  ���Well, I think you���re correct,��� he laughed shyly.

  ���Well, I���m pretty sure we are married right, that wasn���t just a dream?��� she smiled.

  ���We���re definitely married,��� he smiled and grabbed her hand and kissed the ring.

  ���Well, the way I see it, what���s mine is yours and if you wake up and want what���s yours, you should take it. I mean you are wasting all that and that is definitely not something you should ever waste,��� she giggled.

  ���Let me clarify what you just said, anytime?���

  ���Yes please, unless I say no or we have fought or���,��� she giggled as he pounced on her.

  ���I love you Mrs. Abraham,��� he said and kissed her neck.

  ���Not as much as I am loving you right now,��� she giggled as she stroked him gently.

  Tessa woke and looked down. He held one of her breasts in his hand. His knee was between her legs pressing snuggly against her crotch. She smiled and bit her lip trying to stifle a giggle. His eyes blinked and then opened and he looked down at her surprised.

  ���Oh God, Tessa I���m sorry,��� he said when he was aware of his bodies placement.

  Tessa laughed and kissed him quickly, ���I need to use the bathroom.���

  He heard the shower running and knocked on the door, ���Are you okay in there?���

  Tessa opened the door and was wrapped in a thick white towel, ���Everything���s fine, better than fine are you okay?���

  ���Did that offend you?��� he asked quickly.

  She smiled, ���No not at all. It was nice to wake up like that.���

  His face flashed relief, ���So you were serious last night about whenever I wanted you?���

  ���Yes,��� she smiled.

  He walked past her and grabbed his toothbrush, ���So that means I can join you in the shower?���

  ���Yes please,��� she dropped the towel and walked into the shower.

  She heard him growl behind her and she smiled.

  He stepped into the shower and grabbed a washcloth and squirted bath soap on it. Tessa was rinsing the shampoo out of her hair when she felt him rubbing her neck. She opened her eyes and he stopped and turned away. He turned back and handed her a washcloth and bent his neck to the side.

  ���Here first,��� he smiled.

  They slowly and thoroughly washed each other���s bodies. He squirted conditioner in his hand and massaged it in her hair; she felt the pressure of his erection pushing against her belly and smiled.

  She reached down and gently stroked him.

  ���I���m not done with you yet, beautiful,��� he turned her around and rinsed the conditioner from her hair and started cleaning her back. Each place he washed, he would rinse and kiss her and nip gently.

  ���Hands on the wall Tessa,��� his voice deep and direct.

  He bent her slightly and washed her backside. As she anticipated him entering her from behind she started moaning as he washed down her legs.

  He stood up and gently pushed her feet apart with his and reached under her and washed between her legs stopping to pay special attention to her sweet spot causing her to close her knees slightly.

  ���No Tessa, not yet,��� he whispered against her neck.

  She felt him against her and moaned again, this time louder.

  She heard his deep throaty chuckle as he brought the washcloth from front to back as he cleaned her ass. He skimmed lightly and she clenched her cheeks together. He brought his hand around her waist and pressed down on her throbbing ball of nerves and she groaned. He washed her ass slightly harder this time and circled her with the cloth, she heard him growl and then he was on his knees under her, licking her hard and slow. Her legs spread wider as he held one hand behind him supporting his weight. Her back arched body as he devoured. her. His other hand still applying light pressure from behind. She moaned and felt the onset of electrical pulses between her legs and cried out. His hand from behind replaced his mouth and his thumb circled her and two fingers went in bringing her to scream out his name. She felt him kissing her behind and then she felt the pressure of his tongue against her ass.

  Tessa gasped and started to fall. He quickly stood and grabbed her waist and thrust deeply into her over and over as she screamed out his name and when he was ready he pulled out and she felt him come on her back.

  Holy Hell, that was so hot, she thought. He didn���t miss a beat. As she rested her head and arms against the shower wall, he cleaned her again from front to back and then himself. He pulled her gently to him and kissed her neck and shoulders and turned her around to face him.

  ���I can���t get enough of you,��� he growled as he lifted her and carried her to the bed, kissing her neck and chest as he laid her down.

  Tessa looked down and he was half hard and growing again.

  He grabbed a condom and rolled it on, ���You are going to tell me when you have had enough. God, what are you doing to me?��� He kissed her lips hard and down her neck, ���Ridiculous how bad I need you. No fucking self- control, your smell, your taste���.���

  His lips vibrated down her body as he stammered about his need for her which opened the flood gates and rid her of the fear that her body might not be ready again to respond to his touch.

  As soon as they finished he lifted himself up and kissed her softly on the mouth.

  ���I���m going to end up killing you,��� he scolded himself.

  ���Hmm, death by fucking��� I can think of worse ways to go,��� she giggled and he smiled.

  ���I love you Tessa Abraham,��� Collin said before collapsing onto her.

