His admission sparks a light inside me, a glimmer of a future where our partnership is built on mutual respect and love, not societal roles or expectations.
"I love you, Jake. And it means everything to hear you say that. I guess we're both learning, aren't we? How can we be partners and parents together, and most importantly, how can we support each other, without losing ourselves?"
He nods, pulling me closer until our foreheads touch. "We are. And we'll keep learning every day. I love you too. More than I can say. And I promise, from here on out, we face everything together. The good, the bad, and every little chaotic moment."
He then tickles my sides to make me giggle, something he used to do back when we were younger. Helping to relieve the rest of the tension in the air.
Chapter 17
~ Jake ~
The Power of Forgiveness
Her giggles make me so happy as I continue to tickle her sides.
I still can't believe she's super ticklish there after all these years. I hope to make her laugh like this for the rest of our lives.
I want to make her smile and be happy all the time. Sad moments can go on and on, whether we want them to or not, but I can be in control of making sure Mia and all the children are always happy.
The thoughts force me to pull Mia more into my arms as I stop tickling her to hold her now. I hold her close, and I do not want to let go.
My nose inhales her scent when my face buries into her hair. The tiny hairs on my arms stand up from the power this woman has over me.
How strongly she affects me. I thought nothing was more substantial than a cup of black coffee or the heavy fall winds whenever I rode Luther, my favorite horse, along the mountain trail.
But Mia has proven to be much stronger.
It's both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
I cup Mia's chin while staring deep into her eyes. Her eyes, those windows to her soul, meet mine, and it’s like we’re the only two people in the world. “Mia,” I whisper, my voice thick with emotion.
“Every day with you is a blessing I don’t take for granted.” She smiles, that heart-stopping smile that lights up her entire face, and it’s my undoing.
I lean in, my lips finding hers in a tender, searching kiss. It’s soft at first, a gentle exploration that speaks volumes of our love. But as always, the connection between us ignites something more, and the kiss deepens, fueled by years of passion and an unbreakable bond.
Our hands roam, tracing familiar paths over each other’s bodies, reigniting memories and sparking new ones.
I pull back just enough to gaze into her eyes again, seeing the love and desire reflected at me. “I want to spend every day making you feel loved, valued, and cherished,” I vow, my fingers tracing the outline of her face, memorizing every detail as if for the first time.
Mia’s breath catches, pulling me closer, her voice a whisper against my lips. “Jake, you do. Every day, you do.”
And with those words, the world fades away until there’s nothing but the warmth of her body pressed against mine, the taste of her kiss, and the unspoken promises we weave together in these quiet moments.
I hold her tighter, not wanting this moment to end as I continue to taste her lips. She is enjoying it while I undress her because I need her so much right now. And how she responds to me with deep kisses lets me know she reciprocates.
Our pajamas fall to our feet after stripping off our clothing. I lift her into my arms and lay her down on her back across the bed.
I return my lips to hers while slowly parting her legs to invite myself to her wet front entrance. My moans are shaky when I slide inside of her tightness, as she encourages me to keep going with caresses along my arms.
My fingers glide over her skin with a fiery intensity, drawing out gasps and moans of pleasure from her. With every touch, I feel the fire within me grow stronger, consuming me until all I can think about is her and the desperate need coursing through my body.
Her body responds to mine with equal enthusiasm, arching and writhing beneath my touch. Our bodies are electric, igniting each other in an inferno of desire. I trace every inch of her skin, mapping out the curves and dips that drive me wild.
Our passion intensifies with every kiss and caress, building into an unstoppable force. I feel her nails dig into my back, marking me as hers as we continue to lose ourselves in each other.
Her walls clench my manhood as my thrusts bring her closer to the brink of climax.
Our movements become more frenzied, matching the rhythm of our beating hearts. Nothing else exists now except for our tangled limbs and the unquenchable fire between us.
