LAYKENAlthough I want nothing more than to embrace Harper, undress her, and lose myself in the depths of her being, exhaustion has taken its toll on me. I couldn’t bear the thought of making her first time less than perfect and unforgettable. However, the time for us to ravish each other is rapidly approaching. Harper’s irresistible allure makes it challenging for me to restrain myself. For starting a family, I believe in waiting for a couple of years, if not longer. Harper still has so much life to live as a young adult. Countless adventures await her, and I want nothing but the best for her.“Call me old, but I don’t have the energy to walk, let alone make love to you, sweetie. It’s not that I don’t want to, because, believe me when I say I want to more than anything. We need nourishment before we even think of doing much else. Then I would like to take you to the stream. My brain is getting foggy and eyes are drooping. I’m on the verge of passing out.”Harper’s initial disappointm
HARPERWe stopped at a shed that’s just a few yards away from the stream to gather our fishing poles and a tackle box. “We’re lucky my dad rigged up all the poles. That would take an extensive amount of time we don’t really have. But I’ll take the tackle box with us just in case.” He smiles over at me and points at all the fishing rods that are hanging from hooks on the wall. “The coral colored rod is Tenley’s, if you would like to use hers for now. Or you can use any of the others? All but this one, it’s mine,” he says, grinning as he pulls a black and gray fishing rod from the wall.Chuckling and shaking my head, I reach up and grab a black and green rod from the wall. “Somehow I knew the black and gray one was yours. I’m not surprised in the slightest. Whose pole does this one that I grabbed belong to?”“That pole is my dad’s. Don’t worry. He won’t be upset with you using his fishing pole.” Layken rounds me and pushes me towards the door.When we walk to the side of the shed, I see
LAYKENHaving spent the day walking the bustling city streets, our excitement was palpable. Throughout the day, I kept the ring in my pocket, unsure of when the perfect moment to propose would arise. The timing, however, never seemed quite right.As soon as her bare feet touched the cool water, a captivating transformation took place. A radiant smile graced her face, emanating warmth and peace. Her sparkling gray eyes reflected the full moon’s brilliance, twinkling with a touch of enchantment within them. Several emotions course through me. The tranquil lapping of the water against the shore echoed in my ears, heightening the anticipation. Time seemed to stand still as I realized that the moment had arrived - the perfect moment to slide the ring onto her finger, binding Harper and me together forever.As I reach into my shorts pocket and bring out the ring box, her eyes widen. I can’t help but smile down at her, gazing into her mesmerizing orbs. Her lips stretch into a broad smile spa
HARPER“I’ll never let you go, Harper. You’ve made me the happiest man on earth,” Layken says, sweeping me off my feet and laying me on the bed. We’re just about to make love again when a bright light disrupts us. I’m woken up by the morning sunlight streaming through the window. “Well, crap.” I glance around, wondering if everything that happened last night was just a dream. An unexpected soreness seizes me and I realize I have muscles in places I didn’t realize I had. “Nope. Definitely not a dream.” Closing my eyes, I think back to Layken proposing and our first lovemaking, and a smile forms on my lips.It’s inevitable, though. I have to get up and start my day. However, even the slightest movement makes me want to stay in bed. The ache I feel, though, is a satisfying ache, one that I know I’ll experience time and again to be with Layken. Looking around, I don’t see him anywhere. With some effort, I roll onto my side and sit up. I reach for my phone, seeing that it’s ten in the mo
HARPER*After we finished eating lunch, Layken and I went to the stream chairs, which he had left the night before. The soothing babble of the stream and the sounds of nature all around us created a peaceful atmosphere. It wasn't long before I fell asleep. Some time later, Layken lifted me up into his arms and carried me inside. He settled me down on the couch and snuggled up behind me, holding me close. Layken’s peaceful snoring, lulled me back to sleep.I would never have thought that passionate sex would take so much out of your body, but it does. In a good way, though. I feel absolutely amazing in so many ways. Layken and I can't get enough of each other and have made love four times in less than twenty-four hours. I guess you could say five times if you count our little escapade in the bathtub twice because he took again once we had gotten under the spray of the shower. We couldn’t seem to get enough of each other, which was fine by me. Nothing compares to having Layken’s body fl
LAYKENThe grief of Robert’s passing feels like a crushing weight on my chest, a constant ache I can’t escape. My mind is reeling, and I’m numb with shock; it’ll be a long road to recovery. An all-consuming dread engulfs me. The possibility of suffering a heart attack, like Robert did, is a concern if I don’t start taking better care of myself. High blood pressure has plagued me for the last year, manifesting as frequent, throbbing migraines that leave me incapacitated. The multiple medications my doctor prescribed—each with their own set of unpleasant side effects—have made my health problems feel even worse, so I’ve given up on them. If Harper weren’t here, the oppressive loneliness would have already shattered my sanity. In the deepest darkness, she is my light. She’s worth changing for.As we silently head to the airport in an Uber, Harper holds my hand, her head resting on my shoulder in the backseat. She didn’t know Robert well, but I can tell his death is hitting her hard. I am
