She bit into her lip, peering into my face. I had forgotten how big her blue eyes were. They were alluring. “I’m sorry too. I know it was wrong of me to keep Adley away from you. She needs her father.”
I smiled. “Adley, huh?”
A small smile tugged at her lips. “Yeah. I named her after your grandmother.”
I pushed another strand aside before I cupped her cheek. “Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” My smile grew bigger. “She’s so beautiful. Just like you.”
Langley leaned into my hand, and an invisible hand squeezed my heart. This was all I had hoped for. Finally. After so many days…
“Do you forgive me? I won’t leave you ever again. I promise you, babe. I’m here to stay.”
Closing her eyes, she nodded, and everything in me imploded. “I forgive you, Brooks. I want you to stay too.”
I was overcome with joy, wishing I could shout to show the world how happy I was.
I placed my hands on her cheeks and planted kisses all over her face. “Thank you, Langley. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
I pressed my lips on hers and pulled her against me, craving her. After so much time, I was finally able to taste her, and it was dreamlike. Her body molded perfectly against mine, her hands tracing the muscles on my back.
“You have no idea how much I wanted to hold you like this,” I murmured into her mouth, lacing my fingers into her hair. I was hard as a rock. “I missed you so much, Langley.”
“Kiss me again,” she whispered and pressed her lips against mine.
I moaned and wrapped my arms around her, backing her to the nearest tree. We were both breathing heavily, both of us needing this more than anything.
“I need to have you right here and now,” I told her in a raspy voice, sliding my hands underneath her shirt. What aroused me even more was the fact that we were out in the open and anyone could see us. “It’s been too long.”
“Ah yes… Take me, Brooks.” She arched her back when my hands connected with her breasts, which weren’t covered by a bra, thankfully. Her nipples turned into two hard pebbles. I had to see them. I raised her shirt.
“Fuck. Always so beautiful.” I grazed one nipple with my thumb, eliciting a moan out of her. “I missed this. I missed how good you feel. How beautiful you look when I touch you like this.”
I slid my thumb over her other nub. She let out another moan. Perfect.
Taking one nipple into my mouth, I moved my hand down and underneath her skirt. Her undies were wet, and when I pushed my fingers inside the thin fabric I was rewarded with more juices.
“Did you miss this, huh?” I plunged one finger into her, too turned on by how tight she was. “Did you?”
“Yes!” she cried out, pushing her hips toward me. I started fingering her, holding her in place with the other hand.
She was a hot mess, writhing against the trunk as I brought her more pleasure. I couldn’t believe I was able to experience this after everything. I watched her face in fascination, carving this image deep into my mind, and I knew I was never going to forget this moment. She had no idea how much she was giving me right now by allowing me to make her mine again.
She orgasmed around my fingers, and I covered her mouth with mine to drown her loud moans. Unable to maintain my control any longer, I pulled her skirt up, pushed her panties aside, and freed my erection from my boxers and jeans.
“I’m going crazy for you,” I told her when I picked her up and pressed her against the tree. Her legs wound against my waist, her body pressing against mine in a silent invitation to claim her. I thrust into her, all the way in, calling her name through the greeted teeth.
Fuck me. She was so fucking tight and wet! I knew I wouldn’t last even seconds if I continued moving now, so I settled inside of her and stopped moving until I was sure I could handle it without cumming embarrassingly quickly.
“I can’t believe I finally got to be in you.”
Her hands on my shoulders gripped me, her eyes never leaving mine. “Even though I wanted to forget you, I couldn’t get you out of my head. I’ve fantasized about you too often.”
I grinned, pulling out slowly only to go back inside a moment later. “I’m so happy to hear this. Just like me. You haunted me in my dreams, babe. And then I’d wake up and the reality hit me full force. It sucked.”
She clenched her pussy around me, squeezing me tightly. Jesus, this felt amazing. “I hated thinking about you. I hated my body and how much I needed you inside of me. But I couldn’t help it.”
I began moving faster. “And now? Do you hate it now?”
Her face was twisted in ecstasy, her teeth biting into her lower lip—inviting me to bite her lip myself. “Absolutely not.”
Flashing a ravishing smile at her, I increased my pace again. “From now on, we’ll never separate again. You hear me? You’re mine, Langley. Only mine.”
I pounded into her with all my force, my control long gone. She was about to scream, but I slammed my lips against hers and held them there, silencing her loud moans. I was close, so close…
“Langley!” I growled into her lips and came hard, my dick pumping furiously inside of her.
“Only yours, Brooks,” she whispered in the end, and every piece of our broken past came into place at last.
Chapter Nineteen
Langley
I didn’t remember when the last time I felt this happy was. I had used to believe Brooks and I were over for so long, that this night felt like a dream. It felt like Brooks was an illusion that would disappear any moment.
“Are you for real?” I asked him before we headed back home, caressing his cheek.
My body was still warm from our love making, and my pussy wanted more. It was like I had been starving for years, and now I got to eat the most delicious meal, and it wasn’t enough. I needed more of him.
He covered my hand on his cheek with his and sent me a melting smile. “As real as what I feel for you. I love you.”
