Chaz’s muscles were hard underneath her, his power and strength gave her power and strength. She fed off of his energy. Using it to climb toward her ultimate destination. Chaz placed both of his hands on her hips and guided her. He moved just as she wanted. He knew her desires before she even knew them herself.
Zuri tilted her head back and released a long-held breath. Her body was growing with heightened sensation, every particle of her being focused on the man who now fulfilled her, completed her.
They moved in sync, climbing together.
Zuri looked at Chaz and she knew that he knew.
She threw her head back and howled with the pleasure of full release.
They lay in bed panting, sweat dripping over them, both slippery and content.
“Happy wedding night, husband,” Zuri said as she turned her head languidly to look at him.
“I have one more wedding night surprise, dear wife.” He swiveled his head to look at her. His eyes were shining and she was struck again with the abundance of love she felt for him.
“Again? So soon?” she asked coquettishly
“Yes, but there’s something else too.” He rolled over and peered at her.
Zuri felt happiness beam through her, “Ok. I’m listening.”
Chaz licked his lips.
“You know how you were saying that there should be some sort of after school program for the kids in town? A place for them to learn and be safe so they can all go on to do the sorts of things Ava is doing?” He looked a bit red in the cheeks and Zuri thought he might actually be nervous.
“Yes,” she responded, waiting to see what was coming next.
“Greg is selling the bar, no one wants to go there after he got all chummy with wolves that almost sold their girls into slavery. The Smoke Stack wasn’t really a thriving bar anyway…so…” he drifted off.
Zuri tried to grasp his meaning but failed. “So…what?”
“I bought the Smoke Stack, for you. It’s close to the school, Magus can fund it so the kids won’t have to pay anything, and…you can help every kid that comes in the same way you helped Ava.” Chaz looked at her expectantly.
It took a moment for Zuri to process what Chaz was saying. The Smoke Stack would be hers to turn into an after school space? Magus would fund it and pay her salary so she wouldn’t have to charge kids anything to come?
“You—you bought the Smoke Stack?” Zuri asked, wanting to make sure she understood correctly.
“Yesterday. I got it for a steal.” He laughed a little nervously. “If you don’t want it I can always resell it…I just thought…”
“I want it,” Zuri almost yelled the words. She sat up in bed and draped her torso across Chaz so her face was peering straight into his.
“You do?” He lifted his face closer to hers.
Zuri felt so overwhelmed she could barely string words together.
“I mean it was just an idea, I never thought there would be a way that we could actually do it. But I want to do it,” she said emphatically, “more than anything. I…I can’t believe you thought of it. I can’t believe you bought the Smoke Stack.” Enthusiasm poured out of her and her mind began reeling down a list of things that could be done.
“Whew, for a moment there I thought I had made a big mistake,” he laughed up at the ceiling.
Zuri smiled. She didn’t want to laugh and cover her favorite sound in the whole world.
“Good. Then it’s yours. You can do anything you want. I just…I want you to be happy.” Chaz’s face became serious as he said the words.
Zuri placed both of her hands on the sides of his face.
“I am happy. I would be happy if we lived in shipping container together. Tonight, by marrying me, you have made me the happiest woman in the world.” She brought her lips to his and held his kiss for a long time.
“Well, there’s no need to live in a shipping container, but it’s good to know.” He swept her hair out of her face with her hands.
“Now,” she pulled her leg around him. “About that other wedding present.”
“So soon?” He teased her.
Zuri bent down and pulled at Chaz’s lower lip with her teeth. He reached up and lifted her into his arms as he sat up, lifting his face to hers. Zuri gave him a little love bite as they moved.
“You should be careful,” Chaz whispered to her, “or you’ll bring out the animal in me.”
