Beat to Their Heart (15 page)

“I’m not leaving, Joey, well not that way. I just don’t need to worry about disappointing him. I get it, really. It’s nothing new to me. Thanks for everything.” She turned, trying to swallow the lump that was growing in her throat as she headed out the door and into the hallway.

“Skylar, damn it, wait up.” Turning, she found a frantic Joey.

Joey looked at Sky, not sure what the hell happened. He had asked her to marry him, he wanted that more than anything and here she was leaving. But what bothered him the most was she used the words that were said just moments ago.

“Baby, slow down. I think we are lost somewhere. If you heard something, it’s not what you think.”

“I get it, Joey, I…” He had enough and grasped her, kissing her fiercely, giving her everything he had and not letting her go.

“I fucking love you, so damn much, Sky. I have never loved like this before, not even Nikki. I love Milo, he is my boy, my son.” Once again she went to open her mouth, but he cut her off placing a finger over her lips. “It’s my turn now, woman.” She narrowed her eyes at him, but didn’t say a word.

“I was talking about a summer project for Milo and his school. That is what you heard. It’s a music camp for autistic children. Milo wanted to learn the drums, and I don’t want to disappoint him if I can’t find enough instructors in time. That is what we are talking about.” Her gazed softened and wonder filled her eyes.

“You’re really doing all that for Milo?”

“I will do anything for my boy. I love him so much. He is mine, my son. When you and I are married, we will start the paperwork so he will have my name and be ours. I want a real family. What do you think about that?”

“What do I think, oh God, Joey, you sprang all this on me, but yes, a million times yes. I love you too.” Sky got on her toes to kiss him and he met her half way. She didn’t even have to think about anything as Joey lifted her into the air kissing her deep and hard. Despite all the shit that happened today, she needed him.

“Take me to bed.”

“Right now?”

“Right now,” she bit his earlobe, pulling it. The growl he made sent shivers to her sex.

“Everyone, get the fuck out of our house. Now!” He snapped loud enough for them to hear as he moaned while she cupped his erection through his jeans. She didn’t know if the pain pills were making her feel so passionate, or the fact he wanted her and Milo forever. But whatever the answer was, she didn’t care as he cradled her in his arms up the stairs, taking them two at a time. She couldn’t help but giggle that he was excited as she was. However he smacked her ass hard making her yelp.

“Hush now, woman, don’t wanna wake our boy.” Putting her hand over her mouth she hushed herself. Joey opened the door to his room, well their room for good now. He wasted no time in stripping her out of her clothes as he followed in turn.

“Take a bath with me, baby,” it was a command. Nodding, she followed and as he filled the tub with water, Joey took her in a heated kiss, taking what was his. She could kiss this man forever, and now it seemed like she was going to get to. For once in her life her heart felt fuller than even she thought was possible. Joey released her lips before helping her into the bath.

“I want to wash you, hold still so I don’t get your arm wet.” She hadn’t even thought about that possibility. He really did think about everything when it came to her, and well now Milo. Laying back against his chest, Joey gathered soap on a soft sponge before washing her down. Making sure not to get her upper arm wet as he paid special attention to her breasts. Her nipples hardened under his touch. Closing her eyes, she relished the feel of his hands on her body. Throwing the sponge down at her feet, his muscular hands moved south to the place she craved his touch the most. His thumb grazed her lips, making her whimper. Up and down he started to play until he started to rub her clit.

“Does my baby like that?” Slowly, in a rhythmic circle, he tortured her before taking pity on her by sliding a finger into her pussy. Shifting her hips, Sky opened her legs wider allowing him to explore her desires. His lips found her neck and kissed and nipped her neck while he thrusted one, then two fingers into her pussy.

“Come on, baby, come for me,” and like that she cried out her orgasm. Joey still rubbed her clit, prolonging her orgasm, before he removed his fingers. Feeling sated and content, she relaxed as Joey held her in the bath.

“I love you,” she whispered. She could feel his grin on her neck.

