“Poor me,” he whined as he slid a finger inside of me and made me moan. “You’re so tight, Elena.”
“Spread me open, Liam. Fuck me,” I blushed at the words coming out of my mouth. I learned how to be shy all over again in the last few months, but my inner slut was back and ready for him…all of him.
“Damn it, Elena. I intended on going slow with you, but I am so fucking hard right now,” he groaned as he stood and pulled his shirt over his head. Guys did that so effortlessly, and I stared at his muscles for a moment as he unbuttoned his jeans. Liam kicked them off and moved back towards me with a desperate look in his eyes as he crawled over my body. He kissed me, resting gently against me as I tasted myself on him. He eased my legs open with his knees, rubbing his tip over my pussy as I nearly wept with need. Liam kissed me softly as he eased inside slowly, giving me time to adjust as my body gripped him tightly. “Fuck.”
“Liam,” I cried out as he slid home and stayed there for a few minutes. Every part of my body was responding to this, and I begged him to move. I needed him; wanted him. Liam finally gave in and started to move in and out of me, first slowly and deeply. He began to move faster as I moved with him and came with me as I cried out his name again.
“Elena, fuck me. You feel…so good,” he said as he stilled and then jerked against me. I felt him release inside of me as he leaned against one arm and closed his eyes, finally dropping beside me. Liam pulled me close and kissed my hair as I looked over at him, openly crying now. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
“I never thought you’d be here with me again.” He kissed my lips and smiled at me.
“I am never going to be without you again. It’s the three of us against the world.” A frown crossed his face. “That didn’t hurt her, right?”
“No, you’re good,” I laughed as I moved closer to him. I thought about the day and all that we talked about as a frown crossed my face. “Was she upset?”
“Who? Marie?” Liam asked as I bit my lip.
“No, the woman.” He looked at me for a moment and moved to stroke my face.
“Does that matter? I am here with you now.” I just looked at him, and he shook his head. “She was understanding about it. No one wants to be with someone that is in love with someone else, Elena.”
“You’re in love with me?” I asked as he smiled wider. “I have been in love with you since nearly the beginning.”
“We probably should have discussed that before that night.” I nodded and snuggled against him.
Eventually, Elena was hungry again, and we got up to grab something to eat. Marie had sent her home with some of the chili, and I reheated a bowl for us to share at the table. We were just sitting down when the front door opened and Ginger walked in, looking at us with the shake of her head. “Is the band back together again?”
“Are we?” Elena asked me, her eyes sparkling as she looked at me.
“Yes,” I replied, smiling at her. I looked at Ginger, smiling widely at us as she came over to sit down.
“You know everything?” She asked as she took a slow look at us dressed in robes.
“Yes, I know all about the baby,” I beamed as I spoke and she let her shoulders slump as she let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank fuck. I’ve been holding back on Elena with that, but I am so relieved. That being said, she is still my best friend, and that is my niece, so watch it.” There was a gentle look of warning in her eyes, and I raised an eyebrow as I slipped an arm over Elena’s shoulders. “I am going to see this baby a lot. A lot. I just want you to know that.”
“You’ll have to fight that out with Aunt Marie,” I teased her as Elena smiled around the fork. “How was your date?”
“I’m home so obviously not all that great. There won’t be a second one.” Ginger rolled her eyes as she dropped her purse onto the table. “Oh, well. Next time, right?”
“Of course. You’re too fabulous not to meet a great guy,” Elena told her, and I watched as the girls hugged. These two were tight, like sisters and I knew that Ginger would always have her back. I wanted to hug her for that, but I refrained and took a bite of chili while Ginger walked into the kitchen for a bottle of water. Elena snuggled into me, and I breathed in the sweet scent of her shampoo as I smiled. This felt so good that I never wanted to live without her again. I’d do anything
for her and this baby of mine.
We finished the food and washed the dishes before all three of us went to sleep. I stayed with Elena that night, watching her sleep for a little while in the moonlight. She looked peaceful and beautiful, making me so thankful that she was okay after the accident. She was okay, and my daughter was safe. I finally dropped back onto the pillows and closed my eyes, allowing myself the truth that this wasn’t a dream.
Neither of us had to be up early, so we slept in and made love sweet and slow after we were conscious. I knew that she was going to be horny for the next few months and I had no issues with that since we’d spent too much time apart. Elena’s eyes were beautiful when she came for me, the green a shade darker than usual as our eyes locked. I felt a little weird that Ginger was in the same apartment, but Elena assured me that it was big enough to not matter all that much. We just had to stay relatively quiet.
“Great,” I muttered with a frown on my face before laughing at her. I pulled on my jeans to go make some coffee for me and get her some juice, seeing that that apartment was still empty. We all must be sleeping in today. I got the drinks and walked back down the hallway, suddenly wondering what the baby’s room was going to be like. With that thought, I realized that I didn’t want them to live here. I didn’t want part time custody of my daughter since I was so in love with her mom that I’d marry her right here and now.
Elena was reading something on her phone when I walked back into her room, and she smiled sweetly at me. “I love you,” she told me softly, making my heart jump into my throat.
“I love you more,” I replied, handing her the bottle as I leaned down to kiss her. “Can you show me the baby’s room?”
“Sure,” Elena gave me a curious look but stood to get a robe before opening the bedroom door. If it were my choice, she would walk around naked all damn day, but we were in the place that she shared with a roommate. I still had my jeans on so I followed her, and she turned right and then took another right into a doorway. I looked around, grudgingly admitting to myself that the space was nice. It wasn’t huge, but they could fit everything needed in here, and from the looks of things, someone was already shopping. I smiled for a moment, and then the image of my family living apart in two different homes popped back into my head.
I shook it off. I couldn’t go all caveman on Elena and demand that she move in with me tomorrow. We had to give this time and ease back into it, especially since it was such a secret relationship, to begin with. I knew that she loved me and my feelings for her had been clear all along, and that was all we needed for now. I looked at her anxious face and nodded in approval. “I like this. It looks like you’ve gone shopping.” I gestured to the pile of clothes and blankets in the corner as she laughed.
