  Tessa woke as Collin stroked her face gently when they arrived at the airport hotel, ���Sorry ��� I fell asleep.���

  ���Don���t be sorry, you were tired. Let’s get in and get you to bed,��� Collin smiled and kissed her head.

  They entered their room, and he set the bags on the sofa. Tessa walked into the bathroom.

  Collin brought their toothbrushes and night clothes in and brushed his teeth.

  Tessa watched him as he carefully brushed each tooth and looked in the mirror inspecting his work. He rubbed the stubble on his face and took a deep breath and noticed her grinning in the mirror.

  ���Mrs. Abraham what is so amusing?��� he asked a bit self- consciously.

  Tessa turned his face to her and rubbed and stroked his face with the tips of her nails, ���I like this.���

  His eyes brightened, ���Really?���

  ���Really,��� she said and sat on the bathroom counter and pulled him towards her.

  She pulled his shirt over his head as he leaned forward so she could take it off him. She let it fall on the floor. She looked at his chest and skimmed her nails over the sparse hairs that lay across his chest and down his belly.

  ���I like this too,��� she licked her lips and swallowed trying to wet her dry mouth. She pushed him back gently and stood up, ���These are nice but need to go.���

  Tessa unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, and they fell to the ground. She pulled his boxers briefs down. She unsnapped her bra and looked up in his eyes as it fell to the ground.

  Collin started to reach for her, and she stepped back and shook her head no.

  He let out a deep breath and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

  Tessa walked towards him and uncrossed his arms and set them at his sides. She kissed his neck and worked her way to his collarbone. She stepped back and looked down at his growing erection and looked up. He was staring at her bare breast biting the corner of his lower lip as his nostrils flared slightly.

  Tessa cupped her breast lightly and tugged at her nipples, and he stepped towards her again.

  ���No,��� she whispered and continued lightly rubbing her nipples.

  ���Tessa,��� he growled.

  She walked towards him and kissed his chest holding his arms to his sides and slowly moved down. She lightly flicked her tongue across the tip, and his thick hard cock twitched. She looked up at him as his jaw clenched and he let out a soft deep groan.

  Tessa cupped her breasts again and lowered herself until she was at the right height to encase his erection between them and moved up and down.

  ���Tessa, fuck,��� he moaned and pulled her hair back so that he could watch.

  With each upward thrust, she sucked hard on his head, and he groaned.

  His hands took her breasts and he pushed them tightly around him, and his hips rocked into them as she sucked him. She cupped his sack and slowly, gently rolled them and caressed them. She felt them tighten and pull upward slightly.

  The first hot burst hit her lips, and he cursed. Tessa opened her mouth, and he let go of her breasts and grabbed the counter behind him. His teeth clenched together as he looked down and watched her milk him onto her chest, and when he was empty, she licked him clean as he rubbed his cum across her nipples.

  ���My God Tessa,��� he pulled her up to him.

  Tessa kissed his neck and giggled, ���We need a shower.���

  ���How about a bath?���

  He didn���t wait for an answer and quickly turned and started the bathwater. Tessa added oils and bubble bath. Collin pulled her pants and undies off, and he got in the bathtub.

  Tessa brushed her teeth and stepped in. Collin sat up, lifted her leg so that her foot rested on the edge of the tub. He grabbed her from the back, and she held herself with her hands on his shoulders as he buried his nose between her legs.

  He breathed in deeply as his fingers dug into her backside holding her snug against his face. He licked between her legs and she cried out his name. He sucked hard on her clit until it was almost too much to bear. Her knee began to buckle, and he held her still as he continued licking and sucking until she fell apart.

  ���You taste so good Tessa,��� he lifted her leg and set it in the water. He stood and turned her towards the wall and bent her at the waist.

  ���Hands on the wall,��� he instructed forcefully.

  ���I don���t think I can stand, Collin,��� she cried softly as he pushed his finger inside her.

  ���I got you.���

  He rubbed his wide head outside her opening and she moaned.

  ���Tessa,��� he groaned and continued as he fed himself into her slowly inch by inch until he was half in her.

  He pulled out and shoved two fingers into her and she cried out his name.

  He slowly entered her again, and she pushed back hard and yelled out. They met each other thrust for thrust until she felt another orgasm start and he felt her start to crumble.

  Collin held her against him and with one hand on the wall, continuously pounded into her.

  ���I love you Tessa,��� he repeatedly grunted until she felt him jerk inside her as he filled her full.

  He pulled her back and sat in the tub still inside her.

  ���I love you,��� Tessa said breathlessly.

  Collin kissed her neck and pushed her gently forward as he washed her back.

  ���Tessa turn around,��� he whispered against her neck.

  ���Uh- uh,��� she said softly.

  ���Let���s finish up our bath and get you into bed.���

  ���No, I don���t want to,��� she whispered.

