by Leaona Luxx


  I push against her core, her eyes heavy, teeming with her orgasm to find mine. I push in, sliding deep, filling her completely. She gasps at the intrusion as she sinks her teeth into her full bottom lip. As it turns crimson, I pull out as slowly as I took her.

  She releases her now burgundy lip to whimper from the loss of the fullness. Hitching her leg on my hip, I invert her so I can drive deeper. Seemingly impossible, I go full tilt, as her pussy grips my cock, holding me there.

  I pulse as she convulses deep in her core. Want teeming with need, building to a frenzied pace. I begin to push in and pull out, a slow, sliding seduction of need. Her hips begin to move with me as I find her mouth, melting together from the heat between us.

  Our bodies slip and slide, meeting with loud, steady thrusts. A passion-charged thrum building between us. Her legs wrap around me, giving me more leverage to drive into her. Her back arches from the bed, breaking our connection as she moans my name.

  It calls me to finish us, tipping me over. I slide my hand between her creamy thighs and with a little pressure on her clit, I flick it as she spirals through her orgasm. I pump her twice more and lose myself to her. Such a heady mix, my minx is.

  I fall to her side, wrapping her in my arms. Her legs tangle with mine as our mouths meet. She invades mine like she’s never kissed me before. Her hand in my hair, she grips my head. Swirling tongues and sweaty bodies just brings a renewed interest in one another.

  “I love you,” she says as we gaze at each other. “I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you.”

  “You found your way home to me, that’s all that matters.” I kiss her again. It’s as if we can’t keep our hands off the other. “I love you.”

  She turns to face me, her body sliding against mine. “I can’t help myself, Ry. I’ve missed you, dreamed of you being here, being in me.” Her eyes close as she squeezes her thighs.

  “Are you trying to kill me?” I stare at her, and when her eyes snap open, they’re filled with hurt. “Oh, no baby. I didn’t mean that in a bad way.” I kiss her swollen lips.

  “I’m sorry, I’ve missed you.” She kisses me again. Damn this woman and my need of her.

  Our mouths move as if they’re at war. She climbs over me, turning her back to me. I fill my hands with her full ass as she hovers over me. She holds my cock in her hand, guiding me in, encouraging me on. It’s as if she’s starving for me.

  She settles down, sliding me through her pussy once again. I set deep, filling her full. She begins to rock, swaying on me. When she grips her breast, I clutch her shoulder, holding on for the ride of my life. Her legs begin to pump, making her bounce on top of me.

  Her ass presses into my lower stomach, and I can’t decide what to hold onto first—her or her fine ass. As her speed builds, that familiar pull in my core pulls at me. I drag her down by her shoulder, laying her back on my chest. I grip her thighs, pulling her knees to her chest as my feet dig into the bed.

  I thrust like a jackhammer, pumping her pussy with every smack of our bodies. Her knees wide as she moans, falling over the edge. I follow my queen, meeting her climax with my own. The sparks fly between us as our oversexed neurons fire on all cylinders.

  This time, when we’re finished, we lay there. Our breathing in sync as I hold her to my chest. “I should move, but I’ll be damned if I can’t.” She chuckles.

  “Yeah, baby. That was fucking awesome.” She laughs out loud. “No pun intended.”

  She slides off me and into my waiting arms. “At some point, we need to talk, but I don’t think I can right now.”

  “Me either, I haven’t been sleeping well.”

  “For how long?” she asks with a yawn.

  “Since I left you.” She snuggles closer with a shiver.

  “Cold?” I ask.

  “Sweaty sex, yes.” I move, and her eyes are on me.

  “Just grabbing the sheet and blankets.” I smile when her face softens. My heart skips a beat when she bites her lip.

  “Thank you,” she offers as I cover us up.

  We fall fast asleep as soon as we get comfortable in one another’s arms. Light streams through the open window, we forgot to close the blinds last night. Did I just say we? My eyes snap open, looking for Ava. I sit up, she’s nowhere in sight.

  Panic sets in as I leap from the bed, grabbing my jeans. I slide them on, and I’m down the stairs in a flash. I head toward the door when a noise in the kitchen draws my attention. I stop mid-stride, spinning to head in the opposite direction.

