Saving Each Other (BWWM Romance) (37 page)

“My son.” He turned with him and began walking into the living room. He sat on the couch and then looked at him. He held him out in front of him. “We are going to have fun, little one. You just wait and see. I will teach you how to play baseball and we will go to football games and I’ll teach you how to tie your shoe. We’ll go camping. There is so much I am going to show you.”

I stood there shocked as he made plans. Did he think he was taking him? He looked up then and I saw the spark in his eyes. I knew him well enough to know that he wouldn’t even think of taking him away from me. No, David may be an ass sometimes and be cocky, but he wasn’t cruel and that would be cruel not only to me but our son as well. Our son. It had a weird ring to it. “I’m going to go get him a bottle.”

He nodded as he looked up at me and smiled again. I quickly made my way into the kitchen and went about doing just that. I knew it was time for Jamal to eat and knew he would begin to cry soon because of it. When I came back in I saw that David had moved the coffee table and laid the blanket from the edge of the couch down and was on his side playing with Jamal. They looked so happy that I almost didn’t want to interrupt.

“Look, Mommy’s here with food. Yummy milk. I bet you want some of that don’t you?”

I laughed as I sat the bottle on the table and went to retrieve Jamal and brought him back to lie in my arms. As I fed him, I felt the couch sink down as David sat beside me. His eyes were mesmerized as he watched me feed our son. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”

“You should be. But I understand.” I looked over at him. He was so close I could feel his breath on my arm as he bent down to kiss Jamal’s forehead. “But understand that I want to be in my son’s life.”

“Good.”

“Good.” He stared at me and I quickly looked away. He was taken. After burping him, I took Jamal to lie down. He was asleep before I had him lying in the crib. I never heard him come up behind me. “He sleeps well then?” I felt the warmth from his body close to mine. I inhaled sharply when his hands touched my shoulders. Before I could think, I had turned around to look at him.

“David.”

“Damn you, why do you push me away?”

“You are taken. You are happy.”

“I would have been with you.”

“I’m not right for you.”

“Don’t tell me what is right for me. I have a mind to make up my own decision.”

“You did. I heard you talking to your brother.”

“When?”

“That night. The last time we were together. I heard what you told him.”

“What, pray tell, did I tell him about you?”

“You agreed with him that I wasn’t right for you. You said that it was just a fling. You said that it didn’t mean anything.”

He stood there and looked at me with a confused expression. “I never said anything like that about you.”

“I heard you.”

His eyes widened like he realized something. “That night. The last night we were together he called me, yes, but we weren’t talking about you. He was talking about Kelly. She was my secretary. She moved away and got married. He wanted to make sure that I was okay with it. He had just found out. I told her it was just a fling and I wasn’t stuck on her. Nowhere had I been talking about you.”

“Oh.” I felt like an idiot. But then I looked at him warily. Why should I believe him? “But you are getting married. You never said you wanted anything more. I don’t want you to be with me because of Jamal.”

“Oh dear heaven, woman. Why do you think I came to your house? Four different times I might add. I didn’t want to be without you. I missed you terribly. I still do. Yes, I’m getting married but it was to get my mind off you. We are not getting married because we love each other. We were getting married because of the wrong reasons. I wanted the connections for the business and both our families have been telling us both that we were getting old. They keep telling us how we need to settle down.”

“So you don’t love her?”

“No. I don’t love her.”

“It would make this even worse than it really is.”

“Well although it is a sticky situation, I think we can get across it.”

“Not the situation.”

He looked at me with confusion written all over his face. “Not the situation? Then what are you talking about? You're talking in riddles.”

“I was talking about this.” My hands wrapped into his hair and brought his head down to mine to kiss him deeply. His lips coasted across mine as he gripped my hips and brought me flush against this body. He moaned deep into my mouth as he moved against me. I felt his hands coasting over my body like he was trying to memorize every dip and curve. He took his time to caress me and I moaned back into his mouth when his hands slipped up to cover my breasts. I was still pumping milk and breast feeding and my nipples were sensitive to the touch.

“I heard that a woman’s breasts were a lot more responsive when they just had a baby. Tell me, does this feel good?” He lightly pinched one causing me to moan again from the sparks it sent through my body.

“It’s okay. I will make you feel good. Come on.” He took my hands and I let him lead me from the nursery. My nerves were on edge and I felt my body shake with them. I was shaking and couldn’t keep my breathing under control. He turned me to press me against the wall in the hallway and I felt the hard coolness seep through my shirt. His hands glided down my arms and then onto my waist to caress my hips again before gripping my ass and bringing me up to him. He did not kiss me but rather stared deep in my gaze as his hands made my body come alive. There wasn’t an inch that he didn’t touch and caress. He grinned slightly before lowering his head to kiss along my throat. His hands came up to slide and caress against the back of my neck. He held my neck still as his lips coasted down and back up, kissing along the bones that were there and up to lick along my chin. His lips sipped at mine before dipping down to kiss my neck again and then to my ear. He traced the shell of my ear with his tongue before it sank into my ear.

