Redemption(63)

Tyler smiled and laced her fingers with mine. She looked at them linked together. “So many years have passed since we properly held hands like this. There was a time I didn’t think I would ever get back to this point.”

I looked at her sadly. “I know.”

Tyler sighed, still staring at our hands. “You’re the father of our child. If you want to see more of us, I can’t stand in your way. I won’t stand in your way.” She looked back up to meet my eyes. “Besides, I want you here, too. I want you to stay.”

My heart exploded with hope at that moment. I wanted to scream from the rooftops just how fucking happy that one sentence made me.

She wanted me to stay.

I didn’t know whether she meant for good, but it was a great start. I couldn’t help the smile that reached my lips.

“Does that mean you want to stay?” Tyler looked timidly towards me.

“Rosey, I will stay as long as you and Jeremy have me. If you want me to stay, wild horses couldn’t make me leave.”

Tyler leaned forward and touched her forehead to mine. “I don’t know what our future holds, Dean. I can’t make any definite decisions yet. I have Jeremy to think of in all of this.”

I nodded. “Of course you do. He is your number one priority, just as the both of you are mine.”

Tyler leaned back and smiled. “Thank you. Just give it time. If you can stay around for a while, I’d like to see how things go.”

I nodded with a smile. “That is all I can ask for.”

Tyler sighed with a smile. “Good.” Then she turned in the direction of the hallway into the living room. “Did Jeremy find us on the sofa together this morning?” I nodded and she gave me a concerned frown. “What did he say?”

I smiled. “He said you said sleeping on the sofa was bad for you.” She started chuckling. “I told him that we must have fallen asleep without realizing, and that’s when he asked me for pancakes.”

Tyler raised her eyebrow. “Pancakes, ha? You even got me to eat one. What was that about?”

I got off the stool and eased myself in between her legs. I nuzzled her neck and eased my way up to her ear. “You used to be so curvy. I loved your curves, Tyler. Don’t you realize boys like a little more booty to hold at night?” I pulled back to gage her reaction.

Tyler giggled. “You really are on a roll with the pop songs lately, aren’t you?”

I tilted my head a little. “Despite being in my thirties, I still like to keep up with the times.”

Tyler laughed. “Oh, yeah?”

I pulled Tyler forward into my hardness. She gasped as I smiled. “Yeah. I also want to lick you up and down until you say stop.”

She raised her eyebrow. “Really?” I nodded. “What makes you think I’ll say stop? It will be more like ‘lick it good’.” She breathed heavily into my mouth and I couldn’t wait any longer.

I placed my lips on hers and felt the warmth of them against mine. I could taste the coffee she had been drinking and smell the perfume she wore. My senses were going into overdrive. I wanted her again. I wanted her all the fucking time. I think it was even worse knowing I had to contain myself more around her because of Jeremy. The more I knew I couldn’t push this, the more I wanted to.

Suddenly, as if reading my mind, Tyler pulled away and started giggling.

“What’s so funny?” My smile mimicked hers.

“It just feels like we’re naughty teenagers. It’s almost like life is making us relive what we missed all those years ago. Does that make any sense?”

It made perfect sense. “Well, I’m not sure we would have been breaking our parents’ sinks.”

Tyler burst out laughing, then turned bright red. “Erm… Yes, well, I just got lost in the moment. It had been a while.”

I shook my head and nuzzled my crotch into hers. “Rosey, you can get lost in the moment anytime you want. All you have to do is ask and I’ll be there.”

Tyler raised her eyebrow. “Is that a promise?”

She was smiling, but I knew there was a hint of something unnerving under it. Was it doubt? Worry? Uncertainty? Hope? I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I’d be damned if I wanted her to look at me like that. I needed her to trust me again, and I was going to try my hardest to make that happen.

“Tyler, I would promise you the world if I could, but there is one thing you can never have any doubt about, and that is how I feel about you. I promise you with all my heart, soul, and body that I will be there for you as long as you’ll have me. Everything of mine is yours anyway.”

Tyler sighed with a resolute smile and nodded. “I believe you.” She grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it before leaning her cheek against it. I felt her soft skin against mine and just that little touch had my dick throbbing for her.