  I round the corner to find Ava in my shirt, cooking. Her ass cheeks peek out from under the hem, and thank God for making such a perfect thing. I grin at the thought of her climbing up the old tree house ladder and how her ass has always been perfect.

  Lost in thought, I’m startled when she lets out a scream as she turns to find me standing there. “Ahhhh, Riley!”

  I chuckle as I walk around to her, taking her in my arms. “I’m sorry, baby, that ass of yours had me in a trance.”

  “Ha, ha, ha. You scared the devil outta me.” I laugh again.

  “I’m sure as hell glad, he was killing me.” She narrows her eyes as she purses her lips.

  “And just to think, I made you pancakes and was going to give you breakfast in bed.” She turns to the stove to flip our flapjacks.

  I lean over her back as she pushes her ass into my cock, sending a shiver up my spine. I lean in, my lips on her ear, and whisper. “I’ll have the pancakes here, you’re the only thing I’m eating in our bed.”

  She gasps, releasing a moan. “Ry, I’ll take you up on that after breakfast and a long talk.”

  “Deal. How can I help?” I ask as she plates some bacon.

  “Check your phone, it’s been going off all morning. It woke me up.” I snatch some bacon as she bumps me with her hip.

  “Sorry about that, it may take a bit for them to get used to us being here.” I kiss her jaw before shoving the bacon in my mouth.

  “It’s not a problem, Ry. Well, I wanted to make breakfast, but that bed held me hostage.” She giggles.

  “Oh, yeah. Love that bed, great pick.” I pick up my phone to see fifty messages and missed calls. “I gotta return some of these. Sorry.” I wander over to the bar as she sets the plate down.

  She glances at the plate and then me, and I can see the wheels turning. “Do you want me to leave or step out of the room?”

  I sit stunned. “No. Come on, baby, let’s eat.” That’s all it takes for my girl to smile.

  She joins me as we begin to eat. I put my phone on speaker and begin returning calls. “Riley, you good?” Walker asks, and I side eye Ava.

  “Pretty damn perfect.” She grins.

  “So, do I have a sister or not?” He laughs.

  “You’re an ass, leave the baby alone,” Ava says to him, making him laugh louder.

  “All good. Come up for air around dinner. Mom would love to see you both,” he tells us.

  I gaze at Ava, and when she nods, I accept. “We’ll be there around six.”

  “Damn, making up for lost time huh?” he jokes.

  “Most definitely,” Ava replies, earning a smile from me.

  “See ya.” I end the call, rolling my eyes. I dial the next number.

  “Riley, thank you for returning my call,” One says.

  “No problem, just getting a late start this morning. How can I help you?” I shove a pancake in my pie hole.

  “We were wanting to start the repair work, when would be a good time?” I look at Ava as she shakes her head.

  “Umm, not today. I, uhh, we have plans.” A squeal is heard over the phone, and Ava laughs.

  “Ha!”

  “Yay! Oh my God, I’m so happy for you two!” Thayer screams.

  “Did you have One call when I didn’t answer my texts?” Ava asks.

  “Yes! Lea, Torrie… they’re together. ALL night.” Cheers can be heard between the three of them.

  “Okay, folks. Dinner at my mom’s
around six. Come meet my future wife.” I wink at Ava.

  “Yeah, we’ll make plans for a late summer wedding.” She winks back, I’m not sure what shocks me more, her not arguing or her words.

  “We’ll do that,” I agree to the sound of sighs.

  “But first, I need the bling.” She gigs me in the side. Ohhhs and ahhhs come over the phone.

  “Okay,” I say. “One, if it’s okay with Ava, I say Monday will work.”

  “Sounds good, see y’all this evening.” One is such a good guy.

  “By the way, bring the kids. Mom would love to have them.” We end the call.

  “Now, where were we?” I bite my lip, pulling her into my lap.

  “I think we need to talk,” she says, and I turn, giving her my full attention.

  “As long as you don’t tell me this is it.” I stare at her, my chest tightening.

  “Ughh, you silly man.” She leans in and kisses me. “No, this is our beginning.”

