Finding Divine (32 page)

“Bigger than this? This thing is huge! It must have cost the Earth.”

“Actually, it’s a gift from my father. His grandfather gave it to his wife, who gave it to my grandfather who gave it to my grandmother who gave it to my father. You get the picture.”

“This makes it even more special. I’ll always cherish it.”

He took the ring from her trembling fingers and slipped it on her left ring finger. “A perfect fit.”

“It’s almost like it was meant for me.” She held up the ring in the light, her expression full of awe.

Simon winked at her. “Funny how that works out, huh?” The truth was he’d had the ring resized just for her. On his last visit, he’d gone through her jewelry box to find out her ring size.

“I love it. And I love you.” She threw her arms around him and pressed her lips against his. “I don’t know what I could give you in return to equal this.”

Simon couldn’t remember a time when he’d been happier. “Your love is payment enough.”

A mischievous twinkled entered her eyes, and she ran her finger along the center of his chest. “Oh, I can think of another way.”

Simon threw back his head and laughed. “It seems you have a one-track mind tonight.”

“Only when it’s something I want very badly. And I do want you. Right now. Please make love to me, Simon.”

He kissed her nose. “Well, since you asked so nicely.” Simon stood up and held his hand out to her.

Jessica gave him a shy smile. God, he loved this woman.

When she stood up, Simon lifted her into his arms and took long purposeful strides toward the bedroom.  Once inside, he took great care to lay her down in the center of the bed with as much gentleness as possible.

His eyes never leaving hers, he slowly removed his clothes.

When Jessica sat up to disrobe, he held his hand out. “Don’t. I want to do that.”

“Then let me undress you.”

“No, because if you do, I won’t be able to control myself.”

She pouted. “Why do you get to have all the fun?”

Simon wiggled his eyebrows at her. “Don’t worry, baby. I’ll make sure this is as pleasurable for you as it is for me.”

“Then hurry. I need you.”

She didn’t have to tell him twice. After discarding his last article of clothing, he slid next to her.

Jessica touched his aching erection causing a shiver to race up his spine.

“Dear God, Jessica, when you touch me like that, I can’t think straight.”

“Good, now you know how I feel.” In a swift movement that took him by surprise, Jessica straddled him and pinned his shoulders to the bed. “I decided I would have to take matters into my own hands, if I’m ever going to get my way.” Leaning over, she pressed a kiss where his neck and shoulder met.

“Hmm, I like how you take charge. You can do it to me anytime.”

“Oh yeah? What do you think of this?” Jessica ran her tongue along his collarbone. The she slid lower until her breath brushed one nipple. She circled and laved the flat disk into a pebbled peak.

Simon lifted his hips, grinding his erection into the junction of her thighs. “Want you,” he whispered, going out of his mind with the heady sensations flowing through his being. And it was all because of her. He couldn’t get enough.

Jessica didn’t speak, as she turned her attention to his other hardened tip. He enjoyed sucking and licking Jessica’s nipples, but he’d never realized how sensitive his own were, until now.

He cupped her head on either side, holding it against his chest, reveling in the wondrous pleasures soaring within him. The love he felt for her only intensified the pleasure of the moment.

Jessica apparently wasn’t content with a little nipple play because she moved farther down his body. “I want to taste you—all of you,” she whispered against his heated flesh.

Simon grabbed her shoulders. “No. You don’t have to.”

She lifted her head to meet his eyes, giving him an imploring look. “Don’t stop me, Simon. I want this. I’ve thought of nothing else but making you feel good, since you held me in your arms.”

Simon couldn’t stop her if he wanted to. The very thought of her taking him into her mouth was enough to make him burn. He wanted this too.

Jessica wrapped her fingers around his turgid member and dipped her head just low enough to touch it with her lips. She slid her tongue round the head, taking her taste as though savoring the taste and texture of it.

He tried desperately to remain still but found it impossible when she did that to him. Simon groaned his desire. “That feels so good, baby.”

“And I’m going to make you feel even better, stud.”

She opened her mouth, and slid her lips over his dick, taking him inch by torturous inch, deeper and deeper.

Simon threaded his fingers into her hair, holding her head, guiding it over his hard length. He couldn’t remember a time when he’d been this turned on. Though they’d made love before, each time it just got better. To know this was the woman he would be with for the rest of his life only heightened the sensation.

Jessica slid her mouth up and down his shaft, each time taking him deeper as if she intended to swallow him whole.

Simon bucked his hips, thrusting uncontrollably. His balls throbbed, and cock grew harder still. Simon, close to reaching his peak, tightened his grip on her head and pulled it away from him.

Jessica shot him a questioning look. “Didn’t you like it?”

“Sweetheart, I love it, but I’m going to explode any minute now. You don’t have to—”

“I want to. Please, let me. It would make me happy to do this for you.”

Just when he thought he couldn’t love her more, Simon surprised himself. Jessica’s unselfish love made him wonder what he’d done to deserve someone as wonderful as her. “Only if this is what you want and not just because you think this is what I want.”

“I do. Stop arguing and just enjoy.” She took his member into her mouth once more, the pressure of her lips gliding along his shaft, took him to his peak in record time. 

He stiffened before a powerful shudder rocked his entire body. Clutching her head, he thrust deeper into her mouth. “Oh God, Jessica. I’m coming!”

She increased the pressure of her mouth over his cock, and cupped his balls in her palm.

Her very touch sent him over the edge. Unable to hold back any longer, he shot his seed into her mouth.

She drank his essence, not stopping until he finished. Finally, Jessica lifted her head, her lips tilted upward. “Did you like that?”

