“Can we start tonight?” Her words came out so quietly that I almost didn’t hearthem.
“We can.” My heart was soaring. My mind was reeling. And I had something I had to take care of. “I’ll go get rid of Jasmine. Can you take Braiden and bathe him while I do that? Then I’ll meet you in his room to read to him until he falls asleep. Then you and I can go to my bedroom. If youwant.”
She looked up at me with eyes that were filled with a nervous excitement I’d never seen before. “Gannon, is this really happening? Or am I dreamingagain?”
“It’s real, baby. This is the most real anything has ever felt to me. And I don’t want you to worry about a thing. I’ll be so gentle with you, I promise.” I kissed her again as her lips begged me to doit.
One more sweet kiss, the second of what I prayed would be billions upon billions. Never had I known love like this. I had fallen in love with my son and somehow also opened my heart up in a way it had neverbeen.
Between him and Brooke, I now felt love overflowing inside of me. And things could only get better fromhere.
“Gannon, I know you said you could talk to Brad and make him understand. But I don’t want you to do that. Please promise me you’ll keep this a secret. I don’t want the staff to know either. Please.” She looked at me with pleadingeyes.
“But …” I had to protest. She had to let me be honest and open about this. She was the best thing I’d ever found, outside of Braiden. I wanted to shout that from therooftops.
“Please, Gannon. Promise me. This will be our secret and oursalone.”
With a sigh, I dropped my forehead to hers. “Okay. I promise you that. Fornow.”
Only fornow...
Chapter18
Brooke
My dreams were coming true.Gannon felt the same way I did. A little over a few weeks had passed before he’d been able to admit his feelings for me, but he’d finally done it and I hadtoo.
Watching him as he read a book to Braiden made me melt even more than it usuallydid.
Knowing he and I were in love made this all that muchsweeter.
I could see it all in his eyes. He’d meant what he said when he had told me he loved me. I’d known that for a while. His eyes had told me that long before his mouthdid.
I glanced at Braiden as his eyes closed and his breathing slowed. “He’s out.” Gannon kissed his son on top of his head, the way he’d done every night since that firstone.
I’d seen Brad a few days back, and he’d told me he’d never seen Gannon so happy and full of life. He credited Braiden for that. I knew that was a part of it, but so wasI.
If only I was older, then maybe we could be open with this. But I was still a child in my family’s eyes. I knew we’d have to keep it a secret. Probably for a very longtime.
Putting the book back in the bookcase, Gannon looked my way, catching me as I watched him. “Youready?”
A wave of shyness took me over, but I fought it back. I nodded and got up from the other side of Braiden. He waited for me then scooped me up into his strong arms, carrying me out of the bedroom and across the hall tohis.
My stomach was a mess. Butterflies had given way to rabid bats. I laid my head on his broad shoulder to try to steady myself. He was going to see me naked! “God, I’mnervous.”
“I’m glad you’re admitting that. You wouldn’t be human if you weren’t nervous.” He kicked his door closed behind us then took me to his bed. Laying me down gently, he stood over me, looking down at me. His large fingers went to work, unbuttoning my shirt. He pushed it open then climbed on the bed next to me and kissed the tops of my breasts that spilled out of the bra. “How I’ve wanted to taste you,Brooke.”
My stomach tightened with my shyness. But I had to admit something to him too. “I’ve wanted to taste you too,Gannon.”
He pulled his warm mouth off me, looking up at me. “Youhave?”
I nodded. There was so much to explore on one another. I found myself lacking patience, wanting to do it all right away, despite my irrational fear of him seeing my naked body. “How about you letme…”
He didn’t let me finish. “No. You’re going to let me do things to you. Then we’ll see about letting you do things to me. I want to show you things you’ve never felt, first. I’ve been dying to,baby.”
My heart stopped, my body quivered, and I tried to ready myself for the adventure he was about to take me on. “Okay.”
Easing my clothing off, inch by inch, he was going so slowly that I was about to cry out with the impatience I was feeling. It came right along with the unbearable feeling of anxiety at him looking me over. I just wanted him inside of me. I wanted to feel his weight on my body. I wanted to feel his cock spreading me and fillingme.