  “Thank you.” I rest my forehead against hers and breathe her in, the moment so surreal to have my girl in my arms again, in our bed—in our home.

  She takes a deep breath. “You know how I told you I was having a hard time with you being in the military? Well, as I said, it was because it’s a direct link to my dad. I’ve fought triggers for a year and couldn’t put my finger on why. I found out yesterday, please don’t flip shit. I was leaving a store when a scent from The Vape Shop pulled me toward it. I got lost in memories when I was dragged away by Steve. He had me cornered and everything flooded in.

  “My father smoked cherry flavored tobacco, and so does Steve. He didn’t hurt me,” she cautions, her palms outright and her eyes pleading for understanding. “I kneed him in the balls and was about to kick him in the face when the body guard saved him. I did tell him you were gonna fuck him up. The point is, I didn’t have nightmares last night, and the only time I’ve had one with you around was because of him.

  “I want to know what you do, what you want to do in the future, and I want you to know I’m here. Ry, I’m never leaving you again. So, by god, get ready. Trouble’s come to stay, and you better damn well be ready to handle me. Cause you ain’t gettin’ rid of me.”

  “’Bout time, you’ve made me wait long enough.” I take her face in my hands, kissing her. “I’m a Mercenary, and all that implies. Don’t look it up, it’ll worry you. I have six months left, and then I want to go to the police academy or maybe, something federal. I want to marry you yesterday, and I’m okay if you don’t want kids.”

  “Oh, Ry. I want it all with you, we just need to take our time. Is that okay?” Her eyes glaze over with tears.

  “Sounds like a damn good plan. But first…” I cock my brow, pinning her with my most serious, pointed glare and her eyes widen. “Did those house fairies follow you because you’ve lost your panties?” I run my hand over her naked ass. She giggles, but her eyes tell me she wants something more.

  “I believe they did.” I pick her up as she wraps her legs around me.

  Sitting her on the counter, she reaches between us, dropping my pants. I inch my shirt over her plump ass and work my way between her legs as we make quick work outta our current situation. Ava wraps her hands around my neck, digging her heels into my ass.

  I pump her as she rides my cock into her next orgasm, helping me to follow her lead. “I don’t think I’ll ever get my fill of you, Ava.”

  “Yeah, I’m just thinking the same thing, Ry.” She drags me to her lips.

  We walk across the field to my parents’. Neither of us has on fresh clothes, but we have had a shower. It was so we could have sex in the shower and then again in bed. Which led to needing another shower; it’s a vicious cycle, people. Hot damn, do I love it.

  She holds my hand like it’s a lifeline, and I hold her like my life. We stop along the way, kissing and holding each other. “I’m thinking we need to make an actual path to your parents’. Andi will want to run back and forth. And if there are others.”

  “Others? More than one?” I cock my brow.

  “I need a little Riley, don’t ya think? And I really wanna know what our little girl would look like.” She kisses me.

  “We can start there.” Her eyes go wide as my stomach does flip flops.

  We step onto the patio to a round of cheers. “Thank you. We just want to tell y’all, we appreciate your place in our journey. And I want to ask Ava…” I turn to her, hitting my knee. I gaze into her eyes, not having a clue as to what to say. Her hand goes to her mouth when I pull the little black box from my pocket. “Damn girl, what you put a man through.” There are giggles and chuckles. “You’re worth every minute of it. I am so honored you have promised to be my wife. I’ve waited so long to put my ring on your finger and to give you my last name, I thought the day would never come. Please, be my wife, my best friend, my lover and someday, the mother of our children. Be by my side as we build the world as we want it. When they say we can’t, come home and know we are. And most importantly, help me fight those damn house fairies. Except for the one stealing your panties, I like that dude.” I wink at her as everyone chuckles, and her face turns red. “Marry me for every reason they say we shouldn’t and for every reason we know we should. I love you, Ava Lucia Pope.”

  “Are you insane?” Her eyes narrow as a smile plays on the corner of her mouth. “You didn’t have to ask again, I was marrying you anyway.” Her smile spreads across her face, making my heart race. “You are the most honorable man I’ve ever met and for whatever reason, you love me. You’ve stood by me when no one could, I love you. It would be my honor, Ry.”

