"I am ready to go to bed with you every night and wake up to you every morning, just like I have done most nights since the day we met.I am ready to be as loud as I want and walk around naked with you.I am ready to skinny dip in our pool together.I am ready."I emphasize the word am each time to put significance on its meaning."I forgot that the move-in date was so close because there seems to be something going on all the time.I tried to stab someone, then there was Nathan, then someone else attacked me" his whole body tenses when I mention the attacks."Then there was Nadia and it's just that there are so many things going on that I have a hard time splitting my focus.I'm going to go home and pack today.I promise."

He holds me closer to him and I know he's relieved."Did I tell you that I took Eli and Vaughn by there to see the house from the outside?"

His head pops up and he looks at me questioningly."You did?"

"I did.They think it's beautiful."

He quirks up a brow."And?"

I draw out the a when I say, "And they still think it's too soon, but they will support us."

He cocks his head to the side and regards me speculatively."Us?"

This man sees everything and hears everything."Okay so they will support me, and I support you, so by proxy, they support us."

His chest shakes with silent laughter.He lifts his head to kiss my chest, leaving a trail of kisses down to my nipple.He sucks my nipple into his mouth, and I gasp.He knows I can't resist that."Adam" I scold him.

"Love" he responds as he focuses his attention on the other breast.He continues to ignore my pleas for mercy, and I feel him hardening as he kneads, sucks, and kisses my breasts.My resolve crumbles, and I give in to him just as he pushes back inside me.

CHAPTER 40

Adam

It's here.The dayis here and she's ready.

Today will be painful but I know she can take it.After insuring that Eve is fully pliant and too tired to fight me on my plans for today, we eat breakfast and get dressed.She asks repeatedly how she should dress for the plans that I have, and I know that she's only fishing for details.I get what I need from the nightstand drawer and put it in my pocket being sure to keep it from her view.

"What was that?"She reaches for my pocket.

"You've already had my dick twice today, love.It's not even noon yet.Do you really need it again?"

She glowers at me."What's in your pocket, Adam?"

I jerk her roughly into my body, pressing my semi-hard length against her stomach."You never have to beg for it, Love.If you want my pants off, just say so.Better yet," I grab her hand and put it on my zipper."The entry point is here.Just take what's yours."

She laughs and tries to pull out of my hold.I just hold her tighter and whisper in her ear."I.Love.That.Sound."Her laugh adds years and quality to my life.I kiss her temple and release her."Let's go."She lets out an irritated groan and I kiss her forehead.A kiss for whatever response I get from her.At first, I fought the urge to touch her.It was so strong, and I didn't quite understand it.Now that I know she truly is mine, that she has always been mine, I deny myself no part of her.I touch her, I kiss her, I get inside her anytime I want.Grandpa tried to explain it to me.To tell me what it would be like.He undersold the experience.
