Found My Love [Learning to Love 3] (Siren Publishing Classic)

by Alison Mello

  Tears are welling in my eyes as I jump into his arms. “I love you so much, and I have no idea what I did to deserve you, but God am I glad you found me.”

  He chuckles as he rubs his hands up and down my back. “I love you, too, T, and I’m so glad that I make you happy. I was worried you would be upset that I did it for you.”

  I pull out of his hug and give him a kiss. “I’m trying to let go, and it’s getting easier. Just promise me that once my dad is healthy again we’ll talk about these decisions. I know you have her best interest at heart and I just want to be a part of it, too, but thank you so much for taking care of that.”

  “You’re welcome! Are you ready to head to bed? I want to make sweet love to my girl on her first night in our home!”

  I smile as he takes my hand and pulls me toward the room. He closes our door and locks it, never taking his eyes off me. The hunger and want in his eyes have me wet for him. He walks over to me slowly, places one hand on each side of my face, and starts kissing me. A soft and slow kiss, it tells me just how he feels about me. I slide my fingers through the loops on his jeans as I try to pull him even closer to me, but he barely budges.

  He smiles at me. “I love you, T.”

  I run my hand over his ass. “I love you, too, Chase.” He kisses me again and this time it is a bit rougher like he’s losing the control he was holding onto so tightly. I start yanking his shirt from his jeans and unbuttoning his pants while our lips are locked. Once I have his button undone I pull away panting so I can remove his shirt.

  I back away for a second and take him in. He’s really sexy, with his muscular, well-toned, smooth chest. I reach my hand out and glide it slowly over the front of his body down to his pants. I smile as I grab his erection through his jeans. While looking deep in his hazel eyes, I lick my lips slowly. “A snack maybe?” I say as I pull on the waist of his pants.

  I’m lowering his pants as I go down to my knees, and I look up through hooded eyes. I slowly lick up the length of his cock with just the tip of my tongue. He takes a quick sharp breath at the feel of me licking him like he’s my favorite Popsicle. I place just the tip of him in my mouth and suck the pre-cum off him.

  “T” is all he can manage as I place him deeper in my mouth and suck him hard as I slowly remove him from my mouth.

  “If you’re trying to be a tease, you’re being very successful,” he says with a hint of a smile.

  “Not teasing. I’m savoring,” I say just before I slide him back into my mouth slowly because I love the way he tastes.

  “You taste so good. I want to savor you,” I tell him before I take him deep in my throat.

  I start sucking him a bit harder, and I know I’m killing him with my slow, sensual assault, but I’m enjoying his massive cock deep in my throat. It’s time to give him some relief, so I start licking the bulging vein along his cock as I suck him as deep as I can. He’s so big that I wrap my fingers around his shaft and work him with my hand as I suck him hard with my mouth.

  “Yes, T. Oh God, that feels good,” he moans as he starts moving his hips.

  He’s fucking my mouth, and I love it. I want him to release for me so I can swallow him down. He’s getting close, and I know it. I try taking him a bit deeper as I massage him with my tongue. I have one hand on his balls and the other on his shaft.

  “I hope you’re ready,” he groans.

  I’m so ready, and just like that his warm, salty seed is exploding in my mouth, and I continue sucking until I swallow every last drop.

  “My God, T, that was amazing.”

  He picks me up off the floor and throws me on the bed playfully. I giggle as he climbs on the bed completely naked while I’m still fully dressed.

  “Someone is way overdressed for this party,” he says as he pulls me to a sitting position by my arms.

  He peels my shirt over my head, makes quick work of my bra, and tosses it to the floor. He gives me the sexiest grin before he lowers himself to take my breast in his mouth. He sucks my nipple hard, and I moan in response.

  “I’m going to kiss and savor every inch of this body,” he says in response to my moan.

  He pulls away from my breast, and he goes to the top of my head. He kisses my forehead, my nose, and my chin. I giggle at his silliness until he bites my earlobe, and I moan. He chuckles in my ear and starts kissing his way down my neck. He bites my collarbone and kisses my shoulder before he picks up my hand and kisses my palm.

