Laying it Bare After a Loss Page 19

  “More, Mitch. Please put your mouth on me.”

  “Since you asked so sweetly.” Settling my hands on her waist, I twisted her to face me. After one last kiss to her lips, I knelt in front of her and leaned forward to take one of her nipples into my mouth and suckled. While my lips teased and drew the little bud into my mouth, I massaged her other breast before pinching its nipple.

  “Oh yes, Mitch!” Her body shuddered, but before she could slump to the ground after her orgasm had rocked through her, I clasped my hands around her hips.

  Grinning up at her, I rubbed my thumbs along her hip bone. “I want to taste those sweet juices next time, not have them flow down the drain.”

  She dropped her head back against the shower wall. “I want to feel you in me, Mitch. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to experience having you bare inside of me.”

  “I can’t wait either, Cheeky. I’m going to lose my mind; it’s going to feel so fucking amazing. But I always have to get a taste first. You’re too delicious for me to pass that up.” Cupping her ass cheeks in my hands – to help hold her up and because she had an incredibly adorable ass – I pulled her mound toward me. Then I gave her slit a slow thorough lick.

  A few broken breaths escaped her lips, egging me on.

  So I repeated the action and then traced my tongue all around her labia before circling her clit. When her breaths stilled, I sucked the nub into my mouth.

  Whimpering sounds tumbled from her lips and her legs shook ever so slightly.

  Continuing my tongue’s exploration of her luscious pussy, I dipped the tip in and then ran it back along her outside lips again. After a few more dips and passes, I pushed one of my fingers inside to join the party.

  “Oh, yes. Don’t stop. Keep doing that.” Trinity undulated against the shower wall.

  “Are you sure you don’t want something more?” I added another finger and while I pumped them in and out in a rhythm that matched my heart’s pounding, I shoved my tongue inside to make sure I didn’t miss a drop when her orgasm struck. And with the way her tunnel was clenching my fingers, she was on the verge.

  “Mitch, yes that’s even better.” She thrust her pussy into my face and screamed my name. And her sweet nectar coated my tongue and hand.

  After I lapped up every delicious drop, I stood and took her in my arms and hugged her close. “Are you sure, no barrier? You can change your mind and I would be completely fine with it.” Even though, just the mere thought had my dick throbbing even more. “Just let me know now because I can’t wait to get inside of you.”

  “Since we don’t need to worry about anything, I want to feel you like this.” Her pupils flared wide with her words.

  Lifting her, I braced her back against the wall and lined my head up at her entrance before shuttling her down my very eager cock. Without the barrier between us, her pussy was warmer and silkier than I ever could have imagined. I touched my forehead to hers. “Sweetheart, you feel so fucking amazing like this. You are so perfect, don’t ever forget that.” Groaning, I pulled out and sank in again. “I’m not going to last long. But you need to come again before I do.”

  Shifting her slightly in my arms, I drove up into her at a different angle. Her pussy rippled along my shaft. “Oh yeah, I love that too.”

  “Do it again, Mitch.” She reached out and tunneled her fingers into my hair, pulling gently on the strands. “That feels amazing.”

  Swiveling my hips, I pushed into her in measured thrusts before the familiar tingles began snaking their way up my spine. Leaning forward, I took one of her nipples into my mouth and tugged on it as I hammered into her. Bolts of pleasure arced along my nerve endings before speeding along toward my groin. When Trinity screamed as her pussy clenched around my dick and she coated me with her warm release, she sent me into orbit. The tremors rushed over me and my orgasm crumpled me like a race car when it hits the wall at its top speed. A possessive growl erupted from my throat and I pressed my lips to hers, the kiss rough, ruthless, and nothing short of uncivilized. When I pulled back, she gazed at me dreamily.

  “I have no words for that. Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe it.” She shot me a satisfied, somewhat drunken smile.