I felt the sensation shoot through my body as I felt my panties get even wetter. I wanted him. No. I needed him. I needed him more than anything I had ever wanted in my life. I felt his hands undo the buttons of my shirt before he brushed the pieces of cloth from my body and down my arms to toss it across the room.

He didn’t care where it landed and at the moment I didn’t either. I moaned when he slid my pants down off my body. Next was my bra and I eagerly helped him to remove it before grasping his shirt and pulling it up over his head and off. His pants dropped to the floor with a thud and then he was walking me backwards to the bedroom. He led me backwards until I felt the bed bump the back of my legs. I fell to the mattress just as he followed me down.

There was nothing said as we stared at each other. He pulled my panties from my body just as his boxers fell and then he crawled up over my body. I cradled him in my thighs and gasped as he made his way inside my body. He groaned deep in his throat as he pushed inside my depths. He was long and hard and I moaned as I imagined my climax. I just wanted him to continue, no matter what. The last thing I wanted was for him to stop and I told him so as I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled my body up to meet his next thrust. He kissed me again then and began to move inside me. I felt the sensations begin to spiral in my stomach as he started moving faster within me. I gasped and begged him for my release. When it finally came, I splintered into hundreds of small quakes as I saw stars and tried to breathe through the sensations. It was almost too much but it was the most amazing feeling I had ever felt within my body. I gasped and moaned and felt my body shake with the effects of the massive orgasm. I finally fell next to him and soon I was asleep. I woke to Jamal’s cry.

I glanced over to see David lying there naked and under the covers. He must have covered us both sometime in the middle of the evening. I slid from the bed and wrapped myself in the robe I had hanging on the door. I made my way to Jamal’s room and smiled down at him. He cooed up at me and I picked him up to cradle him in my arms. Lowering the robe, I brought him to me to feed.

“Now that is amazing.”

I looked up to see David standing in the doorway with his boxers on. “I thought you were asleep.”

“I was.” He made his way over to my side and I watched him stare down at Jamal suckling at my breast. He smiled as his hand swept his hair back from his forehead. “I have to go into the office though and as you know, there are some things I need to sort out.”

“Yes, I am sure. Just promise me that you will be in his life.” I looked at him worriedly.

“What, did you think I would just leave now? Come on, Trina. Give me more credit than that.”

I looked at him innocently. “I know you have a life, David. I would not assume that you would do anything.”

“I have to talk to Kristin. I have to tell her what’s going on.”

I stood and walked to lay Jamal back down in the crib. Turning I faced him with my hands on my hips. “And what is going on David?”

“We're getting married, that’s what. I'm a father and the woman that should have already married me is going to marry me now.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes, damn it and you don’t get a choice or a say in the matter. After what happened, there is no way in hell you can tell me that you didn’t feel something between us. And don’t look at me like that. You know damn well I mean something more than that. I will be back soon, and I love you”

I sat in the rocker again, this time without a baby and listened to the door shut. Deep down I wondered if he would be back. Part of me thought he would and part of me wondered. What if he got back around the rich and decided that we weren’t what he needed? What if he found after talking to Kristin that she was the one who should be his wife? The one that would fit in a lot better than I would. She was the perfect wife material. I worried as I sat there and finally made my way to the kitchen to get something to drink.

Chapter 16

We were married within the month. David hadn’t wasted any time in telling everyone about our son and I was pleasantly surprised when they all agreed that I belonged there with them. I finally met his brothers and was amazed at his whole family.

“Look at them.” I turned to see Stephanie standing there beside me. “They make everyone in the company shiver with fear. They come across like these big bad ass men. Look at that. They are just a bunch of big softies.” All three men were holding their sons and laughing and cuddling with them on the couch. Just then David looked up.

“What are you two whispering about?”

“Oh just talking about you.”

“Oh really. Anything good?”

I laughed as I looked at him. “Most definitely not. But then again, it never is with you huh?” I giggled as his eyebrows rose.

“We will talk about that later.”

“I’m sure you two will.” Heather chuckled on my other side. She watched as her boyfriend held her son. Thankfully the doctor who had helped deliver little Joshua was a good man. He smiled over at her and I chuckled at her blush. It was still new for her. I looked around at the tiny circle of people and smiled. I was happy, extremely happy and for the first time I knew what family really was.
