He gives a sly little smile and says, “I do. Is that what you’re so excited about?”
“Well, what’s her name?” I squeal.
He throws his head back and burst out laughing.
“Well?”
“Oh baby, you are too cute.” He leans in and kisses my temple. “Helen, her name is Helen.”
“Helen?” I say perplexed. This is not what I expected.
“Yes, Helen. She’s sexy and silver. So I went with Helen for Helen Mirren. There’s no denying she’s a sexy older woman; a female version of a ‘silver fox’.”
I can’t help the fit of giggles that escapes me. He never ceases to surprise me—I think that’s why it tickles me more than it should. He’s strong, supportive and silly all at the same time. He’s perfect. It’s in this fit of laughter that I realize it’s time to let him know that he doesn’t need to remain a gentleman. I’m ready to be taken advantage of.
“Hey, Georgia?”
“Yes?”
“Can we go back to your place?”
He just looks at me with a smile on his face and one eyebrow raised, and I know he knows what I’m asking with my request. To confirm that he understood just what I’m implying, he grabs me by the waist, places me in my seat, stretches my seat belt around me and buckles me in. He doesn’t say much on the way home, but I don’t think I have ever seen him drive so fast.
Walking into Jonathan’s house reminds me of the last time I was here. That day was so full of joy and passion. Jonathan did everything he could to bring back what we had in California. That was also the first time he really talked to me about Matt and his mom. He opened up to me that day, and even though in the back of my mind I knew that I belonged to him, that was the night that it became concrete. I remember being afraid to speak those three little words to him that night.
Unfortunately, it took his shooting for me to finally confess my love to him. I learned a valuable lesson sitting there in that hospital, waiting for him to wake up. That lesson was to never hold back, and to always let those you love know what they mean to you. I don’t plan to let any more days go by that Jonathan doesn’t know how much I love him.
When we walk into the house we’re greeted by a very excited Frances. I squat down and give her the attention she’s looking for while Jonathan slides his truck keys onto the counter. Once I’m standing back up, he gets her attention and opens up the back door for her. He says he wants to take a quick shower, and asks me to let Frances back in when she’s ready.
She’s an old gal, and it takes her some time, but she finally comes back to the door so I can let her in. I’ve just finished drying her wet paws off when I turn around and Jonathan is in front of me, already showered and dressed in clean clothes. That must have been the fastest shower in the history of all showers.
“I’m so glad to have you here again, Em,” he says as he walks toward me.
Wasting no time, I take him by the hand and lead him to his bedroom. When we enter, I flip the switch for the fireplace and walk over to turn on his low lit light next to the bed, just like he did the last time I was here. I stand him next to the bed and continue to take the lead.
“Jonathan, I know you’re trying to take it slow and ease back into things after our time apart.”
I grab the hem of his fresh shirt and lift it over his head.
“You are being a total gentleman, and you didn’t even make any moves while we ‘parked’ today,” I add, as I kick off my flats, and then unbutton his jeans. He’s barely breathing and hanging on my every word. My every move.
“I appreciate that and it means the world to me, but just because we can’t have any sleep overs doesn’t mean that we need to take everything slow.”
I pull his jeans down his strong thighs and gently push him back onto the bed. He falls back, but sits up on his elbows to watch the rest of the show. I pull his jeans the rest of the way down his legs and drop them to the floor. He seems to have been in a rush to get dressed because he’s going commando and is now completely naked.
To see this beautiful man laid out before me is a sight to see. He is a perfect specimen, and I could study every lean muscle on his body, but we’ll save that for later. He still hasn’t said a word, but his eyes haven’t left mine once, and I can tell he’s listening intently to every word that I am saying to him.
From my standing position in front of him, I pull my shirt over my head and make sure that he’s looking at me when I say, “I’m here Jonathan. I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want to waste any more time away from you or hiding how I feel about you.” I tell him this with all the conviction that I feel in my heart. I pull my pants off and stand before him in just my bra and panties. “I have only been in love with one person in my entire life, and that person is you. I know how lucky we are to have a second chance. I’ll do whatever you need so that you know just how much I love you.”
I crawl onto the bed, rest my body on top of his and kiss him with everything I have. I pour all the love that I can into this kiss so that he has no doubt how I feel about him. After a few glorious minutes, I whisper in his ear. “Make love to me, Georgia.”
Without words, he spends the next few hours showing me just how much he loves, wants and needs me. I have never felt so cherished.
Special
Jonathan
It’s the night before Thanksgiving and I couldn’t be happier. I have my girls here with me in my hometown of Savannah. To top it all off, we’re sitting in the Fanuas living room. Emily sits next to me on the love seat while Ireland snuggles up to me on my lap. She’s tired from the long day of travel, and I have a feeling she’s going to be asleep sooner rather than later. I have everybody I care about in the world in one room. The only people that are missing are Devon and Gabby, but we’ll chat tomorrow, and I’ll spend part of Christmas with them.
