“The girls don’t like burgers.” Brad chimes in. “They prefer chicken nuggets.”
“Hold up on the food Nathan, Natalie what do you mean a charity event?”
“Each year I host a charity event and silent auction to kick-off the winter and holiday seasons for the foster children of New York. I try to raise money so the foster system can give coats, jackets, and toys. Many of the foster families can’t really afford to put out the extra money for the kids they take in. Some of them don’t get warm jackets, and others have never had a Christmas. I like hosting the event so I can get the high rollers of New York involved. Some of the kids attend for a while at the beginning so our guests can see what their money is being spent on. Some of the older foster kids even speak at the benefit and let their stories be told.”
“But I have the girls.”
“I’ll watch them, Street, don’t worry.”
“Oh no, the girls need to come. It’s for the kids anyway. They are more than welcome to attend. Please, I want them there.”
“Alrighty then, since that’s taken care of. We will see you at the house this weekend Natalie. Now, chicken nuggets then. White meat or dark, Brad?”
“They’re kids Nathan, that doesn’t matter.”
“But chicken nuggets over burgers does?”
“I’m just telling you what my daughters like.”
“Okay, okay you two, Jesus. Enough with the bickering. Nathan, please order the girls whatever you want them to eat. I’m sure they will enjoy anything. Brad, I’ll see you later.”
“I’m not leaving here without saying bye to the girls.”
“No one is asking you to.”
“Come on Brad. I want to say goodbye, too.”
Natalie pushes him towards the playroom. Her hands firmly on his lower back. I can’t help but notice they seem a bit friendlier since the hospital. I look at Nathan, who is watching the two leave the room with his lips set in a thin, hard line. Once they are out of earshot Nathan turns to me. “Will it always be like this?” Nathan asks.
“I’m sure it won’t be. Brad is just adjusting to everything.”
“I hope so. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life arguing with that man.”
Nathan leaves me on the couch while he orders dinner for us. I take in my surroundings and try to get used to the fact that I’m now living on Columbus, in a penthouse and no longer in the home my father purchased for me. In a matter of days, my life has completely changed, and I am truly welcoming everything. I know the girls love both their rooms. They couldn’t contain their excitement when they walked in their bedroom. Natalie did a terrific job with everything. It warms my heart that Nathan would think to do something like that. It’s just proof that Nathan not only wants me in his life, but my girls too. He has made it, so they feel welcome; so they feel loved.
The night was busy with them feasting on chicken nuggets, watching cartoons on the biggest television I’ve ever seen, and then taking a bath in a huge Jacuzzi tub. Addie didn’t get enjoy the water like Amanda did, but in time she will.
Everything in here is high end. My home is wonderful, but my father knew me, and he knew that I wasn’t a flashy type of person. I didn’t need all the bells and whistles. I just wanted things to be warm and welcoming...but the whistles are nice too. Nathan even made it, so all the girls had to do was clap twice, and the overhead chandeliers dimmed into night lights for them. They thought that was a hoot. It only took them about fifteen minutes before their palms were red and sore, then when they decided they had had enough, and it was time for bed. Nathan didn’t interfere too much with our routine. He stood back and watched as I did everything for them. He disappeared completely when was bath time, which I thought was cute. When teeth were brushed, and their beds pulled down he was there again watching.
“So, are you ready for the tour yet?” Nathan asks after I close the door to the girls bedroom.
“Okay, but can I pick where we start?”
“Of course, where do you want to start?”
“The bedroom.” I give him a wink. He throws his head back and laughs.
“Alright Mrs. Whitmore, excuse me, I mean Mrs. Richards-Whitmore, right this way.” He takes my hand and leads me past the girls bedroom, past the playroom and then past two other doors before stopping at the end of the hall. “Now, I have to admit, it may be a little manly, but hey what can I say, I’m a man. We can add whatever colors you want to, or we can completely redo the room. Hell, we can redo the entire house if you want because baby,” he pulls me to him, “now that I’ve got you home. You aren’t going anywhere.”
