Chapter 24 - Still Falling For You

Deep sea blue eyes looked out at the crystal clear blue ocean. She had never seen anything so beautiful in all her life. She couldn't even believe she was here. When Roman suggested they go on a vacation together just the two of them; she never imagined in all her life it would be Hawaii. Roman had completely thrown her for a loop when he came home from the road with airplane tickets to the most beautiful state she had ever seen from the air - to landing - to the first night in the hotel on the beach.

Ayana had never felt so relaxed and comfortable. They had been to nightly luau's on the beach right outside their hotel room; all they had to do was step off the wooden porch and they hit the beach. They had spent time doing different things. Of course they went snorkeling with the fishes, swimming with the dolphins, they even went diving with sharks; completely terrifying but exhilarating at the same time. They were sure to take plenty of photos for the kids and even face timed with them at night to check on them; promising to do the same vacation again in the future but with them next time.

They had yet to reconnect on a sexual level, but on this trip anything was possible. They seemed to be reconnecting in ways they hadn't been connected for years. Going out for their dates before the vacation had helped them get re-acquainted and re-discover each other on a personal level.

Ayana was terrified at the thought of sex with her own husband. They hadn't had sex in so long it was almost as if she forgot how to do it with him. Making love used to be the best part of them being together because it never mattered how tired or run down they were from school, work, kids or whatever they still wanted each other; needed each other. Even after her fling with AJ she still wasn't sure how to reconnect with Roman when it came to sex.

She had gone earlier and got her nails and toes done and was just relaxing on the porch of their hotel room. Every room for the hotel was more like a suit equipped with fully functioning kitchens. Roman had actually called ahead of time and had the kitchen completely stocked; he knew nine times out of ten Ayana would rather cook and eat in than get dressed up and go out. He's also already planned a head of time and whenever she didn't want to cook he would hire a cook; it was their vacation after all.


Roman wasn't even sure how to approach his own wife about having sex again. Apparently he lost all his game; he chuckled at that thought. He was sitting in the gym of the hotel making sure to keep his body up to par; not wanting to slack just because they were on vacation. He knew while he was at the gym Ayana was doing her own thing; whether it was getting pampered or walking along the water's edge.

He had been hoping and praying that this trip would guide them back to the happily married couple they had once been before babies and co-workers started getting in the way.

Roman was just elated that Ayana was allowing him to sleep in the same bed while on vacation. He'd actually been smart enough to give her the option; telling her he would sleep on the couch in the suites living room because they still weren't sleeping in the same bed at home. The minute Ayana shook her head and told him he could share the bed with her he was practically giddy; giddier than he had been in YEARS.

They had already been in Hawaii a week and each night Roman started noticing that Ayana was moving closer and closer to him in bed. Obviously it held promise for him, but he wouldn't push the issue. She was still allowing him to hold her hand as they went on night walks along the water; lit only by the moon. They still had another week; maybe two left depending on how they were doing.

As soon as Roman finished in the gym he showered in the gym locker room and headed back to his and Ayana's room. He looked around the suite and didn't see his wife anywhere in sight until he walked past the sliding glass door off their bedroom and saw some raven hair blowing in the warm breeze. He quietly walked out in case she was napping and had to stifle a groan. His wife was in a white two piece bikini; it made her already tanned skin glow.

Even after five pregnancies and four kids her body was damn amazing. Sometimes he thought of it as an elastic band that would snap back into shape after she had one of their babies. She would argue with him about having to work out to get her body back and it usually took 5 to 6 months. He told her he didn't care how much weight she gained or lost he would literally love her for the rest of his life; that he never lied about.

Roman pulled at the nylon material of his swim shorts before squatting down next to the lounge chair; he had thought about swimming before dinner but once he saw his wife all swimming thoughts vacated his brain. He leaned over and softly kissed Ayana's bare shoulder. He watched as her eyes fluttered open before they turned to him as he smiled when her hand came up and cupped his jaw. "Enjoying the quiet baby girl?" He noticed the sun was starting to set on the day and dinner should be ready soon.

"Mmhmm." Ayana hummed with a nod. "What do we want to do for dinner?" She asked as she slowly moved around until she was sitting up and swung her legs over the edge of the lounge chair. Her hands on Roman's bent knees. She too had noticed how they had been physically getting closer to each other on a daily basis. Before the dates and vacation it was almost as if they were terrified to be next to one another. Now she felt like she couldn't get close enough.

