She shook her head. "Just darkness…and cold. I remember anger. He was always angry."
Jillian froze. "He?"
Natalia nodded. "Yeah…I don't remember him…or his face…but he was always angry." Natalia shook her head. "I'm tired…Can I sleep now?"
Jillian pulled herself up and nodded her head at Natalia. She took her upstairs to a bedroom, and I put everything away.
Jillian came back downstairs after a while and sighed. "She's broken."
I nodded. "Do you think she knows…him?"
Jillian rubbed her hands on her arms and shrugged. "There is a possibility of it. But look at her? She's…"
She didn't have to finish the sentence to know that whoever Natalia had been with didn't treat her right. She had the bruises and pale, skinny body to give it away.
Jillian walked closer to me, wrapping her arms around me. She sank against me, and I inhaled her scent. I held her, feeling lucky that I had her. I kissed the top of her head. "I'm going to clean this up if you want to head up to bed."
Jillian nodded, giving me a squeeze back before pulling herself free. I put the rest of the food away and cleaned the counters. I headed up the stairs and found Jillian in bed.
"Is she all situated?" I asked, shutting the door.
She nodded. "She's already asleep."
I walked closer, pulling the sheets up, and crawled into bed. I pulled her to me, pulling her onto my lap. "Good."
Jillian placed her hands on my chest. Her eyes sparkled. "You know, seeing you being soft made me think."
"About?" I asked, placing my hands on her hips.
Her lips curled up. "A family."
My eyebrows rose. "Really?"
She nodded, running her fingers closer. One of them hooked the strings of my sweatpants. "I know that we still have a lot to figure out, and that there is a lot going on, including a woman in our guest room, but...I don't know..." Her fingers twirled around the string. "I think we would be great parents."
I grabbed her hand, pulling her closer to me. Her breasts were tight against my chest, and her eyes stared deep into mine. "Well..." I curled my fingers around hers. "I'm down for that if you are. But you'd have to go off your birth control."
She smiled softly. "I already did."
I flipped her, yanking at her nightgown. Jillian pulled at my sweatpants and my shirt. We threw our clothes off, staring at each other in the nude. I slid her onto my lap, and Jillian wasted no time sliding herself onto me.
I kissed her deeply, inhaling each breath she released. She ground into me slowly while I placed my hand low, finding her clit. I worked my thumb in slow circles, feeling her tighten slightly.
"Fuck, I love you so much," I growled as I bit on her neck, running my teeth along her collarbone.
Jillian braced her hands on my shoulders, her hips grinding in rougher motions.
"I love you, too," she said through pants. Her eyes locked on mine. I gripped tightly onto her ass with my free hand, bucking up deeper into her. Jillian moaned loudly, and I moved my thumb faster. I felt her tighten up, and a moment later, we both came together.
I cupped Jillian's face as she leaned back. Her face was glowing with happiness. I stared at her, remembering thisfeeling. I knew we still had a lot to figure out, but I had her, and that was all that mattered.
