Circle of Deception 2

by Skye, M.

  She looked around her house and admired it. She had moved there about five months ago, and it was very spacious. She purchased a four bedroom two bath home, and saw it as a new start, a start away from reminders of her time with Sean. The old place held so many memories she wanted to forget, so she packed up and moved.

  It had only been pleasant for her in the new place, and it reminded her of the happy times she and Nathan shared. As much as she wanted Nathan in town, she wanted him closer, living in an apartment just wasn’t enough. To her, it would only make sense that they started their new commitment together, in the house that meant so much to her. “Nathan, this all sounds great, but I have one problem with your plan.”

  He turned to look into her eyes, and for the first time, she saw vulnerability in him. “Is something wrong? Am I moving too fast?”

  “Something is very wrong. I don’t want you to move into a place here. I want you to move into our place, move in with me, Nathan,” she smiled.

  Lifting her up, he swung her into the air, planting kisses from her lips down to her neck. “Baby, I would love to. I love you so much, Maddie.”

  “Nathan, I love you too.” She didn’t know where the courage came from, but suddenly nothing else mattered. They were together, and everything was falling into place. She had her man, and he was coming to stay for good this time. Nothing could bring down her high. As he swung her around, she lost herself in his embrace, finally feeling the perfection that had escaped her in the past. She was finally going to have her own version of intense love.

  Melia and Matt pulled into the long driveway at Meg and Alex’s and laughed when they saw Alex standing on the porch with Jordan in his kangaroo pouch carrier. He was walking him around talking to him while holding Allison’s hand. When they got out of the car, he ushered them back inside. “Meg doesn’t know you’re coming, and she would never let Jordan go if she did.”

  “Oh no, I don’t want to be in the middle of that storm she’s going to unleash on your ass when she finds her children gone,” Matt huffed.

  “You’ll be fine, I’ll take all the blame. Every single bit of it,” he mumbled. Matt smiled at him knowingly and stepped back out of the car. “What are you doing?”

  “Calm down, Captain Obvious. I have to get Jordan’s car seat, unless you want me to tie him to the roof.”

  “I would kill you, and Meg would make sure they never found your body,” he laughed. “Here take the bags, and take care of my children. It’s Jordan’s first night away from home and I have to get my mind right for this.” While Matt put their bags in the trunk, Alex bent down and kissed Allison and reluctantly passed Jordan to Melia. He knew they needed the time alone, but it was going to feel strange not having them there.

  Before they could drive off, Alex raced around to talk to Allison. “Hey, daddy’s big girl, you take care of your little brother, and be good for your aunt and uncle. If Jordan gets sad tonight, you give him one of your big sister kisses and make him all better. Can you do that for me?” Allison smiled and shook her head yes. “Good girl, now give me one of your princess kisses.”

  After he had said his goodbyes to the kids, he made his way back inside to check up on a sleeping Meg. She must have really been tired, because when he opened the room door, she didn’t even stir. He took this as an opportunity to go downstairs and prepare something special for them. With any luck, she would stay asleep long enough for him to finish, because she was certainly going to need her strength for what he had planned. They hadn’t been intimate since before Jordan was born, and he was in desperate need. They hadn’t gone this long without making love since before they got back together over a year ago.

  He knew the intimacy issues they were having were a result of the children. Partially because they had been sleeping in the bed with them off and on for the past two months, and also because of the changes Meg’s body had gone through after giving birth. He knew she was subconscious about how she thought she looked. Every time they would get close, she would clam up and blame it on the kids being in the house, but he knew she was nervous about her appearance. If only she knew how much it didn’t matter about any of that.

  She had gained a little weight, but he thought it only made her sexier. It was in all the right places, her hips and thighs. He had always been a breast man, and her breasts were definitely much fuller, as a result, of her breast-feeding. He had been dying to show her just how much he loved her new curvy figure, but she had been averting him, but not tonight. He had set the perfect trap, and she wasn’t getting away this time.

  While he slaved away to make them a special treat for the bed, he was startled to hear her walk up behind him. “Alex, are you in here? I can’t find the kids, did Marisol take them somewhere? I stopped in to check on Jordan in the nursery and he wasn’t there, and Alli isn’t in her room. We have to...”

  “Stop, baby,” he put his finger on her lips. “The kids are out for the night, and it’s just us.”

  “Where are they?” she asked angrily. “I can’t believe you sent our two month old child off without telling me. He could be crying, and Alli could need us... I mean anything could have happened!”

  “Actually,” he advanced on her. “He could be sleeping, and Alli could be playing with Cienna at Matt and Melia’s, like they were when I just called. And baby, we could be alone in this big house, and Marisol could have the night off. I know what you’ve been doing, but not tonight. I’m going to have you, and you’re going to like it, actually you’re going to love it.”

  “I haven’t been...” he pushed her against the counter and silenced her with a reckless kiss. She didn’t have on much, just a T-shirt and shorts, and he quickly rid her of that. Before she could respond, he had her pinned against the counter with his hands kneading her breasts. She moaned at the feel of his strong hands against her warm flesh. She missed this, she missed him.

