Cooties? My laugh finally returns a tentative smile to her face. “Oh, I don’t know. Girl cooties are a special breed.”

“What I’m saying, Josh, is that we don’t need protection.”

The thought of returning to the slick heat of her body angles me closer. She moves her hands to my face and closes the distance for a heated kiss. “Love me,” she whispers and lays back, drawing me with her.

Before I’m lost in her again, my sex starved brain flashes the image of a blanket wrapped baby. Protection. “Keni, darlin’. Wait. There’s another protection concern. Babies.”

She sighs. “I have always dreamed of having kids. Even when I thought you were only gay, I wanted your babies. I’m ready to take that chance. Even when our fake marriage is over, I know if we do have a child, they’ll be well taken care of…loved, happy. Please, give me this, Josh. At least the chance to have your baby. Please?”

The hint of desperation in her tone shatters me. “Keni, are you—you must be sure. I can—I mean we’ve got condoms in the other bedroom.” I can’t look at her. Has mentioning Devin, even in such an indirect way, cased her pain?

She grabs the tips of my ears and makes me focus on her eyes. “I am sure. So sure. Love me, Josh. Come inside me. We’ll let fate make the decision.”

“I love you Kendall Castillo.”

She chuckles. “It’s going to take me awhile to get used to hearing that.”

I settle in the cradle of her thighs, my fingers skimming over her clit, checking how ready she is for us to continue. “What? You mean you never wroteMrs. Josh Castilloon your notebook?”

“You were unattainable then.”

“Not any more, darlin’.” With an easy thrust I return where I belong. We’ve waited so long, both tonight and for the years neither of us confessed our love. This time, our first time, escalates quickly and I’m enough of a man to know she needs more than just the friction of my thrusts. Adjusting my angle, I slip my hand between our sweat slicked bodies and press my thumb against her firm bundle of nerves.

“It’s time, Keni.”

“Ah, oh… yes…” With her feet planted against the mattress, she presses her hips higher. Short bursts of her breath mix with mine as in turn I force her ass deep into the mattress. It’s a sensual battle we both win when she keens her release.

My swallowed shout becomes a pleasured growl as my cock pulses out my own orgasm. “Dear god,” I whisper, touching my forehead to hers. “Ah, Kendall.”

“Yes, Josh. Oh… oh…” Another orgasm crashes over her, surprising us both.

I hold her close until her gasps grow silent and the trembling of her muscles slows. After our breathing returns to normal, I make a promise to return quickly and fill the oversized tub in her en suite with warm water and bubbles.

She’s almost asleep when I return yet manages a shy, sultry smile. I hold out both hands. “Come with me, darlin’.”

Her eyes open wide with false innocence. “Thought that’s what I just did. Twice.”

Chuckling, I reach for her. “And now you need a little pampering. You might feel a little sore.”

“Oh. Aftercare. It’s in all the romance books.”

“All of them?” Arm around her shoulders I lead her to the tub.

“Maybe not all. But in the ones I like best.”

Once she’s in the tub, her beautiful body hidden by the bubbles, she sighs. “You really don’t have to do all this. I don’t expect it.”

“All the more reason to, darlin’. All the more reason.”

Devin

Staying away from the suite once the early morning sun shines through the partially closed drapes is impossible.

A glutton for punishment, that’s what I am. I don’t know what I’ll discover. I both hope Josh has told Kendall his true feelings and maybe acted on them, and wish he was still mine and mine alone. No, that’s not true. His happiness is more important than mine. He needs his woman, his Kendall.

Fucking truth is I need her, too. Despite our long and earnest conversations about adding a woman to our partnership, once the reality comes to light, will either of them be able to adjust? Be willing to try?They need to be secure in their new relationship before anything else is considered.
