Saving Us

Chapter 1

Amy

My first Christmas with Conner hadn't exactly been planned, but I don't think I would have changed a single second of it. His family was amazing and I'd known that from being around Miranda for a few years. I guess I never expected them to accept me the way they did. I think I was in shock when he announced that we were together and with child
. In fact, I wanted to pass out in front of everyone. Much to my surprise, they welcomed me with open arms, and by that night, I found myself wrapped in Conner's arms, feeling the safest that I'd ever felt.

I remember waking up the next morning to Conner clearing his throat. Apparently, he'd gotten up and grabbed a shower, while leaving me to sleep. "Mornin'." He leaned over and kissed me.

"I could really get used to this." I felt so comfortable, wrapped up in his bed.
His bed!

"Me bein' naked?" The towel dropped as he stood in front of me with an eyebrow coc
ked and his hands on either hip.

I just shook my head and giggled. "Well, I was going to say waking up in your bed, but now that I'm getting an eyeful, I may just have to agree with you."

My God, looking at that man was never going to get old. He was so handsome.

Conner smiled and showed off his dimples. "You can touch it, you know. I mean, I'm thinkin' that since I'm goin' to be sharin' my bed, I may just have to ask you to pay me in sexual favors."

I sat up and leaned my head on my hand, while grabbing his hand and slowly pulling him to me. His smile never left his face. "I think that's a great idea. In fact, how about we start right now?"

Conner climbed slowly on top of me,
never taking his eyes off of me. I bit down on my lip when I felt the warmth of his body against mine. I anticipated his kiss just as he leaned down to do it. His soft lips brushed over my mouth and sent chills through my whole body. I could picture his long tongue making contact with mine and stuck it out to meet his. He sucked it hard and finally let go to be able to kiss me full on the lips again. As his tongue entered my mouth, I could hear his low groaning and feel a fast growing erection pressing into my thigh.

Just as our kissing became intense, he pulled back and moved the hair away from my face. “How are you doin’ with all of this, Blaze?”

I shrugged my shoulders, but reached up for a peck on the lips. “I don’t know. I’m a little overwhelmed with everything going on. I mean, I know this is where I want to be and there isn’t anything that will make me change my mind about that, but I am just so concerned over everything I don’t know. I want to know why Heather called and what she knows about Rick. Don’t even get me started on that bastard. What do you think he is up to? Why is he asking me for money that I don’t have? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“You’re goin’ to have to call Hea
ther. If she knows somethin’ then it’s best you find out what it is.”

I nodded my head to agree with Conner, when every part of my body was telling me to scream ‘no’. “I just don’t want to deal with the
repercussions of  being around her. I hate what you did with her, Conner. I just hate it so much.”

He slid over to the side of me and ran his hands through his damp hair. “I told you before that I didn’t ever want to talk about it again. Please just let it go. You know it meant nothin’ to me, Amy. Nothin’!”

That didn’t make it hurt me any less.
“I’m sorry, you’re right. It’s just difficult to think about and us calling her makes me think about it more. She is evil, Conner. She’s like the plague.”

He let out an air filled laugh and ignored my comment as he started kissing up the sides of my neck. As much as I hated Heather, he was doing a great job distracting me from our conversation.
I thought about his fresh minty lips touching my skin and worried about my stale morning breath. Without warning, I sat up and jumped off the bed. “I’ll be right back.” I held up my finger and backed myself out of the room. I got halfway down the hallway and ran back to peek my head in the door. “Do not get dressed.”

Conner wasn’t always good about waiting for things and since I had forced him to wait while I fought to get away from Rick, I didn’t want him to wait any longer for anything.
I rushed into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. My hair was in a disarray and I tried to wet it and comb it down enough to look presentable. I swear, ever since I had found out I was pregnant a little over a week ago, I couldn’t help but notice that my cheeks looked fuller. I knew Conner was waiting, but I couldn’t help but look at my body in the mirror.

With everything going on in my life, I hadn’t really had a single second to sit back and think of a big picture, of a possible future with my own family. My abdomen was still small, except something ver
y big was growing inside of it and it gave me true hope that after all of the years of pain and suffering, I was going to have a happy ending. I didn’t care whether it was a girl or boy, I just wanted to be a mother to a child.  Conner loving me and being a part of it all, just made it even better.

When I got back into the room, I half expected him to be dressed with his boots on. Instead, he was laying in his bed with a baseball hat on and the sheet covering only the good parts. His arms were behind his head and he held a smile on his face. “What took you so long? I was about to come and find your sexy ass.”

I climbed onto the bed and straddled my hot lover. “I’m back now.”

His hands came around and traced my hips where my underwear sat.
In a matter of seconds, I felt them sliding down over my ass. Once my backside was exposed and my underwear were down my legs, he began to slide my shirt up over my head.

With my body fully naked
, he grabbed the sheet and draped it over my back, before pulling me down to kiss him. Conner’s talented tongue started mingling with mine and I was ready and willing to do whatever he said. The man knew how to touch me and the taste of his skin drove me wild.

I could feel his erection growing aga
inst my leg as I grinded myself against him. I leaned down and kissed one of his tiny nipples while he watched me. I loved how his hands traced the skin over my back and sent tingles all through me. When I felt his hands traveling to the front of my body, I sat up so he could see what he was working with.

He licked his lips when the palms of his hands hit my hard nipples. “Put it in and ride me, Blaze.”

I reached down and grabbed his hard erection into my hands. The smooth skin made it easy to stroke as I guided it to the right spot. As the pressure of his girth filled me, I began to relax. Conner grabbed my hips and started guiding me into a steady groove. Once we were moving in sync with one another, he brought his hands up and played with my breasts. I ran my hands through my hair and continued watching him touch my sensitive nipples. The more he pinched them, the faster I began grinding into him. I watched him looking at what he was doing and as his eyes started to close, it turned me on more. He looked at me again. “Does it feel good?”

I threw my head back and close
d my own eyes. “Yes, please don’t stop touching me. I’m so close.”

“Come for me, Blaze. I want to watch you.”

Hearing his soft words coming out of his sexy mouth sent me over the edge. I started rocking harder and reached up behind him to grab the headboard. He sat up and started licking one of my nipples as he looked me in the eyes and I lost control of myself. My body tightened up and I could feel every single sensation running through it. I lost control of where we were and started to cry out, but Conner put his hand over my mouth until I finished.  My pace slowed until I finally stopped and leaned into his kiss.

“Turn your ass around. It’s my turn now.”
His hands guided me off of him to the opposite side of the bed, before I positioned myself so that my ass was in the air waiting for him.

Conner didn’t take his time sliding back in. He grabbed my hips and thrusted into my wetness. I buried my head into the pillow to
keep from crying out. The faster he thrusted the more I cried, but it wasn’t because he was hurting me, instead he was sending me to momentary bliss once again. I could tell he was about to finish when he increased his stride before finally collapsing over my back.

Gentle kisses
on my left shoulder sent butterflies to my stomach and I giggled just knowing how good he’d made me feel.

He collapsed down beside me and pulled me into his arms. I met his lips and kissed him slowly, s
avoring the fullness of his mouth as I licked them. Strong arms wrapped around my back as I ran my fingertips over his chest and looked into his beautiful green eyes. “That was a great way to wake up.”