  “Baby,” he slid down on his knees and slammed her against the counter while he wrapped her legs around his neck. “I’ve been waiting to feel you again, to make you moan, to feel you dive off that edge while I’m inside you. I can’t wait, I need you now.” He held her up as he inflicted his sweet torture on her neglected center. The feel of her was too intense, and with each stroke he felt himself burning from the inside out.

  As he continued, she wove her fingers through his golden hair and fisted. He felt her gyrations and took pride in his work. Positioning his hands on her thighs, he ran them up and down, showing her that he loved every bit of her new look. She quivered when he tilted his head over and kissed the inside of her thigh before going back to his task. As he continued to stroke her, he felt her climax approaching.

  Her release was a powerful combustion that burned deep within her sensitive walls. He was ready to provide her with another and slid her down to the floor. When he stood before her and stripped his clothes off slowly and provocatively, she admired his naked body, and his insides jumped with excitement. When he took the tray he had prepared and slid it next to her, she smiled and closed her eyes in anticipation. He had only dreamed of this kind of experience for their first time being back in the game.

  When she felt the cold chocolate drizzle over her body, she shivered. The sticky liquid sent chills through her, but what he did next, awakened every suppressed desire inside her. He had almost forgotten how good it was to be with her, but he was quickly reminded when his tongue met the flesh between her breasts. She found his head again and glided her fingers through his hair, gripping it ever so gently while he moved his mouth all over her. He explored her thoroughly not leaving on drop of the sweet liquid behind and not missing one inch of her sweet skin.

  As he moved down her body, he stopped just before reaching her center and spread her legs wide. Reaching over, he pulled a strawberry from the tray and slid it across her quivering center. When she shuddered, he pulled it to his lips and smiled. “My favorite fruit, with my favorite meal. I could feast on you all night, baby.”
He was about dip his head between her legs, when she reached down and pulled him up to her. He could tell things had gone far enough in the foreplay area as far as she was concerned, and he knew she wanted him inside her.

  He saw the burning need she had when he was pressed against her. He could feel her insides dripping against his erection, and he couldn’t hold back anymore. He took his hand and slid it through her hair, pulling gently as he pushed himself deep within her. She let out a loud whimper as her body got reacquainted with his full size.

  He started slowly to give her time to catch her breath, but as his excitement built, his strokes increased. His powerful strokes were sliding her across the hardwood floor, and he reached out to grab under her back. “Don’t run, baby, because I’m just going to chase you. You can handle me. You’re the only one who ever could.”

  He was sending them into their euphoric bliss, when he reached down to lift her. Before she could react, he had her against the counter again, only this time her back was against his chest. He wanted to catch her off guard and before she could fully decipher what was going on, he was back inside her.

  He planted her hands on the counter and spread her legs wide, gripping her hips tightly. As he thrust unrelentingly, she screamed his name. He moved himself steadily and lost himself in the rhythm. He was having her the best experience and when he moved his hands from her hips up to caress her breasts, she threw her head against his shoulder. When she straightened her form, he pulled her head back and kissed her until she faded below him, shouting out her climax.

  He hadn’t felt anything as powerful since before she had Jordan, and she was disoriented. When he lifted her and slipped her on the counter, he saw the shock on her face. He slid his hands under her arms and placed his palms on shoulders and lifted her into his arms. She tried to assume control of the situation, but he entered her again in one swift motion. When she wrapped her legs around him, he held her to him, forcing himself in and out. She tried to scream, but her voice was gone. She tried to pull him deeper, but her legs wouldn’t cooperate; all she could do was close her eyes and give in.

  She was floating in midair as he continued to take her higher and further with each movement. He was close to his powerful release and began to mumble incoherent words in her ear. When she grabbed him and pulled his lips to hers, he pushed her and himself into and orgasm with several deep thrusts. After their climax, he felt his legs giving out and them slipping, and the next thing he knew they were both on the floor.

  He held her close while trying to regulate his breathing and she climbed on top of him, laying her ear on his chest. Nothing felt better than her being in his arms this way. He was more relaxed than he had been in a long time, until she sat up suddenly.

  When he brushed his hand over her cheek, she let out a deep breath, speaking quietly. “I’m sorry. I know I haven’t been what you need lately. I’m just having a hard time adjusting to how much things have changed, but that’s no excuse for not taking care of you.”

  He stroked her back and drew in a deep breath. “You have nothing to apologize for. This parenting thing is new to us. There are going to be times where we have to sacrifice what we want in place of what they need. Tonight was about me showing you how much I still want you. I know you’ve been having a hard time believing that, but I have never found you sexier than I do now.”

  “I know you love me and I know the kids have to come first, but I sometimes feel like you don’t look at me the same way.”