  I place the ring, a Princess cut with a combination of traditional and modern diamonds, on the end of her finger. Her eyes snap to mine and I wrinkle my nose, and she steps forward, pushing it into place. “I wanted you to work for it.”

  She leans down, holding my face with one hand, she whispers, “I plan to, Ry. I’m gonna work hard for everything you give me. I love you.” She presses her lips to mine.

  I stand, taking her in my arms. “You deserve it, whether you work for it or not.” I bend her backward, kissing her breathless.

  Five months later…

  “Andi, hurry up, baby. Ry will be here anytime and we’ll need to get to grandma’s for his birthday party,” I call upstairs.

  “Coming, Momma.” She enters the kitchen in the prettiest pink dress Ry bought for her. “I’m wearing Poppa Ry’s dress.”

  “I see that. Do you think it’s a little formal for a cookout?” I cock my head at her, looking at her.

  She twists her mouth like Bran, and I roll my eyes, it’s not a hard decision. “Maybe shorts?” She sighs.

  This child. “Wait until he sees you, then run and change,” I suggest to her delight.

  “Perfect.” She twirls. I sigh as I watch her, she’s growing up so fast.

  “My two beautiful girls.” Riley surprises us when he sneaks in.

  “Poppa!” Andi exclaims. She rushes him for a hug.

  We fixed his schedule to match Andi’s, so she’s here when he is. I drive up to him on the other weekends. He bought me a matching Land Rover for my birthday a few months ago. The only problem, what in the hell to get him?

  “Okay, run and change so we can get to grandma’s.” I walk over to my hot soldier. “Hey there, soldier, what’s a hottie like you doin’ in a place like this?”

  “The love of my life lives here.” He kisses me, running his hand up my thigh. “Oh, how nice.”

  I narrow my eyes at him. “What is?”

  “That damn fairy, may the birthday presents commence,” he says as he grabs my ass.

  “One day, soldier, that ass is gonna get you into some trouble.” I giggle.

  “I hope so.” As Andi comes down the stairs, he kisses and releases my ass, whispering, “I’ll be back for you later.” And pats it.

  I shake my head at the crazy man. “Are you ready?”

  “I am or should I change?” he asks as
Andi hits the door at full tilt.

  “I’m goin’ on,” she yells as she runs out the door.

  “That child, sunshine mixed with a little bit of hurricane.” I roll my eyes as Riley snickers. “What?”

  “She’s her momma.” He grins his lopsided grin.

  “True, but we’re not telling.” I take his hand. “Keep the uniform on, soldier, it might get you laid later.”

  “Oh, really?” He holds me to him as he kisses me.

  We meander the path to his parents where all our family and friends are gathered for his party. “It’s about time, you two. You have one more party and then, no more.” Cynthia says as we approach.

  “Why is that?” Riley kisses her cheek.

  “We have a grandchild to spoil now.” She watches Andi.

  “Cynthia?” She looks at me. “Thank you, I’ve never had a mom, and you’re a helluva substitute.” I hug her, leaving her in tears.

  “Ughh, this girl. Anytime.” She hugs me.

  We visit with family and friends, eating the best barbeque known to man. We take the time to help clean up before we head back home. Andi has fallen asleep and is gonna stay here tonight. For once, that’s fine by me. I have a surprise for Ry.

  We walk, hand in hand, back to our home. He has four weeks left and then he’s home full-time. It’s had a serious impact on our sex life, and that’s another reason I’m okay with Andi staying at his parents’ tonight. I’m hoping to scream his name four or five times tonight.

  “What are you grinning about, Trouble?”

  “Thinking about all the trouble I’m planning for you tonight.” I nudge him with my shoulder. “You have four weeks left, and I have four weeks before I graduate.”

  He nods. “Yeah, what’cha thinking?”

  I open the door to our home. “First, your presents.”

  “Baby, you didn’t have to do that. You’re enough for me for the rest of my life,” he says as I pull the box from under the counter.

  “Oh, well. Okay, I’ll just return this.” I pick the box back up, but he’s quick to stop me.
