I rolled over when I heard the doorbell chime. Who could that be? I’m not in the habit of having guests. My aunt had passed a few years ago and there was really no one else.
I made my way downstairs not even bothering to cover up the sleep shorts and tank I’d worn to bed last night. It was the end of the day and I was now getting out of bed, but I had nowhere to go so it didn’t really mattered.
At least dad’s money had been of some use. I never have to work and I could keep mom in comfort for the rest of her life. With my one mission in life over, I was free to do whatever I wished. But I couldn’t find the strength to do anything but lay in bed and remember.
“Who…” My eyes widened when I saw him standing there. “How…” I barely got the word out before he was pushing me back inside and closing the door.
My mind started to race and I remembered I was wearing the special necklace. I’d put it on in a moment of weakness when I’d been missing him enough to hurt. “That’s not gonna work this time.”
“What do you mean?” My hand dropped from the pendant as his eyes stayed on mine. He kept moving forward as I stepped back until my knees hit the couch.
“The hypnosis I had a roommate in college who used to dabble in that. I noticed all the signs the night you tried. It’s never worked, I knew everything we did since the beginning.”
He was removing his clothes as he spoke and my eyes followed as if in a trance. When he reached out and tore my tank it brought back memories and my body prepared itself. My knees grew weak and I could no longer stand, so I fell backwards on the couch. “So why didn’t you stop me?”
I watched as he kicked off his shoes before shoving his slacks and boxers down, revealing his cock that was hard and already leaking precum.
“Because I didn’t know why you were doing it. After I did some digging I uncovered the whole story. Open.” He didn’t wait for me to comply but pushed my legs open before climbing on top of me.
“I…” I started to talk, to explain. He slammed his cock into me hard and I started cumming just as the tears began to fall.
“Tell me!” His hand tightened in my hair. “Was I just a fuck to get back at her?”
“No, in the beginning maybe, I don’t know… please…” He read my eyes as if searching for the truth. His hand in my hair didn’t ease but he’d lost that look of intense anger. I looked back at him, hoping he’d see what I wanted him to. That I was sorry, that I’d missed him that I wanted to be with him. Always!
“I’ll deal with you later.” Those words made something take flight inside me. He covered my lips with his and the kiss consumed me.
It felt surreal to be here like this with him when I’d thought for sure that it was over. He made love to me the same as before, driving in deep. But there was a new intensity, almost as if he were afraid I’d disappear again.
“I told you this was mine, that you are mine. How dare you run away from me? Never again!” He held my head back roughly so that I could see his eyes, see the seriousness there.
“Answer me damn you. How could you walk away?” I had to fight to speak around the lump in my throat.
“I didn’t know. I thought you wouldn’t want me if you knew…”
“You thought wrong. I want you, I’m in love with you, you little idiot.” If hearts could fly mine did. In that moment I didn’t think about Claudia or anything else.
Didn’t worry about the fact that he was still married. He wanted me and that was all that mattered. How did I get so lucky? How had my life come to this when I never thought it could be?
It didn’t take him long to cum, almost as if he’d been dying for the feel of me again. “Where’s your bedroom?” I pointed up the stairs, too winded to talk.
He lifted me up from the couch, still impaled on his cock and headed up the stairs in the direction I’d pointed out.
Upstairs in my bed we spent hours rolling around together until we were both spent. “Get up, you’re not staying here, you’re coming home with me.”
I couldn’t believe it, even when we were in the car driving back to the country estate. We talked in low hushed tones and he told me how he learned about what I’d done. He asked, and I told him all of it. How I’d driven her to the airport, only to change course and head to the country home.
How I’d rigged it with the cameras. He gave me a look at this but said nothing. “And the rest you know.” He was holding my hand as he told me that because of my emails to him in the months prior, he’d already filed for divorce, how he was no longer married to her and what he’d planned to do.
He scolded me for letting vengeance rule me for so long but said he understood. Then he asked me to marry him. No, that’s not quite accurate, he told me we were getting married and that he was going to make up for all my suffering. I was crying by the time we pulled through the gates.
Epilogue
SEBASTIAN
She came into the study looking a bit forlorn. “What’s wrong?” She looked down at the floor and shook her head. “I asked you a question, answer me.”
Her head came up and I did not like the look in her eyes. I’ve made it a point in the last few months since I married her, to stay on top of her. Making sure her life was the complete opposite of the shit that had brought her to me in the first place.
“Nothing!” I gave her the raised brow look, which she knew meant that was her last chance. “You don’t find me attractive anymore.” She sounded miserable. Miserable and misguided.
“Since when?” Women, what a confusing bunch. One minute she’s bold and forceful and the next she’s like the twins, needing reassurance. She pointed at her seven months pregnant tummy and kept her eyes on the floor.
“Come here.” I pushed back from my desk and held my hand out to her. She took her sweet time getting to me with that adorable pout on her face.
“Lean down.” She did as I asked and I led her hand to my cock. “Feel this? Do you know why he’s like that?” She shook her head no but she’d already begun to lose that look from her face.
“I saw you swimming, no scratch that, before you even got into the water, as soon as you dropped your cover up he went on alert.”
“Then why…?” I pulled her down to sit on my lap and wrapped my arms protectively around her. “Because you’re young and this is your first pregnancy and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
I felt the tension leave her as she took my face in her hands. “I’m fine, we’re fine.” She led my hand to her huge tummy where our twin sons were doing backflips.
I maneuvered her in my lap until she sat facing me and undid my shorts. It was easy enough to push the crotch of her bikini bottoms aside and slide up into her.
Nothing ever feels as good as getting my cock in her. No matter how many times we fuck, it’s always like the first, like coming home.
I held her close, all the love I felt for her right there for her to see. “I love you baby.”
“I love you too.”