  “I don’t.” She sighed and closed her eyes tightly to hide the tears she felt stinging them. “You’re my wife, the mother of my children, the only woman I will ever love this way. I don’t just look at you, I worship you. There will never be a person that walks this earth that I will want more than you. Without you, I wouldn’t have my beautiful son, and Allison wouldn’t have the mother she deserves. Don’t ever feel insecure, because in my eyes no one will ever be more beautiful.” She kissed his chest and relaxed against him. He felt like he had given her just the reassurance she needed. He knew she needed to hear that he still found her attractive and that he still desired her.

  “I love you, Alex.”

  “I love you, Meg, but I do have something else I want to say. I need you to agree to come to me when you feel this way. There shouldn’t be anything you can’t tell me.”

  She ran her hand down his chest and exhaled. “I get nervous when the kids aren’t where I can see them. Every time I think about Amanda being on the loose, I worry. I lay awake at night worrying about what could happen to them, and I like them sleeping with us because I know they are safe. I know it’s crazy, but I can’t help it.”

  “I know you’re scared, but you have to know that they are safe here. If she comes anywhere near here, she will be dealt with. If you want more security then I’ll get it, but we have to get our lives back. We can’t live every day in fear.”

  “I know, but...”

  “Baby, I want you to feel safe here. This is our home, and I don’t want you to worry about the kids tonight. This is all about you having time for yourself. You pour so much of your time into the kids, that you don’t have time for you. I’m going to take you upstairs and put you in the tub and then I’m going to scrub your body. You need to relax and I won’t accept anything less; tonight is the night you come first.”

  Meg sat up and kissed him gently before attempting to stand. When she felt her legs buckling underneath her, he jumped over to catch her. “You okay, Angel Face?”

  “I’m fine, baby, it’s just...” she paused and giggled, her face flushed with embarrassment.

  “What? What is it?”

  “Three orgasms back to back? It makes my legs go weak every time I think about it. You were really saving those up, huh?”

  “You have no idea. There was so much pressure to create a spectacular performance tonight. I have to be a good example for my boy. From here on out, I have to put it down like my life depends on it.”

  She laughed and slapped him on the chest. “He is too young for your sex talk. You keep my child out of our sex life.”

  “Hell, he is our sex life. How do you think he got here?”

  “I see I’m going to have to knock you out regarding Jordan.”

  He swung her up into his arms and walked toward the front. Once they were at the stairs, he chuckled and began his climb. She looked to him with confusion in her eyes, and he kissed her gently. Once in the room, he laid her down on the bed and headed toward the bathroom.

  “Alex, what’s so funny?” she called out.

  “You were worried that we would be a boring married couple with kids, but I don’t ever see that happening. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you.”

  “I know I won’t.”

  “I’ll be right back.” He went in the bathroom to get her bath started, and lit the candles surrounding the tub and put on soft music to create the right ambiance. By the time, he went back in to grab her, she had her eyes closed with her head resting on a pillow. She looked peaceful, and he felt bad about wanting to wake her. When he turned to go shut everything down, she called out to him.

  “Where are you going, handsome?”

  “I thought you were asleep, I wasn’t going to disturb you.”

  “I was just trying to rest up for round two.”

  “Round two?”

  “Yes, baby, round two is all about you. As much as I need this, so do you. We are a team, and I need to make you feel safe and cherished just like you did for me.”

  Alex grinned and walked over to pick her up. When he reached for her, she stood and then flew into his arms, wrapping her legs around him. He walked her into the bathroom and lowered her into the tub. As he picked up the sponge and drenched her body with the warm water below, he smoothed the hair back from her face and kissed her forehead. Alex knew tonight would be all for them, but he had to do something to soothe her fears. He knew they weren’t going to go away with just his reassuring words. It was time to tak
e action.

  Chapter Two

  “Mom, what are you doing? Where are you?” Aiden called out as he made his way through Alex’s house. She had called him and said it was important, but she was nowhere to be found. He had almost forgotten that she was staying over at Alex’s during the week sitting with Jordan. He was growing anxious because he was supposed to have been in the office over an hour ago. Thank goodness for Alex going in today. Alex had been working at home mostly, but now that Allison was back in school and Melissa was watching Jordan he had more time to go in.

  When he heard Jordan cooing, he walked around the corner, to find them sitting in a rocking chair in front of the TV. Melissa was clutching Jordan with her eyes shut. “Hey, big guy, it looks like you’re the one doing the babysitting.” He tried to lift Jordan out of her arms and she reached out, grabbing his wrist roughly, startling him. “Mom, it’s me. Did you forget you called me? I’ve been looking for you.” She sat up and looked at Jordan smiling and brushed her hand over his fat cheeks.

  “I remember, but I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I thought you would have called first. I was just resting my eyes. This one here keeps you going. That’s why I have this pouch on to keep him near me.”

  “I did call; several times. When you didn’t answer I got worried, but Mom, you can’t fall asleep with the baby. He is only two months old, anything could happen.”

  “Aiden this isn’t my first rodeo, he was completely fine. He was watching Diego, he loves that Diego. Did you hear him crying? No, he won’t because he and Granny have a deal. Thirty minutes of Diego for thirty minutes of rest.”

  Aiden laughed at her bribery. “You and Alex try to bargain with him like he really understands what you expect from him.”
