“Yes,” I answered.
“Why were my grandparents so mean to you and Daddy today? And they didn’t even say goodbye.”
I didn’t expect her to ask me this, and I wasn’t sure I should be the one answering. But I also knew she asked me for a reason. I released a sigh and gave her the best answer I could.
“Sometimes adults feel wild emotions just like kids. You know how sometimes you feel weird about things you can’t explain. This is kind of like that. I think maybe I was a shock to them, so they didn’t know how to react to me.”
Esa nodded, then craned her head to the side.
“Daddy said they went on a vacation. I thought vacations make you happy. They sure make me happy. Maybe they didn’t go on the right kind of vacation.” She said seriously.
I couldn’t help but chuckle at her innocence. I knew she was serious because only my laughter caused her to laugh as well.
“Vacations can make you happy, but you have to want to be happy. Maybe the next vacation they take will be better, and they will be happier the next time.” I told her, not wanting to rid her of the analogy Desmond was using with her.
She nodded, then wrapped her arms around my neck.
“I love you so much.”
I wrapped my arms around her as a single tear slipped down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away before I responded.
“I love you too, sweetheart.”
Esa released her hold on me, then yawned before pulling back the blankets to slip inside. I kissed her cheek and told her goodnight. Moments later, Desmond walked into the room, so I got up from the edge of her bed and left to give them some privacy. Not to mention, I desperately needed a shower.
I walked down to his room and stripped out of my clothes, then turned on the shower. I knew Desmond would let himself inonce he got here. I left a lot of my soap and other things from the many other times I had spent the night here.
I stepped under the showerhead to allow the hot water to knead the knots from my shoulders. I closed my eyes, reveling in the silence. A cool breeze brushed against my nipples as the shower door opened and closed. I didn’t need to open my eyes to know it was Desmond.
I turned to face him, then reached up to wrap my arms around his neck. He leaned down and scooped me up into his arms. The tip of his dick was pressing against my entrance. His glare burned into me, only causing me to go up in flames more for the feel of him.
“Please.” I pleaded.
Desmond leaned in and nipped my bottom lip with his teeth. Then plunged into me, delivering slow and deep strokes. His eyes never left mine like he needed this connection to survive. He needed more of me to fill in the places where today’s events tore holes in.
I tightened my hold around his neck while he continued to bounce me up and down over his dick. I placed kisses along the length of his neck, then bit his ear.
“Use me. I need you to use me.” I pleaded against his ear.
It was all he needed to hear before his strokes became more severe in every sense of the word. I couldn’t hold back my screams if I wanted to. I prayed Esa was asleep.
The slapping of our skin bounced around the bathroom, and my sweet pleas for more covered every surface in the room. My orgasm had hit its peak as I squirted all over him. My muscles felt lax as he followed me over, filling me until a mixture of our desire slid down the length of him and onto the shower floor.
Slowly, he removed himself from me and placed me gently on my feet. Then grabbed my washcloth to wash myself down, then him. Once we were certain we were clean, we got out of theshower and dried off. We slipped between his sheets together, my front to his, still naked.
“I meant what I said in the garage. I need to lay up in it, baby.”
I nodded and wrapped my left leg around his waist so he could fit between my thighs. Then my arms were around his neck. I placed a lingering kiss against his lips as he slid back into me, stealing my breath. My eyes closed briefly, then opened to see him staring intently at me.
What I looked back at me shocked me for a moment. It was clear as day, love. I closed my eyes because I had to be seeing things. I wouldn’t believe it until those words left his lips. I needed more than just a feeling.
All night, he held me tightly until we fell asleep in this position. I had never done this,but for him, I would do anything.
The Grant Meeting
It had been almost two weeks since the big showdown with Veronica’s parents, and Desmond hadn’t talked about the moment since. I assumed he just wanted to move on. I could understand where he was coming from, but things like that always come back to haunt you in the most inconvenient ways if you don’t address them.
I had expressed those same sentiments to him, but he just asked me to leave it alone. I didn’t need to be asked twice, so I left the subject where it was, in an invisible closet, as if the moment never happened.
