“I love touching you,” he says.“I love the air you breathe.I love that you want me as much as I want you, baby.You’re the light in my life, Autumn.You’re my happiness.My everything.”

“Judah!”I writhe, coming to my end after he destroys me.And I stare into his eyes while moisture comes to mine.

“Ah,” he groans and pants.He moves his hand, finally, and then he kisses me, pushing his tongue deep into my mouth.

I lie here and devour all of him, opening my mouth wide, accepting his strokes, sucking on his tongue and holding him close.Oh, this is the life.This is love.

Chapter 31

I drive to the recreation center, and with a bouquet of flowers, I get out of the car and head inside.When I open the door, I see my baby immediately.She stands and runs over to me as if I didn’t slide my tongue down her throat before she left the house this morning.

“Hey, baby,” she says, throwing her arms around me.

“Hey.These are for you.”

“Aw.Thank you, Judah.They’re beautiful.”

“You’re welcome, sweetheart.Happy one-month anniversary.”

She gasps.“It has been a month.That went by so fast.”

“They say it always does when you’re having fun.”

“Amazing.”

“You want to know what’s even more amazing?”I ask.

“What’s that?”

“I’ve invited your parents and my parents over for dinner this evening.”

Her eyes grow big and beautiful.“You did not.You hate having people at the house.”

“Yes, but I made an exception this time, sweetheart.For you.”

She sets the vase on her desk then returns to embrace me again.“Thank you.”

“You’re always welcome.”

“Hey, what about the food?”

“It’s all taken care of.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“It should be a good time.”

“It will be.”I kiss her lips and say, “Go ahead and get back to work.I’ll see you later.”

“Okay.Bye.”

“Bye, baby.”

“Good evening, Mrs.P.”That’s what I call her mother.Her father told me to call him Fred.He’s getting something out of the car.

“Good evening,” she says as she enters my humble abode.“You have a lovely home.It feels so cozy and inviting.”