  “I had no idea what I was imagining but that blew completely past any expectation I could have had. I knew it would feel immensely better but I never would have dreamed it would have felt like that.” I gave her a gentle kiss. “I don’t want to remove him but I guess I have nine months to feel you like this.” I waggled my eyebrows at her. Lifting her slowly off of my semi-hard dick, I set her on the ground. “We should probably get a shower now. You have three days’ worth of filth to wash away.”

  She rolled her eyes at me before reaching for her washcloth.

  I put my hand on hers. “Can I wash you? I promise I’ll behave. But I want to run my hands all over your skin.”

  “Only if I can return the favor.” She raised her eyebrow at me.

  “Deal.” Despite my promise, we were going to end up fucking in here again. There was no way around it. I grabbed the bar of soap and lathered up my hands before placing them on her shoulders. Then I worked my way down her smooth skin to each of her hands before lathering up again to do the same with her stomach and back. After caressing my hands down her legs, including her cute feet, I spent some extra time on her heart shaped ass and beautiful pussy.

  Her head dropped back on her shoulders on a sigh but she didn’t protest.

  When I was finished, I rose and allowed her free reign of my body. I had to lean down for her to reach my shoulders and upper body. I closed my eyes at the feel of her soft hands stroking along my skin. As she neared my groin area, I sucked in a deep breath to gain some semblance of control. But her hands running along my body had my dick roaring to life. By the time she had finished, my entire body was thrumming and I released a low growl before lifting her in my arms and impaling her on my cock. Thrusting into her, I stepped forward to brace her against the wall so she wouldn’t fall.

  The two of us were so aroused, it didn’t take long for her pussy to quiver along my shaft and then coat it with her cream, setting off my own orgasm like a lightning strike. Then I cuddled her into my arms and kissed her cheek. “I love you, Trinity.”

  “I love you too, Mitch. But let’s wash our own hair. As much as I’ve missed you, I don’t think I can go for a round three.” She released a small yawn.

  Poor girl probably slept as well as I had the past few nights – like shit.

  “I’ll take a rain check and wash your hair next time.”

  We finished in the shower before wrapping in towels and heading out to the bedroom to pull on clothes. Then I led her out to the living room and tugged her down beside me on the couch. After flipping through the channels, I settled on a rerun of a sitcom.

  “I have an idea. What do you think about with our arrangement of spending every other night at the other’s house to instead we switch to every other week? It would alleviate a lot of back and forth and save time for getting dinner ready and other stuff. I would give you a key since you are usually done before me.”

  She studied my face for a moment. She was smart and I expected her to see right through my ruse. I was going to find a way to ease her into moving in with me. She still needed some time so this was perfect to help make the transition easier.

  “Even though you are trying to be sly, I appreciate the fact that you are asking me instead of just decreeing it. I love you but I’m not sure if I’m ready to move in with you yet.”

  My heart sank at her words. I was hoping to get her on board with this new idea so that in a month or so I could convince her to move in with me.

  “But I think I could be okay with a weekly schedule. It would definitely be less running around which I would like. But I know you are using this to get me closer to moving in with you.” She raised her eyebrow at me. “But if that’s a next step for us,” she held up a finger to pause me, “in the future, I think this will be a good way
to gradually make that change. I do love you, Mitch. But I’m still reeling from a lot of shit thrown my way and being pregnant again and I’m not sure if I can permanently leave the place I spent time with Ben in.”

  “Hey.” I took her face in my hands. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t even think of things like that. I was only looking at spending more time with you and making it easier on us. But I don’t want to make it harder on you.” I pressed a kiss to her forehead.

  “It’s okay. How would you know I would feel like that? But I want to give this a try. And who knows, I might find myself able to leave that home in a couple of months. And I know I am going to have to donate his stuff to a charity or something. I won’t be able to use any of it with a new baby. I’m almost positive it will be too hard on me so I’m not even going to try. I might like to keep some of his favorite toys in storage but those will be keepsakes for me.”

  “Sweetheart, whatever you need to do in order to heal. We can get a bin to keep his things in and place it in my attic. Or in the back of the closet. Whichever you would like. We can keep his furniture and refinish it and get new bedding or we can get all new stuff. We have some time and don’t need to make those decisions right now.”