  “Mmm, you smell like me, and I like you smelling like me.”

  He continues his kissing and nibbling down one side of my body all the way to my foot. I steal his words from him.

  “If you’re trying to be a tease you’re being successful.”

  He laughs as he kisses his way up the inside of my right leg. He gets to my pussy and simply kisses it before he starts to move down my left leg. I whine and he has mercy on me because after he kisses my other foot he places one hand on each leg and slowly glides each hand my leg until he reaches my hips. He kisses my neatly trimmed hair and spreads my folds with his tongue. At this point I’m wound so I tight I might combust at the next lick. He slides two fingers deep inside me and starts licking my clit. I instantly gyrate my hips, moving them with his hand.

  “My God, Chase, please don’t stop.”

  He removes his fingers but sticks his tongue in their place as he rubs his thumb over my clit. He presses a bit harder and massages it fast as he glides his tongue in and out of me, and it pushes me over the edge. I explode on his tongue, as he rolls his thumb over my clit, licking up every last drop of my release.

  He climbs back up my body like I’m his prey and kisses me hard. I can taste myself on him, and I like it. He breaks away and rolls me over. Grabbing my hips, he slides me down the bed so my ass is in the air before he slams his full length into me. I sink my teeth into the pillow so it’ll muffle my screams as he leaves himself buried deep inside me, trying to maintain control.

  “Give it to me, Chase.”

  He starts slamming into me hard and fast, and he doesn’t ease up until I’m about to explode. “Chase, please don’t stop.”

  He pulls out, pretending to misunderstand me. “Did you say stop?”

  “Chase, that isn’t funny. I said don’t stop.” I giggle.

  “Oh so you want this?” He slams into me again.

  “Oh my God, yes.”

  He continues his assault. This time he doesn’t stop until he feels my orgasm tear through me. I moan into the pillow as my pussy squeezes him and milks him for his release. We’re a sweaty, panting and a sticky mess.

  “Let’s shower, baby,” he says as he climbs off me and heads toward the bathroom.

  “Can we take a bath?” I shout to him, not wanting to move off the bed. He doesn’t answer me, but I hear the tub filling, so I get up and run to my man.

  Chapter 15

  “Mommy, I slept in my bed like a big girl all night!”

  I stretch and look at the clock. “Katie, it is only six thirty.” I smile at my pretty girl.

  “I couldn’t sleep anymore,” she says and then adds, “Hey, where’s Chase?”

  “Probably at the gym. Why don’t you come lie down with Mommy for a little bit, and then we’ll get up and have breakfast?”

  She climbs up on our huge king-size bed and snuggles up to me. We both doze back off, until Chase climbs on the bed, and I start to stir.

  “Look at my two favorite girls in bed snuggled up together.”

  I laugh. “She woke up at six thirty and asked where you were, so I told her you were probably at the gym.”

  He nods. “I was using my home gym in the basement. At least you got her back to sleep.”

  “What time is it?” I can’t move because of the way Katie is sleeping on me.

  “Almost seven thirty. We should wake her up so we can tell her about her surprise for today.”

  Katie stretches, and Chase reaches down to tickle her. She starts laughing and squirming in the bed
. It’s really funny until Katie tells Chase to tickle me. I start laughing and trying to fight him off, but he won’t listen, so I tell Katie, “Chase has a surprise for you.”

  She jumps between us. “Do you?”

  Chase looks at me. “Cheater!” He sticks his tongue out at me.

  Katie giggles. “Chase, what’s my surprise?”

  “Let’s head downstairs for breakfast, and I’ll tell you all about it.” He scoops Katie off the bed and heads toward the stairs.

  “Eww, you’re sweaty. Put me down,” she says as she squirms from his arms.

  He burst into laughter as he puts her down so she can walk.

  “I guess she only likes you clean, but personally I would take you either way.” I wink at him and climb out of bed.

