Losing Him (Mitchell Family #8)(9)

She just laughed. “I guess I’ll see you later today?”

Her question caught me off guard. Had she heard me talking to her husband? “Later?”

“Kat was a member of our church. I’m going to the funeral with my cousin. She’s a cancer survivor. She and her mother are flying in today for the service.”

Heather was going to shit a brick. I was taken back by how forgiving a family could be towards someone they once hated. It made me feel like a real *. “Amy, I better get going. Thanks for the haircut.”

We said our goodbyes and I pried my son away from the other kids. The whole time I was driving home, I reconsidered my feelings for Heather. Maybe she really had changed. Maybe it was time for me to learn to forgive her. If other people could forgive her, why couldn’t I?

Chapter 5


Heather


Jessie didn’t tell me where he’d taken Jacob, but I had too much to do to worry about the two of them. For all I knew he was visiting his sister. It wasn’t like he had to tell me his every move. We weren’t together anymore.

I’d finished getting all of the food prepared for the wake. My dress was ironed and hanging in the bedroom, along with my slip and underwear. I took my long hair out of the ponytail and walked into my bathroom. After getting the water just right, and removing my clothes, I stepped under the showerhead and closed my eyes. The spray of the warm water wet my body and I tried to stand there, relaxing the best I could.

I had plenty of time to just stand there and gather myself, so that’s what I did. I let the water wash away my falling tears. When I felt a hand touching my shoulder, I jumped and opened my eyes. Jessie was standing in the shower, he was naked and looking right into my eyes. “What are you doing?”

He wiped the water from my face. “Shh, don’t talk.” I felt his lips on mine and couldn’t argue with him. All I wanted was this. I wanted to feel his hands touching me, his mouth exploring my skin.

So I said nothing.

I let Jessie take total control. His kisses sent me back against the wall, while his hands held me close to his bare, wet chest. He was ravenous, taking his large hand and wrapping it around my neck, forcing me to look right into his eye. With his other hand, he reached between my legs, shoving a couple fingers inside of me. A low growl escaped his mouth while our tongues continued mingling.

I could feel his erection pressing against my stomach. It had been so long since we’d been like this. I needed him inside of me, filling me and making me feel like I meant something more than nothing to him. I wasn’t a fool, sex was sex, but in my mind, a moment with Jessie was different than any moment I spent with any other man.

Nobody ever looked at me the way he used to. They never touched me the way he did. They never said they loved me. He was the first. He was the only one.

I panted unable to fully conceive that this was really happening.

Tears fell down my face, but they weren’t from pain or suffering. For once, they were from joy. He removed his finger and lifted me up, pressing me back against the wall again. Jessie’s face was buried in my chest, where he suckled my nipples and bit them, making me cry out. He was being aggressive and I refused to fight him. Pain was pleasure, as far as I was concerned.

After adjusting he entered me. A smile formed on the corner of my mouth, just knowing he was inside of me again. His hands dug into my arms as he held me there, up in the air. I wrapped my legs around him, letting my feet sit just above his tight ass. My arms reached underneath his and I held on to the back of his shoulders with my fingernails dug deep into his skin.

His first thrust took my breath away, making me anxious for the next. Our skin slapped together from the water falling in between our close bodies. He pressed his mouth into mine, shoving my head back in the wall. I could feel the air leaving as he forced himself in and out of me, while holding the weight of my body. I used my legs to pump my hips. The way we were positioned was causing his hard cock to rub against my clit each time it moved in and out. The constant tingle created a fire between my legs, forcing me to concentrate on keeping my legs wrapped around him. I was barely holding on, feeling the pressure of him infusing me with such force.

As his face pressed into mine, I licked his lips, pulling them with my teeth. A rush of elation overwhelmed me when my legs began to give from my own body losing control. I dug into his shoulders harder as I held onto the rapture that was upon me.

He tightened his body, forcing me still while closing his eyes and losing the ability to kiss me back. I could feel his cock throbbing as he released his load into me.

Jessie continued holding me, kissing me, as he caught his breath. As my feet came down, I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my toes, kissing him slowly, leaving him with a thank you. I pressed my cheek against his as he held me there. “I love you.”

He didn’t answer back, but with his arms placed securely around my back, I was content enough. Being with Jessie again wasn’t just about sex for me. It was the emotional connection I got when he opened up to me that way.

He kissed me on the top of my head. “Jacob is going to be looking for us soon.”

My eyes got big and I jumped out of the shower, grabbing a towel and heading for the door. “Oh my God! Where is he?”

He started laughing as he tugged on the curtain, opening it for me to see him standing there, naked and half hard. “He’s fine. That show was on that he likes. I gave him a freezer pop and he didn’t even notice me walking away.”
