from the bedside table, he gently presses me back onto the bed and then sets about cleaning me up. His gaze rises from my pussy to my face and he gives me a boyish grin. “I can’t wait until it’s our turn to announce that we’re the ones having a baby.”

Surprise rises thick and fast. “You want to have a baby with me?” I whisper, part of me afraid that he’ll rescind his words. After all, Jasmine was the reason Allen no longer wanted me. He wished we’d never had her. “A baby is a huge commitment, and it changes a relationship. They need a lot of care and attention which means less attention for you, especially when they’re newborns. I’ll probably be tired and won’t feel like having sex as much, especially in the first few months.” I tease the bottom of my hair with my fingers. “Some men don’t like being second best.”

He balls up the tissues and tosses them in the trash. “Hell yeah. I want to have a baby with you. You’re an incredible mom and I’m not a child. I don’t need to have all of your attention all of the time.” His dark eyebrows slash low. “And I’m here to help. You won’t have to do everything on your own like you did with Jas.” He crawls over me and tenderly presses his lips to mine. “Would you consider going off your birth control?”

I wrap myself around him and kiss him all over his face, making him chuckle. “I won’t take it anymore but it may take a while to clear my system.”

He blows out a breath and his shoulders relax. I hadn’t even noticed he was tense. “Thank you. You have no idea how much that means to me.”I think I do. Dropping his lips to mine, he pushes me back onto the bed, presses his body against mine, and slides back inside. “We’d better start practicing.”

Slowly, steadily, silently, he makes love to me until we both come undone again.

SHANE

Toby,Peta, and I sit in a quiet booth tucked in the back ofDeclan’s Diner. Toby had a hankering for a kebab today, and while I’ll never understand why he can’t just get the food delivered to his house, I understand his craving. The kebabs here are the best around. We were going to bring Daisy with us but when Rose found out about Toby’s meeting with his manager today, she and Lloyd decided to tag along with me to Toby’s place so they could fuss over her for a couple of hours.
