“That would be perfect.”
The rest of the evening, we discussed the house and made plans to talk to Jeff and Gunner about the design.
By the time we got back to our room at the inn, we were both mentally exhausted. After we walked into the room, Heather collapsed down onto the bed.
“I feel like my brain has worked overtime tonight,” she said.
I let out a laugh and lay down next to her. “I hear ya. I don’t want to talk about houses, barns, and shops anymore.”
Heather rolled over and began running her finger in circles on my chest. “You still owe me three orgasms.”
I turned my head and looked into her eyes. “What kind of husband would I be if I didn’t deliver those to you?”
She ran her tongue along her lower lip and shrugged her shoulder. I sat up and pushed Heather onto her back. I moved my eyes up and down her beautiful body. I reached over and began lifting her skirt, and my stomach dropped as I thought about burying myself deep inside her. When my fingers brushed against her bare lips, I raised my eyebrow up at her.
“Jesus, have you not had panties on all night?”
She giggled. “No.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I quickly moved between her legs and pushed them open. “Hmm…shit…that looks good.” I let out a moan. I began kissing her inner thigh, and then I moved my lips closer to heaven.
I blew on her clit, and she bucked her hips.
“Josh, don’t tease.”
I let out a chuckle as she grabbed my head and pushed me closer to her. The moment my tongue touched her, she let out a moan. It didn’t take her long to start moving her hips as she called out my name.
When I finally didn’t feel her pulsing anymore, I pulled away and quickly began getting undressed. Heather sat up and pulled off her skirt. Then, she began unbuttoning her shirt, and she tossed it onto the floor. I reached behind her, and in one movement, I had her bra unclasped. I took it off and threw it next to her shirt on the floor.
My eyes traveled up and down her body as I licked my lips in anticipation.
“Jesus, Heather, you’re so damn beautiful. I can never get enough of you.”
She wrapped her legs around me, and I slowly sank into her warmth and began slowly making love to her.
“You feel like heaven.” I closed my eyes and took in the moment.
Heather always brought all my emotions to the surface when we made love like this. There was nothing I loved more than being with her. We were one…for always.
My lips moved across her neck as she made the sweetest noises. My body craved her touch. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her closer to me. I needed more of her.
“Josh…” she whispered.
I softly kissed along her jawline. When my lips landed on hers, she sucked in a breath of air. I wasn’t sure how long we had been kissing, but when I pulled away, I pushed harder inside her. I must have hit the perfect spot because Heather let out a gasp, and I could feel her squeezing down on my dick.
I leaned my forehead against hers. “Princess, I’m going to come.”
“Josh…I love you.”
The love and tenderness in her voice caused my heart to skip a few beats. The moment was so beautiful, and I didn’t want it to end.
“I love you,” she said again, her voice cracking this time.
I wiped away a tear moving slowly down her cheek. I stayed inside her as our bodies began coming down from our orgasms.
“I love you forever…plus infinity, Heather.”
I couldn’t help but let out a giggle as I read Elizabeth’s text message.
Elizabeth: I don’t know how you keep up with these two!
Me: I don’t know either, believe me!
Elizabeth: Did you know that Will can open the bedroom door?
Me: Yep. He figured that one out a few weeks ago.
Elizabeth: Don’t worry, honey. We are about to head to the park. Everything is going great!
Me: Thank you so much for doing this!
Elizabeth: We love these little sweethearts.
Josh came walking out of the room, laughing, and he sat down next to me on the private balcony.
I glanced up and smiled. “What’s so funny?”
“Dad said Will had a bowl of oatmeal and tossed it across the kitchen. Mom tried to run and catch it, and he said it was probably the funniest thing he had ever seen. He said she actually dived for the bowl.”
“Oh my gosh. Did she get hurt? I was just texting with her. She didn’t mention it.”
Josh began laughing harder. “Dad said she did a complete split, but I’ll be damned if she didn’t catch the bowl!”
I threw my hands up to mouth and began laughing. “Oh. My. God.”
“I know. Hell, I would have paid top dollar to see that show.”
“Joshua Michael Hayes, that is not nice!”
Josh kept laughing as I giggled and pictured my poor mother-in-law doing a split across our kitchen floor. He finally got his laughing under control, and then he mumbled something about paybacks.
“I’m totally loving just the quiet,” I said.
He reached for my hand and gently kissed the back of it. “I’m glad, baby. You deserved some quiet time.”
We sat there in silence, and I closed my eyes and took in all the sounds.
“Heather, have you thought any more about that teaching position?”
My heart dropped, and I opened my eyes. Mason Elementary had offered me a teaching position, and I had turned it down. When the principal had told me I could have a few days to think it over and change my mind, that was all I had been doing, except for the last two days. It hadn’t even entered my thoughts until now.
“Not really. As much as I would love to go back to work, I just don’t think I can, Josh. I can’t leave Will and Libby.”
I glanced over at him, and he was smiling.
He almost seemed relieved. “That’s your final decision?”
I nodded my head and said, “I love being home with the kids and you. I can help with the business and take advantage of nap time.” I wiggled my eyebrows up and down.
