Love Survives (Love's Suicide #2)(119)



“Don’t make me stop, Brooks. We have all night.”

I corrected her, “No, Kat, we have forever.”

We flipped around again and I watched Kat sinking down between my legs. The idea of her tasting her own arousal on me sent me into a frenzy. I grabbed her body and pulled her up until her * was right in my face. From there I began my decent, licking and sucking until I felt her body spasming over mine.

After that I knew I was running out of time. I repositioned us, getting up on my knees to wrap her legs around my waist. There was no need to look down to enter her.

My pace was unhinged, provoked by my own desire to lose absolute control. I could feel my own rapture as I lost control over my actions, falling down when euphoria left me to explode inside of her.

Afterwards, I pulled her to lie on top of me. We kissed as she stroked my sensitive skin. I took her hand and kissed it gently. “I’ll move my clothes in tomorrow.”

Then I saw the smile I loved so much taking over her whole face.

Right before she started to fall asleep, I began laughing. Getting caught up in something she had said before.

“What’s so funny?” She asked.

“I was just thinking how you said I wouldn’t get any action on this bed.”

She let out an air-filled laugh and reached between my legs. “We’re just getting started.”





Chapter 59


September 11th 2013

“I can’t believe it’s been twelve years,” Kat said as we stood together looking down at her parent’s headstones. B was running around Branch and Melissa with a small bouquet of yellow roses. Since it was also her birthday, she was dressed for the occasion.

I took Kat’s hand and squeezed it reminding her that she’d never have to do this alone. “They’d be proud of you.”

“I know they’re watching over us. In my heart, I know they gave us B. Her being born on the same date they left me can’t just be a coincidence.”

“It’s fate,” We heard my mom say as she and my dad made there way over to us. “It has to be.”

It took us a couple weeks to get over the shock of what my mother had told us. I still think there is a little animosity between she and Kat, not that they ever let anyone see it.

It took a call from my dad to help us see that we needed to put it all behind us. If he could forgive her, then so should we. For me, I was just angry she’d kept the truth from Kat, when I knew in the long run it had only helped her.

We all had skeletons in our closets and it wasn’t right to judge.

My brother came up behind us and put his hands on both Kat’s and my shoulder.

“I think it’s time we go back to the house and have sour beef and dumplings. The past two years Mom refused to make them, because you weren’t there, Katy. We had some craptastic chicken instead.”

“In my defense, it was an award winning recipe,” our mom added.

I turned my attention back to Kat. Not only was it already a special day for a couple reasons, but I had something else planned that I needed to tend to. It was a special surprise, one that required me to separate from my one and only for a little while. "I need to go get B's cake and pick up a surprise. Are you good riding with Mel back to the house in our car? Branch is going to drive me.”

My mom had ordered a cake from a fancy treats shop in the heart of the city and they’d decorated the entire back yard in balloons, including some floating in the pool. B hadn’t seen it yet, but Kat and I knew she was going to go crazy over it.

Since I’d recently been released from duty from the Army, I had been spending a lot of time job searching, amongst other things. Thankfully, I’d managed to get an offer I couldn’t refuse. The only stipulation was that I’d have to relocate. With the help of my father, I’d also been looking at homes in the area, hoping we could move back to where it all began. It was obvious that Kat didn’t want to live in a town where everyone treated her like crap. Personally, I hated it.

With having time off, it was easy to get caught up with my girls. B was the apple of my eye. I woke up every morning to her bright smile.

Buying her a ring was never in my plans. Unlike my brother, I knew what Kat wanted most in the world was to wear her mother’s wedding ring. Since it had been stored safely at my parent’s house for years, I knew exactly where to find it when I was ready to pop the question, and boy was I prepared. It was all part of a big surprise I had planned. With the help of my family I was pretty close to pulling it off. All I could hope for was that when I presented it to her, she’d say yes.



“Earth to Kat.” She finally looked up from the gravesite to see me waving my hand in front of her. “Do I get a kiss goodbye, or are you going to stand there in your weird trance?”

She raised her brows and leaned in. “Sorry.”

When a little peck wasn’t enough, I held the back of her head, shoving my tongue in her mouth for added result.

Branch started making gagging sounds. “Can we go before I puke?”

Kat pulled away and wiped off her face while B came running in my direction. “Daddy, I go.”

“Daddy’s got to get you a surprise. Go home with Mama and I’ll see you there. Okay?”

B stuck out her bottom lip. “No. I go with Daddy.”
