“You told me no,” I point out.
Her eyes turn sad. “Yes. Because that kind of surety was stolen from me a long time ago. I know how easily everything can change. I know that children deserve the best we can give them. They are so innocent, and I wanted to make sure my child had the best possible chance at a normal life.”
“She’s lucky you’re her mother,” I tell her.
“I’m lucky to be her mother. But, that doesn’t mean that I don’t regret saying no to you. I regret it every day.” Her quiet confession is the last thing I expected to hear.
“Really?”
“I was so worried about depriving her of things I thought she needed to be happy. But I never imagined how much I’d be depriving myself of, in the process.”
I cup her face, cradle it in the palm of my hand and stare into those pools of breathtaking brown that are always a reflection of what is really in her heart.
Right now, all I can see is love. Shaped, molded, transformed and bolstered by time and distance. But at its core, it’s the same love we found that summer.
“Losing you fucking hurt, Kal… but I don’t think I would trade this journey for anything.”
She shakes her head and smiles wistfully, but with joy, too. “Me neither.”
“When I left for Howard, I was nursing the biggest heartache of my life. And I got through and was driven by my need to cling to and honor my time with you by doing something that spoke to my heart.”
“So, I helped you embrace your sensitive side?” she quips.
“I’m not sensitive,” I growl.
“Oh, baby… you so are.” She smiles, gently.
I ignore her, pointedly. “I said all of that to say… I loved you then, but I wasn’t ready.”
“Well, how introspective of you,” she says and I press my lips to hers and savor how they yield so easily to me.
Our kisses have mellowed since she got here… they feel more urgent than desperate.
We pull apart and I say, “I want to meet your daughter.”
Her eyes dance and she claps her hands together excitedly. “I told her about you.”
“Did you tell her how good-looking I am?”
She rolls her eyes. “You’re unbearably cocky.”
“Nah. I’m a humble motherfucker. And I have to say, it’s nice to finally have a mother to fuck.”
She groans and covers her face.
“Remi, you’re still dropping those lame-ass pickup lines.”
“How about this for a pickup line, instead?” I grab her hand and press it to my cock. Her fingers grip it immediately and fuck me, it feels so fucking good.
“I like this line a lot. I’m responding very well to it,” she whispers and we stroke my cock together through my pants and when I start to get hard, I pull her hand away.
She pouts. “You tease.”
“Never.” I fist my hand in her hair and tug her head back so her throat is exposed. “Let me show you all of the things I’ve learned since you’ve been gone.”
