“As long as you’re there, you can take me anywhere.” I pulled him in for another kiss. This time I could feel an energy move between us. “I love you, Taylor Maxwell-Hirano.”
He smiled, a full smile, at his new full name. “I love you, Lydia Maxwell-Hirano.”
“Now,” I said a little breathlessly. I felt the heat building, I couldn’t wait any longer. “Are you ready for the rest of your present?”
“Did you make me this suit just to take it off of me?” He asked, kissing at my neck making me giggle.
“You see through me so easily,” I said, sighing with pleasure.
He scooped me up in his arms and carried me up to our room. We had a very merry Christmas.
Next Christmas we would be joined by another one. I couldn’t wait to share the rest of my life with them. With Taylor. With my family.
Epilogue:
Lydia
“Did you get the photos I sent?” I asked over the phone, lowering my sunglasses slightly to watch Taylor, standing at the edge of the water. It would make a good photo too.
“You two look like you’re having fun,” My aunt said over the line.
“We are. It’s beautiful out here,” I said.
“If you’re not using the house next month, I’ll gladly take my vacation there,” Aunt Renee said and laughed.
“It feels like a dream every day,” I said watching Taylor stretch in the setting sun over the waves, turning them slightly orange.
“How are you feeling?”
I instinctively reached down to my stomach. I definitely looked pregnant. That didn’t stop me from wearing a bright red bikini to the beach. I no longer had morning sickness and was instead feeling the little one kick more and more. We hadn’t learned the gender of the baby, preferring the surprise. We had some strong contenders for the name already either way. Virgo was thrilled that the baby was due in September. She hinted that the baby was going to be a Virgo too. I thanked her for the suggestion but politely declined naming it after its star sign.
“I’m feeling good. Taylor felt the baby kick yesterday,” I said.
“I can’t wait to see you again, Lydia.” My aunt said warmly. She was going to be moving back to Chicago soon, finally retiring and getting to spend time with her grandchild. Our relationship was closer than ever before.
“Love you, Aunt Renee,” I said softly.
“Love you Lydia.”
After I hung up, Taylor walked back over to me. He had gotten pretty tan during the week we had been here. While we cuddled, I was obsessed with running my hands over his golden muscles. I stayed out of the ocean mostly, but he had gonein several times, so his skin smelled and tasted pleasantly like saltwater.
“Are you ready to head back?” He asked, shielding his eyes with his hand.
“Can we watch the sunset?” I asked.
He smiled and settled down beside me on my beach blanket under the umbrella. He laced his fingers with mine as the sun dipped below the waves. The sky melted from blue to orange to pink to purple. It gave me some ideas for some designs I’d been working on. We had watched the sunset every night since we got here, but I never got bored of it. It was beautiful, and it was better with him next to me. Taylor was a solid presence at my side and every day I appreciated how lucky I was.
Once the sun had finally disappeared behind the horizon, and the stars started to appear, hundreds of thousands with how little light there was, we headed back to his beach house. Apparently, he didn't come here very often before now. He told me he bought it, expecting it to be a kind of escape from the pain he felt at home. But whenever he visited, it was just as empty as his house and he couldn’t feel as relaxed as he wanted.
“We can come as often as you want,” he had said after we made love that first night. “Everything's better with you.”
That night, Taylor prepared a meal like he always did. I told him he didn’t have to while we were on vacation, but he loved cooking too much to take a break from it. We explored a local market and brought back the best-looking ingredients and had incredibly fresh meals every night.
When we finished, we drifted back to our room. It had a large window and glass doors that faced the ocean. I walked over and pulled the large curtain in front of it. The ocean was a beautiful sight to wake up to, but this time was private.
Once the room was comfortably dark, lit only by a few candles. I slipped off my bikini top and bottoms. I watchedTaylor’s eyes look me up and down. He always looked at my body like it was new for him and he was always just as hungry as the first time. He slipped off his trunks and revealed his hardening cock.
Without a word I walked past him, stroking a hand down his arm as I passed. I stepped behind him into the bathroom and started the shower. He joined me and together we slowly washed off the beach and the ocean. While we showered, he couldn’t keep his hands off of me. But he held off, the anticipation of the night building. We had all the time in the world, he could wait.
