“Don’t worry, Mr. Anthony. My friends will take good care of her.”
“I know. I just worry. Thank you for everything you’ve done.”
“I help where I can.”
Chapter 17
Joshua looked at his watch again. Eve had been gone all day. It had taken him awhile to stop worrying about Eve. He got caught up on his work, and then he started to worry again.
He looked at his watch. It was after seven. He got up and went out to Mr. Johnson who was sitting on a chair in the hallway. That was a sight he’d never seen before. “Are you all right?”
“I’m waiting for Eve. The night doorman is already here, but I wanted to thank my friends for helping on such short notice.”
“I’ll gladly pay them for their time. It seemed to mean a lot to Eve,” Joshua told him.
Mr. Johnson nodded. “She’s a lovely girl.”
“The best,” Joshua stated. He looked at his watch again. It was two minutes after seven. “Maybe I should go over and check on them.”
“Of course. If they arrive in the meantime, I’ll let them into your apartment.”
“Thank you, you’re a life saver.”
Joshua parked behind a small truck. He had no idea why this could take so long. The truck was full of boxes marked books. The door to the building was propped open, so he went up.
“Miss Temple, we can carry that, just tell us which pile it should go on.”
“Please, Miss Temple, that’s too heavy for you.”
“I understand, but this is especially important to me. These are the scripts to the plays I’ve been in.”
“I swear we’ll be very careful with them.”
Joshua couldn’t believe his ears or his eyes. Eve was holding onto a heavy box like it was a Ming Vase. “Put that down immediately,” he demanded.
“Josh, what are you doing here?” Eve slowly set down the box. She knew that she was in trouble by the way he spoke and the look in his eyes.
“I came to get you. The doctor said that you were supposed to rest.”
“We’re almost finished,” she told him, meekly.
“You’re finished. We’re leaving now. Thank the nice men for helping you, so we can go home now.”
“There isn’t that much left to do,” Eve protested.
Joshua took hold of her wrist and guided her to the door. There he stopped at looked at Eve. “What do you say?”
“Thank you for your help,” she said meekly to the movers.
“We’ll bring her things over tomorrow morning, sir.”
“Thank you, we’re looking forward to seeing you again. I hope my fiancée didn’t cause you too many problems.”
They said she didn’t, but the look in their eyes said she’d been a bother.
Joshua gave Eve a look that said wait until I get you home.
Mr. Johnson stood when Eve and Joshua came in. “Are you finished with everything, Miss Temple?” he asked.
“Eve is,” Joshua told him. “She didn’t listen to the doctor. I caught her lifting heavy boxes while the men begged her to let them do it.”
“No one likes a tattler.” Eve gave him a mean look.
His jaw dropped. “You’re begging for it,” he declared. “Good evening, Mr. Johnson. I’m sorry you had to stay down here so long, waiting for my fiancée. Your friends are going to bring Eve’s things by tomorrow. You needed wait up any longer.”
“I was glad to wait. It wasn’t a bother,” he assured him.
“Eve, again I need to remind you. What do you say when someone has gone out of their way to be nice to you?”
“Thank you, Mr. Johnson.” Eve sounded and felt like a naughty little girl who was in a lot of trouble.
Joshua marched her into the elevator. He was so mad. All he could think of was Eve crying because she’s lost the baby. That was a face he never wanted to see. That kind of hurt in her eyes would break his heart. He’d never let that happen.
Once he had her in their apartment, he brought her into their bedroom. “I love you too much to let you endanger yourself like that. Bare your bottom, Eve. Or so help me God, I’ll do it for you.”
“What are you talking about?” Eve figured she knew exactly what he was talking about. She had a long history of being bratty when she wasn’t sure how things were going to go. Eve liked to have clear lines, a path that lead to a specific future. She knew what she had to do to get there: practice for an audition, audition for the play, learn her lines and do a good job at her performance and bow at the end. When her future was up in the air, she couldn’t bear the feeling it gave her, so she snapped at people.
Joshua went to her and opened her jeans. He was already tugging them down when she was able to get over the shock that he was actually doing it.
Joshua took hold of her panties and yanked them down while Eve batted at his hands.
Joshua wasted only a brief second to look at her. He longed to make love to her, but he needed her to listen to him. He was obviously the parent with the most sense at the moment.
“What are you doing? I don’t want to sleep with you.”
“I’m going to spank some respect into you.” He sat down on the couch and tugged her down over his knees. He moved a struggling Eve into a position were her tummy was over the sofa, but her naked rump was placed nicely over his knees.
“Respect?” Eve repeated, letting him know that there was no way she’d ever respect him.
Joshua cupped his hand and smacked Eve on the rounded part of her bottom. That felt so good that he did the same to her other cheek, making that cheek bounce nicely too. “Yes, respect. I made a mistake, granted it was a huge one, but I’ve humbly apologized for that again and again.”
He gave her two more smacks and watched the rippling of her perfect tush.
“I am trying so hard to do right by you.” Each of her hind cheeks received another blow. “The harder I try, the more you throw it in my face.” He straightened his hand and smacked down straight, getting both cheeks. Her whole body shook from the blow.
