“No, and I don’t want to know.”
“Yes you do. You smiled at me, flounced around and then keyed my car. I fell in love with you right then and there. Any woman who had the balls to damage such an expensive car and admit to it was the woman for me. You know it wasn’t my fault right, Lux? That girl Fannysacia just couldn’t stay away from me.”
“You know full-well her name was, Fantasia, so don’t even start with me, Joshua Kingdom.”
Josh could hear the first notes of laughter in her voice and hoped she would lose the battle with seriousness. “That paint job on my car cost me a fortune but you were worth it, Luxandria.”
“Well, I’m glad you think I’m worth more than a paint job on your car,” Lux scoffed.
“My weight in gold bullion?”
“What?”
“Okay, you drive a hard bargain, our weights combined in diamonds.”
“Josh, what are you talking about?!”
Finally, Josh thought, as she turned around and looked at him. “How much you mean to me.”
“Stop it!”
“Stop what, telling you that I love you. I’ll never stop telling you that because it’s how I feel.”
“Just stop–”
“I can’t, Luxie because you are in my life, I wake up each morning thinking I’m the luckiest man in the world. Don’t you know that some people search their whole lives for what we have?” Turning over onto his side, Josh looked down at her. “We found each other Lux. We’re in our twenties and we met and fell in love. I love you Luxandria, I will always love you, more than you could ever imagine.
I love you so much, I know when I’m seventy years old and you walk into a room, I’ll still think you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Remember I’m still seventy years old,” Josh teased. “I bet I’ll be sucking in my gut to remind you of how I looked when we first met.” It worked, she laughed.
“You are such an idiot!”
“It’s funny but my family says the same thing all the time. I guess as you understand me so well, we were meant to be together.”
“This isn’t a good idea.”
“What isn’t?”
“You being all cute and me wanting to feel you deep inside me.”
“Hell, Lux, are you kidding, come sit on this bad boy!”
“That comment isn’t very romantic, Joshua!”
“Romantic, I had romantic all planned out for you tonight. Now, after a whole week of abstinence, I just want to make love to my wife. You can have the flowers and the meal tomorrow. Right now if you don’t put me inside you, this boner might go to waste!”
“For a rich boy, you can be incredibly vulgar, do you know that?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Don’t you have any shame?”
“Where you’re concerned, no, ma’am!”
“For goodness sake, what am I supposed to do with you?”
“Right now all that is required of you is that you ride my dick until we’re both satisfied.” With his final quip, all traces of humor disappeared. It was too long since they’d made love, and he wanted the feel of them wrapped in each other’s arms more than he wanted his next breath.
“Okay, because it’s been a while, you get to tell me what you want.”
Josh hesitated as he considered her words. Maybe he’d come across wrong. “Lux…” Josh paused as she straddled him. “No matter how much I’ve messed up, I did it because I love and want the best for you.”
“You talk too much, do you know that?”
“I’ve been told that.”
Lux didn’t say another word as she palmed and lowered herself onto his erection. Gritting his teeth, Josh wondered how long he could hold out against the feel of her body taking him deep inside her. When she began to move against him, he couldn’t hold back from telling her how he felt.
“For me, this is the best feeling in the world. When I’m inside you, I feel as though I’m whole. I know I’ve messed up, but please don’t ever stop loving me, Luxie. This last week has been hell.”
“Joshua.”
“What.”
“Stop talking. Tonight is about feeling.”
That night, making love with Lux was the best he’d ever known. When she grew tired of riding him, he took over. Placing her exactly where he wanted her, he moved in and out of her for what seemed like hours. When his body finally screamed for release he held on. He needed her to be in the same place as him.
“Do you love me, Luxie?”
“Yes!”
“Are you ready to give us what we both need?”