  Tessa closed her eyes as she was spread out naked under him with his head buried in her neck. She fell asleep.

  Collin lifted himself off of her and smiled as he watched her sleep. He wanted to keep the covers off but knew if he did he would be inside her again. He tucked her in and she moaned and smiled.

  He packed their bags and looked at the clock, it was almost ten. Tessa had been asleep for an hour. Check out was at eleven and he had ordered a catered brunch at the beach house for her family. He sat back and watched her sleep and stood up and walked away. He knew if he stayed there he would be waking her up and she obviously needed her sleep.

  At ten thirty her eyes started to open and he smiled at her.

  She sat up and stretched, ���You look amazing. Did you rest?���

  He stood and grabbed her clothes, ���No, our bags are packed and your family will be expecting us in about thirty minutes.���

  He kissed her chastely and walked away.

  Tessa dressed quickly and quietly, ���Okay, I���m ready.���

  ���Are you okay?���

  ���Yes but��� never mind. Are you alright?���

  ���But what Tessa?��� he asked and a look of panic set in his eyes.

  ���You just looked annoyed when I woke, did I do something wrong?��� she asked in a whisper.

  ���No Tessa. I, however, seem to be unable to retain control of my desire when it comes to you. I apologize and I won���t ask so much of you. I���m sorry,��� he looked away.

  Tessa grabbed his face and scowled, ���Don���t work too hard at it. I���ve never felt so good in my life. You are AMAZING. I love you. Please don���t let that stop,��� Tessa hugged him.

  ���You���re sure?���

  ���Very,��� she giggled.

  ���We should leave?��� he asked.

  ���I think we kind of have to.���

  ���
��We need to stop at a drug store, we���ve run out of condoms,��� he closed his eyes.

  Tessa laughed as they walked out of their room.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Tessa and Collin had decided that they would fly back to Tessa���s hometown. He wanted to get to know her family, and he had promised John not to keep her away.

  They returned to the farm, and no one was home.

  ���What would you like to do?��� Tessa asked.

  ���I think I would like to get to know more about my wife, you know outside of the bedroom,��� he laughed.

  Tessa grabbed her computer and sat on the couch. She opened up her photos and took a deep breath.

  ���Okay, this is Tommy; he was Lucas���s best friend since childhood. He and Jade dated, and he was wonderful, he died in a car accident when Sadi was pregnant and I was starting a relationship with Ben, a friend. He has been in my life forever; his dad and my dad are friends. He means a lot to me Collin, but that���s it, friends. Oh and Lucas made them come watch his band, and I behaved badly on stage with Ben to hurt Lucas or get over him or both I don���t know. Anyway we were going home, and well the main part is we came upon the accident and he got me through that loss even knowing that I would end up back with Lucas to take care of him. Ben is my friend. Jade didn���t know she was pregnant and found out that day in the hospital. Jade lost her twin brothers in a car accident a few years before that and her mother was never the same. Jade hasn���t seen her in years. But Ryan was friends with the twins, Jade���s brothers and my cousins and well he loved her and married her before the baby was born and they are amazing together. Little Luke, named after Lucas is my God son and Lucas���s, and so are Riley and Jackson the two children that Jade and Ryan have together. Do we need a break?��� She asked.

  He shook his head no and kissed her.

  ���Okay, so I moved in with Lucas when he attended SU on a football scholarship. It was a choice I made because I found out I was pregnant, it ended at twelve weeks, it was tubal, but it was very hard. We did very well for a few years and then when he was drafted, things started falling apart. Before we both graduated he surprised me by building a house on land he bought from my father, which I have since bought back some of the land and signed off the house. With the agreement that my family gets first dibs on buying it back if he ever sold it. Should I stop?��� he shook his head no, ���He was drafted by the Jets.���

  ���Hold on��� your ex was a Pro, football player?���

  ���Yes Lucas Links, he played at SU first. I made him finish his degree,��� she laughed, ���and he is currently with the Forty Niners. He got hurt pretty bad during pre- season. Last we talked, before I met you, he was going to go back to work for his father because life was better then.���

  ���Okay ��� I thought this was just some hometown punk ass kid,��� Collin looked confused.

  ���He is,��� she laughed.

  ���Tessa it doesn���t seem that way.���

  She rolled her eyes. ���Well, when he went to meet with San Francisco, he and I fought because he wanted me to go with him, and I refused to go because I didn���t want to miss my finals. I surprised him by flying out two nights before he came home. I got a hotel key and went in, and he was screwing someone. That was when things really fell apart. He also messed around on me at SU and always promised to change.��� She noticed Collin���s immediate reaction and decided to ask, ���Collin��� are you questioning why I���m not with him?���

  ���No, Tessa I didn���t think my competition was as accomplished,��� he was annoyed.

