My mirth is abruptly halted when he breaches me below. My eyes flutter, my mouth collapses and my lungs empty as I release a long chain of air from the instant pleasure of his fullness.
Holy. Mother. Of. Joseph.
“This is not the time for humor, Elizabeth,” he growls into my parted mouth. “This is how we Rogers celebrate an incoming.”
He rears back before thrusting once more. And sure enough, I’m breathing again.
The End.

Love Acknowledges
L.I.P.’ers & Breathers: Am I dreaming? Are you guys really out there? It feels as though I know my hardcore ones personally – we speak every darn day! Each day you make my heart smile. Every day you make me laugh and blush. You know who you are. Just know that I appreciate all of you. Each email, inbox, tweet, and IG love note is felt by my heart! Blessings to you all! I hope to see you in the upcoming year at a signing.
Karras Jordan & Ariel Meredith – You two have been amazingly generous with allowing us to use your images to give the readers visuals of Stenton and Zoey. Thanks for letting me doctor up your professional shoots as well as your selfies on social network. It took the fun out of stalking because I had permission, but it took my imagination to another level when I was able to coordinate them with the story line. I so appreciate your talents. You two specifically are skilled with your range of images. Because of the timeline of this story, I was able to go through your pictures and select Stenton and Zoey at their respective ages, and still have more to choose from. Phenomenal!
Love’s Betas: Sabrina S. Scott, you’re a gem! I appreciate your kind spirit and support. Christina C. Jones, I’m grateful for your bae-ship and hope to continue with it. You’ve been nothing but a gift.
#TeamLove: Juaquanna A Gaines-Sams, thanks for all your support and consultation. Can’t wait for our rounds next year. They ain’t ready! Shumethia Seal, I can’t tell you enough how fortunate I am for “stumbling” upon you. Thanks for all you’ve done to bring this project alive. I hope you lend your brains to the next project.
Karen Rogers-McCollum: You’ve been my saving grace against the raging timelines my team put me against. Woe is me! (insider). Thanks sooooooo much for your patience and fantastic energy. I almost don’t want to disclose your talents, in fear of folks stealing you from me.
In-house editor: Zakiya Walden of I’ve Got Something to Say Incorporated – Thanks so much for all your assistance. I know the timing has been rough, but you’ve showed up!
MDT: I didn’t make the deadline, but I’ve delivered (pun intended). We’re just getting warmed up. Don’t sleep. Teehee!
To my Master, my Jireh, my Rohi, 1 John 4:4. Thank You for Your faithfulness. To You be all the glory.
