Chapter 37
Robbie was reading in bed when Laura came in. "You know he doesn't need anyone to watch him while he sleeps."
She smiled as she slid into bed next to him. "I know. But he's so precious and we leave in the morning. I'm going to miss him."
He put his book on the bedside table and raised his arm. She tucked in next to him. They lay there for a few minutes. "Robbie, are you OK?"
He kissed the top of her head. "Of course love, why do you ask?"
She stroked his chest. "I know you were upset earlier."
He took her hand in his. "And how do you know that love?"
"Because I know you Robbie Lewis."
He kissed her hand then intertwined their fingers. "I was sad for a moment watching you play with Matthew."
She took a deep breath. "You were wishing I was Val."
He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head so that he could see her eyes. They were filled with tears. "Laura, I didn't for a moment wish you were Val. I did wish that Val were here. But I am so happy that you are here. This weekend has been perfect." He kissed her. He wiped the tears from her eyes. "Don't cry love. You mean the world to me."
She buried her face in his chest and continued to cry. He held her until the crying subsided. "Laura, I'm so sorry to have hurt you."
She looked up at him. "Robbie, I'm not going to lie to you. It does hurt me but at the same time I understand. I was apprehensive about coming here this weekend because I was scared that this would happen. I don't want to jeopardize what we have…"
He kissed her. "Laura, you haven't jeopardized anything. I did think about Val earlier but it was the only time this weekend that I had that thought. I thought it was only fair that I share it with you. I want you to know everything about me. And that includes the secrets and landmines."
She smiled sadly at the reference from the earlier conversation. "Robbie, I need to tell you something and I don't want to scare you. But I need you to know this. I love you."
He ran his thumb across her mouth. "I know Laura. I've known for so long. And it doesn't scare me. It means the world to me."
She kissed his thumb then sucked it slowly into her mouth. The feel of her lips around his thumb sent a shock through his entire body. He groaned as he looked into her eyes and saw not only love, but desire. He pulled his thumb from her mouth. "Let me make love to you Laura." She nodded her assent.
He pulled her shirt over her head then kissed her. He pushed her slowly back into the bed. His hands cupped her breasts. His thumbs flicked over the hard nipples. She pushed up to him wanting more.
Robbie kissed down her cheek to her jawline and slowly down her neck. Her hands reached down and tore at his shirt. He broke away from her skin long enough to allow her to remove it. He softly kissed her collarbone nipping at her skin along the way.
His hands continued to mold her breasts. He replaced one hand with his mouth and she moaned. "Oh Robbie." Her hands wound through his hair. He alternated between breasts. She was panting as he began to move down her body. His tongue traced a hot trail down her stomach.
When he reached the waistband of her pajamas he teased them down giving himself access to more of her flesh. He sucked against her skin, marking her. He sat up slightly, lifting her hips and pushing her bottoms off and discarding them.
He took a moment to look at her. She was perfect in this moment. Her hair mussed and skin flushed. She looked up at him and he could feel the love radiating from her. He leaned down and placed his mouth over the mark he made earlier. He sucked at it again, darkening the mark. She lifted her hips to him. One leg wrapped around him pulling him closer.
He licked further down her body and nestled between her legs. His tongue traced her outer folds. She moaned and pushed closer to him. His tongue teased her entrance. Her hands fisted into the sheets as she struggled not to cry out.
He flattened his tongue and licked at her roughly. She mewled. He slowly pressed two fingers into her and curled them slightly. She cried out. He licked at her swollen nub then sucked it into his mouth. "Robbie."
He continued to lick and suck at her. His fingers slid in and out of her. He could feel her tightening around him. He pushed her, increasing the speed of his hand and tongue. He could feel the light coating of sweat covering her body.
He looked up at her. "Laura, stop fighting it, let it happen." He sucked her in and she fell over the edge.
She cried out as he covered her body. His mouth captured hers as he thrust into her. The feel of him inside her sent her catapulting over the edge again. He pushed into her as he watched the pleasure play across her face. His last thought before he surrendered to his own pleasure was that might not be able to tell her he loved her, but he could show her.
In the hallway, Lyn was walking to Matthew's room. She heard the noises from the guestroom and smiled. He must have taken her advice. She picked up her son and settled in the chair. As she looked at him, she was sad that her mother wasn't there to know him. But she was glad that Laura had brought her dad back to life so that he could be there.