  ���I���m going to shower, by the way, I was under the assumption our marriage meant as much to you as it does to me, this is not a competition.��� She walked into the bathroom slammed the door and locked it.

  When she came out he was still sitting there looking at pictures, she walked past him and went upstairs to change. When she came down, he was in the shower. She walked outside and played with Leia.

  Collin walked outside to find Tessa.

  John waved to Collin, and he walked over to him, ���How���s my girl?���

  ���She���s upset with me right now.���

  John laughed, ���What did you do?���

  ���I questioned her about her punk ass��� sorry John. I didn���t know Lucas was a pro football player.���

  Tessa walked in and changed to go for a run. She went outside and took off down the road.

  ���Wow, she���s angry or trying to work through something,��� John pointed at Tessa.

  Collin watched her and shook his head, ���This is one hell of a honeymoon.���

  ���Fix it,��� John laughed.

  ���How?���

  ���You’ll figure it out,��� John said.

  ���John ��� in two weeks I���m going to Ecuador. I want her to go with me as long as things are worked out and security has wrapped up. Do you have any reservations about that?���

  ���Nope,��� he said.

  An hour later Tessa came back and Collin was outside. He hugged her.

  ���I don���t doubt how I feel about you, about us. I just hope you don���t Tessa.���

  ���I want nothing more than to spend forever with you, I said I do. I don���t know how much more I can say about it.���

  ���I believe you,��� he hugged her she held tightly to him, she loved him there was no doubt, even his hug felt like it was meant for her.

  A car pulled in the driveway.

  ���Who is this?��� he asked kissing her head.

  ���Landon,��� she said quietly, and Leia growled.

  ���Perfect,��� he heard John walk up behind them and chuckle.

  ���Collin, Tessa I���m here to thank you for not pressing charges.���

  Tessa looked up at Collin and smiled. ���You���re welcome, she doesn���t believe he would hurt her, and I trust her.���

  ���He���s hurting but knows he did it to himself,��� Landon looked at Tessa.

  ���Are you going to stay with him?���

  ���I am for a couple days. I���ll see what Audrianna thinks about coming up.���

  ���Okay, because he is going to need someone.���

  ���Excuse me, have either of you ever thought that he needs to figure it out for himself?��� Collin asked cynically.

  ���He lived alone for years taking care of himself, with a drunk mother, he didn���t fare very well. He needs his family,��� Tessa scowled.

  ���Alright Tessa but if he doesn���t learn to do it for himself nothing is going to change for him and you care about him and by not letting him figure it out for himself��� you���re not doing him any good. He���s an adult now, regardless of what has happened to him he needs to be allowed time to become one. I���m not saying I know everything, but you don���t teach someone something and then stand there and do it for them. And you don���t stop being a parent either,��� he looked at Landon.

  ���Well, you two certainly are a perfect match,��� Landon laughed and so did. ���Pretty smart kids huh? I have it for a couple days. John he would like to talk to you and Maggie, you���ve all been his family, and he truly loves you all,��� Landon smiled.

  ���Anytime,��� John said.

  ���Thanks again, I���ll certainly miss your spunk Tessa,��� Landon said and left

  John patted Tessa and Collin on the back and walked back towards the shop.

  ���Tessa, are you angry at me?��
��

  ���Yes.���

  ���You were a kid trying to teach him. You understand that��� you even said it.���

  ���Yes but that���s not why I���m mad. I���m mad because you doubted me. And from experience: doubt ruins things. I don���t ever want us to fail Collin,��� Tessa said sadly.

  ���I won���t let us,��� he hugged her tightly to him.

  They all sat at dinner and Collin learned even more about his wife, she was going to be a handful, and it didn���t bother him at all. The challenge appealed to him, in more ways than one.

  The next morning he woke her up and kissed her, he had already showered.

  ���Good morning,��� he kissed her again, ���You fell asleep on me last night.���

  ���It���s just weird here in my parent���s house,��� she kissed him back.

  ���Good to hear, we���re going to take off for awhile,��� he pulled her on top of him and kissed her again.

  ���Where are we going?��� She asked and kissed his neck.

  He pulled her shirt off and grabbed her breast ���It���s a surprise.���

  ���I don���t like surprises,��� she pulled his shirt over his head.

  ���You will,��� he laid her down.

  ���Collin, not here,��� she said and pulled his pants down.

  ���Okay,��� he took her panties off.

  He moved into her and she moaned, ���I said not here.���

  ���I���m trained to know the difference between a lie and the truth, and you weren���t telling the truth. You took my pants off,��� he smiled and kissed her.

  She laughed. And dug into his back, she moaned his name and he kissed her.

  ���Shhh,��� he said.

  ���Are you crazy?��� she asked and he laughed.

  ���You better hold on and try to be quiet,��� he said into her neck as he nipped it lightly.

  ���Holy shit,��� she said trying to catch her breath. ���Collin stop!���
