“Mai is off today and tomorrow. She will be back in two days. Now let’s go.”

“But I don’t wanna.”

“I know you don’t want to, baby, but you need to. I promise you’ll feel better later. Besides, the sooner you get your nap in, the sooner you can wake up and play in the pool. Then it will be time for your mommy to pick you up for dinner and to spend the night with her,” Myraj explained.

Malachi excitedly pumped the air with his fists and ran toward the house.

“The audacity of you! The woman has no shame,” I teased, laughing as Malachi ran into the house.

“None, whatsoever. Not when it comes to that BDE you’re throwing around.”

I got up from the ground and took Malaika from her. She folded the blanket we had been lying on.

“Hey, while you put that away, I’m going to make sure Chi gets in bed, and I’ll put Malaika to sleep in her crib.”

“Okay. I’ve got some things to take care of while you do that.”

I nodded and headed inside. I grabbed a sippy cup for Malaika before I checked on Malachi, and as expected, he had removed his shoes, and he was lying on his bed with his napping blanket pulled up over him. I walked into his room, leaned over him, and kissed him.

“Have a good rest, my little prince.”

He smiled at me and muttered, “You too, Daddy,” through a yawn.

I headed to Malaika’s nursery and sat in the rocker with her. She rested her head against my chest and sipped from her cup as I read her a book. She pumped her chubby brown fist happily in the air as she listened and drank her juice. Before I got to the end of the book, her little head bobbed forward.

I stood and placed her in her crib after kissing her. Once I pulled the blanket over her shoulder, I turned on the baby monitor and left the room.

When I walked into the bedroom, not only had Myraj washed up, but she had grabbed a bottle of wine and some chocolate-covered almonds and was lying on the bed waiting for me.

“I want to freshen up too,” I replied when she beckoned me.

“But you’re so good when you taste like sunshine.”

I winked at her and headed inside the bathroom and cleaned up. I didn’t want the stench of traveling on me when I made love to my wife.

I wasn’t surprised when, minutes later, she joined me in the shower.

We exchanged no words, just a series of kisses and touches. My wife kneeled before me and took me to the back of her throat, ensuring that my erection was solid before she stood again. I lifted her in my arms, pressed her back against the shower, and grabbed the showerhead. I turned the pressure on a low massage and let her wrap her legs around me. When she was in the perfect position, I used the showerhead and aimed the spray against her clit.

Her hips jerked upward, and her head went back. Her arms lazily dropped from being wrapped around my neck to sliding down my arms. I continued massaging her for a while before I hung the nozzle up.

When she slid down my body, I kneeled, and she perched one foot over my shoulder and spread her labia for me. I eased my tongue through her folds along with my fingers as she cried out. I lovingly teased her lower lips with sucks and licks before I prodded my tongue inside of her and plundered her. She was whimpering and had completely soaked my lips and beard by the time I stood up.

The kiss we shared was steamier than the mirror as I slowly impaled her with my arousal. We released a series of grunts and groans, enjoying the rare time that we had to get away from the kids when there was no nanny around. I made love to my wife, loving how she felt wrapped around me, soaking me, moaning my name, running her fingers through my beard, and creating a cocoon for my erection.

My hand gripped her neck, and I tightened slightly as her eyes flew open and her mouth parted a bit. “Yes,” she pleaded as I thrust up inside of her.

“Myraj.” I grunted.

“Yes, baby?”

“You are my life, my everything. I never want to breathe without you on the other side, waiting to inhale what I have to offer.”

She cried out and covered my lips with hers. Tears fell from her eyes as she released all around my dick. I released inside of her, and I thanked God for her and our two children.

TWO YEARS LATER

My intention had never been to save myself for marriage. My only intention had been to focus on building my company and not give my heart away carelessly to someone who would wreck it. Yet, in the midst of all that, I had somehow become married to my company and looked up one day and became afraid because I was all alone.