“And I love you, baby. But I’m not done with you tonight.” Shifting her forward he stood, making his impressive erection known. He held his hand out for her to stand and get out, but she had other ideas. As he pulled her out of the tub, she slowly sank to her knees.

“Let me take care of you.” Smiling, she grasped his cock in one hand while using her sore arm to hold onto his thigh to steady herself. Keeping her eyes glued on his, she licked the tip like she would a lollypop before she opened and sucked the head into her mouth. The hiss from Joey was encouraging. Making sure to keep her teeth tucked away she started to move up and down taking more and more of his cock into her mouth. Joey growled as he grabbed her hair and started moving his pelvis to a faster beat. Relaxing her mouth she gave him what he wanted. Joey started to fuck her face and she allowed him. He pushed into her until he hit the back of her throat before starting again. The whole time she never took her eyes off him. This seemed to fuel his desire for her.

“God, baby, your mouth feels like heaven. That’s it, baby, take all of me. Oh yeah like that.” More and more he moved faster, until he shouted her name, pushing himself into her mouth as his cum coated the back of her throat. She quickly swallowed the best she could before he pulled out of her.

Unable to stop a smile on her face, she stood as Joey’s eyes were still closed and his breathing was ragged.

“Damn, woman, you will be the death of me.” Laughing at his comment, he walked her to their bed, where he showed her how much he loved her, several times over and over again.

Chapter Eighteen

Joey woke to the sound of voices. Looking over, Sky was sound asleep snuggled next to him with her hair going in every direction, including his mouth. Spitting out the small pieces, he laughed. Now he understood why she always slept with it braided. Sky mumbled something before rolling over going back to sleep. Not wanting to wake her, Joey slipped out of bed, pulling on a pair of jeans before heading downstairs. He was happy to see the guys were already there and feeding a healthy breakfast of doughnuts and juice to Milo. He and Hunter were in the middle of an argument about who was better at Wii bowling. Shaking his head at the pair it was kinda humbling to see Hunter talk to someone. Unfortunately, it was about childish games, but that was Hunter. He was the kid of them all, and he could only pray that he could find someone like Sky to make him grow up some.

“Hey, guys.” He ruffled Milo’s hair before pouring himself a cup of coffee.

“Hi, Joey, is mommy home yet? Uncle Hunter said mommy came home early and you had to get her. Is she okay?” Not liking the concerned look on his son’s face, he walked over and hugged him.

“Mommy is okay, buddy. She got cut at work, but I don’t think she will be working there much longer. But good news, she said yes.”

“Really? Mommy and you are getting married? We’re going to be a real family?” The excitement from his voice could only make him smile more.

“That’s right, buddy, a real family.” Milo practically bounced with excitement about the idea and the three of them spent the morning talking before Hunter offered to take Milo to school. When the house was empty he found Sky’s favorite coffee mug, and grabbed her favorite sugarcoated doughnut that he knew she loved. Heading up the stairs he found her still asleep.

Setting the coffee down on the bedside table he rubbed small circle on her back.

“Come on, baby, time to wake up?” Brown sleepy eyes blinked up at him and then smirked before mumbling something into the pillow.

“What was that, baby?” As she turned she smiled sweetly before responding.

“I said it’s not fair you wake up all perky.” She rolled to her back, making the sheet fall down, exposing her breasts while she stretched awake. Not one to pass up an opportunity he leaned over and sucked a nipple in his mouth while he palmed the other. Her sweet moan was music to his ears. Moving so he was now laying down on the bed with her, he moved to the other breast while his other hand worked its way down south. When he reached his goal, a slight gasp escaped her. His girl was nice and wet.

He released her breast with a pop before looking at her grinning. “Well, baby, it’s a good thing I know exactly how to wake you up.” Moving, he used his body to keep her pinned down on the bed as he pulled the sheet off the rest of her body before he lowered his head down. Planting slow kisses, Joey moved from her breasts to her ribs, to her belly button, to her lower stomach until he was right above her mound. Shifting once again he took her legs so they now were on his shoulders allowing him to feast freely on her. Using his hand he pulled her sex lips apart to expose her hood. Kissing softly, a whimper sent him racing and he needed to taste her. Sticking out his tongue he took one lick and then another, he was eating her out like a starving man. She was sweet and salty. Inserting one finger and then another he sucked her clit into his mouth sending her screaming his name as she came all over his face. Licking her clean, he rose above her while she panted from her orgasm.