  Nodding, her expression grew pensive. “Do you want to see a picture of Ben?” Her face lit up in pure joy.

  “Of course I do. I would love to see a picture of Ben.” Another part of her heart she was allowing me into. That touched me more than her agreeance to sex without a condom.

  Without preamble, she leapt from the couch and scurried down the hall to my bedroom. She was back in less than a minute with her phone in hand. She plopped down onto my lap and curled into my chest. “Wait.” Pressing her cheek to mine, she held her phone in front of our faces. “Smile.” Then she snapped a picture. “A selfie of the day you found out you were going to be a dad.” She beamed down at me. “I didn’t take one of the day I found out about this; I was too much of a mess. But now we have this one to commemorate the event.” Then she scrolled back just a few pictures and showed me a candid shot of an adorable brown haired, hazel eyed, smiling little boy eating an ice cream cone.

  “He’s a very handsome boy. He looks a lot like you.”

  “I know. Other than his nose but he looks very much like me.”

  We spent the rest of the evening scrolling through all of her pictures of Ben from birth to his last days with her. Some tears were shed but she didn’t dissolve into a sobbing mess. She just snuggled into my chest and I wrapped her in a tight embrace. My heart ached for the grief that ate her up inside but I could take solace in the fact she was experiencing a small amount of healing sharing with me. When she fell asleep against my chest, I carefully stood with her gathered in my arms to carry her to my bed. After gently placing her under the covers, I slipped in behind her and snuggled her close. She barely woke to mumble good night. I kissed the top of her head and thanked my lucky stars fate had kicked me in my grumpy ass and I didn’t turn my back on it but allowed it to convince me to give us a chance. Otherwise, I would have missed out on someone amazing, thinking I had already lost my soulmate. Destiny had other plans for me and they included the beautiful woman sleeping in my bed, carrying my child.

  The next morning, I awoke to Trinity plastered across my chest. Careful not to chuckle, I held her and waited for her to wake up.

  About ten minutes later, she stirred and then lifted her sleepy eyes to mine. She gave me a drowsy eye roll. “Glad you find this amusing. Although I don’t find it embarrassing anymore. I’m just completely baffled.” She reached up to run her fingers along my scruff.

  “I love it. You can’t get close enough to me even in your sleep. I know I can never get close enough to you either. But I love you and all of your little quirks.” My mouth curved into a teasing smile. “I wouldn’t change a thing about you.”

  She cupped her chin in one of her hands and drew lazy circles on my chest with the other. “So are we still planning to go hiking today?”

  “If you are still fine with that. Or we can find something to do in town if you’d like.”

  “No, a hike sounds like fun.”

  “My kind of girl.” After giving her a quick kiss, I slid out from underneath her and headed toward the bathroom. “Let’s go eat breakfast and pack up a lunch and then we’ll head out. It’s about an hour and a half drive from here but so worth it. There is a beautiful waterfall at Raven Cliff Falls Trail.”

  When I was finished, I walked out to the kitchen to start making eggs and sausage.

  Trinity joined me about five minutes later. “You didn’t tell me before there was a waterfall. Thank you for planning this. Can I help with anything?”

  “You can make us some coffee and there is orange juice in the refrigerator. And thank you for agreeing to go. It’s cool that you like to do outside things too. Just one more way we’re perfect for each other. I’ve known a lot of girls who didn’t go for those types of activities.”

  She brought our coffees over and set them on the bar. “Apryl strikes me as the easy going type.” Smirking, she took a sip from her mug.

  “You are so amazing. Even though you know I had a thing for her, you don’t mind one bit; you can bring her up in conversation; and you enjoy hanging out with her. But yeah, she’s very easy going and enjoys stuff like that. I think it’s from hanging around guys for so long.” I scooped some eggs and sausage onto two plates and sat down beside her. “Dig in. We’ve got some adventuring to do today and you’ll need your energy.”

  “Will we be back in time to meet up with your friends at the bar?” She forked a bite of fluffy eggs into her mouth.