He steps and opens the double doors. The lights come on automatically which I thought was really cool. The room is masculine, beautiful really, very sexy. Dark wooden floors, gray walls, and stark white moldings bring a crisp, clean feeling to the room. A black four poster king size bed sits on top of cream and black swirled rug. The bedding of cream with hints of black softens the hardness of the blackened wood. Each piece of the black furniture is unique in its own right. Each with its own shape and design, no two pieces are alike. Off to the side is a sitting room with more unique cream furniture. Some pieces look old while other have more of a modern feel to them. “Wow Nathan, I’m impressed. This is hot.”
“Hot?”
“Yeah, hot, sexy. It’s totally you.”
“But is it you?”
“Whatever is you, is me too, Lovey.”
I look over my shoulder, giving him a wink while I head over to what looks like the closet. Christ, it can be another damn room. The closet is huge. There is a plush rug spread wide in the middle of the space with an accessory dresser sitting on top. Nathan has several watches and cufflinks sitting in velvet trays. All of his clothes are hung behind glass doors. Each compartment lighted for better viewing. There is no way I would ever be able to fill even my half of the closet. I scan the rest of the closet, “Wait a minute.”
“What?”
“How are all my clothes hanging already? I packed them in the trunk this morning.”
“I had help when we were at the hospital. I didn’t want you to have to do anything when you got home.”
The thought of this being my home made my heart warm. The feelings had nothing to do with the extravagance of the house in which I was currently standing in; it had everything to do with the man standing before me. “Home, huh?” I walk to Nathan and slowly rub my hands over his sculpted abs up to his muscular pecs placing them around his neck. “Hmmm, I like the sound of that.”
“Do you, now?” He said this a smirk.
“Yes, would you like me to show you how much I like the idea, Nathan?”
“Now?” I nod.
Taking his hand, I slowly walk over to the bed. I’m trying to be seductive, even in my capris and a baggy shirt. I sway my hips from side to side. Leaving him standing at the foot of the bed, I slowly undress myself. I toe off my flats and remove my jeans. “Laney?” He looks a bit freaked out.
“Yes.” I take my shirt over my head standing there in my teal bra and panty set. I may be a mother of two, but I love to wear my sexy things under clothes that might not always be so sexy.
“Um, the girls.”
“What about them?” I take off my bra and allow it to drop to the floor.
“They may still be awake.”
“And?” I slowly push down my panties, all the while Nathan is frozen in place.
“What if they aren’t asleep? What if they come in?”
“Then lock the door, Nathan. That’s what parents do. Now are you going to let me stand here naked or are you going to do something about it?”
“What if you’re too loud and they think I’m hurting you?”
“Jesus, then turn on some music to drown out the noise.”
“What if that wakes them up?”
“For the love of God Nathan, are you going to fuck me or am I going to have to take care of myself?”
That did the trick. Within second
s, the door is locked music is playing, and I’m being thrown on the bed. He sprinkles tiny kisses along my body as undresses himself. Boy, he can sure multitask. “Now, that’s much better. Don’t you think, Lovey?” He crushes his lips to mine, devouring my mouth. I slide my hands on his naked backside while he sucks on my neck. “You have the most perfect ass, Nathan,” I say as I break the kiss.
“Is that so?” He pushes my legs open further with his knee, kneading my breasts. “You have the most perfect tits, Laney. I love how much they pebble for me.” He rubs his thumbs over them then sucking gently at first, increasing pressure while he bites down. The shock goes straight to my g-spot, and I feel my pussy clench.
“Fuck me.” I moan, running my hands through his hair.
“Planning on it, love.” I can feel his hands travel down my body sinking his fingers in between my legs. “Fuck, Laney. You’re always so wet and ready for me. I love how much I turn you on, baby.”
He’s right too, I’m so turned on I can’t even take the foreplay anymore. I just want to feel him. I buck my hips allowing him easier access. He stops the assaults with both his finger and his mouth and looks down on me. “Is someone a little impatient tonight?”
“Come on Nathan, please. I need you. Your wife is begging you to fuck her so get on with it. Let me feel your cock.”