  Katie is sitting on one of the stools at the snack bar when I get downstairs and Chase is pouring her a bowl of Cheerios, Katie’s breakfast of choice.

  “What have you been asking Mommy if you could do?” Chase asks her.

  I head to the coffeepot and start brewing a full pot. I can see she’s thinking about it.

  “Be a ballerina!” she shouts out, excited.

  Chase laughs. “How would you like to go to your first dance class today?”

  She starts bouncing in her seat. “Really?” she asks around a mouthful of food.

  “Katelyn Marie! Do not talk with food in your mouth!”

  She swallows her food. “Sorry, Mom!” She finishes her Cheerios, and I tell her to head to her room and make her bed.

  “I have never heard you call her that. I just assumed you named her Katie.”

  “She doesn’t often give me a reason to use her full name. My grandmother’s name was Katelyn, and my mom’s middle name and my middle name is Marie, so I combined them. Kyle wasn’t too happy about it, but I didn’t really care. Since he wasn’t at the hospital for her birth, he couldn’t fight me on it.”

  “He wasn’t there? I could never miss the birth of my child. I don’t care how mad I was at the mom. That’s still my baby. I don’t know how you feel about having another child, but I would never do that to you.”

  “I’m not against having more kids. My clock will start ticking soon, but I love you, and if you want to have a baby of your own we can talk about it. I know Katie would love being a big sister.”

  “I would like to tell everyone today that we are getting married and do something small in the backyard. What do you think about doing it while your dad is home from the hospital?”

  “I’ll have to check with my mom, but I’m pretty sure my dad only has one week off chemo. That means we would have to get married next weekend, so we could do it before he has his next treatment, which would be the week after.”

  “I’m okay with that. Are you?”

  I shrug. “I don’t see why not. The only people I care about being there are my parents, Katie, and our friends. Sadly I didn’t really have much of a life before I met our group of friends. My life was me and Katie so that’s all I need there.”

  “There’s nothing sad about you taking care of your daughter,” he says before kissing me. “We’ll work on it next week. I’ll hire a justice of the peace to come to the house and marry us and it’s your duty to find you and Katie a dress.”

  “We need a best man and maid of honor.”

  “I have my best man. Do you have your maid of honor?”

  “I’ll ask Abbey today.”

  “Good. I’ll ask my brother today.”

  “Mommy, I made my bed and got dressed!”

  “Good girl, sweet pea. I’ll put on some TV for you to watch while we get ready for your dance class.”

  Chase and I head upstairs to shower and get dressed because our friends will be here shortly after dance so we will not have a lot of time for changing. I confirm he has everything he needs to entertain our guests, and he assures me that he picked everything up this week while I was packing and moving.

  Once we are showered and ready, we grab Katie a light jacket and head out the door for her very first dance class. She’s bursting in the back seat talking about it the entire way there.

  We arrive at the dance school, and of course, I have paperwork I have to fill out so while I’m filling it out the dance teacher is helping Katie pick dance clothes that will fit her for us to purchase. I also have her pick a dance bag for her shoes. I hand the form back to the receptionist before I head into the girl’s room to help her change into her new leotard and tights. When she comes out, she’s so excited. She’s jumping and dancing all over the place. The dance teacher tells me she has ballet shoes I can purchase, but she’s out of tap shoes, so I’ll have to go to the local dance supply store up the street to buy her tap shoes.

  Katie heads into her class holding her dance teacher’s hand, and Chase and I have a seat in the waiting room, where there’s a one-sided mirror so we can watch but the kids can’t see us. I notice one of Katie’s little friends is in there, and they are excited to be dancing together.

  I hear “Theresa, is that you?” as I’m explaining to Chase who the little girl is, so I turn to see one of Kyle’s female friends. I can’t stand her. She’s trash and used to get Kyle to go out drinking with her all the time.

  “Oh hey, Shana.”

  She prances over. “No Kyle today?”