Eve had tears in her eyes, but her eyes weren’t the only part of her that was getting wet.
She told herself it was because this was where they’d made love for the first time. He’d given her a few smacks back then too. Now she was like Pavlov’s Dog. He’d conditioned her to get wet for him when he spanked her. The sad thing was that he didn’t even know it.
Each smack was taking her to new heights. The problem was that she loved him. She wanted him to love her back. If only she’d called him or stopped by sooner. It would have given them a chance to see if they were compatible before they found out about the baby.
It was all too easy to picture them taking a walk in the park, holding hands and eating in a fancy restaurant. Eve could also picture him getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him. That would have been so much better than hearing that he’d marry her, so she had insurance.
“I want you to know that I’d do anything for you. Whatever you need, I’ll provide it. Be it money, insurance, love or a sound spanking.”
“I don’t need a spanking,” Eve told him.
“Yes, you do. Since we’ve met, you haven’t listened to a word I’ve said.” He smacked at her hind cheeks alternatively, getting them nice and pink. His hand was warm, and he longed to touch her in a less stern and rigorous manner, but he had a point to make. She needn’t to put forth her best foot and try to save this situation too.
He couldn’t do all the work while she threw it in his face what a terrible person he was. They needed to work together, but first she had to change her attitude.
Eve feared that she’d start to purr under the firm strokes that he was giving her. How dare he spank her, and how dare she like it?
She sighed, pushing her backside into his hand.
If only he’d play with her clitoris, she’d be in heaven. She parted her legs a little as an unspoken invitation, hoping that he’d notice and want to touch her gentler.
She was hi
s. This spanking was sealing that fact. Only a husband could spank a woman. Or, as in Eve’s case a little girl with braids in her hair.
Joshua wrapped his arm around her punished bottom. He was wondering if his swats were enough. “Will you try to make our family work? Or do you need a few more swats?” he asked.
“Yes, Josh. Maybe a couple more.” Eve heard that she’d spoken aloud. She covered her mouth with both of her hands.
Joshua couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He was upset and thrilled all in one moment. Upset because he honestly wanted her to stop pouting and work on a solution, and thrilled because he’d obviously found someone who was the counterpart to his spanking fetish.
“Did you just say that you need more?” he said, strictly.
“No, I said, yes to trying,” Eve lied, badly.
Joshua smirked. This was all working out so well. Eve was too shy to tell him what she needed. She’d also been too shy to call him after their first night together.
“I think you need a few more.” His hand sailed down at her backside in a sensual spank. He rubbed her hot bottom while she made noises of appreciation.
“A few more should teach you a lesson.”
Eve loved the command in his voice. This spanking was precisely what she needed to get settled into her new home. This wonderful building was a magical place, where people helped one another, and it was also the place where they’d made their baby, and now Joshua was taking care of her other needs.
Eve didn’t suffer from morning sickness. Instead, pregnancy had made her long for love, physical love. She wanted to come so badly.
Joshua stopped rubbing and gave her another smack.
Eve moaned with thankfulness.
Joshua had a feeling that she might be wet for him. He rubbed her backside in a circular motion for a moment, and then he reached between her open legs. He stroked her back and forth slowly working his way up to her clitoris. She was deliciously wet for him.
Eve opened her legs wider, so he could reach her. She knew that he was a fantastic lover. Her body knew that he was capable of taking care of hers. Good sex would help her relax. That was what she needed most: a good cry, good sex and lots of rest.
Joshua rubbed her nub while she panted. He could tell that Eve was close to having an orgasm. He’d love to give her one. Anything that would make her have positive thoughts about him.
Eve circled her hips and pressed her body into his hand. She was wanton with lust.
When she started to repeat the word yes, he stroked harder and faster, bringing her to the brink.
He removed his hand and gave her a swift slap across her rump.
Eve came with a loud scream. Her hips were rotating, and she wanted this to go on forever. This was the release she longed for since she’d last seen him.
She pushed her body up, so she was on her hands and knees. She rubbed her feet together to get rid of her jeans and her panties.
Eve straddled him and whispered in his ear that she wanted him.
Joshua took hold of her hips. He lifted her up and pressed her against his chest, so he could open his trousers and get out his raging penis. He hadn’t been unaffected by her spanking and orgasm.
As soon as his penis was freed, Eve lowered down and captured his penis inside of her. She placed her hands left and right on his face. She lifted up a little, feeling the way his penis moved inside of her.
Eve kissed him soundly. Then she released his lips and stared into his eyes, wanting him to remember that they’d make love here before.
Joshua looked into her eyes. He saw that she wanted something from him. He took hold of her hips and positioned her the way he wanted her.
Joshua thrust up into her with force, moving quickly, because he wanted to give her another orgasm.
Eve closed her eyes and let her head fall forward, so it was resting on his shoulder.
Joshua turned his head. He wanted to watch Eve enjoying him. He loved her blue eyes. Joshua saw his future in those eyes.