He chuckles and give me a quick kiss. I feel his fingers enter me again, diving deeper than what they were before. “Let’s get one thing, clear baby,” he thrusts his fingers in again, “I may do you rough and I may do you hard,” fingers again, damn “there may even be times when I do you fast,” fingers again, oh god, my orgasm builds, “but it will never be fucking between us, Laney.” He pushes again pressing his thumb into my clit. “I will always make love to you. Got it?” His fingers thrust again, rougher this time, hitting my g-spot sending me over the edge into oblivion.
“Fuck, yes, yes I get it.” My breath is short, gasping as I ride out my climax. Arching my back, I welcome it as it rolls through my body.
There is nothing sexier than watching Laney arch her back with her eyes closed, body shaking because of the orgasm I’ve just given her. I sit back on my heels and grab her thighs bringing her to me. I’m not going to waste the opportunity. I want to be inside her before she comes down from her cloud of ecstasy. Sliding my cock into her wet and waiting cunt is like nothing I’ve ever felt. “Nathan, baby.” She moans
“That’s right, love. Call my name out.”
“Nathan,” she whispers
“No one makes you feel this way do they, Laney?”
“No.”
“Are you mine, love? Are you my wife?”
“Yes, yes Nathan, I’m yours.”
She is perfect, she feels like heaven. On my knees, I’m pounding into her. Her breasts bounce with every thrust. She grabs onto the sheets, the pillows, just about everything she can get her hands on. I stroke my cock in and out. She feels like warm satin against my dick. I press my fingers deeper into her thighs pulling her into me and pushing her away just enough before I slam her back into me. I dive so deep within her I can’t get any further. “Wrap your legs around me baby.” As she does, I grab her hand and pull her to me. When I sit back down on my heels, she moans out.
“Nathan, Christ you’re so deep now.” I continue to buck against her as she rotates her hips.
“Laney, you feel so damn good.” I crush my lips to her seeking out her tongue. I keep my arms around her lower back making sure there isn’t a space between us.
“Nathan...keep...doing...that.” Her head falls back allowing me better access to her tits. I continue to thrust into her as I capture her nipple in my mouth. Fuck I love her tits. I’m definitely a tit man. “Nathan.”
“Let go, baby, feel me, feel my cock rubbing you, feel it.”
“Yes.”
I know she’s close. I can feel her tightening around me. I move my lips to her neck, biting and sucking, kissing. She cries out as her climax takes her away. I continue to pound into her. “Please.” She begs, but I don’t listen, my climax is coming. I can feel it crawl up my spine. I can feel the chills roll through my body, so I continue pounding.
“Fuck Laney, fuck.” I pound until I see stars, until I hear the rush of blood through my ears, until my body jerks again and again, until I explode.
*********
I leave Laney as she sleeps in our bed. She’s on her stomach snuggling up to her pillow. The reddened waves of hair fanned out. She is perfection. Every ounce of her is what I’ve always wanted; always what I didn’t think I could ever have.
Quietly, I open the door to the room and sneak back down to the girl’s bedroom. Knowing that they are in the room asleep brings a feeling of contentment over me. It doesn’t seem strange that I now have two, four-year-olds asleep in my house; they just make it seem like a home.
Opening the door, I peek in. Walking slowly over to their beds, I see Amanda first as she’s sprawled out, her head is now at the foot of the bed. How is that even possible? “She always does that. Mommy says she must fight off a hundred bad guys in her sleep because she always sleeps crazy.”
I walk over to Addie and kneel down. “Hey, why aren’t you asleep?”
She scoots over allowing me to sit next to her. “I just can’t sleep.”
“Are you in pain? Do you want me to get you something for your pain?
“No, I’m okay. I’m just laying here, and my eyes aren’t sleepy yet.”
“Do you think it’s because you’re in a new place?’
“Maybe.” Her voice is soft.
“Are you okay with you, Amanda, and mommy living here?”
She nods her head. “It’s neat here. And it’s way high up in the air too. All those people down there look so tiny.”