“Loved it. Come here.” He pulled her up the length of his body and gave her a kiss. His tongue shot out to meet hers. He could taste himself. There was something touching about sharing such an intimate thing with the woman he loved. “I love you so much, Jessica.”

She caressed the side of his face. “I love you too, Simon.”

He rolled on top of her. “Now it’s my turn and I get to have my way with your delectable body.”

“I’m all yours.”

“Damn right you are,” he growled, unbuttoning her blouse. With each inch of skin he exposed to his hungry gaze, he planted a kiss against it. “Mmm, you’re delicious.” He pulled her shirt aside and reached around her to unclasp her bra before tossing the items aside.

Simon wanted her completely naked beneath him before he went any further. The feeling of her soft skin pressed against his was like nothing else. He pulled off her jeans and panties in record time, not bothering with finesse.

Jessica laughed. “You’re in a hurry, I see.”

He smiled wolfishly. “In a hurry to have you naked, but I’m going to take my time getting reacquainted with your lovely body—especially these breasts.” He cupped them in each hand, his thumbs rubbing her nipples to tight, hard tips.

Jessica inhaled deeply. “Simon,” she moaned.

“And your belly.” He placed butterfly kisses over her stomach. He ran his fingers along each stretch mark with reverence. Their children had rested in there, and he couldn’t think of one woman closer to perfection than this one.

Simon went lower still. “And this pussy—my pussy. Spread your legs wider, sweetheart. I want to taste you.” He nudged her legs, eager to sample every bit of her.

Jessica obeyed with a sigh; she dug her fingers in his hair, guiding his head to her core.

It was gratifying to know how much he turned her on. The scent of her arousal filled his nostrils. She was ready for him. Gently he parted her slick folds. “You’re so wet,” he muttered, before pressing a long deep kiss against her clit. “Mmm.”  He took the swollen nubbin into his mouth and tugged with his teeth.

Her fingers plowed deeper into his hair. “Oh, Simon.” Jessica bucked her hips, grinding her pussy in his face.

Simon sucked, licked and nibbled on the tiny jewel until she was moaning incoherently. He eased his middle finger in and out of her damp sheath, eliciting a gasp from her lips. Simon loved how wonderfully responsive she was.

His tongue caressed each and every inch of her pussy, worshipping it. Hearing the soft mews she made in the back of her throat fueled his own excitement.

Jessica released his head and grasped his shoulders. “Simon!” she screamed her release.

He eagerly licked at the warm gush of honey that flowed from her, not stopping until he’d captured every bit of it. Only then did he lift his head. He then positioned himself on his knees. More than anything, Simon wanted to be inside her.

Grasping her hand, he guided it to his cock. “Take me inside you.”

“I thought you’d never ask.” She wrapped her fingers around his dick and lifted her hips to meet his thrust.

Once the head rested at her entrance, he pushed forward, going as deep as he dared. Her pussy felt like a wet velvet glove around his cock, sucking him in. “Damn, you’re tight.”

“And you’re so thick,” she groaned, clenching her muscles around him.

“Jessica! If you keep that up, this will end quicker than we’d both like.”

She grinned and wrapped her legs around his waist. “I don’t mind. We have all night, don’t we?” She pulled him against her.

Simon moved in and out of her damp heat, his body sliding against hers—heartbeat to heartbeat. He wanted this moment to last forever. No more words were spoken as their bodies worked as one.

So, synchronized in their dance of passion, when Jessica reached her peak, he met his as well.  Simon spasmed, spilling his seed into her. The culmination of their mutual orgasms made the moment all the more special.

Afterward, they lay side by side, their arms wrapped tightly around each other. Simon absently stroked Jessica’s back. “Was it good for you?”

Jessica smiled. “Most definitely. I think I could go for round two right about now.”

He lifted a brow. “So soon?”

“It will be many years before I could ever get enough of you.”

A sudden burst of emotion tore through him, bringing tears to his eyes.

Jessica frowned. “What’s wrong, Simon?”

“I…I…thank you.” He was too choked up to get all the words out.

“For what?”

“For forgiving me. And for loving me.”

EPILOGUE

Marie looked at Jessica with a critical eye and sighed. “Honey, you two could have waited, you know. No offense, dear, but you’re as big as a house.”

A smile tilted the corner of Jessica’s lips. She touched the prominent swell of her belly. Seven months ago, she and Simon were pleasantly surprised to find they were expecting another set of twins, boys this time around.  Little Harold and Keith were already active, constantly in motion, even though they had yet to arrive.

Jessica and Simon had decided to marry before the babies were born. She would have been content with a small Justice of the Peace wedding, with no frills or fuss, but Simon had insisted on all the trappings.

“No way am I getting married in some informal courtroom. I want to declare my love for you for the entire world to see,” he’d told her fiercely.

“I didn’t know you were such a romantic.” She’d been touched by his declaration and wouldn’t have dreamed of denying him anything.

“Only when it comes to you, my love.” And then he kissed her.

Now here she was on her wedding day with the man she loved and she’d never been happier. She had her two beautiful children, Jason and Jasmine, who were a handful, and two more on the way. But most importantly, she had Simon.

“Mom, I know I’m not the conventional bride in white,” Jessica said ruefully, looking at her stomach, “but this is the way we want it.”

Her mother patted Jessica on the hand. “I don’t mean to sound disapproving. I’m happy for you, of course.”

Jessica stood up and gave her mother a hug. “I know. I love you, Mom.”

Marie’s eyes watered. “I only wish….”