  I narrow my eyes at her. “Why would I be with Kyle? We haven’t been together for years. This is my fiancé Chase, and we signed Katie up for dance, not Kyle,” I say, full of disgust.

  “Kyle mentioned Katie wanted to dance, so I thought maybe you guys signed her up together.”

  I take a calming breath and start to turn my back to her so I can watch the class and mumble, “He would have to actually pick her up first.”

  We really enjoyed watching Katie take her first class. She was well behaved and did a really good job. Once class is over all the girls come running out. We tell Katie that we have to get going so we quickly put her coat on and head back home for our party.

  We get back to the house with an hour before our guests are scheduled to arrive. I run Katie upstairs and give her a quick shower because she is sweating from running around in dance class. While I do that Chase starts putting together a veggie platter in the kitchen. When I get back downstairs, the platter is made, and he’s marinating chicken kabobs. The doorbell rings and Katie shouts, “I’ll get it!”

  “Freeze!” I shout. “Do not open that door. You cannot see who it is so you do not answer.”

  I open the door and it is my mom and my dad walking with a walker. “Daddy! I can’t believe you’re here.”

  Chase gets to the door and helps him up the steps to the house. We get him comfortable in the living room with Katie, and they sit and watch TV together.

  A short time later the remainder of our friends have arrived, Michael and Sylvia, Abbey and Seth, Tracey and Sean, Sarah and Cole, and, of course, Mark and Ellen. Chase’s brother is last to arrive, and we go around the room giving introductions. Mason looks a lot like his brother, but Chase is a little taller and a little broader. They both keep their brown hair short and have the same hazel eyes. His wife, Audrey, is really sweet. She’s about five-five, with blonde hair, big blue eyes, and an amazing body for a woman who has delivered two girls. Raegan is six and is a cute blonde girl who looks just like her mama, and Grace is four and looks like her daddy, having his brown hair and hazel eyes. I tell the girls to go play in Katie’s room until dinner is ready and hand the remote to my dad so he can put something other than cartoons on.

  I sneak off for a quick conversation with my mom and let her know that we are doing a small, quick wedding next weekend so that my dad can give me away in the backyard. As soon as she agrees that he’ll be happy with that, I wink at Chase and we announce what is happening.

  Chase breaks out a bottle of champagne and pours a glass for everyone. As he passes the glasses around, I look to Abbey and say, “Do you have any plans next weekend, say, around this time?”

  She l
ooks at me, completely confused. “No, I don’t think so. Why?”

  Chase looks at Mason and says, “Bro, how about you?”

  Mason looks at his wife, and they both kind of shrug and say no.

  I look at Abbey. “Good. Will you be my matron of honor?”

  To Mason, Chase adds, “Will you be my best man?”

  They both are nodding as the room erupts into congrats and hugs and applause.

  “We would like for each of you to join us here in the yard for a small wedding ceremony,” I say. “As you can see, my dad is ill, and we want to be married before he has to have his next round of chemo because this next round is going to be a tough one. That leaves us with one weekend, and that is next weekend.” I shed a tear that I was trying to hold back.

  “He would like to see his baby girl married, and we want to make that happen.” My mom hugs me and hands me a tissue.

  I look outside and see it is a downpour. So much for grilling. I nod in the direction of the window.

  “It’s all good, T. I’ll take care of the food, and we’ll eat inside.”

  I sniff, trying to compose myself. The guys start talking about random stuff, and Abbey hugs me and thanks me for asking her to be a part of my day.

  “Are you busy tomorrow?” I ask her, figuring it is the easiest day for me to go shopping for a dress.

  “Hey, Seth,” she shouts, “do we have anything planned for tomorrow?”

  He just shakes his head.

  “I’m free, what’s up?”

  I smile. “Katie and I need dresses. Anyone who is free and is interested in joining is welcome to,” I say, looking at all of our friends.

  “I would love to join you,” Audrey says. “It’ll give me a chance to get to know my new sister-in-law.”

  I give her a huge smile. “That would be great. I have a sister, but we don’t really talk.”
