Penny's thighs fall open for me, her wet body laying against my chest, giving me access to her body like a playground.
I want her again already. My dick's already growing hard between us, ready for round two, hoping to spill inside her womb this time. Doing its job of filling her with child.
My fingers work between her legs, dragging through the wetness that isn't due to the shower. Reaching for a better angle, I get two fingers deep inside her, rubbing along her frontal walls in search of that place that will unravel her completely.
I don't want her thinking about today or about the dark things that brought us here. I only want Penny's mind full of us, together, and the life we're going to have from here on, including the one I want to start inside her.
Right now, with her neck craned and her head thrown back against my shoulder, I'd say I'm doing a damn fine job of making sure she has better memories of this cabin than being locked in that godforsaken basement all alone, or the psychos that threatened her.
Wet sounds echo off the tiled walls all around us, the sounds of Penny's sweet ass as she works those hips for her reward, the sound of her eager pussy taking my fingers deep as I work her up and over that edge.
When we've both decided we're too old to fall asleep on the shower floor, I take my time to admire her again as I run a thick, oversize towel over every inch of her naked skin.
"I love looking at you, baby. Love touching you too." I lean down to whisper in her ear, nipping lightly at the spaces along her jaw.
"Love making you come. In fact--" To prove my point, a press in close to her, letting her feel how hard I am for her again. "-- if you're not already tuckered out, I could make sure you sleep real good tonight."
Penny's smile appears from under the towel as she takes it from me and finishes working her damp hair with it on her own. I was probably tangling it all up and she's just trying to avoid having to shave it off.
"I'm all about making sure we both get a good night's sleep," she purrs up at me, one small hand stroking my shaft with a light touch that's barely more than a tease.
"I certainly don't want you to beupall night either."
It's hard to believe the cute little thing playing with my dick right now is the same woman who came into my life scared and not knowing where else to turn just days ago. It's even harder to believe she wants a future with a rough old bastard like me.
Speaking of which-- I toss her over my shoulder and then drop her on the bed, quickly crawling on with her and pinning her into the sheets.
"You and Tyler never started a family, why not?"
Penny stills beneath me, the playful smile turning to something more worried than the sadness I expected I might get.
"We were waiting till he was discharged. He wasn't going to make the military a career like you did. He wanted to be home to raise his kids and never have them worry when he deployed."
I touch my lips to hers, hoping I didn't spoil the mood by bringing up the life she had before me.
"Sounds like the guy I knew."
"What about you, Cal? You never got married? No kids at all?"
"Married the damn US Navy, sweetheart. Kept me busy. Sent me into places and situations I'm still not allowed to talk about-- even with the guys who were there with me. I guess I just never came across a woman who was going to put up with that...probably, I wasn't lookin'."
"You weren't looking for me, either."
Now I get her smile back. And a swat to my naked ass, perking my dick back up before our conversation is over.
"And I'm done with the service too."
"Are you? Harlan said he's trying to talk you into joining whatever he does? And tonight..."
"Tonight was about keepingyousafe. It was about making sure a handful of unstable fanatics don't put you or anyone else in danger ever again. Harlan's got plenty of guys who want the work he offers them. I've told him before, I'm not interested in getting into his line of work...but never doubt for a second that I'll do whatever needs to be done to protect my family."
"You're family?"
"Mm hmm," I kiss her cute little nose and then her chin, earning myself a little frown before getting to her lips. "Family. My brothers...mywife..."
"Wife?"
Penny's soft whisper has me understanding something-- everything's happened so fast. Although I made it clear that she has a future with me, we never got around to talking about what that future's going to look like.
