Page 47 of Going for Three

My mouth had to have touched the floor. “Wait. What? I never knew you could paint.”

He grinned shyly. “I couldn’t. I’ve been taking private lessons to learn because I wanted you to have a piece of me in here.”

When he turned to look at me, I was drowned in a tsunami of admiration.

My knees buckled and eyes watered as what he said settled in. “You are too sweet. I love it.”

This was one of the most thoughtful gifts I ever received. To know he learned a skill just to be a part of my secret world and show appreciation for something I had a reverence for broughttears to my eyes. I rushed him without warning, wrapping my legs around his body. He held me close to his chest, grounding me in place.

“Thank you, baby. I love it. I love you.”

He smiled. “I know. That’s why my mission is to give you the world. I’m going to spend the rest of my life celebrating all of you even if no one else can see why.”

I knew it was true. We stared lovingly into one another’s eyes before my back was suddenly pressed into the wall.

I felt the tension of his desire sinking into the flesh of my belly. I moaned as the need to feel him rose up in me with an intensity that nearly crippled me. His teeth scraped across my neck, leaving a trail of fire I felt in my toes. I didn’t know when it happened, but I sighed in relief when he slid inside of me.

“Mine,” he said in a guttural rasp.

The hair on my arm stood up in excitement, and when he moaned, I almost crumbled. He tightened his grip on me, and I did the same, wrapping my arms around his neck. Stars exploded in a beautiful aurora before my eyes. It was hard not to release every moan of ecstasy as they rose from the depths of my soul.

“I love you,” I confessed.

“Keep telling me until you cum all over my dick.”

His lips continued to leave a trail of fire in its wake, traveling from my neck to my cheek to my ear… And then his strokes slowed to a delicious tempo that ruined me. I could feel all of him—his dick, his mind, his heart, his emotions. All of it poured into me, replenishing all my empty places until all I could feel was him.

“I love you… I love you… I love you…” I chanted over and over, melting a little deeper into my psyche each time.

When my body began to vibrate, I knew what time it was. So did he, releasing a groan that sent me over the edge. In thatmoment, I felt only love. There was no worry, stress, or fear… just love… gut-wrenching, soul-stirring, and heart-mending love.

Three Months Later…

I couldn’t stop smiling while getting ready. Vari laid across my bed playing with Keanu. His little giggles filled me with joy. I kept stealing glances of him over my shoulder. He was growing so fast I felt like he was a new size every time I blinked. Even though I would love to be with him, tonight was about his father and me. We were going to have some much needed quality time together.

“You sure you’re okay with babysitting?” I asked Vari for the hundredth time.

He rolled his eyes. “Girl, why do you keep asking me that?”

I sighed. “I just don’t want you to feel like I’m trying to push my baby off on you to go spend time with my man.”

I frowned when he started laughing. He left KK on the bed and walked over to where I stood in front of my full-length mirror. He took the necklace I was struggling to latch from my hands to stand behind me.

“No one thinks that. All parents deserve breaks, Charm. Parenting is physical, emotional, and mental work. I am happy to do this for you, so relax and get ready to enjoy the alone time with your man.”

He did a little shimmy then laid the dainty jewelry across my neck. He latched the ends together quickly.

“Do you know where y’all are going?”

I shook my head. “No. It’s a surprise.”

He clapped his hands together. “Kinga loves him a good surprise.”

I giggled because he really did. “He’s turned me into a believer. I’m excited.”

“I know it got a little rocky for a minute there, but I love y’all together.” He looked me up and down with his arms folded over his chest. “Please don’t make another baby tonight wearing that little dress.”

I was wearing a red satin dress that was ruffled around the waist and had a sexy slit exposing my well-moisturized thigh. There was a cutout in the center that had my ample breasts on display. I gave him a smirk because I had every intention of making sure Kinga couldn’t stop looking at me while we were on our date. Not that he ever denied me his attention, but tonight, I was feeling a little greedier knowing we were going to be alone. I tried to prepare myself for how fine he was about to look but knew it wouldn’t do him justice.
