We go to bed soon after. My preference tonight is to pull her close to my chest and sleep with her in my arms.
She’s the only thing that feels safe right now. The only thing that I want.
Being without her just isn’t an option.
At least, that part I’m sure about. What tomorrow will bring remains to be seen.
I send my mom a message the next day. Not that I think we can ever solve anything via text messages, but I’m too dumbfounded to speak to her. I know I need to hear her version of events, and I’ll have that chance soon enough when they arrive.
Not exactly the best kind of reunion I was hoping for with my family. But there are things to say. I tell her that dad left me anote explaining everything about the big family secret, and that the bubble has burst.
Of course, she will try to ring me when she sees the message, and I don’t know if I’m prepared for that.
I make me and Maddie coffee early. She’s sleeping so peacefully that I don’t want to wake her. She cracks an eye open, though, when she smells the coffee.
“Hey, sleepyhead,” I say softly, climbing back into bed after I place the mugs down.
“Hey yourself,” she says, rolling over sleepily.
She looks so beautiful, all unkempt. Even amid turmoil, she still gets my dick stirring. Maybe a good morning romp isn’t totally out of the question after all.
“How are you feeling?” she asks as I roll on my side to look at her, stroking my fingers down her arm.
“More numb than I did before,” I admit. After the news of dad’s death and now this, I have to wonder how much more I can take in one week. It’s a lot to digest.
And I have a funeral to plan with Genevieve. Mads already said she would help do whatever she can.
“I’m really sorry it came to this. What a way to find out.”
“That’s the part I can’t get over. My whole life has been a lie, based on more lies.”
She shakes her head. “It’s horrible, Ash. I couldn’t even believe what I was reading.”
I stroke my fingers softly around her décolletage. “I guess I have to find out what she says about it all.”
“Maybe don’t be too hard on her until you know the truth, and you hear the words from her mouth.”
I nod. “I think I’ll book a hotel for them, though. They were going to stay here, but I just don’t think that’s a good idea, given the circumstances.” I lick my lips as my fingers trail down to the buttons on her silky pajama top. My other hand reaches out, andI brush her nipple. I need this closeness with her more than I need anything right now.
“I loved you being here last night,” I whisper, moving some hair out of her eyes for a moment, then moving my hand back to her breast, where I tug and squeeze.
She moans and tries to stay coherent, watching me. “I loved it, too,” she whispers.
“I loved spooning you almost as much as I love making love to you.”
“Is that what we’re doing?”
“You make everything better,” I tell her. “And not just the sex. I don’t ever want to use my frustration and angst with you in bed. That’s why I didn’t bend you over last night and fuck you senseless.”
“Such charm,” she muses.
“But seriously, I mean that. I never wanna take you when I feel like that. You mean too much to me.”
She touches my chest softly, and I feel my heart kick up a thousand notches, and my cock tents out even more in my boxers. We both look down and laugh.
“You sure you can keep that thing under control?”
I am already halfway down with undoing her buttons to get a better look at her glorious tits. “Most definitely not.”
