Fireflies From Heaven

by Lauren, Rebecca

  “Remind me to thank Cora,” Reed said, rolling me over and catching a wrist in his hand. “You okay?” he asked suddenly, careful to keep his weight off of me.

  “The baby is fine, Reed,” I assured him, and then I reached for the rope but he pulled it out of my reach.

  “I don’t think so, sweetheart. I’m not the one that likes to be tied up.”

  I lifted a brow, smiling. “How do you that? You’ve never tied me up.”

  His lips curled upwards in a smile. “You’re pregnant.”

  “I’m not even showing yet.”

  “I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “Then don’t stop touching me. I hurt when you’re not touching me.”

  Wrapping the silky rope around both of my wrist he secured them to the slats on the headboard. He kissed the side of my neck and breasts before making a sensual trail down my lower body. I moaned when I felt his mouth between my legs. He licked and sucked me until I screamed his name as a powerful orgasm rocked my body. When I’d caught my breath after his pleasurable assault, Reed untied me and we made love.

  Afterwards, I rested my head against this chest and drew little circles over his heart while he stroked my back and pressed kisses into my hair.

  “I love you.”

  “I love you too, Reed.” I pressed my lips to his chest. “Amber came to see me today.”

  He glanced over at me. “What did she want?”

  “She apologized. If I was in her position, I’d have probably done anything to get you back too.”

  “No, you wouldn’t have,” Reed said, shaking his head. “Your heart is the size of Texas.”

  “I’m not perfect.” I looked at the painting I’d given Reed for Christmas, which hung on our bedroom wall. “I guess I’m still learning that I don’t have to be. My mom is helping me out, I think.”

  He followed my gaze and smiled. “That’s the best present anyone has ever given me.”

  “I’m glad you like it.”

  “I love it and I love you.”

  He dropped a kiss on my mouth and I trembled. I may not have seen fireworks when Reed kissed me, but I think I might have seen a million fireflies from heaven.

  Look for Isabelle and Cora’s stories coming soon!