Josh laughed. He stood up and reached for my hand. I gave it to him, and he pulled me out of my seat.
He brought me into his arms. “You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say all of that. I will always support you in whatever you want to do. Having you and the kids home though is what I really want.”
I grinned and reached up to kiss his lips. “Do you know what I really want?”
He angled his head and gave me a sly look. “What do you really want, Mrs. Hayes?”
“To be thoroughly fucked by my husband.”
“Your wish is my command, Princess.”
He pulled me through the door and into the room before dropping my hand. I stood there and watched my husband as he stripped out of his clothes, and my sex began to pulse. I would never get used to this incredible need to be touched by him and to feel him slowly take over my body and make it his.
He walked over to his bag and opened it. When he pulled out handcuffs, my stomach clenched, and I could feel my panties getting soaked.
“It’s playtime,” he said.
I pulled my shirt up and over my head and shimmied out of my pants. Josh walked up to me and began running his finger along the top of my breasts. I let out a small moan as he slowly licked his lips and captured my eyes with his. He reached down, and in one quick movement, he ripped off my panties as I sucked in a breath of air. I loved when he did that. It turned me on even more—if that were possible.
“Get on the bed, Heather. You know what to do, baby.”
I had never moved so fast in my life as I did when getting onto that bed. I lifted my hands above my head and smiled as Josh handcuffed them to the antique metal frame. He leaned down and began kissing along my neck from one side to the other before moving down to the edge of my bra.
“Oh God,” I whispered.
“I’m goi
ng to fuck you hard but not fast. I want to take my time enjoying you.”
My mouth dropped open, and I tried to talk, but nothing came out, except for a faint moan. My body was aching for him.
“I need to feel you inside me,” I whispered.
Josh grinned as he placed soft kisses all over my body. Each time a kiss landed on my sensitive body, I could feel the wetness growing between my legs. When his lips touched the inside of my upper thigh, I about jumped off the bed.
“Josh! Yes! Oh God, yes. Please don’t make me beg.”
He chuckled. I was too worked up to do anything but will him to move his lips to my clit. He slowly pushed his fingers inside me.
I hissed out, “Yes!”
“Heather, you’re so wet. Do you want me?”
I thrashed my head back and forth. I needed to touch him. I needed him to touch me. I needed to come.
“Fuck…Josh…please.”
“Trust me, baby. I will fuck you good and hard, but I want to play first.”
He began running his tongue up and down my inner thigh.
Jesus…
I was going to come without him even touching me where I needed him most. I could feel the build up growing stronger and stronger.
“Yes. Oh God, yes!” This one was going to be big. I jerked on the cuffs and let out a frustrated moan.
Josh slipped his fingers inside me. “Damn, I can’t wait to bury myself deep inside you.”
I pushed my hips up and whined. “Now. Josh, do it now!”
He smiled and slowly got up. He grabbed my legs and pulled me up and off the bed. My breathing began to grow faster and heavier as he inched closer. I could feel his tip teasing my entrance.
“Oh God…” I was going to come the moment he pushed into me, and I couldn’t wait.
“Hold on, Princess. I’m about to—”
Then, there was a knock on the door. Josh and I stopped moving and stayed perfectly still.
“Josh? Heather? I brought y’all lunch.”
Josh’s mouth dropped open in shock as we heard Mindy, our neighbor, on the other side of the door. I shook my head quickly and wanted to cry.
I shot Josh a dirty look and mouthed, Are you kidding me?
He dropped my legs and jumped off the bed. “I forgot that Dad said he told Mindy where we are staying when she asked where we were.”
He started getting dressed as I lay cuffed to the bed. I had never been so mad in my entire life.
What in the hell is that bitch doing here? And why in the hell is he getting dressed?
“What are you doing?” I whispered.
He looked at me like I was crazy. “Getting dressed!”
“Why?” I asked through clenched teeth.
He stopped and looked at me funny.
All those insecurities came flooding back. Does he want to see her? He waves to her every time he runs by her house. Does she still have a thing for him? Is he attracted to her?
She knocked again. “Josh? Heather?”
He looked at the door and then at me.
“Get me out of these,” I said as I jerked on the cuffs.
He quickly walked over and unclasped my hands. I got up and pushed him out of the way. I reached for my robe and stormed off to the bathroom. I leaned against the door as I heard Josh answer the door.
“Hey there, Mindy! Sorry. I was sitting outside, and Heather is in the shower.”
“My, my, Josh. You must be working out.”
Her voice grew louder, so I knew she must have walked into the room. I could practically feel the steam coming from my ears.
“Let me grab a shirt.”
My mouth dropped open. He opened the door without a shirt on?
I looked around the bathroom and found a pair of my jeans and a T-shirt. I slipped them both on and then threw my hair up into a ponytail. I opened the bathroom door quickly.
Mindy jumped. “Oh my! Heather, you gave me a fright.”
I just glared at her. I slowly turned my head and glared at Josh.
“Your father told me you two were taking a break for a few days, so I thought I would make you a home-cooked lunch for today. You could enjoy it out on the patio.”
