Page 20 of Her Dark Melody
Atlas considered as he took her hand. “In different ways. Mateo is quicker to anger, whereas I’m the one who will take a lot until I blow, then it’s likeArmageddon.”
Ebony studied. “I can’t imaginethat.”
“I lost my temper at work the other day,” he admitted. “A man showed up, one responsible for his wife’s death on Romy’s operating table. If she hadn’t been there to restrainme…”
She kissed him softly. “There are places and times when exploding isunderstandable.”
“I’m so glad you agree.” He grinned at her and rolled his hips, playful once more as he tumbled her back into the snow and kissed her over and over, their laughter ringing through the vastproperty.
The restof the day passed quickly, playing with Fino, who Ebony was madly in love with, and joking around with the Tigri twins. As she and Atlas left for the city, Mateo huggedher.
“So, we’ll see you in two days forChristmas?”
Ebony nodded, kissing his cheek. “You will, thank you, Mateo. Thanks for making me feel sowelcome.”
“My pleasure, honey.” He winked at his brother. “I always said my brother had good taste. You’ll meet my Molly then, too. I know you will getalong.”
Fino also clung to her and Ebony felt something shift inside her. Was this what having a child would feel like? This joy, this wonder of the new? “Come back soon,” Fino ordered, and Ebony grinned athim.
“How can I resist such a request? Bye, Fino, next time I see you, you’ll have to teach me how to playchess.”
Mateo coughed something that sounded suspiciously like ‘geeks’ and Fino grinned at hisdad.
In the car,Atlas looked over at Ebony. She was smiling to herself. “Did you like my family,baby?”
She nodded. “Very much, Atlas. Mateo and Fino have such a wonderfulrelationship.”
“They do. No one was more surprised than me when Mateo stepped up to be a father. He astonished me. He was always the playboy of the two of us, reckless, and sometimes irresponsible, but when Fino came along, it was almost instantaneous, the change in my brother. He’sincredible.”
Atlas smiled at Ebony but was surprised to see tears in her eyes. “Hey, hey,hey…”
Ebony half-chuckled. “It’s okay, it’s just so moving. And Fino is such a wonderful littlekid.”
“He is.” Atlas touched her cheek. “How about you? Do you wantkids?”
Her faint hesitation surprised him, given how well she’d gotten along with Fino. “In time. And I want a guarantee he or she will beexactlylike Fino.” Ebony colored. “I mean…I’m not presuming…oh god, I really stuck my foot in mymouth.”
Atlas grinned at her. “No, you didn’t. I already know I would love to have kids with you. Does that scareyou?”
Ebony gave a strange half-laugh, which almost sounded like a sob. “Alittle.”
“No expectations,” Atlas said lightly, trying to ease the sudden awkwardness, “Just afact.”
Ebony was quiet for the rest of the journey and Atlas wondered if he’d scared her off. “Look,” he said, as they rode the elevator to his apartment. “All I meantwas…”
“It’s okay,” Ebony interrupted him, her hand on his face. “I know what you meant, and I feel the same. But we’re in the very early days of whatever thisis.”
Atlas smiled ruefully. “You’re discovering one of my many faults – I get overexcited, and overreach. I’m just happy wemet.”
Ebony smiled at him. “Me too,Atlas.”
They sat up talking until late, cuddled together on the couch until Atlas swept her into his arms and carried her tobed.
Their lovemaking was tender and slow-burning this time, Atlas’s thick, long cock thrusting in measured strokes as they kissed and caressed each other. Atlas admired Ebony’s luscious body as she writhed beneath him, the dampness on her skin making it glow, the way her full breasts, her softly curved belly undulated with their movements. Atlas loved the feeling of being buried deep inside her velvety cunt. Her vaginal muscles contracted around his shaft, milking him, caressing him until he was shooting cum deep into herbelly.
“God, you’re amazing,” he gasped, shuddering and groaning as he came, admiring the way her back arched up as she came, her thighs clamped around his waist. They fit together soperfectly.
They fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms, but in the early hours Atlas woke suddenly. Finding the bed empty beside him, he sat up, listening. From the bathroom, he could hear violent wretching and immediately swung his legs out of bed in concern. “Ebs?”