  Collin laughed and he felt her body tense. ���What���s going on Tessa?��� he lifted her chin and looked down at her. She was trying not to cry. ���Tessa did I hurt you? God I am so sorry. I������ Collin was upset with himself.

  ���No, I just don���t want you to go,��� tears rolled down her cheek.

  ���Ok, I can try to figure something out, please don���t cry Tessa���.please,��� he started to pull her up.

  ���No!��� she snapped and held her hand against were there bodies still connected.

  Tessa started to laugh and cry.

  ���What can I do Tessa just tell me,��� he kissed her neck.

  Tessa laughed again, ���I���m being ridiculous! I want you in me, and I know you have to go and I���m going to miss you.���

  She laughed harder.

  ���Tessa?���

  She started to stand and moaned when she felt his cock leaving her.

  ���I have problems,��� she turned and hugged him burying her face into his neck.

  He held her tightly and lifted her chin and cocked his head to the side.

  ���I hope this doesn���t upset you and just, so you���re aware if you need me to stay I will figure it out. I don���t think that���s your problem though Tessa. Don���t get me wrong, making love to you, that connection with you is amazing, never in my life have I felt��� Tessa I can���t get enough of you in any way. It���s you, all of you, my God it���s insane. You need to remember that I���m not him. I cannot imagine��� Tessa I love you and I���ll never do anything to make you not trust that you are part of me, connected in body or otherwise. I will never, look at me Tessa, never hurt you. That is not an idle promise that���s the truth as much as I need air in my lungs; I need you in my heart always.���

  Tessa���s tears fell harder, and she hugged him tighter, ���I love you.���

  ���I know Tessa, I know that
,��� he held her until she started to fall asleep.

  ���Tessa, we need to get out of here,��� he lifted her chin and kissed her lips gently.

  Tessa let out a deep breath and stood up. He wrapped her in a towel, and they walked into the bedroom laid in bed and fell asleep entangled in each other.

  ���These are the safest vehicles on the market,��� he said pointing at the list. ���Keep in mind we are going to have a family, pick which one you would like.���

  ���I have the Jeep.���

  ���Tessa I think it���s time to retire that thing,��� he laughed. ���It���s just a car��� you still have your memories.���

  ���I don���t care, I want you to choose,��� she rubbed his hand.

  ���Are you okay? You seem��� distant,��� Collin asked.

  ���I���m tired that���s all,��� she smiled and kissed his hand, ���You choose, the only thing I want is Navy Blue like the Jeep and������

  ���All- wheel drive, that driveway is going to be a beast in the winter.���

  Tessa laughed, ���A beast, huh?���

  ���Why does that amuse you?���

  ���You, you growl,��� she giggled.

  ���I what?��� he laughed.

  ���You growl when well you know,��� she kissed his cheek and sat back.

  ���That���s your fault ��� beyond my control.���

  ���Did I embarrass you?���

  ���No. Your body responds nicely to that sound. Not embarrassed Tessa at all,��� he pulled into the dealership. ���We will however need to christen that vehicle you just��� fuck ��� you drive me mad,��� he growled.

  Tessa laughed, ���Like that.���

  Collin rubbed his hand across her chest and her nipples tightened at his touch, ���Like that.��� He squeezed her nipple and kissed her quickly and got out and walked around and opened her door.

  She glared at him and rolled her eyes.

  ���Did I embarrass you?��� he whispered.

  ���Yes!��� she snapped and walked away as he laughed

  Collin chose a blue Audi Q5 Premium SUV with all- wheel drive. An hour later his plane left after a tearful goodbye and Tessa drove home in her newly christened vehicle.

  CHAPTER FIFTEEN

  Tessa worked hard on the plans for the house. They texted back and forth all week. They spoke in the morning and before bed. She missed him terribly.

  Sunday after church she went to Jade���s for lunch.

  ���The first birthday I missed of yours Tessa, unacceptable,��� Jade hugged her.

  They ate lunch, and Tessa was showing her the slides of their honeymoon when Lucas walked in.

  ���Did you have a good time Tessa?��� he asked and she jumped.

  ���Yes,��� she said and turned it off.

  ���Don���t stop on my account, Jessie and I would love to see them,��� he said sarcastically.

  They walked in and sat down.

  ���I don���t think this is a good time for this Lucas,��� Jade said.

  ���It���s fine,��� Tessa said. ���Hello Jessie.���

  ���Hello Tessa, I���m sorry about the festival, I was drunk,��� she said sincerely.

  ���I accept your…��� she started.

  ���Apology, she accepts your apology,��� Lucas looked at her. ���So where did you go?���

  ���Hawaii, on Mauna Lani Bay.���

  They watched as the pictures flipped through. There was a picture of her lying on her back her hair tossed all over the place, and she was sleeping with a smile on her face. Lucas looked at her.

  ���You look happy,��� he was annoyed.

  ���I am,��� she walked out of the room.