“That is, umm, one hell of a wakeup call,” she said while her eyes opened looking at him.

“You ain't seen nothing yet.” And he took his cock and thrusted into her with one long steady stroke, making him groan. She was always so tight and fit him like a glove.

“God, I love you, Sky.”

“And I love you too.” With those simple words he made love to his girl, determined to be everything for her. He made a note that when Milo got home they'd start the plans for their future. He had finally found the beat to his heart and he was more than certain he was the beat to their heart as well.

Epilogue

One Year Later…

Milo was dancing around the living room listening to music on his IPod his dad had given him. Shortly after the incident at the hospital Sky had put her two-week notice in deciding she would be better at home with her guys. But she didn’t realize she would also take on Hunter, Mickey, and now Booker. All the men seemed pretty happy for the most part. Mickey was still a workaholic, and Hunter was a kid by day, player by night, while Booker seemed to tag along to places with them. He still drank, but all the guys seemed to make sure to keep him away from any parties with drugs. But even then, he seemed closed off in his own little shell. However, today was the end of their big east coast to west coast tour. It had been a crazy schedule, but Joey had Face Timed with them every day before he went on, while Scarlett would send her text messages with updates.

“Milo, careful, you almost knocked that over.” Sky was doing her best to try to not look at the clock.

“Is daddy home yet?” Her sweet boy loved Joey so much. After she got married to Joey, which was a small simple affair at their house, they started the adoption paperwork. She was grateful Milo’s biological father didn’t want anything to do with him, even after he found out that Joey was going to adopt him. Scarlett handled it all, and kept it from getting leaked to the press. Chasing Tail had grown since their first album and even won a Grammy and some MTV music awards. She had gone to all the events and stood by her man through it all. All the awards and pictures now resided in their home.

“Not yet, Scarlett said the bus had a flat and sent a car for them to just hop a flight to LAX, but you and I both know how traffic is there.” Even as she said the words, it seemed she said them to try to calm herself. This was the first time they had been apart. The few concerts they did have she and Milo went along, including playing at Time Square in New York during the New Year’s celebration. But this, she couldn’t see taking Milo out of school that long.

During the summer, for a whole month and a half, autistic children came to the camp the men and Scarlett had created. It had been great for PR for the band, but it seemed to help a lot of the kids. Several other bands volunteered their time and at the end of camp, the kids put on a performance. She was in tears when she saw Milo banging away on the drums lost in the music. Even though he wasn’t Joey’s biologically, he had some of Joey’s talent. It could also be that his dad was really amazing with him.

Looking at her phone once again, she begged for it to ring, for Joey to say he was on his way. But nothing but a picture of the three of them. Throwing the phone at the corner of the couch she stood, but just as she did, the sound of the door opening made her stay in place.

“Honey, I’m home.” Before she could say anything, Milo went running out of the living room, into the hallway, and into Joey’s arms yelling daddy the whole time.

“There’s my boy. I missed you, buddy.” Walking over to where her boys where she saw Joey had Milo in a bear hug and off the ground. She loved this interaction between the two. “I got you something.” Joey set their son down before reaching into his bag. Pulling out a package, he handed it to Milo. He smiled before running off to see what it was. Joey laughed before his eyes locked on hers.

“There’s my girl. Damn, I missed you, baby.” Standing still, she allowed him to stalk her. The slow walk did what it always did to her, making her panties wet.

“I missed you too.”

“Never again, never again will I leave that long without you two. I missed you too much.” He grabbed her around her neck and claimed her lips, leaving her breathless. After breaking apart, she couldn’t help but smile at him.

“Hi, welcome home,” she whispered on his lips.

“It’s great to be home.” Wrapping his arms around her the two of them walked into the living room where Milo was grinning with excitement.
