I would have. But Jonah had been the source of our waiting.

“I trust you.”

His gaze traveled back and forth between my eyes. “You trust the birth control? This is a big step; pregnancy can still happen.”

“I’m on the shot and have been for months. No unplanned pregnancies.” I rocked against him again and he shuddered in my arms.

“I want this, more than I could ever tell you. I want to know what it feels like to have you wrapped around me with nothing between us. Just know, if anything ever did happen, unplanned or not, I will never leave you. You’re everything to me, Astrid.” He dropped his head and put every single emotion into his kiss.

I swore, his love for me was a physical thing passing between us. And it was love, I refused to believe this feeling between us was anything else.

“Make love to me,” I whispered when he pulled back.

He moved his knees between mine and lowered his hips. Using his hand, he lined up, and pushed inside. It was a slow, torturous glide.

Jonah gasped and buried his head in the crook of my neck. “Oh, God. This is…” He didn’t say anything else as he rolled his hips, starting that carnal rhythm as he pressed his body against mine.

His lips were right at my ear, amplifying every sound of pleasure and shaky breath. I loved it.

“I’m not going to last.” He shoved his hand between us, rolling my clit as his speed picked up. Soon, his hips pounded a fast tattoo against my own and the combined sensation pushed me over the edge.

“Yes,” I gasped, as my body tightened around his. His own deep groan vibrated against my skin as he shook against me.

We laid there for several minutes, our sweat cooling on my skin. Beck must have come home at some point because music played somewhere else in the trailer.

He propped himself up on one arm and devastated me with the naked emotion shining from his eyes. “I love you, Astrid. I’ve loved you since the beginning, I think. I just didn’t know who I was then, or who I was supposed to be. I know now.”

“I love you, too.” I framed his face with my hands and pressed my lips to his, tightening my calves around his butt to pull him deeper.

“I’m sure life won’t always be like this, but we’re going to enjoy it while we’re young.” He grinned as he started moving again. His softening cock hardening once again.

His exuberance was infectious, and we did, in fact, enjoy ourselves for most of the night.

“Don’t forget your lunch. Did you study for your physics test?” I held out the lunchbox for Trinity to take.

“Yes, dad.” She rolled her eyes, but over the last few months our interactions had softened. I no longer felt like she was humoring or mocking me. With every day that passed with the real Trinity here, I started to lose a lot of the bright fear that had clung to my soul.

I believed she was here to stay.

She might have been going through a teenage rebellious stage, and I wasn’t about to question it. No looking a gift horse in the mouth. It might not be life’s most important rule, but it was pretty close to the top as far as I was concerned.

“Thatch?” Trinity swiped the toe of her shoe over the cheap floor looking everywhere but at me.

“Please God, tell me you’re not pregnant,” I practically pleaded with her.

“What?” She stumbled back and pressed the lunch to her chest. “Fuck no. Why would you even ask that?” She yelled.

“Good, good. You just about gave me a heart attack.” I didn’t even know hearts could start beating that hard that fast. As my heartbeat pounded in my ears, I pulled out a chair and sat. That was a scare I didn’t want to have from her for years. Maybe a decade.

At least I didn’t have to worry about that with Astrid, since she’d gone on the shot. I squinted at Trinity. Someone should have the birth control discussion with her. She was smart, and she probably already knew all about it, but her choices in friends made me question everything.

I opened my mouth to bring it up then shut it and shook my head. I couldn’t do it. As much as I loved her and we had this weird father daughter role going on now, she was still my sister.

Maybe Astrid could make a few well-placed comments to make sure Astrid was covered. Since I only had student insurance, Trinity was on Medicaid. They covered birth control completely. Astrid could slip that out in pleasant conversation during one of their girl’s nights.

“You were acting weird. I thought you were going to tell me something I didn’t want to hear.”

She blew a raspberry and sat in the chair across from me. “Sorry, no dark and dirty confessions today,” she said as she looked at me like I was mental. I was a weird art student, so it wasn’t that far off.