I was becoming emotional super fast. My eyes were teary as I smiled back at him, those three words rocking my world.
“I love you too. I never stopped loving you.”
He wrapped me in his arms again, pressing my head against his shoulder. “I was so afraid you’d moved on. And when I saw Adley, I was sure you’d married and completely forgotten about me.”
She snorted. “Nothing could be further from the truth. My colleagues even tried to set me up with several men, but I wasn’t interested. No one has ever made me feel what you’ve made me feel, which made the hurt you caused me even stronger.”
“I’m so sorry for everything. I was such a fool. I’ve let you down, and it’s something I’ll regret for the rest of my life.”
“No.” She pulled away and caught my hand. “I don’t want you to blame yourself. You’re here now and you want to be better, so that also counts. I believe we’ll be able to start anew, so don’t be hard on yourself.”
He didn’t reply right away, his intense gaze locked with mine. “You’re an angel. A real angel.”
Blushing, I kissed him on the cheek. “Let’s go home.” His lips stretched into a gigantic smile when I mentioned home. “Our daughter is waiting for us.”
I thanked Alisa for taking care of Adley and bid her goodbye before I called Adley to the living room so I could introduce Brooks to her. I sat her down on the couch.
“Honey, I have something important to tell you,” I told her, kneeling in front of her. Brooks was standing a few feet away, observing us. “You’ve asked me a few times about your father, and I’ve always told you that your father was away in the military.” Adley nodded. “I also told you I wasn’t sure he was coming home.” She nodded again.
I glanced at Brooks and saw him gazing tenderly at Adley.
“Well, sweetie, Brooks is your father.” I pointed at him, my heart pounding too hard.
I had imagined this moment before, but the reality was always different from imagination. I had hoped Adl
ey would accept her father even though she had never met him. I held onto the fact that she was very young and wouldn’t remember being without a father when she was older.
Adley formed a smile that was so like Brooks’s, her green eyes twinkling with joy. “He is my father?” She pointed her cute little finger at him.
“Yep. He is your father. He came back home just now.”
She was a picture of excitement and happiness. “Daddy!”
She squealed and darted toward him. I was never ever going to forget this moment. My world exploded with colors as I watched Adley rush into his arms, and I broke into happy tears.
“My little girl!” he cooed and picked her up. “Daddy is finally here.” He buried his head into her hair, closing his eyes, and my chest throbbed at the sight.
There was nothing more precious than this—seeing my daughter with the man I loved, seeing them united at last.
I had been ready to spend my life as a single mother, dedicated to making sure Adley didn’t miss anything, but nothing could beat having Brooks holding our daughter like this. And when I saw a tear sliding down his cheek as he held her, I was more than sure that this was how it was supposed to be. No doubts, or fears, or grudges. Just the three of us. A family.
I was beyond happy, ready to work things out with Brooks, and now, seeing them together, I was sure everything was going to be okay.
“I missed you, daddy,” Adley said, stroking Brooks’s cheek. Could I melt anymore than this?
He kissed her forehead. “I missed you too, cupcake. I love you so much.”
“Are you going to stay?” She looked between him and me, her eyebrows furrowed. “Please, stay. Don’t go away.”
I joined them, placing one hand on Brooks’s shoulder and the other on her back. “Brooks isn’t going anywhere.” I looked at him. “He’s here to stay, and from now on, we’ll be a family.”
“Yaay!” She clapped her hands together and pecked a kiss on Brooks’s cheek. “Daddy will stay! Daddy is amazing!”
I laughed at the stunned expression on Brooks’s face after Adley’s kiss, which made me understand how wrong I would be if I had kept Adley hidden from him any longer. He needed this. He needed his daughter.
“Adley, it’s getting late and you should be sleeping,” I told her, taking her from Brooks.
“But I want to stay with daddy!”
“Daddy isn’t going anywhere, honey. He’ll be here when you wake up in the morning and then we will spend a nice day together.” Brooks beamed at me. “Deal?”
Adley pouted, but in the end she agreed and let me put her to sleep. Brooks followed us. I was always reading bedtime stories to her, but this time I let Brooks do that instead, and I fell in love with him all over again. I observed him read Adley’s favorite story in a gentle voice, his hand caressing her hair, and tears spilled out of my eyes again.
I wished I had a camera to capture this moment.
Adley didn’t need much to fall asleep. “Let’s go downstairs,” I whispered to him and pulled him by his hand, relishing in the warmth of his skin.
I hadn’t even realized how much I missed his skin. Now that he was here, all I wanted was to touch him, get acquainted with his body again.
We went to the kitchen. “Are you hungry? I made dinner before you came.”
He trapped me against the counter, placing his hands on my sides as he leaned to my face. “I’m starving. For you.”
He didn’t need to say anything else. Our mouths connected, increasing the need in me. I explored his chest with my hands as his roamed over my ass, and it was all he needed to push me against the table and take me right there.
“I love you,” he said, entering me. “Never forget that.”
“Never.”
Pleasure overwhelmed us, and we escaped into oblivion.