HARPERTenley grabs my hand. Her eyes widening in amazement as she brings it closer to examine the intricate details of the ring, her fingers tracing the delicate carvings. With a high-pitched shriek of excitement, punctuated by the joyful shrieks of birds, she exclaims, “You guys leave for just four days and come back engaged! Layken, I can’t believe you went ring shopping without me! I would have loved to have been there when you picked out this beautiful ring.” Her voice fills the air with a mix of joy and playfulness. She paused, her fingers tracing the cool, smooth surface of the ring, its intricate details catching the light. “Layken, you did so well,” she compliments, her voice laced with admiration.Leaning closer, her breath warm on his ear, she whispers, “When did it happen? How and where did he propose? It better have been romantic.” She asks, then waves her hand dismissively. “Nevermind tell me all about it in the car. It’s getting late, and everyone is waiting for us,” sh
LAYKENWith a tender kiss to the love of my life, I murmur, “I’ll be right back, baby,” before standing up again. I gave her a wink and a suggestive, “Get yourself ready for me,” then walked off to retrieve a condom.I find Harper engaging in self-pleasure on the bed when I my return. Her fingers on one hand were twirling her clit while the other hand was busy pinching and fondling her pert nipple. Lost in the moment, she moans with her eyes closed. The combination of her incredible beauty and undeniable sexiness never fails to stir up intense emotions within me. Watching her bring herself pleasure is something I could do all night long if I stayed in this spot. The sight before me ignites a physical response in my body as my rigid length twitches and releases pre-cum. I then take action by grabbing it and beginning a steady pumping motion, while my other hand firmly clutches my scrotum.Her eyes snap open, startled, as she realizes I’m standing there, her eyes widening in surprise as
LAYKENHarper consistently manages to surprise me, and each interaction in which she does leaves me with a yearning for more. The sexy gray lingerie garter set she was wearing had such an effect on me I almost blasted off like a bottle rocket. I tested my ability to restrain myself, and exerted every bit of self-control possible to stave off my empending climax. I never in a million years would have thought she would wear something that would be so sexually arousing to me. She’s always been so innocent and conservative. With her positioned between my legs, nibbling her lip and preparing to pleasure me, I struggle to hold back another orgasm. Even though there has been no direct interaction with my cock, the delicate way in which she is holding my erection in her petite hand is provoking an intense sensation within me.At the tip of my cock, pre-cum beads formed, and as she lowered herself, she used her tongue to trace along the slit of my cock, letting out a moan of pleasure as the fl
HARPERWe went back to Tenley's apartment so that we could do a load of laundry. I hoped to surprise him and wanted to change into something sexy to present to Layken tonight.It was almost nine at night, and Layken had been texting for me to come home. So once everything was dry, I changed, and Tenley took me home.I walked through the doorway and into Layken’s embrace, the comforting, musky scent of his cologne and skin filling the surrounding air. Having said our goodbyes to Tenley with a wave, we then shut the door behind us and walked further inside the house. As I struggled with the many bags I was carrying, he offered me his assistance, taking them from my grasp, and together, we proceeded toward the living room. He tossed the bags carelessly onto the couch before pulling me into another close embrace. His lips met mine, and a contented sigh escaped his lips. He must have missed me while I was away. That’s fine by me, because I missed him as well.“How are you feeling, baby?” h
HARPERExasperated, Tenley finally spots an opening in the overflowing parking lot, sighing in relief as she carefully nudges her car into the space, the weight of the day pressing down on her. “Are you sure you’re up for such a long walk? It’s quite a trek up to the entrance of the mall,” Tenley asked, glancing over at me. “Earlier, Layken’s report to Tambre was that you weren’t feeling well. That’s why I’m asking. I could keep driving around until a space opens up that is closer to the entrance, if needed. I don’t mind,” Tenley asked, glancing over at me as soon as she parked the car.“I’m feeling absolutely amazing after trying on my dress. So don’t worry, Tenley,” I said, grinning over at her. “It’s important that I get some lingerie to wear underneath it. I want mine and Layken’s wedding night to be special. Besides, the long walk would do me some good. I need to keep in shape as much as possible while I’m pregnant,” I said, winking at her. “I will not let a long walk detour me f
