"Yes, Jay?" I stood at the backyard spreading washed clothes of me and little Jaimie.
"I can't find my little Batman!"
I mentally searched for it. Then, I remembered the last place I saw it. "Check your mother's cabinet, the second one. You put it there!"
Silence. Then, "Oh, I remember now! You're the best aunt ever, Aunt Anya!"
"You say it because I'm the only aunt you have, little man!" I shouted right back.

But just when I was enjoying the moment, Tann broke the kiss."Oh...." I said dumbly, still reeling from the kiss we shared.I chuckled and twerked her lips. "And she's dumbfounded."My cheeks heated and I closed my eyes. He held my cheeks in his hands staring passionately into my eyes, his two pairs of blue eyes pierced into mine, I was so taken away by his handsomeness. Captivated."I love that you're here with me, Jasamina. I wish everyday would be like this.""I wish so too. I love being with you Tann."No one has ever treated me this way. As if I'm a queen.

He kissed me until my body felt heavy and wanting his. I leaned into him, trembling with my desire for him."Please, don't say those words again, honey.

My voice came out a shaky whisper as I stood up.She looked like she aged ten years in the past five years. She had none of her jeweleries on her body, her hair wasn't braided or styled, there was no fancy cloth on her body.She stared at me with recognition. She stared at me with pain in her eyes.Suddenly, her eyes watered.

My body was drawn taut with the need to move but instead, I kissed her wet brows, down to her cheeks.Seconds later, she whimpered and went lax under me, making relief to course through me. I pulled back and stroked into her gently.A heavy groan escaped my lips because I found heaven, and it was more than I've ever expected. I took leisure strokes until she sighed breathily.Then, I stretched out on top of her, taking her hands into mine and pinning it above her head. I pumped slowly, getting my bearings, learning the lay of the tight land. I love that she clutched me so closely. Her face buried in my neck.
