Page 39 of The Soul that Redeems Me
His head fell to my shoulder as he kept his weight off of me, his cock twitching inside me, sparking a small orgasm that had my walls convulsing around him. He rolled up so I was laying across him, still buried inside of me and we caught our breath. I listened to the steady cadence of his heartbeat, the sound lulling my relaxed body into a state of tranquility.
Kissing the top of my head, he revealed, “I love you so much, baby. You’re amazing. How did I get so lucky?”
Looking up at him, I replied, “I’m the lucky one.,” placing a kiss on his full lips, his beard rubbing against my face.
I felt him slide out of me and the mess that followed had me sitting up and looking down at the evidence of our coupling. “We may need to get cleaned up.’ I laughed.
He stood us up before he swept me into his arms and carried me upstairs. He placed a towel on the marble counter, setting me down while he filled the claw foot tub. Looking out the window, the snow was falling heavier and I was excited to be able to go out tomorrow and play in it.
Josh picked up me, stepped into the tub and sat down, my body positioned between his legs, his arms wrapped around me. I leaned into his strong tattooed body as I rested my head on his chest. I felt him kiss the top of my head before we settled back into the warm water and watched the snowfall, blanketing the city in a wonderland of white.
“I love you.” he said into the silent room.
“I love you too.” I replied, truly happy for the first time in my life, as his hands linked with mine and we sat there, wrapped up in each other’s arms watching the snow fall onto the city.
We spent the next day exploring the snow-covered city. The storm had passed during the night and we were able to see the tourist landmarks the city was so known for. That night, we made love until we collapsed from exhaustion. Josh was so tender and caring when we were together, always making sure I came before him and observant of possible issues or triggers I may experience.
I hadn’t had any fear or nervousness since the first moment during our first time and my body was on a constant state of arousal. I had grown used to having Josh around as my best friend, but having him as my lover is by far the best thing that had ever happen to me.
Our trip to Chicago was ending too quickly and I knew it was time for us to get back to the real world and not the cocoon of love and amazing sex we had surrounded ourselves in. The entire plane ride home was spent hand-in-hand, a goofy smile on both of our faces. We were met by Caroline and Andrew waiting at gate pickup when we landed in Atlanta.
Caroline and I sat in the back of her new Nissan Armada, a wedding present from Maddie, while Andrew and Josh sat up front. The sisters had matching vehicles and Caroline had given me her old car to drive until I found something I liked. It had been nice to have it since I couldn’t drive my Grom as much as I would like.
“You and Josh look like you had a good time this weekend.” Caroline whispered into my ear while Josh and Andrew discussed the meetings and potential issues to be addressed at their meeting tomorrow.
I felt my face heat up and I shrugged my shoulders, not wanting to confirm or deny her statement.
“Was the weekend one you will remember?” she asked as I turned my head toward her and smiled a secret smile to her.
Feeling her reach over and squeeze my hand gave me faith that my decision to be with Josh was an accepted thing. Caroline knew how much I struggled over the idea of being intimate with someone and her support, for lack of a better word, was important. I hoped Andrew didn’t make a big deal out of it when he figured it out.
“I’m proud of you and I’m happy you two found each other. I’ve never seen him so in love. You are the best thing that ever happened to him. Are you okay?” her voice going even lower.
Turning to her I whispered just as low, “I’m perfect.” My eyes looking up as Josh turned around and winked before returning to his conversation in the front seat.
We didn’t talk throughout the rest of the short drive back to our apartment. They let us out with a promise to see me next weekend for our family dinner and reminded Josh they had a meeting at ten in the morning to bring everyone up to speed after returning from maternity/paternity leave.
We crashed that night, falling asleep in each other’s arms, a relaxing night of sleep after an amazing and exhausting weekend. Josh woke me as he was getting ready to leave for work, reminding me he was taking the train into the office and for me to have fun with the Jeep when I went to pick up Jake later today.
I tried to get up but he silenced me with a kiss and a promise to ravage me when he got home tonight and to stay in bed so that was the image, he could carry in his head all day at work. The thought of him imagining me half naked while he sat in his office had my panties soaked and my need for him extreme.
Maybe I would surprise him on my way to pick up Jake and give him another picture in his head to tide him over until tonight. Getting showered, I threw my hair into a bun and put on my new jeans and blue sweater we found in Chicago, along with the knee-high buttery soft, brown boots Josh insisted he buy for me. Forgoing underwear, I noticed he should just be getting ready to head into his meeting with Jason, Maddie, Lucas, Andrew, and Caroline soon.
I picked up a box of bagels and a dozen donuts, jumped into the Jeep and headed North to drop off some snacks for my family then pick up my fur-baby. Today was turning out to be a great day.
