I pull out and slam into her with enough force that it drives her backward. Her eyes widen. “I’m never leaving you, Coop.”
“Better not.” I pump into her in a hard, steady rhythm and kiss her with the same force and urgency. Her eyes lock with mine, and as her body tightens under me, I stroke her deep and long until she breaks apart, crying out my name, scratching her nails across my shoulders. She throws her head back and arches against me, trying to catch every last sensation. Spent, she collapses.
I let myself go, sending my cum inside her channel. We haven’t used protection, and I hope we make another baby. One that we can raise together. I drop to her side and gather her close.
“We’re going to make it. I know this is a rocky period, but we survived a separation all these years and found each other again, so I know that we’ll overcome this challenge too.”
She sighs and burrows her nose along my chest. “Why is everything a challenge, though? Why can’t we have it easy for once?”
“We’re in a bed in our house, so that’s one thing that’s easier. Remember having to make out in the truck? I also had to kick the door open in order to fuck you right.”
She giggles at the memory. “Remember the one time we got done doing it and you looked out the window only to see that big buck staring right back at you?”
I burst out laughing. “Fuck, yes. Scared the shit out of me. I almost broke my dick scrambling away from the window.”
“You yelled so loud I swear half the woods woke up.”
“That old dude got an eyeful,” I chuckle. “Probably the best day of his damned deer life.”
Fischl smooths her hand over my pecs. “You’re right. We do have it good. I won’t forget that.”
“And it’ll get better.” It’s a vow I’ll make come true.
CHAPTER 18
FISCHL
“Hey.” I step into Sebastian’s office. I mouth a sorry when I see his phone pressed to his ear.
“I’m not sure, Mother.” I inwardly groan. Sebastian's mother has a way of putting us all in a shit mood. “We’ll have to talk about it later. Fischl and I are still playing catch-up with the new branch.” He pauses for a long second. “Actually, something just came up. I’ll have to call you back.” He doesn’t wait for her to respond, ending the call quickly. “She’s becoming relentless.” Sebastian tosses his phone down.
“I’m sorry.” I sit down in the chair in front of his desk. We haven't talked about this. Before Cooper came barreling back into my life, I was supposed to be considering actually marrying Sebastian. His mom had been pushing for us to do so. I’m sure he’s not looking forward to telling her we’re not really a couple. He’ll probably never hear the end of it.
“It’s fine.” Sebastian runs his hand through his hair, letting me know he’s extra frustrated. The man spends more time on his hair than I do.
“I really am. You’ve done so much for me and—”
“Don’t.” He cuts me off. “You’ve done the same for me, Fischl. The money is nothing compared to everything else you’ve done for Sadie and me.”
“I don’t think I would have ever agreed,” I admit.
“You wouldn’t have. I can see why now.” He leans back in his chair, giving me a soft smile. “You're in love. Never stopped being that way.”
“No matter how much I tried to convince myself.” I shake my head. I tried to make myself believe it was only anger I had left inside of me. But deep down, that fire burned for Cooper still.
“Because you knew, didn’t you? On some level.” He leans forward, putting his elbows on his desk. “That you’d end up together?”
“Maybe. I don’t know. It always felt wrong to agree to marry anyone.” As though I was betraying Cooper in some way.
“You didn’t even date.” Everything felt wrong without Cooper.
“Hey, you haven’t either.”
“But I still get my needs met.” He smirks.
“What? When? You’re keeping secrets now?” Sebastian hasn’t told me about any of this.
“I guess old habits die hard.” Shit. I hate that he hides who he really is. “Watching you with him. It has me thinking.”
“Oh?” I perk up. Both he and Sadie have been melancholy over the last few weeks. Van and Dunc keep themselves busy. They haven’t gotten into it again, but I know the two of them don’t like each other.
“I want it. What you have.” My heart breaks for him. We have had each other, but it still can get lonely.
“You deserve it.” I mean that from the depths of my heart. Sebastian deserves to find the type of love that Coop and I share.
“Thanks.” I get up to go around his desk and give him a hug. “Did you need something?” he asks.
