“So… you went to her house?” he asked, as he tried to wrap his thoughts around what she was telling him. He was beginning to think that it couldn’t have gone well to have them both there when Naomi thought that Jen was having an affair with him.
“Yes, I went to her house, not realizing who she was. When I did find out, it was pretty awkward, as I’m sure you could imagine, but she didn’t know anything about me, and she just started talking and telling me what she wanted done there at the house. I would have turned her down for the job, but the truth is that I really need the work. The design firm needs the work. So, we don’t really have a choice; we have to do it.” She raised a brow at him and continued.
“Anyway, she and I got to talking, and she told me that she is looking forward to the work because she can use it as a form of escapism from thinking about her ex-boyfriend David. I didn’t know that she had an ex-boyfriend, and I might have asked if she wasn’t seeing you, and she almost laughed in my face at such a ridiculous notion. She said the same thing that you told me: that the two of you are nothing more than very good friends and that there has never been a romance between you two, and there never would be. She thinks of you as a brother. She was much more wrapped up in her ex-boyfriend David, and getting over him, than talking about you. I was floored.” Naomi saw Scott’s face brighten as he began to realize what it was that Naomi was telling him.
“So you know now! So you believe me, right?” he asked with anxious hope as the truth dawned on him.
She smiled at him and nodded her head. “I do believe you, and I’m so very sorry that it took me hearing it from her to believe the truth. I should have believed you when you told me, but it just didn’t sound like it was the truth when you said it. I’m so sorry that I doubted you. It hurt me a great deal when I thought you were just keeping me on the side while you were dating her publicly. That was so hard to take, and it made it impossible for me to believe you. I hope you understand, and I hope that you can accept my apology.”
He launched himself toward her and hugged her to him tightly, burying his face in her hair and her neck, breathing her in as he closed his eyes. “Yes… god yes. I understand, and I definitely accept your apology, as long as you accept mine. I never wanted you to be hurt. It’s just… so complicated in my world. It’s tough to balance all of the things that I have to do and be for everyone, and I couldn’t figure out how to fit you into all of that. I’m so sorry, too.”
He kissed her cheek gently and whispered in her ear. “God I miss you. I miss you every single day.” He kissed her cheek again, and her heart skipped a beat as his mouth left her cheek and found her lips, moving over them tenderly, hungrily, almost drinking her in. She kissed him in return, and as she did so, everything in her began to feel as if it was right, finally.
His tongue moved over hers, twisting and turning with it, and his arms held her to him tightly. Warmth began to ignite deep in her body, and the familiar yearning for him stirred within her. She felt his hands caress her back and her hips and it only made her growing need for him stronger.
She had missed him, and she hadn’t realized just how much until she found herself in his passionate embrace, losing all of her inhibitions to him as every moment passed and the heat between them grew stronger.
His mouth moved from her lips to her throat and his breathing became ragged and short as he hardened in need for her. “Naomi…” he whispered in a throaty voice, “please… please come to bed with me.” He paused in his kissing of her neck long enough to take her face in his hands and looked into her dark brown eyes. “Please… I’ve missed you so much. I need you.” He barely spoke.
Something in the back of her mind hesitated for the briefest moment, but staring into his blue eyes and feeling the sweet breath from his partially opened lips on her skin blurred all of her thoughts, and she felt herself fall right into temptation, and into his embrace as she kissed him back breathlessly. “Yes!” she answered in between kisses. “Yes. I missed you too!”
With one swift movement, he picked her up and carried her in his iron arms down the hall to his bedroom, where he laid her back on his bed. He lost no time in shedding his own clothes, but he lingered slowly in removing hers; one piece at a time, as if he was unwrapping a precious gift.
With the last stitch of her clothing removed, he crawled into the bed with her, sliding down between her legs and gently pushing her thighs apart. With slow tender kisses, he made his way up her inner legs to her core, where he teased her for a few moments at first, flicking his tongue over her, tracing the outside of her, and kissing her sensually, but then he delved his tongue into her body, making her gasp and arch her back, reaching her hands down to his head and twisting her fingers into the dark locks of his hair.
She began to move her body against his mouth, moaning in pleasure as he manipulated her with his tongue; sucking, biting, nibbling, and tasting her until she writhed and cried out, burying her head into the pillow as her body shivered and trembled in release. Only then did he move himself up to hover over her, kissing and sucking at her breasts, taking her dark nipples into his teeth, and making her plead with him to make love with her.
In one long, slow movement, he entered her, pushing himself into her until he had reached the full depth of her, and he had to close his eyes as the feel of her body around his overwhelmed him. He began to move in her, and she rocked her body with his; steady and slow at first, as they lost themselves in the ecstasy they felt.
Their lovemaking lasted a long sweet while, turning and rolling with one another in the sheets, holding each other, crying out in pleasure as the fires between them mounted, until at last their passion consumed them and they clung to one another, both of them holding on tightly as their bodies tensed completely, and they came together, their orgasms overtaking them in blissful release.
She laid down with him, trying to catch her breath and reveling in the happiness that she felt flooding her. She had missed him so much, and ached for him, and her need for him had been satiated to a great extent.
He held her close and gazed into her eyes, happy once more to be so close to her. “Everything feels so right. It feels like it’s all exactly like it should be. How do you do that?” he asked with a quiet smile as he touched her cheek.
She shook her head slightly. “Oh no; it’s not me. It’s us. It feels right because it is right. That’s all there is to it.”
He leaned close and kissed her long and softly, and then laid his head down again. “This feels like nothing I’ve ever known before. Like… it’s not just you and just me as individuals. It feels like we’re one when we’re together this way. Is this what it’s supposed to feel like?”
“Is this what what is supposed to feel like?” she asked as her heartbeat began to speed up again.
He smiled. “Is this what love is supposed to feel like?” he corrected himself.
She grinned back at him. “I’m sure it is.” The time had come to tell him. “Scott…” she began, taking his hands in hers and holding them gently.
He looked at her expectantly. “Yes?”
“I have something important to tell you. Something pretty big.?
? Her heart was racing, and she was anxious to find out what he would say and think about it.
“What is it?” he asked, looking at her curiously.
She hesitated, taking a deep breath. “I’m pregnant.” She answered him in a hush, watching his sky blue eyes for any hint of his response.
He stared at her. Silence surrounded them like a thickness that could not be breached for a long minute.
“What?” he asked, blinking. He was certain that he’d heard her wrong. “What did you say?”
