Beautiful Burn(52)

I leaned back on the grass as Auburn crawled on her knees to me, eyes sparking with a lust she'd kept hidden from me these last months, for my own good I was sure, but it'd killed me every time she'd walked out of the shower wrapped in a towel, my dick too weak to even think about doing what I wanted it to. But now was I ever ready.

Auburn slid up my body, unzipping my jeans as she passed and pushing a hand down the denim. She connected with my cock and my body was wracked with some blend of pleasure and desperate, aching, throbbing pain. My hands reached for her, unhooking the button and sliding the fabric down her thighs. No panties.

"So beautiful,” I moaned, my hands sliding up and down the silky skin. She kicked the shorts from her legs and slid my jeans down my hips, revealing my rock hard erection to her. With a smile on her face she ran her tongue up my shaft, watching it twitch and jump. She placed a soft kiss on the tip, then continued her crawl up to my lips. My hands twisted in her hair and I held her fiercely while I explored her mouth with my tongue. Nestled between her thighs, she kissed me and ground herself against my dick, rubbing at her clit, teasing me at her entrance, and back again. I nearly lost my mind.

"Did you bring a condom?" she murmured between breathless kisses, my cock nestled in the hot silk between her thighs.

I shook my head, breathless at the thought of stopping this just when I was anxious to connect with her again. "The doctor said chemo lowers sperm count.” I arched and jerked my hips. “I think we're safe."

"Mmm..." she hummed and continued to work back and forth before I caught her hips, stilling her long enough to finally bury myself inside of her. My head fell back and a groan vibrated from my throat. Endorphins rushed to my brain as Auburn worked back and forth, her hands locked around my neck, her lips trailing across my throat. I wrapped her hair around my fist and pulled gently, bending her back so I could feast my eyes on the beautiful body I'd missed so much. My hips set a punishing rhythm as I took and took, something I was always doing with her, before her hands slid down my chest, her lips landed at my ear.

"Are you okay?" My heart melted into a puddle at her beautiful feet. She was worried my body couldn’t handle this so soon after chemotherapy. I was worried my body couldn’t handle another day without her.

"I'm perfect.” I nuzzled at her ear and ran my palms down her waist, across her back, to land on her bottom. She moved slower now, and as my muscles felt the strain of overwork for the first time in too long, I slowed my rhythm. Her soft lips trailed kisses around my nipples and her fingernails ran delicately across my prominently pronounced hips. I pushed one hand between her thighs and swirled at the sensitive nerves of her clitoris while she kissed and rocked in a sensual rhythm. It wasn't long before her legs strung tight, her fists clutched at my neck, and she came in slow, delicious waves around my dick, spurring on my own orgasm. With tears in my eyes I spilled all the love I had, pumping slow and steady through my veins, into her. She breathed life into me, and it was finally my time to give it back. I had more hope for my future now, with her, than I ever had in all the years that came before.

I loved her completely. She filled every corner of my enraptured heart. She'd taught me to make each moment so beautiful it's worth remembering.

It was that thought that carried me into the jewelry store a week later. It's for that reason I bought her a ring.

It was finally our time.

The contractor came to break ground on our cozy A-frame on a humid morning in August. Auburn and I waited at nine am to watch the backhoe dig the first trench. The teeth of the heavy machinery bit into the soft ground and we cheered and clapped. Auburn ran her hands over my stubbled scalp as she kissed me through smiles and happy tears. I held her tightly as my body swayed in the sun.

"Are you okay?" She held my biceps as her eyes nailed mine.

"The best I've ever been.” I placed a kiss on the tip of her nose. “I just need some water. This humidity is a killer." I swiped at the sweat on my forehead.

"Here." She shoved a bottle of water at me. "Drink it all, you're probably dehydrated."

I grinned as I unscrewed the top.

“What are you smiling about?” She planted a hand on her hip.

“I was thinking you'll be a great mom someday.” I winked before bringing the cool moisture to my lips.

“Oh.” Her mouth rounded adorably. I took long swallows of the cold water as I watched her eyes avert and her head tilt to one side for a moment. “So...kids, you think you'd like kids someday?” Her eyes had slowly made there way back to mine.

I finished the bottle and took a step to close the distance between us. “I can't wait to have babies with you, Auburn.” I hummed, my hand resting on her flat stomach. Her eyes fell for a moment before a slow smile lit her face. I rubbed at a slow ache in my chest as my smile grew watching the sunlight wash her golden cheeks and shine in a halo of prisms off her silky hair.
