I took my time walking toward her, stripping away myclothes as I walked with my eyes focused on hers as she smiled up at me. Thewarm glow from the candles lit throughout the bathroom made her green eyessmolder. Or it could be that sexually we hadn’t been together in nearly twomonths between our schedules and her trip to Washington.
Glimmering flecks of light radiated from her as her legsmoved under the water. “You gonna join me or just stare at me?”
“I’m taking off my clothes aren’t I?”
Before she could say any more, I was slipping into thetub with her.
Sway’s head leaned back as my arms wrapped around her.Though I wouldn’t say it, this reminded me of the time I accused her ofsleeping with Mike. If there was an award for the worst husband of the year, ordecade, I’d definitely be in the running for it.
“I went to see Charlie and Rachel’s graves. Arie wentwith me.”
“Mmmm...” Gently Ikissed along her collarbone, sweeping her hair away from her neck as my lipsgot closer to her neck. My left hand wrapped around her hair pulling it to oneside to give me better access to her skin.
Sway melted at my touch, her body relaxing instantly asher head leaned back. It’s always been virtually staggering to me what justbeing in the arms of a woman can do for a man. Thinking back to the days when Itook it for granted compared to now and how I couldn’t get enough.
Through everything, this woman has been there for me andso many times, I’d taken this for granted how just these arms can take me backto where I belonged.
“Was it hard for you?”
Sway leaned her head to one side, her legs shifting inthe water. “Harder than I thought. It never gets any easier for me.” I kissedher shoulder once more taking the sponge on the tile next to the shower andcovering her chest with warm water as she spoke softly. “I just thought...maybe it might get easier, you know?”
“It won’t. I wish it would but it will never go away.”
Her hands reach for mine, her finger running overcallouses formed from years of racing and engine work.
“I know that you never meant to lie to me.”
“Good.” My lips brushed over her shoulder once more. “Iwould never intentionally hurt you.”
We laid in the tub until the water was cool enough thatSway was shivering worse than Arie was the time she spent four hours in theback of Spencer’s truck.
Once in our room, I warmed her up physically afterplaying the piano for her. She insisted.
“I want this to be good for you.” I said kissing hercheek softly as I laid her in the middle of our bed. Her legs spread allowingme the contact I wanted.
“Why wouldn’t it be?” she seemed genuinely curious.“We’re good at this. Make up sex is good for us.”
I chuckled against her lips. “I have about two months ofpent up sexual frustration. I’ll probably only last thirty-two seconds.”
She laughed at my admission, kissing my neck softly.“Don’t worry...it will be like my firsttime. Though that lasted about a minute so he’s got you beat there.”
I glared, she laughed. “I won’t let that fucker lastlonger than me. Get me a stopwatch. I’m going for one minute, and one-tenth ofa second.”
Her response was to push her hips into mine, her hands findingmy hair. “That is definitely not helping me set fast time or in my case, slowtime.” I told her shifting away.
“Jameson...” shewhimpered reaching for me. “You forgot it’s been two months for me too.”
“Shhh...” Iwhispered kissing the path down her chest to between her thighs. “I need asponsorship guarantee.”
I did some of my best deburring during that time and fromher moans, I’d say she enjoyed it. Chuckling to myself, and quite proud I mightadd, I crawled back up her body and rested between her legs preparing for somemuch needed align boring. “Now prepare for the best minute of your life.”
Lapped Traffic – Sway
After I returned home, it took Jameson a day or so and heseemed to think he needed to apologize more and again, if I was honest withyou, I understood why.
That night, though incredibly emotional was probably oneof the strongest connections we’d had in a while.
I found him in the kitchen, staring at the lake throughthe sliding glass doors.