Roman's hands started at hers and slowly slid up her arms until one hand got to her chin; his index finger ran down her jaw line. "I've already got dinner all taken care of. All we have to do is get it out of the oven."

"Have you really thought of everything on this vacation?" Ayana asked as she watched Roman carefully stand before taking both of her hands and helping her to her feet.

Roman's tongue snaked out and wet his top lip while rolling his bottom lip under his tongue to wet his dry lips. "Yes ma'am; at least I really hope I have." He brought her right hand up and kissed her knuckles. "Go ahead and get ready for dinner, because we are staying in tonight."

"Ooo sounds intriguing." Ayana teased as she stepped past Roman and back into the room. As she was passing the closet she grabbed a white and blue tie dyed cotton dress. It was sleeveless and was ankle length. She hadn't done any swimming that day so she slipped it on over her bikini before she pulled her hair up in a claw clip to get it out of her face. She padded through the suite barefoot and as she came to the kitchen she could see Roman standing by the counter. He had slipped on a v-neck black t-shirt and had pulled his hair back in a loose bun to get it out of his face as well.

Ayana walked over to the counter as she walked behind Roman and stopped on his right side as she looked at the baking pan that was sitting on cork pads. She was watching as Roman plated dinner; he really had thought of everything. The lasagna looked amazing and the cheesy garlic bread scent was all over the suite.

Roman pushed the plates over to the already cut up cheesy garlic bread, but stopped in his tracks when his eyes found his wife's naked neck. She had clipped her hair up and out of the way and left her neck bare for his eyes. He knew no one would EVER understand it but Roman always thought Ayana's neck was the sexiest part of her; other than the way her legs always felt soft and smooth to the touch. Roman couldn't stop himself as he leaned over and softly kissed the back of her neck.

Ayana let out a soft gasp as she felt Roman's soft lips on her flesh; her whole body broke out in goosebumps. She felt Roman's hand as it snaked around her torso and palmed her flat stomach; her hand covered his as she leaned back against him. His lips traveled across the nape of her neck to the right side.

"Hungry?" He murmured in her ear.

Ayana could feel her whole body turning to lava as she slowly shook her head no. "Not even a little."

Dinner was suddenly forgotten.

His free hand slid up her back to her neck where he pulled the string on her bikini top...both strings; before he slipped the tiny material from the cotton dress and dropped it to the floor. He gently turned her around to face him before wrapping his hands around her hip and carefully lifted her; settling her on the counter before he cupped her cheeks and he leaned down letting his lips suddenly catch hers. His hand released her hair from the clip.

That first kiss was beautiful and passionate. Their lips hadn't touched in 2 years. The feeling of their tongues brushing against each other's was enough to cause them to moan in each other's mouths. Nothing in life had ever felt so good.

Roman's hand moved from her hip to slide up her back and buried his fingers in her soft hair, pressing her flush against his body. There was no way he'd let her down, not now – not ever. Their mouths angled against each other and in no time both we're tasting each other, their tongues tangling. He groaned from low in his throat, the feeling of her mouth against his pure heaven.

"Do you have any idea how great that feels?" Roman mumbled against her lips, reluctantly breaking the kiss so they could both breathe and looked down at her flushed face and trembling body. He took her hand and slid it beneath his jersey shorts and boxer/briefs, making her touch his rock hard cock. "That's what you do to me, Ayana. Every time I see you, my cock stands at attention for you. Only you." His mouth sealed to her neck and Roman nearly came unglued when she began stroking him, feeling himself harden more if that was possible. "Goddamn I want you right here, right now. Tell me you want me as much as I want you."

Ayana just about died when she felt how truly hard he was as she smiled softly. "Don't stop Roman; please don't stop." She practically begged as her hand never stopped stroking his rock hard cock with her hand as her fingernails started teasing his VERY present erection. "I want you; I've always wanted you." She moaned as his lips continued to kiss her neck and they started following the chest line of her dress. She wanted this man more than anything else in the whole wide world. She felt his hands slide up her arms as he pulled down the shoulder straps to her cotton dress. A second later, Roman's head dipped to capture her nipple in his hot mouth; her hand slipped from his shorts when he moved back slightly.

