I thank God every day that Kathy came into my life. I don’t know if I would still be here today if she hadn’t. Her bright light pulled me through my darkest hours, letting me know that I no longer had to worry that my darkness would kill the only happiness I’ve ever found.

The Right Direction
By
Kathy Coopmans
For Jill Sava
You my sweet friend inspired this story.
Prologue-
My back hits the mattress with a soft thud as Roman stares down adoringly at me lying naked. His arm is resting right between my thighs. I spread my legs, run my hands up my sides, and palm my aching breasts.
Please, God, don’t let my intuition be right.
He’s leaving me.
My head keeps churning away, telling me this will more than likely be the last time I have this insatiable, dirty-talking man inside of me. I’m breaking into tiny, fragile pieces.
A few more hours is all we have left, and all I can do is tuck the past twelve years away. I have to keep it all inside.
Every minute that ticks by is another minute closer to the dreaded word ‘good-bye.’
“Fucking hell. Do you know how gorgeous you are? Especially when you touch yourself like that? You were meant for me in every way possible. Mind, body, and soul. I have all kinds of filthy things running through my mind. Get on your knees, my beautiful, filthy girl. Spread your hands in front of you the way I like. Now, Joslyn,” he commands as he pulls his belt through the loops of his pants, whipping it through the air with a loud, thunderous snap.
“We’re meant for each other. Are you going to tie me up with that?” I prod, turn around like he asked, always ready to please him.
“Only if it guarantees you’ll go with me.”
“I can’t.”
“I know. Four years is a long time, but we’ll make it, Joslyn. We have to keep telling ourselves that every day is one day closer. It’s always been you and me. Our someday is going to be here before we know it.” I wish he could promise me that. I don’t say that out loud, not when promises can be broken.
“Let's not talk about it anymore. Fuck me already.” Desperation seeps from my pores and filters out of my mouth. A deep noise erupts from Roman’s throat. The sound of his belt buckle hits the wooden floor with a clunk, clothes shuffle off, and the familiar condom wrapper tears open.
“You should get on the pill before you come see me,” he says, as slides his hand down the cheeks of my ass until his fingers dip deep into the place I need him to be. The connection of being loved. Two broken souls who always believed destiny brought them together.
“I will,” I moan, arch my back, and allow the ripple effect only he has given me drown out the painful drips of emotions crawling around my spine.
He’s leaving me.
“Fuck,” I scream. My arms begin to shake while his skillful digits play me as well as he strums his guitar.
“That’s right. You come for me before I give you my cock,” he roars. I can feel his grin graze the side of my neck. The man always knows how to set me off.
With a slight tilt upward of my ass, he removes his fingers, replacing them with his thick, heavy shaft. One slow, tortuous thrust buries him deep. He stills, savors our connection for a few moments like he always does. I close my eyes, fight with all my might to hold back my tears.
“You feel incredible, Joslyn. Always have. Always will. I’m going to make going away up to you. Dreams, Joslyn. You reach yours, and I’ll reach mine, and in the end, I’ll be waiting for you. We were always meant to be together. You and me, baby. Forever.” Those unwelcome tears sting my eyes as he works himself at a steady pace. I remain on lockdown inside. I have to, or the years of memories we shared will fade away.
I, Joslyn Reynolds, need to keep all my emotions about Roman Nixon tucked away, or I’ll drown in them.
I’m afraid I’ll never get my someday or head in the right direction again.