  “We should be. Even if we are running a little late, it won’t be a big deal. I have leftover salmon from two nights ago we can eat before going to the bar.” I stabbed a piece of sausage and popped it into my mouth. “And that’s only if you feel like going tonight.”

  “I definitely do. I like hanging out with them. And if I’m tired from our activities today, we’ll just cut the night short but I still want to go.”

  We finished our breakfast and then made quick work of cleaning up.

  After changing into light pants, packing our lunch into a cooler, and spraying ourselves with bug repellant, we hopped into my truck and headed out to the trail.

  About an hour and a half later, I pulled into the lot and paid our parking fee. Then I parked in a spot and twisted to Trinity. “We can leave our food here and when we get back, sit at one of the picnic tables or I can pull down my tailgate for lunch. I have a blanket in the back I can put back there.”

  “I like the back of your truck idea.” She glanced around at the crowded lot. “Seems like this is a pretty popular place.”

  “You’re going to love the views.” I slid out of my seat and circled around to her.

  After paying our entry fees, the two of us walked in the direction of the dense trees. Hand and hand we journeyed through the lush vegetation. After about ten minutes, Trinity stopped, her eyes shining in awe.

  “We haven’t even gotten to the waterfall yet, but the sights here are just amazing. I love that there is a wide range of colorful flowers interspersed with the green of the trees. It gives the area a beautiful variety. Probably too noisy to spot deer but I bet we’ll see smaller animals.” Trinity’s gaze swept her surroundings, pure delight in her voice. “I can’t wait to get to the waterfall. I may faint from all of my excitement.” She laughed.

  The two of us had been walking for almost an hour but it hardly felt like any time at all had passed. I loved the outdoors, even in the hot humid Georgia climate, and being with Trinity made the whole experience one hundred times better. With her taking in the sights, squeezing my hand when something enticed her, bumping her shoulder into me as we hiked, never complaining about the heat, bugs, or exertion, all of these things had me smiling so much my face hurt. She was here because she loved it too, not just so she could appease me.

  So when she suddenly jerked to a stop and r
eleased a gasp that had no hint of awe in it, I shot my gaze down to her. Her face had paled.

  “Trinity, what’s wrong?”

  Twelve

  ~Trinity~

  That couldn’t be him. There was no way. That would be an epic fail in our judicial system. However, when the man edged a little closer before heading off down another path, I let out the huge breath I hadn’t realized I held trapped in my lungs.

  Mitch stood directly in front of me and cupped my face in his hands. “Trinity, what’s the matter, Sweetheart?” His expression was panic stricken.

  “Sorry.” I shook my disturbing thoughts loose. “I thought I saw Donovan but when the guy got a little closer before heading off, I realized it wasn’t him.”

  “I’ll never let him hurt you again.” Mitch practically growled as he gathered me into his arms. “Hey, you’re shaking. It’s okay. I’ve got you.”

  “It’s not in fear. I’m not afraid of him. He was never a physical threat to me. He never hurt me physically. It was that burst of anger when I thought it was him that has me shaking. It just horrified me to think he would be out already. It’s only been a year. But thankfully that wasn’t him. But that poor stranger has the bad luck to resemble him. Hopefully it’s only in his looks though. The world does not need another cold hearted scum bag like him.”

  He kissed the top of my head. “Do you want to head back?”

  “No way. I want to see this waterfall. And I will in no way allow thoughts of that asshole to ruin this amazing day with you.”

  Smiling down at me, Mitch pressed a quick kiss to my lips. “Wait until you catch a glimpse of it. Come on.” He took my hand in his again and we hiked a little farther before the roar of the falls grabbed my attention.

  “Oh my God, listen to that. That sounds like something out of a fairy tale.”

  “Come on, princess.” Grinning, he led me down the trail until we ended up close to the edge of the cliff where we could gaze across the gorge and catch a nice side view of the falls. “A beautiful sight even though it’s a good distance from us but I can show you an even better view then.” He pointed across the ravine.