Ayana sucked in a breath as soon as his beautiful red lips closed around her nipple and her fingers weaved into his hair again. She felt her knees and thighs rubbing against the sides of his body with every move they both made. Her hand slipped back into his jersey shorts and boxer/briefs as she took him into her hand again. She could just feel the power that stood between her thighs and it made her sex tingle with anticipation. She sucked in another breath when he kissed across her chest to take her other nipple into his mouth and her fingers tightened into his hair; feeling him growl slightly. Roman's ministrations were getting to her brain and making her head fuzzy. She couldn't help the moan that came from between her lips. "Roman…"

"If you don't stop stroking me, we won't get to the fun part, beautiful." Roman informed her huskily, his voice DEEPER than before and proceeded to tease her other perfectly shaped breasts. They were the perfect shape and size, not too much, but just enough to enjoy. Roman loved everything about this woman. Hell, he was in love with her and had been for 15 years. She absolutely was the love of his life. He carefully scooted her off the counter and into his arms as he carried her back to the bedroom. He placed her on her feet on the floor at the end of the bed as he pushed her dress over her hips and down her legs before his hands pulled on the strings of her bikini bottoms and letting them fall to the floor as well.

"I think you've got too many clothes on." Ayana stated as she stared up into her husband's eyes. She waited until he shed his v-neck t-shirt before she leaned over and kissed the middle of his SOLID chest. Jesus, she almost forgot the man was built like a brick wall. Her tongue slowly slid down as she placed soft kisses in sporadic places on his stomach and abs, while her hands went to the draw string of his jersey shorts. Oh she was going to get him naked one way or another at this point. They were both ready to explode.

Before Ayana knew what was happening, Roman had her flat on her back on the bed and placed both of her legs over his broad shoulders and buried his face in her dripping sex. He blew hot air against her clit and flicked it a few times with his tongue, emanating some pretty deep moans from her. He hadn't even started either.

Ayana felt her eyes roll into the back of her head as he kissed along the insides of her thighs between licks. She couldn't help as she giggled softly his go-tee and facial stubble tickled the inside of her thighs. She moved her hips and Roman growled against her clit and she nearly came off the bed, but was stopped short when his tattooed arm came up and went across her pelvis. She couldn't help as she had one hand buried in his hair and her free hand was wrapped around his forearm trying to keep herself from going completely crazy. "Oh God Roman…What are you doing to me?" She asked. "I don't know how much more of this I can take." She wasn't above begging at this point.

"You'll take as much as I dish out and love it." Roman grunted, going right back to working her body into an absolute frenzy. He could feel her trembling thighs and even her hand against his forearm. After teasing her inner thighs for a bit, Roman finally slid his tongue up and down her clit, feeling it quiver against him. She was more than ready to cum for him. He had to decide if he wanted to taste her first and then fire her body back up or if he just wanted to explode deep inside of her. The smell of her arousal was too much for him to ignore and Roman made his decision when his tongue plummeted deep into her hot core, closing his eyes as her sweet cries echoed around the room.

As soon as Ayana felt his tongue completely invade the inside of her body she couldn't hold back any longer as she started cumming HARD. She let go of Roman's hair and arm as she gripped the comforter under her body as tightly as she could and even felt her knuckles turning white as she continue the scream that was trapped in her throat. A white blinding light zipped through her body and head. It had been a while she she'd actually had an orgasm and it was definitely obvious to her. She was completely numb from head to toe as she lay there trying to catch her breath as she could feel Roman cleaning up whatever mess she made with his tongue. "Holy shit…"

Roman smirked down at her through hazy dark grey eyes, softly kissing her abdomen after having his fill of her sweet essence. "Are you okay? Do you want to stop?" He rumbled against her soft skin, shifting to where he hovered over her burying his face in the crook of her neck. When Ayana responded by yanking his mouth down on hers, Roman had his answer and slipped right between her thighs, his cock brushing up against her sensitive sex. "How do you want this?"

She kissed his lips softly. "If you don't take me, I swear to God Roman, if you make me wait any longer. I'll get up and go back to the porch and finish the job by myself." Ayana wrapped her legs around him. "So stop asking questions; you want this as much as I do." At this point she wasn't kidding she just wanted him to put her out of her misery.