HARPERI twisted and grinned up at Layken. “Now that I have eaten and drank some water, I feel great. Don’t worry. It needs to be done today because we only have two weeks left before the wedding. Leanne needs to have time to make alterations if needed.”“Alright, sweetie. Let me drive you there, then. That would make me feel more comfortable with you going. Then your mom, Tenley, or Tambre could bring you back.”Anxiety darkens his face. So I know more than to object to his statement. “If it gives you more peace of mind, I’ll let you take me to my dress fitting appointment, bae.”“Yes, I would be worried about you getting there safely and then home otherwise. I wouldn’t want you to faint, fall asleep at the wheel, or get sick to your stomach on the way there and back,” he said, smoothing his fingers through my thick, long, dark hair. It’s always so comforting when he does this, and I realize just how tired I truly am. He’s right, I shouldn’t be driving.I glance at my phone and reali
HARPERLayken holds me up against the wall as I cling to him, his hardness still planted inside me. I don’t think I’ve ever climaxed so hard. Sex has always been amazing with Layken, but things have amped up considerably since I found out I was pregnant. Thinking back to how we met and my life changed forever has me all riled up. If it weren’t for Layken, I wouldn’t be alive right now. I would be dead at the bottom of the lake and no one would even know I was there.I don’t know what the hell got into me just now. Whatever it was, it enthralled my man. I should take charge and be more assertive, more often. I just had the most mind-blowing orgasm ever, since Layken and I have been together. Wait, no, not just one, but two mind-blowing orgasms. The last one I had appeared to have blasted off and was a never ending orgasm that lasted forever. My mind is reeling and even after a few minutes of sitting here, I’m still coming down from my orgasmic high. My senses ignite with passion as my
LAYKENHarper and I walked through the kitchen door from the garage, and once we were both inside, she grabbed my hand and started pulling me toward our room. I thought maybe she wasn’t feeling well and was about to throw up or something. I’ve noticed that happens when she’s upset.“Hey, wait, what’s going on?” I asked with concern.“I need you to fuck me, Layken. Right now, I’m extremely horny. I can’t even focus right now. Do you understand what I’m saying? I want you inside of me now!” she yelled over her shoulder.“What are you talking about, Harper? I thought you said your were tired? What in the world is going on, baby?” I asked, raising my eyebrows and blinking rapidly as I tried to grasp what she had just said.I have rarely heard cuss words coming from Harper, and she has never been as blunt as she just was to me. She told me she was tired in the car and she looked tired. But now, she looks full of energy, her cheeks are flushed, and she looks fucking gorgeous. It has to be t
LAYKENWe pull up to the walkway leading to the entrance of the airport. I put the vehicle in park, then rush to open the door for James, so he could help his sisters exit the vehicle. Then I open the hatch so they could retrieve their belongings and jog over to let Harper out of the SUV. When I open the door, she sniffles and wipes away tears from her eyes. I know this must be hard for her. Her breath hitches as she reaches out and clutches my hand.We helped her aunts and uncle into the airport and gave hugs and waved, saying our goodbyes as they walked out of sight. Harper did well through the entire ordeal, but I know I need to cheer her up. I just don’t know what that would be just yet.We got settled into our seats and I drove away from the airport. When I had glided onto the highway I glanced over, and my heart constricts. Harper’s sniffling, and tears are streaming down her cheeks. I’m still unsure of what I should do to cheer her up. “What’s wrong sweetie?” Why did I ask her
HARPERJenna smiles as she sits next to me on the ground, then glances over at Josephine. “Josephine, why don’t you come to the other side of Harper, and we can show her the family album of all of us as we were growing up,” Jenna said before opening her album.They went into some crazy tales of the four of them as they were growing up. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It made me regret not having siblings. I had friends while I was young, but after my dad died and I moved away, I lost contact with all of them. It was lonely. Even though Sarah and Juan showered me with love, it wasn’t the same.We were all so absorbed in our conversation I had not seen my parents had arrived. I looked to see mom whispering with Janice on the couch sipping wine. Casting my eyes around, I saw dad was nowhere to be seen and concluded he was downstairs with Layken and James.Turns out Jenna and Josephine have four kids each, and James has three. Josephine has eight grandchildren, Jenna has nine gra
HARPERAfter encouraging myself further, I made my way back to the dining room, doing my best to smile. Josephine was the first to see me as I walked in. “Are you alright, Harper? I am aware this must be a lot to digest,” she asked as I strolled towards my seat.After sitting down next to Layken, he clutched my hand, offering his support. Which is needed right now, that’s for sure. “I’m feeling much better now. It was necessary for me to take a few minutes to calm down is all. You may not be aware, but I am two months pregnant. I’m usually quite level-headed. These days, it doesn’t take much to set me off. My hormones are just all over the place.”Josephine grins and claps her hands in excitement at my words, which makes me grin wider than I already am. “Congratulations! Babys are such a joy. You must follow in my footsteps,” she explains, chuckling. “My emotions were all over the place every time I was pregnant. I had four of my own. My youngest is just a few years older than you. I