Joshua moved Eve’s body up and down on his penis. Sleeping with her was better than he’d hoped. He’d never want to sleep with anyone else.
Eve was crying, letting go of everything that had been bothering her. It didn’t matter anymore. All that mattered was that they were together and not fighting. She needed him, and he was there for her, filling not only her sexual needs but also her need for harmony.
“Eve, I want you to look at me. I want to see you come.”
Eve moved her head towards him, but she couldn’t hold her had up. She laid her head on his forehead, but her eyes were tightly shut.
“You’re so beautiful, darling.” He couldn’t hold back. He thrust as fast as he could. His fingers pressed into her flesh. Their lovemaking turned to carnal desire. It was a need, begging to be satisfied.
Eve remembered that she’d sucked on his earlobe last time, so she did it again.
“Holy crap, Eve.” Joshua had never felt better. He couldn’t hold back much longer. He needed her to come, so he could come too.
Eve let go of his earlobe and screamed out. “Josh! I love you.” She twisted left and right as she came.
She laid her forehead on his shoulder and slowly caught her breath, while Joshua rubbed his hands up and down her back, whispering praise in her ear.
Eve circled her hips as her climax waned.
“I love you too, Eve. Never doubt that.” Joshua thrust on until he came too. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, as if he was afraid that she’d leave. He wanted to keep her in his life.
It wasn’t something that he could explain in words. It was a feeling. He knew that if he lost Eve, he’d regret it for the rest of his life.
He hoped that by giving her love, and a couple of orgasms, that she’d take a chance with him and give him a fair chance.
“I’ll love you for the rest of my life, Eve.”
“Do you promise me that?” she asked.
“Yes, I do.”
It was on the tip of Eve’s tongue to point out that he promised her that before.
Instead, she bit her tongue and figured that she learned something from her spanking. If he had known, he would have been proud of her.
Chapter 18
Eve looked Joshua in the eyes. “I’d like to go to bed and make love again.”
“Of course, darling.” Joshua’s mind was telling him that he should ask her if she were really up to something like that, but common sense told him to shut up and keep the woman he loved happy.
“I want you to run your hands over my body and tell me that you think I’m beautiful and special.”
“I can do that, Eve,” he told her eagerly. He lifted up one of her braids and kissed it. It was messy with lots of hairs sticking out of it. He needed to brush and braid it again. There was nothing more precious than a little freckled-face girl with braids in her hair.
Joshua grabbed onto Eve’s hips again and lifted her up and off of his penis.
“I hate it when you do that,” she told him.
Joshua didn’t know how to respond. She had experiences and memories with him that he couldn’t share.
He helped her to her feet and then removed her clothing. His hands roamed over her bare skin.
“No, not here. I want to lay down.”
“That’s fine, Eve.” Joshua slipped out of his clothes and brought her directly to bed. He lay down next to her in bed and admired her body with his eyes and then his hands.
“No. I want you to lay on top of me.”
Joshua obliged her wish instantly. He lay down on her and ran her hands over her body while his eyes feasted on the sight of her.
Eve wrapped her legs around his calves.
Joshua thrust into her, ready again. He made love to her gently, kissing her often. He was so glad that he’d spanked her. It was the turning point. Things would be right between them from now on.
Eve was grabbing onto him anywhere she could get a decent grip. She wanted him to be a
s deeply inside of her as he could get.
He was doing it again. He was making her feel good about herself. She felt that she deserved to be loved and cared for, and she wanted him to be the one to do it.
Again she thought about how right it felt to make love with him. She lifted her head and looked down at him. The way he was moving in and out was simply wonderful. Life didn’t get better than this. She wanted to be with him forever.
“Don’t stop,” she begged. “I need you a little longer.”
“I won’t, Eve. I need you too.” Joshua kissed her shoulder and thrust up into her harder. He relaxed and then drove himself into her again.
“I love you,” she whispered into his ear.
“I love you too.” He meant it. She was the only woman who would ever interest him.
Eve was on the ledge again. She knew that she’d fall any second now. The movement of his strong thick penis inside of her was too amazing for her to hold back long. She had to dig her fingers into his shoulders.
“Josh,” she said with a shaky voice. “Josh I want us to do this every day for the rest of our lives.”
“So do I, and we will. I love you, Eve.”
“Josh!” Eve called out. Her toes curled in and she grabbed on tightly the back of his strong thighs.
They both went stiff and clung to the other. They were coming, both at the same time, clinging to the other as the waves rocked hard in their bodies lurch and shook with Ecstasy.
Joshua laid his head on the pillow next to Eve. “I think you wore me out. I’m too tired to braid your hair tonight.”
“You should braid it before we make love tomorrow night.”
“Okay, I will.” Had she just said that they were going to make love again tomorrow night? That was what it sounded like.
He slowly pulled out of her as she whimpered. He loved that she did that.
Joshua turned out the light and snuggled in closely to her, making sure that her body was covered up.
“Josh?”
“Yes, darling?”
“That was what you missed. We made love like that last time.”
