She nodded and walked out of the kitchen. I walked over to the phone and dialed my parents’ number.
“Hello?”
“Mom! I need a huge favor.”
My mother laughed. “You think you know where she is?”
“I do. Can you take care of the kids tonight and get them to school tomorrow?”
“Of course.” She pulled the phone away and said, “Jack, we’re gonna spend the night at Drew’s.”
I quickly put the kids’ lunches in the refrigerator and made my way to our bedroom.
“We’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Thanks, Mom. I owe you and Dad big time.”
She chuckled. “Just go get her and bring her home already.”
“Oh, I intend to, Mom. I intend to.”
I stepped out of the elevator and made my way down the hallway of The Driskill hotel. I smiled as I stopped and stood in front of the room where Ellie and I had spent our honeymoon. I pushed my hand through my hair and counted down from ten. My hands were shaking, and for some reason, I was scared to death she would open the door and shut it in my face.
I knocked and held my breath.
When the door opened and she saw me, her eyes lit up, and the biggest smile spread across her face. “Drew.”
I smiled and slowly let out the breath I had been holding. “Ellie.”
She shook her head. “How did you know where to find me? I told Alex I would be home tomorrow. What are you doing here?”
I started walking into the room as she began walking backward.
“I’m here to make love to my wife.”
Ellie’s eyes changed and held that familiar passion I loved so much. I shut the door behind me.
She bit down on her lower lip and whispered, “I was hoping you would figure out where I was.”
I walked up to her and placed my hands on the sides of her face. I leaned down and kissed her. She placed her hands on my chest and moaned as our tongues began dancing together.
The kiss was slow and sweet at first. I just wanted to take it slow. I’d missed her so much the last few days. I wanted to take every single thing in—the feel of her lips on mine, the smell of her hair, and the warmth of her touch.
I pulled my lips from hers and watched as a tear made its way down her beautiful face. I gently wiped it away.
She said, “Gunner, I’ve missed you so much.”
“I promise you, Ellie, I will never make you feel lost again. Knowing I made you doubt our love kills me. I intend on making it up to you…all night.”
She smiled. “That sounds like a good plan.”
I took a step back and slowly lifted my T-shirt up and over my head. I unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down, allowing my dick to spring free. I watched her eyes travel up and down my body as she took me in. When she licked her lips, I wanted to bury myself so deep inside her that she would never again doubt my love for her.
“Undress yourself, Ells.”
I almost laughed when I watched her pull her shirt over her head. She quickly pushed her shorts and panties down before kicking them off to the side of the room.
“Gunner, I need to feel you.”
I walked up to her and grabbed her. I pulled her to me and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around me, and my knees felt weak just from having her in my arms.
I loved her so much.
I walked over to the bed and gently laid her on it as I smiled down at her. “I’m going to make love to you now, baby.”
“Yes,” she whispered.
She opened herself to me and arched her back. I crawled over her and placed my hands on the sides of her face as I teased her entrance with my dick.
“Do not ever doubt my love,” I said as I slowly began pushing into her.
Her eyes lit up with passion, and I slammed my lips to hers. When she pushed her hands through my hair, I let out a moan and began moving faster. She tightened her legs around me, and I lost control. I had wanted to slowly make love to her, but something had happened and I needed to take her fast and hard. We were both aching to get more.
I moved up and grabbed her hips as I slammed in and out of her.
“Yes. Gunner…harder. Faster, please go deeper.”
I gave her just what she needed. I could almost feel her squeezing around my dick.
“Oh God. I’m coming. Oh…Gunner…”
She grabbed the sheets and began calling out my name as I pushed deep inside of her. I tried to hold off but couldn’t. I called out her name as an intense orgasm hit me fast and hard. I moved in and out until every last drop was out, and then I collapsed next to her on the bed. We were both breathing as if we had just run a marathon.
Ellie rolled over, threw her leg over me, and nestled her head into my neck. “I’ve missed you. I’ve missed this,” she whispered.
I pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead. “I’ve missed it, too, baby. I’m so sorry, Ellie. I never meant to make you feel like you weren’t wanted. I’ll never forgive myself for hurting you.”
She moved back some and tilted her head, looking at me. “Gunner, I just don’t want to fall into a routine where every day is the same thing. I want you to sneak me off to the barn like we did before. I want to make out in the back of a movie theater or have sex in your truck. I just want…us.”
I moved her body up some and began kissing her. She always tasted so sweet. I rolled her over and laid her down on the bed as I moved my hand between her legs. She instantly opened to me, and I pushed my fingers inside her. I began massaging the spot that I knew drove her over the edge. She grabbed a handful of my hair and smiled.
“I’m going to make you come again, baby.”
She closed her eyes and started moving her hips. “Gunner…oh God…don’t stop. I’m…so…close.”
I leaned down and began sucking on her nipple, and she jerked as her orgasm hit her. I bit down on her nipple.
She cried out, “Yes! Gunner, yes! Oh God. Oh…God…yes!”
I loved making Ellie come. She was so responsive to my touch, even after all these years.
She opened her eyes as she smiled at me, and I kissed her nose.
Getting off the bed, I stood up and reached for her hand. “Come on, let’s go take a shower.”
She nodded her head and stood up. I leaned down, picked her up, and began carrying her into the bathroom. I set her down on the bench, turned around, and started the shower.
Ellie cleared her throat. “Can I ask you something?”
I glanced back at her as I checked the water temperature. “Of course you can.”
