Once she’s come down from her orgasm, I take over.
“Get on your hands and knees, Indy.” She’s panting, but moves, allowing me to get a nice view of her ass.
I slide my dick through her sensitive folds a few times, enticing a groan from her. I squeeze an ass cheek, then slap it. “Fuck, you’re so damn hot. The things I’ll do to this body,” I promise her.
She looks back at me and I see the desire in her expression.
Without another word, I line myself up and enter her to the hilt. She grabs on to the headboard with one hand. She holds back from being too loud, but moans all the same. I can’t help the way my body reacts, my head falling back, my eyes closing at the way I feel completely sated when I’m inside her.
I begin moving, the rush of endorphins flooding my system. My body takes over, like a feral animal needing to seek its release.
I keep pumping in and out of her. I feel that tingling feeling trickle down my spine and I wish I could prolong it. I want this last a little longer, letting the euphoria of her warmth wrapped round my dick last forever, but I know I’m going to combust soon.
“Fuck, Indy, I’m going to come,” I say between breaths.
I’m holding on to her hips, my fingers digging into her flesh and I know she’ll see those marks come morning.
Our skin is slapping, the sound, along with our breaths, being the only thing projecting off the walls as we both plummet off that cliff together. I close my eyes as I orgasm, filling the condom with her name on my lips.
It takes what feels like forever to catch my breath. We both fall onto the mattress, sated and dripping with sweat. I’m looking up at the ceiling and my smile feels like the first real one in years.
She nuzzles into my side once we’ve both returned from the bathroom after cleaning ourselves up. I run my fingers through her hair, my heart starting to settle into a calming beat.
“I missed you. I missed us,” I finally admit.
“Took you long enough.” she laughs.
“Yeah, I was an idiot.”
“You were. And I’m not going to pretend what you did wasn’t wrong. But I’m also not going to waste time throwing it in your face. Life’s too short, Ty.” She brings her chin to rest on my chest, her eyes looking directly at me.
“So where do we go from here?” I ask her.
“Forward. No more looking back.” She smiles and I bring her lips to mine.
My world feels like it’s starting to align again and it all begins with this woman right here. Indiana Ranton is an effortless love—I know I pushed the possibility away years ago, but now I’ll hold on tighter than ever. She is the calm to any storm, and the beauty in this chaos of life. I’ll never take her or Noah for granted; this second chance is the gift I’ve been searching for since I returned.
CHAPTER 39
Fire Hunters
CHAPTER 40
Indiana
This is surreal,knowing that Tyler and I are reconnecting. Not only that, but we’re finally together in a way that I can see him, without hiding behind letters and years of wondering if this is real or not. I thought about letting him grovel for a longer period of time, but I’ve learned life is too damn short.
Yesterday morning he snuck out before Noah woke up. At one point, I panicked, worried we’d fall asleep and lose track of time, but he set an alarm and woke up before Noah would ever dream of moseying out of bed.
All I can say is having Tyler’s hands exploring my body felt like returning home after years of feeling lost. The man had me seeing stars all night.
Now that my head is finally out of the clouds, reality is setting in. All things I was pushing aside yesterday are starting to filter through, mostly revolving around Noah.
As much as I let my prior relationships fizzle, this thing with Tyler feels serious from the start. Mostly due to the fact we’re married and nothing about this is simple.
“Noah, sweetie, do you want the sauce on the spaghetti tonight, or plain?” Food preferences practically change by the hour at this age.
“No sauce, please!” he shouts from the living room. Then I hear his little feet running over. Luckily, we’re home at a decent time tonight because he didn’t have any tee-ball practice after school.
