“Fuck me, Axel.”
With those three words, I unleashed the beast inside of him. He started thrusting harder, pulling almost all the way out before slamming back inside. My hands moved to his ass and I dug my nails in, urging him faster, harder.
My ex husband had been a terrible lover. I never came when we had sex. I would finish on my own after he fell asleep, usually thinking of Axel. We had been just kids when we lost our virginity together, but we had a pretty active and fun sex life. I would imagine it would only be that much better now that we were older.
I arched my back beneath him, meeting every thrust. He angled his hips just right, hitting the spot deep inside of me. I could feel the orgasm building deep in my belly.
“I’m going to cum, Axel. Cum with me.” He had propped himself up on his elbows, so we could look into each other's eyes while he fucked me.
“Cum for me, Harper.” Sweat was dripping down his forehead as he continued to move.
I couldn’t hold back anymore. My body tensed up and I threw my head back on the pillow in a silent scream before I tumbled over the edge of pleasure. An orgasm like never before washed over me. Axel wasn’t far behind me, swelling inside of me before thrusting one last time and cumming deep inside me with a shout.
He held me close as we each came down from our high.
“There, now you officially belong to me, Harper.” He kissed my temple and I smiled. There was no other place I would rather be.
Chapter 8 ~ Axel
Holy shit. Sex with Harper was even better than I remembered. Maybe because we were actual adults now and it really meant something. Not that it didn’t when we were in high school, but now that we’ve lived our lives a little, it took on a whole new meaning.
It wasn’t long before she drifted off to sleep in my arms. I wanted to wake her and do all the nasty things to her I didn’t have the patience for before but I would later. Instead, I held her as she slept, watching her.
She had a slight smile on her face as she slept and I liked to think I put it there. I was going to spend the rest of my life keeping a smile on her face. I couldn’t believe what a lucky man I was to have the love of my life back and naked in my bed next to me.
Eventually I had to get up to use the bathroom. I tried to slide out without waking her, but when I came back to bed from doing my business, she was sitting up in bed. The sight of her there in my bed almost made me want to cry. She had the sheet wrapped under her arms and her hair was a mess. She had a grin on her face and that ‘just fucked’ look on her face.
“Hey you,” I said softly and sat on the bed by her, leaning in for a kiss.
“Mmmm,” she wrapped her arms around my neck, letting the sheet fall away. She pressed herself against me, her nipples already hard peaks of desire.
She ended the kiss and I groaned in protest. “I’ll be back. It’s my turn for the bathroom.” I cupped her breasts with my hands and teased the taut peak with my thumbs, eliciting a moan from her lips. “I have to go, Axel. I’ll be back.”
She slipped out of my arms and got off the bed. I managed to smack her naked ass as she walked away, causing her to squeal and giggle.
I waited for her to come back and when she did, as soon as she got near the bed, I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me. “That was pretty amazing.”
She nodded in agreement. “It was. I definitely missed it.”
I stroked her arm. “Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but did you have a good sex life with your ex?”
She snorted and shook her head. “It was once a month, if that. And it was missionary with the lights off. I never orgasmed with him. If I wanted an orgasm, I had to do it myself.” He cheeks got a little red and she ducked her head in embarrassment. “Usually thinking about you.”
I groaned and closed my eyes. “That’s so hot.” I flipped her over onto the bed and began to kiss my way down her body. Soon I was between her legs, my lips, tongue and fingers bringing her to a couple of monstrous orgasms.
That led to more sex, but this time she was on top and the site of her riding my cock was sexier than hell. I let her use me until she came hard before turning her on her back so I could cum deep inside her. We hadn’t even talked about birth control but I didn’t care. The sooner she was knocked up with my kid, the better.
We were sitting at the kitchen counter, eating some grilled cheese sandwiches I had just made. Her stomach growled after the last time we had sex, so it was time to feed her. She would need her strength anyway for the long night I had planned.
As she sat there eating, I was overcome with emotion. I put my sandwich down and grabbed her hand. “Marry me. Let’s not mess around. We’re adults now and know what we want. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Harper.”
“I don’t know what to say, Axel.” She smiled and bit her bottom lip, her eyes filling with tears.
“Just say yes for fuck’s sake!” I turned on my stool and pulled her into my arms. “I love you. Marry me.”
“Yes!” She threw her arms around me and pressed her lips to mine. “Yes, Axel Schmidt, I’ll marry you.”
I growled and lifted her into my arms to go back to bed. This was definitely the best Christmas ever.
Epilogue
Harper
One year later ~ Christmas Day
“Babe, why aren’t you ready yet? If we don’t get up to Mom’s soon, she’s going to send one of my brothers down here to get us.” Axel called from outside the bathroom door.
I grabbed a tissue and wiped my mouth before throwing it into the toilet and flushing. I sighed and picked up the pregnancy test off the bathroom counter.
Two lines.
It was what we’d been waiting for - what we’d been hoping for. We never did anything to prevent having a child right away, but after months of it not happening, we were about to actually try - tracking my cycles and all of that.
Guess we didn’t have to. Axel was going to be so excited.
He knocked. “Are you okay?”
I opened the door slowly, holding up the home pregnancy test and a wearing a grin on my face. “Merry Christmas, Axel.”
“What?” He paused and looked back and forth between my face and the test. “Does that mean what I think it does?”
I nodded.
“And why you were in there yakking up a lung?”
I grimaced at his choice of words but it was a little bit what it felt like.
I nodded again.
He swept me up into his arms, lifting me up and carrying me into the living. “This is so exciting.” He sat down on a chair with me in his lap. “Do you feel okay? When do you go to the doctor?” He placed his hands on my stomach and I almost started crying. Axel was so kind and caring; he was going to make a great father.
I laughed and shook my head. “I literally just found out. I’ll have to call my doctor tomorrow since it’s Christmas. I feel okay mostly. Tired and nauseous. I thought I was sick until I didn’t get my period. I didn’t say anything in case it was nothing.”
He hugged me to him. “I love you, Harper. You gave me the best Christmas present last year when you came back to me, but this is a close second.” He kissed my lips.
“I love you too, Axel.” My words were breathless after our kiss. “We better get to your Mom’s though.”
He groaned. “You’re right. But thank you for another Christmas I’ll never forget.”