Chapter Twenty
Brooks
A year later
I paced left and right in front of the dressing room in which my mom and Langley had spent the last couple of hours, keyed up.
The day of Langley and my wedding had finally come, and I was a bundle of nerves. We had decided to organize a wedding ceremony in the countryside, and we rented a ranch with a chapel for this occasion. Adley was overjoyed when she heard she would get to see horses. She was running around the place all day now, asking us to move to a place that was just like this ranch and have many horses. Maybe we could do that one day.
Langley and I had never felt happier than now. Soon after the day I met Adley, I moved into Langley’s place and opened an auto repair shop. My business started off on the right foot, so these days I was on the go, barely able to manage everything even with the extra help I had hired.
I was worried that Adley wouldn’t be able to accept me as her father that easily, since my arrival created a big change in her life, but we connected as if I’d never been gone, and each new day with her and Langley made me the happiest man alive.
As for Langley and me, we had been able to overcome our issues and grow stronger, learning how to communicate and understand each other better. We had managed to learn from our mistakes and we were doing our best to maintain a stable relationship.
My mother was thrilled when she heard the news of our reconciliation, and even more when we told her about Adley. Langley had been afraid of what mom’s reaction could be when we told her about Adley, but it went better than she had expected. Mom didn’t criticize or judge Langley for keeping Adley away from her. She wasn’t even angry. No, she accepted Adley and Langley with open arms, brimming with joy that she was able to meet her granddaughter, and I was grateful to her more than she would ever know.
“Hey, man,” Topher said, approaching me in the hallway. “Are you nervous?”
“Is the pope catholic?”
He exploded into laughter and patted my shoulder. “It’s going to be alright! You’ll survive this day!”
I grinned at him. He was my best man. Topher and I had stayed in contact after the military, and since Topher also had a passion for cars, he was helping me with my business as a manager of my store. I don’t know what I would do without him.
“How do I look?” I asked him, pointing at my outfit. I was wearing a black tuxedo with a black tie, and my hair was slicked back.
“Like she will strip all her clothes off right away and jump into bed with you.”
“Thanks. I need these ego-boosting words.”
“Seriously, man, chill. You look nice. And even if you didn’t, she would love you because that girl is head over heels for you. Anyone can see that.”
“If only we can find a girl for you too, you can finally settle as well.”
“Hey, I like my single life, thank you very much.”
I was about to answer him, but my mom came out of the dressing room, which meant Langley was ready. I smiled at her, happy with how good she looked. She never looked healthier or happier than now, having received a position of a regular teacher recently, and the self-satisfaction was showing on her.
“What are you doing here, Brooks?” she asked me, smiling back at me.
“I just wanted to check up on Langley.”
“Are you that impatient to see her?”
“You don’t even need to ask,” Topher responded instead of me. “He’s been pacing around here for an hour already.”
I hit him in the shoulder, slightly blushing. “That’s not true. You’re exaggerating.”
My mom burst into a fit of giggles, shaking her head. “I’m going to see if there is anything more to be done before the ceremony starts.”
“I’ll come with you,” Topher said, linking his arm through hers.
I waited for them to turn around the corner before I knocked on the door and entered the dressing room.
Langley was standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself in a gorgeous white wedding dress. It was fitted, and her arms and shoulders were covered with lace, which matched the hem of her dress. Her hair was placed in a bun, decor
ated with a white floral hairpiece on the side. She was the most beautiful girl.
“You look stunning,” I told her. “I’m falling in love with you all over again.”
“Brooks!” she swiveled, watching me lock the door behind me. “You know it’s bad luck for you to see me in my wedding dress before the ceremony!” She was smiling, her gaze roaming all my body. My dick was already fully erect.
“Do you think I care?” My voice was much deeper than usual, my eyes burning into her. I approached her without a word, never breaking our eye-contact. “You’re beautiful, Langley.”
She leaned into me when I pulled her against me, tilting her neck when my lips landed on the spot beneath her ear.
“Brooks…”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to go through the ceremony if I don’t have you right now,” I said huskily, my hands roaming over her back and butt.
“You know we don’t have much time…”
“We have enough time for this.” I traced her waist and breasts, making her breathing heavy and uneven. She was so sexy.
“Brooks.” I turned her around and pressed her against the wall, grinding myself against her ass. My cock was pulsating painfully in my boxers. I picked up her long dress and unzipped my pants.
“Don’t you want me? Don’t you want me to take you like this?” I knew very well how much she wanted me, but I needed to hear those words coming from her mouth.
“You know how much I want you. Too much.”
“This was one of my fantasies. To have you like this—in a wedding dress.”
She opened her mouth to answer me, but my hand had already found its way to her pussy, and she gasped. So soft and wet. So fucking hot. My fingers began stroking all the right spots.
“Mmm, warm and wet for me. Perfect.”
“That’s so good! Ah…”
“Take your dress and hold it in place.” She did as she had been told, moaning when I rubbed her faster. I clamped my other hand over her mouth and pushed my fingers into her, stretching her widely. Her walls squeezed me with full force and I could only imagine how good it would feel when they enclosed my dick.