I laugh, “Yes they do. You know Addie if you ever need anything you can always ask me, okay? I put my arm around her shoulder bringing her closer letting her snuggle up next to me.
“Okay. I like it here Nathan. You are so nice. Auntie Nat was so nice for doing up the room like it is. It’s like a big girl room. It’s so pretty.”
“I’m glad you like it baby girl. I will try to always make sure you have anything you may want or need.” I feel her head nod again. “Are your eyes getting sleepy yet?”
“Yeah.” She yawns.
“Hey, whys yous in Bug’s bed wif out me?” Amanda is sitting up in her bed.
“Come on, Bear, come over here and join us,” I tell Amanda, motioning her over. “Be careful of your sister’s leg though.” Addie scoots over to the edge a little more as I shift to the middle. Amanda jumps on the bed and immediately throws her arm around my waist snuggling into my side.
“Thanks yous Nafin.”
“What are you thanking me for?”
“For finding our momma, silly.”
“Oh, well, then you are very welcome. I’m glad I found her, too.”
“So what should I expect from this event tonight?”
I’m standing in our closet completely dressed and ready. While I was out this week taking care of some errands and checking on my house, I ran into a boutique and picked out the dress I’m currently wearing. It’s full length bright red with the hem just hitting the floor. The front dips between my breasts and there are gold chunky pieces of metal that wrap my waist. It’s fun and beautiful at the same time. I decided to wear my hair in an up do so it doesn’t get a chance to cover the major cleavage that I’m rocking tonight.
“It’s just your typical charity event. There will be drinks, dinner, schmoozing, and ass kissing. Probably everything that you don’t like. But don’t worry,” Nathan walks into the room, “Holy Christ Laney, you look gorgeous.”
“I clean up well, huh?” I wink.
“There was never a doubt in my mind. Wait though, I think I have something that will look awesome on you.”
He walks out of the bedroom. I can hear him down the hall as he tells the girls they look like real life princesses. I just
pray they still look that way by the time we leave. I have instructed them no more eating because nine times out of ten one of them spills and that means a wardrobe change. Wardrobe changes are not an option since I only bought them each one dress for tonight. They do look adorable though. They are both wearing long dresses with empire waists that fall straight down. Amanda’s is cream while Adele’s is a dusty rose color. I put Amanda’s hair in a slicked tight bun and Addie’s short bob is tucked neatly behind her ears. Natalie came by yesterday and bedazzled Addie’s crutches with rhinestones. Natalie told her that every lady, young or old always needs to have a little sparkle in their lives. After Amanda had seen the flashy crutches, Natalie had to bedazzle the rump of Amanda’s favorite pony.
“Here.” Nathan comes back into the closet holding a long gold necklace. The end of it is adorned with diamonds and a tassel made of the same gold design as the actual necklace. The gold is brighter than today’s gold; there is a different shine to it, so I know it’s vintage.
“That’s beautiful, Nathan.”
“Let me put it on you. I would like for you to wear it tonight.”
“No, I couldn’t. It looks too old.”
“Well, it was belonged to my great-grandmother. It’s extremely old. But I thought it would look nice with your neckline. The tassel will probably lay perfectly between your breasts.”
“Will it now?”
“Here, turn around.” I turn about while he clasps the necklace around my neck. “See.” He rubs my upper arms as we both stare into the full-length mirror. “It looks perfect.”
“Thank you. I’ll make sure to give it back to you at the end of the night.”
“No need, it’s yours. I want you to have it, and then when the girls get older we can decide which one gets it. I have plenty others so don’t worry about one of them being left out.” He kisses the side of my head.
“Nathan, your sister should have things like this, not me and not my girls.”
“Do you actually think that Natalie doesn’t have every piece of jewelry that she wanted? That was one of the first things that I did after my mother passed. I made sure Natalie got everything she wanted. But she also hoped that one day I’d have a wife of my own and my own children to which I could pass these things down. She had some of our grandfather’s pieces as well but made sure I got enough to spread throughout the family as it grows. “
