Unconditional Love (Journey of Love #1)(32)
Author: Kelly Elliott

When I walked into the bedroom Lark had my bag sitting on the bed. I headed for it and heard my cell phone ringing. I looked and my purse was sitting on the bench. Lark must have put it there for me since I didn’t remember bringing it in here.

I quickly ran over to it and pulled my cell phone out to see my mother was calling. Again.

I swiped the phone and said, “Hello, Mom.”

“Where in the world have you been? I called the coffee house and they said you weren’t in yesterday or today. Is everything okay?”

I smiled and bit down on my lower lip. “Everything is wonderful, Mom.”

“Oh. My. Lord. You’ve met someone.”

My mouth dropped open and I stood there stunned. “How in the world did you know?”

My mom laughed and I heard the screen door open and shut. She must have walked outside.

“I hear it in your voice. Is he good?”

What? “Mom! You did not just ask me that!”

She laughed and said, “Yes I did just ask you that. Well?”

I walked over and opened up my bag and pulled out my jeans and a T-shirt. I looked for my light pink boy short panties and the white lace bra I packed. I hit speakerphone and threw my phone down on the bed.

“Mom, I’m trying to get dressed. Can I call you back?”

“No. I’m waiting…well?”

I rolled my eyes and tried to stall. “Well what, Mom?” I slipped on my panties and then my bra as I heard my mother saying something to my father about how she would be back in the house in ten minutes.

She let out a sigh and said, “This boy you’ve met, is he any good?”

I slipped my jeans on and my bra. “He is hardly a boy, Mom.”

“Ohh…do tell. Come on, I’ve waited years for you to talk to me about a boyfriend.”

I had to admit I was dying to talk to someone and I couldn’t talk to anyone at work. I was the boss. Jessie was just back from her honeymoon and would be busy with Lauren, so in reality, I only had my mother to talk to.

Oh Jesus. I just depressed myself.

I slipped the T-shirt over my head and said, “Yes, Mom, he is very…very good.”

She giggled and that caused me to giggle. “Jesus, Mom, this feels wrong to talk to you about this.”

“I knew it. I heard it in your voice. I knew you would eventually find the boy…er…man, who would change your whole world. How long have you known him?”

And here come the questions. “It will be a year around this Christmas.”

“How long have y’all been dating?”

“Um…not terribly long.”

“Uh huh…I see. What does this boy do for a living?”

I paused. I had no clue what Lark did. None. All I knew was he flew helicopters, he had been in the Marines, and whatever it was he did, he sure didn’t talk about it to anyone.

“He was in the Marines.” I rolled my eyes and flopped down on the bed and hit my forehead with the palm of my hand.

“The Marines, huh? Your father will like that. What’s the young man’s name?”

“Lark Williams. Hey Mom, listen I hate to cut you off, but we’re fixing to leave.”

“Okay, darling. Will you be back at the coffee shop tomorrow?”

“Yes. I’ll be there at opening and then heading over to the new place to check on things.”

“All right, dear. Practice safe sex.”

I shuddered and said, “Yuck, Mom…too far. You went too far!”

My mother let out a loud laugh and then said, “Bye, darling. Have fun today with Lark.”

I hung up and threw myself back onto the bed. “Oh God! My mother knows I’m having sex!”

I felt the bed move and Lark was laying on me laughing. “But does she know how fucking hot the sex is?” he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows up and down. I giggled and decided I liked the playful Lark. A lot.

“I held that part back.”

Lark placed both hands on the side of my face and kissed me so sweet and gentle. When he pulled back, he lifted his eyebrow and looked at me and pushed himself into me. I raised my eyebrow back and asked, “What do you feed yourself to have such stamina?”

He laughed and pushed himself off of me and then reached for my hand and pulled me up.

“Thank you for this morning. It was amazing.”

I nodded my head and said, “Yes, it was.”

I looked him up and down and somehow managed to keep the moan I wanted to let out buried deep down inside of me. He looked amazing. He had on Lucky jeans that fit him perfectly, a dark blue T-shirt and his cowboy boots. He looked hot as hell.

“You look…good,” I said as I licked my lips. He smiled slightly and said, “You look beautiful. Come on, the day is young still and I have lots I want to do today. I have to leave town tomorrow.”

My smile faded and my heart dropped. I wanted to let out a childlike nooo and stomp my foot and demand he not leave again. He walked up to me and lifted my chin up and brushed his lips across mine. “I don’t want to leave, mi amor, but I have to.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him as we both kissed each other like we wouldn’t see each other for days.

He pulled back and leaned his forehead against mine. “Azurdee…I hope you know how much you mean to me.”

“I do. I hope you know as well,” I said as he slowly slid me down his body. He grabbed my hand as I reached for my purse.

“Leave it…you won’t need it. Oh wait. Grab your driver’s license.”

I reached in and took out my license and pushed it into my back pocket along with some money. My mother always told me to never go anywhere without a few dollars in your pocket.

We made our way to the elevator. I glanced at the small table and thought about last night. I chewed on my bottom lip as I tried to decide what I liked better. Lark making love to me or Lark fucking me. I looked at him and he was smiling at me, almost like he knew what I was thinking.

“I like it rough too, but I love making love to you more than anything.”

My mouth parted open slightly and I was washed away with what he said. Just when I think I know him he goes off and swoons the hell out of me.

The elevator opened and we stepped inside. He swiped his card across and hit the fifty-sixth floor button.

“I’m having a key card made for you. I want you to know you can stay here anytime you want. Especially when I’m in town. I really liked waking up with you next to me.”