“That was really kind of you, Mindy,” Josh said.
I snapped my head over and stared at him. My heart dropped, and I wanted to cry.
Who brings lunch over to a hotel, for Christ’s sake?
I glanced back at Mindy. I barely smiled at her as I walked over and slipped on my flip-flops. Josh gave me a questioning look as he watched me.
I grabbed my purse and looked at Mindy. “I’m sorry for being rude, Mindy, but you interrupted us with your little lunch delivery. It appears my husband thought it was more important to answer the door and have lunch with you than to fuck his wife, so I hope you both enjoy your nice home-cooked meal.” I turned my attention to Josh. “Try not to choke on it, Josh.”
Josh stood there, stunned, as I pushed past him and headed out the door. I pulled the door shut behind me so hard that it slammed and rocked the paintings hanging on the walls. I quickly wiped the tears away as I walked through the dining area and living room. Once I hit outside, I began running—or rather, I tried to run the best I could in flip-flops.
I knew I was acting like a child, but something had snapped inside me, and I began to have all those feelings from years ago again. I just needed some time to get myself pulled together. I turned to see if Josh was coming after me, and when I didn’t see him, I cried harder.
I finally came to a stop and leaned against a building. I put my head in my hands and continued crying as I slid down the wall. I sat there on the ground, crying and acting like a child, as I tried to figure out why my heart felt like it had just been ripped out.
I wasn’t sure what I was more shocked by—the fact that I had been about to have sex with my wife, and I’d stopped to answer the fucking door, that Heather had just said what she said and walked out the door, or that Mindy had had the nerve to come here.
“Josh, are you and Heather having trouble? Is this little stay here to rekindle something lost?”
I glanced up at Mindy. She was moving her tongue along the top edge of her teeth.
Fuck. I should have known things would never change with this girl.
I walked up to her and grabbed her arm. She let out a gasp as I pulled her to me.
“Yes, Josh, yes,” she said as she smiled.
“I thought you understood where I stand with you. I am not interested in you, and I never will be. I love my wife, and right now, I’d love to kick your ass for interrupting what we were about to do.”
Her smile dropped. I reached for the basket of food and guided her to the door. I opened it, pushed her out the door, and handed her the basket.
“If you’ll excuse me, I need to find my wife.” I slammed the door shut in Mindy’s face.
I quickly ran over and put my sneakers on. I grabbed my cell phone and went out the side door before jogging to my truck. I got in and hit Heather’s number. It went to voice mail.
“Heather! Baby, please, don’t do this to me, Heather. I’m in my truck, and I’m going to drive around this town all fucking day if I have to.”
I hit End and started the truck. I slammed my hands down on the steering wheel, and then I ran them down my face.
Why didn’t I just ignore the fact that Mindy was at the door? Why?
I was about to put the truck in reverse when someone knocked on my window. I turned to see Heather standing there with tears streaming down her face. I threw my truck into park, turned off the ignition, and opened my door. I jumped out, slammed my door shut, and pulled Heather into my arms.
“I’m. So. Sorry,” Heather cried out.
I began running my hand down the back of her head. “Shh…Princess, please don’t cry.”
She cried harder. “I don’t know what…came…over me.”
I reached down, picked her up, and carried her back to our suite.
“No, Heather, it’s me who should be sorry for doing what I did. Baby, please forgive me. I wasn’t thinking. I just kind of panicked that she was there.”
I slowly put Heather down when we were inside our room.
She wrapped her arms around my neck. “I love you, and I trust you. I’m so sorry I acted like that. All those…the bad feelings…it all just—”
I slammed my lips to hers and started kissing her passionately. She moaned as I slipped my tongue in, and I moved her closer to my body. She pushed her hands through my hair, and I pulled her hips to mine, so she could feel how much I wanted her.
She pulled her lips from mine and whispered, “Josh…”
I quickly pulled her shirt over her head and began taking her jeans off as she fumbled with my jeans. We both pushed our pants down and kicked them off to the side. She hadn’t put panties on, so I grabbed her and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around me as I turned and walked up to the sofa. I set her down on the back of it.
I wiped the tears away as I looked into her eyes. “You are the only woman I have ever loved and will ever love. It’s always been you, Heather. It will always be you.”
I pulled her to me and slammed my dick inside her, and she let out a gasp. I moved in and out of her, fast and hard. It was as if I was afraid that she would tell me to stop at any moment. I had to make her mine again.
“You’re my whole life.”
“Yes…” She panted. “Harder.”
“You’re mine, Heather.”
I grabbed her hips and moved faster.
“God, yes…yours…Josh…I’m gonna come. Oh God, yes! Yes!”
I could feel her pulsing down on me, and it was my undoing. I came so hard that I let out a moan and called out her name over and over. I hadn’t had an orgasm like that in a while. I pulled her to me and picked her up as I continued to pour myself into her.
She wrapped her arms around me and held on to me so tightly. “I love you, Josh. I love you so much.”
I walked us into the bathroom. I didn’t want to pull out of her, but I slowly did, and I gently put her down. I turned and started the shower. I stepped in and then reached my hand out for hers.