Roman loved her feistiness, seeing the fire erupt in her beautiful deep blue eyes and refused to deny her anything. "Hold onto me." He ordered, his voice going deeper and lower if that was possible. His hands moved down her sides to grip her thighs, running the tip of his cock up and down her wet slit. Slowly and methodically, Roman began pushing his cock inside of her receptive tight body, losing his breath at how tight she really was. "Holy shit is right, damn woman you are tight…" He grunted out, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead while gritting his teeth. Once she was fully adjusted to him, Roman snapped his hips forward and officially re-claimed her.

Ayana was holding her breath and didn't realize she was until he was all the way in her. She finally started breathing again when he started moving. She tightened her legs around his waist as one hand held onto his bicep and her other hand pushed his long hair out of his face as she brought his lips back to hers. Feeling him doing long hard strokes. Pulling out almost to the point where the head of his cock was out and pushing back in. Just the feeling was still taking her breath away. She couldn't help but think she was completely in love with this man and the things he was doing to her body. His forehead pressed against hers. "God you have no idea how good you feel inside of me." She admitted. "I've missed you so much Roman." Him re-claiming her as his wife was the BEST feeling in the world; something she hadn't felt in 2 years.

"Goddamn so do you; I missed you too Aya. I was a stupid fool." Roman growled, pulling her body up from the bed as her legs remained locked around his waist, holding her up against him. He had to use pure strength and power as his thrusts were slow and methodic. Roman did NOT want to hurt her. He didn't mind the slowness though, it just meant they both got to feel each and every thrust he produced inside her body. His mouth claimed hers briefly and then moved down to her voluptuous breasts, capturing a nipple in his mouth. All the while his thrusts never stopped, one hand splayed on her back to hold her against him as their breathing turned ragged.

Ayana smirked when her back touched the bed again; she slowly pushed Roman over onto his back as she moved around slightly without completely disconnecting their bodies. She placed her hands on his solid chest as she slowly started to ride him; shaking her head negatively. "You shouldn't have to do all the work." She could feel the way his hands were gripping her thighs as she leaned her head down and softly kissed around his chest and up his collar bones, across his adam's apple which she softly sucked on – making sure not to leave any marks on him that would be visible. As she was leaned over him her long hair created a curtain around them. Her hips stared to pick up the pace; his hips started coming off the bed and meeting her thrusts as her lips found his again

"So considerate." He mumbled against her mouth as their tongues entangled and Roman's hands cupped her face, keeping her this way. This angle allowed him to delve deeper inside of her while she continued riding him. It was an exquisite feeling, one Roman would soon not forget. "Mine." He growled against her lips, cementing the fact she belonged to him always. His fingers burying in her hair. "Are you going to cum for me babygirl?" He asked, watching her nod as the sheer ecstasy crossed her face along with his, their foreheads pressing together. Roman slammed her mouth back on his as they began falling over the razor fine edge together, muffling their passion.

She could tell they were both ready to fly over the edge and needed to do so badly. Ayana slammed her hips down as hard as she could; giving him exactly what they both craved. "Oh God Roman!" She exclaimed as she felt the waves of ecstasy washing over her as she started to come apart in his arms. He pulled her lips against his hard as they both fell over the cliff together. She couldn't help collapsing on his chest.

Roman collapsed back on the bed in a sweaty heap, staring up at the ceiling while caressing the top of Ayana's head lovingly. He had to catch his breath; the woman completely expended what was left of his energy with this bout. Not that he was complaining because he definitely wasn't. She slowly lifted her head to meet his eyes and Roman kissed her, shifting to lay her down beside him. He propped his head on his hand, staring down at her and caressed her stomach with his knuckles, both of them coming down from their sexual high.

"I know we both fucked up; we both did things to hurt each other and I'm sorry. But I want you to know that I'm yours for however long you want me." She confirmed verbally. "I just hope it's forever, because I can't do this again Roman. I can't lose you for two years again. You are my heart and soul and you have been since I was 15."

"I'm so sorry for my part in all the bullshit babygirl. I will never understand how you've been able to forgive me for the stupid shit. But I do want you Ayana. I do want you forever. " Roman stated softly.

Ayana reached up and caressed the side of his face. "Well I've been falling for you since I was 15 and lucky for you; I'm still falling for you."

Roman leaned down and caught her lips with his. The rest of this vacation was going to be spent in bed if Roman had anything to say about it.