  She called Collin, ���Hey ��� I miss you.���

  ���I miss you beautiful, what���s going on are you having fun with Jade?��� he asked.

  ���I am, listen Lucas and Jessie just walked in��� if you want me to leave, I will, but they are actually watching our honeymoon slideshow with Jade as we speak. And by the way you take pictures of me when I sleep?��� she laughed.

  ���Tessa go turn that off now,��� he said insistently.

  ���Okay ��� I���m sorry,��� she walked in the living room and saw pictures of her sunbathing at their private pool in nothing but her bottoms.

  She ran to the TV and shut it off.

  ���Collin,��� she snapped.

  ���Sorry beautiful,��� he laughed.

  ���You���re bad,��� she whispered.

  ���I trust you Tessa, but if he steps out if line���forget it Jades there right?��� he asked and laughed.

  ���Yes,��� she laughed, ���I���ll call you when I leave, I love you.���

  ���Wow, nice pictures,��� Jade laughed.

  ���I���m sorry I didn���t know,��� Tessa said and looked down.

  ���Where is your husband Tessa?��� Lucas asked. She looked at him, and he was clearly agitated, and he shook his head.

  ���He���s in Ecuador.���

  ���Oh, why?���

  ���On business.���

  ���So soon? How do you feel about that?���

  ���I miss him,��� she said and looked at him. ���But it���s alright.���

  ���Can I talk to you alone for a minute?���

  Tessa looked at Jessie, ���Are you alright with that?���

  ���Sure,��� Jessie said.

  They walked into the kitchen, ���Can we go upstairs for just a couple minutes?���

  ���No Lucas.���

  ���Then outside by the pool?���

  She followed him out and stood by the glass doors with her arms crossed in front of her body.

  ���Are you really going to stay with him?���

  ���Lucas, I love him. I married him, and I trust him completely,��� she said. ���I���m not doing this because I���m trying to hurt you or get over us. When I fell in love with him and said yes to his proposal, it had nothing to do with any hurt feelings or the desire to hurt you. I���m so sorry, but you have moved on and so have I. I want you to still be������ she stopped. ���Lucas are you hurting? Or am I wasting my breath, what do you need from me? Please tell me.���

  Her eyes started tearing up.

  ���Tessa don���t cry. I���m not sure how I feel, I kind of feel numb. I feel my heart will never be whole again. But if you���re happy, truly happy, and he doesn���t hurt you, and he takes care of you like I couldn���t, then��� I���m happy for you,��� he hugged her.

  ���Lucas, Thank you,��� she said and pulled away.

  ���Do you still love me?���

  ���Why do you need to know that Lucas?��� she looked down.

  ���Because through everything, regardless of how I acted or what I did to ruin us ��� I have always loved you, and I always will. Even though, you���re married and look happy I love you, anyway.���

  ���Oh Lucas, it breaks my heart still to feel like I can���t help you through this and not because of any other reason than I do love you. But it���s a different love than I feel for Collin; I don���t know how to explain it. I���m sorry.���

  ���So although I feel this way and even thoug
h I know I will never stop, it is possible to love more than one person?���

  ���In different ways, I guess. Like family, I would lie down and die for the people I love, and I would do anything for them. You���re part of that family of people I would do anything for and know would have my back. But I���m deeply in love with Collin, it���s something I���ve never felt before like he was put here for me and me for him,��� she looked down.

  ���Not to push here Tessa, but the only other man in your life that I was okay with was Toby. How do you think he would feel about that?���

  She laughed, ���He would be happy for me.���

  ���How do you know that?��� he asked.

  ���Collin served with him, and he was at the funeral. After everyone left that day and I sat sobbing at his grave, he was the man in uniform that appeared from the woods and handed me a tissue. And I think I told you that already, maybe you just don���t remember,��� she said and smiled.

  ���Tessa, it���s all jumbled together. This sucks, seeing you with someone else, and not like Toby or Ben, Tessa. It fucking hurts,��� she closed her eyes and then looked up at him, ���Well I guess I have nothing more. I want you to be happy Tessa. I now understand what you mean by you needing me to be okay.���

  ���You would really like him. I wouldn���t ever expect him to become your best friend or you to do that either, but you would really like him,��� she said.���Hey ��� how are you and Jessie, is she possibly the one?���

  He laughed, ���No ��� but she���s fine for now.���

  ���How are you going find the right person if you can���t be alone for any length of time?��� she asked

  ���Well, hello Pot meet Kettle,��� he said, and they both laughed, ���I���ll try Tessa. Just��� I love you. I know what I���ve done Tessa, but I need you to know that if you ever ��� fuck this sucks. I love you Baby. You were it for me,��� Tessa started to talk and he shook his head no, ���I don���t want to talk about it anymore, alright? I just need you to know that and I need to believe that if things didn���t work out with him��� I would stop at nothing to make sure you knew my love for you is eternal.��� He hugged Tessa and she hugged him, ���Friends, Baby?���
