Defying Gravity (Healing Hearts Book 2) by Laura Farr (13)

My heart was pounding as he carried me. I’d waited so long for this to happen, I could barely believe it was real. Nerves swirled in my stomach at the thought of finally being with him and I kissed his neck, tracing my tongue over his skin. He moaned as his hands gripped me tighter. Lifting my head, my mouth found his and he kissed me with an intensity I’d never known before. Pulling away, he peppered kisses down my neck, and I dropped my head to the side, allowing him better access as goose bumps erupted on my skin.

Before I knew it, we were in my bedroom and he was laying me on the unmade bed, his body gently pushing me down into the mattress. He kissed me again, his tongue brushing against my bottom lip. I opened up to him and his tongue dueled with mine. His jean-clad leg pushed against the thin material of my panties and I gasped in pleasure as he pushed his leg harder against me. “Josh,” I moaned into his mouth.

“What do you need baby?” he asked with a chuckle as he moved his kisses from my mouth, down my neck, to my chest. My breathing became labored and I was unable to answer him as he found my nipple and sucked it into his mouth, his tongue flicking against it. I arched my back, wanting to get as close to him as possible. Everything was extra sensitive now that I was pregnant, and I knew if he continued, I was going to come just from his mouth on me. I hadn’t noticed that one of his hands had moved down my body until I felt him trying to tug my panties down my legs. Releasing my nipple from his mouth with a pop, he sat back on his heels and used both hands to slowly remove my underwear. I was panting by then, and I whimpered as his fingers brushed the insides of my thighs.

“You look so beautiful Savannah,” he said softly, bending my leg and kissing around my knee. “I can’t wait to see you fall apart.” His kisses trailed up the inside of my thigh, all concerns of being naked in front of him forgotten as he kissed his way closer to where I needed him. I gasped as his mouth made contact with where my panties had been, my head thrashing from side to side. My hands gripped the comforter as Josh continued, and I cried out as I felt him gently push a finger inside me. He slowly moved his finger in and out, and I moaned again.

“More,” I begged, reaching my hands down to his head, my fingers gripping his hair as I pushed him closer against me. He inserted another finger and began pumping in and out, his mouth still on me. “God, don’t stop!” I exclaimed, my legs involuntarily tightening around his head, trapping him between my legs. I felt him chuckle against me and a heat, the intensity of which I’d never felt before, began to build in the pit of my stomach. Josh, somehow sensing that I was close, increased the speed of not only his fingers but his tongue too, and I exploded against his mouth. I moaned his name over and over as I rode the wave of the most powerful orgasm I’d ever experienced.

I relaxed back into the bed, dropping my shaky legs from the sides of his head. He moved up my body, lavishing kisses all over my slightly rounded stomach. Eventually he kissed his way up my whole body until he found my mouth, and I kissed him hungrily, tasting myself on his lips. He lay to the side of me so his weight wasn’t pressing down on my stomach. His leg was thrown over mine, and I could feel his erection pressing hard against my leg. His hand was in my hair, holding my mouth to his. My heart was pounding and my breathing was labored again by the time he pulled away, the fire in the pit of my stomach stirring as his mouth dropped to my ear and he whispered, “That was incredible Sav. I’ve dreamed about doing that to you.” His breath tickled my neck and I shivered in his arms. “Can I make love to you?” he asked, kissing my ear and down my neck. I nodded, unable to speak, afraid that if I did, I would somehow ruin it and he’d suddenly disappear.

He stood up and quickly removed his t-shirt, leaving him in just his jeans. I sat up and watched him, his eyes never leaving mine as his hands reached for the button of his jeans. My eyes dropped as I watched him undo all the buttons, gasping when I realized he wasn’t wearing any underwear. Pushing his jeans down his legs, his erection sprang free, and I swallowed nervously. I obviously wasn’t a virgin, but the guys I’d slept with had meant nothing to me. Josh, on the other hand, meant everything, and I didn’t want to mess it up.

He must have noticed my apprehension as I saw him frown, his face full of concern. He sat on the bed and took my hand. “Is everything okay? We don’t have to do this, we can wait.”

“No, no, I want to,” I rushed out, gripping his hand. “It’s just, I’ve never been with anyone I’ve had feelings for.” I paused, looking down at our joined hands. “I don’t want to mess it up.”

“Look at me Savannah,” he said softly, and I raised my head, my eyes meeting his. “You could never mess this up. It will be perfect, because you’re perfect.”

I smiled at his words and he gently pushed me back on the bed so I was lying beneath him. He kissed me again, gently to begin with, but it soon became heated and I snaked my hands into his hair. As he kissed around my jaw and down my neck, my breathing became ragged again. His mouth found my nipple and his fingers massaged my other breast as he worked me up to a boiling point once more. Releasing my nipple from his mouth, he positioned his erection between my legs, and then he pushed inside me. I gasped at the sting I felt as he slowly filled me. When his hips met mine, he suddenly stilled. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I won’t hurt the baby, will I?” he asked breathlessly.

“No, Josh, please move,” I begged, wiggling my hips in an attempt to get him to continue. Chuckling, he pulled out, gently thrusting into me. He did this four or five times, my body moving with his in a perfect rhythm. His gentle movements were pushing me closer to a second orgasm, but I needed more; I could tell he was holding back, afraid he would hurt me. “Harder Josh.” I breathed against his lips. “I won’t break.”

“Okay baby,” he whispered before kissing me again, his tongue forcing its way into my mouth. He slowly increased the speed of his thrusts, and I whimpered as he pulled almost completely out before slamming his hips against mine. My orgasm was getting closer and I moaned as he bent his head, taking my nipple into his mouth again. God, what this man could do with his tongue was incredible, and I never wanted him to stop. I began to notice that his breathing was becoming more labored and his movements more urgent. I felt his hand reach between my legs and flick my clit, which pushed me over the edge, and I called out his name again as I came, my body erupting around him. My orgasm triggered his as he thrust once more before exploding inside me, his body shuddering as he dropped down on top of me, being careful not to put his weight on my stomach. I could feel his heart racing in his chest, his breaths coming in pants. A thin layer of sweat covered our bodies, and I reached my arms around him, holding him against me. After a few minutes, he lifted his head, kissing me softly.

“God Sav, that was amazing,” he said, grinning at me.

“It really was.” I kissed his lips again and smiled back at him. His eyes shone with love, and I could barely believe something I’d waited years for had actually happened.

“Shit!” he exclaimed, looking down between our bodies. “I was so caught up with finally being with you, I didn’t use a condom!”

“Well I don’t think I can get any more pregnant than I already am,” I said with a small smile.

“I’m clean, I promise.” He looked worried as he waited for me to say something.

“Me too. I got tested when I found out I was pregnant. It’s fine.” I watched as he breathed a sigh of relief, and I wasn’t sure if he was worried I’d be mad he’d forgotten the condom or if he was relieved that I was clean. He slowly moved off me and I winced at the delicious sting that was left behind.

“Did I hurt you?” he asked with a frown.

I shook my head. “No, it’s just been a while. I’m okay,” I told him with a grin. He kissed me again before climbing off the bed, and I sat up on my elbows and watched his fine ass as he padded across the room to the bathroom. He came back with a washcloth and gently cleaned between my legs, his eyes never leaving mine. Throwing the cloth into the corner of the room, he climbed back into bed and pulled me into his arms. With my head resting on his hard, naked chest, we lay in silence for a few minutes, his fingers trailing up and down my arm.

“So…next time, we don’t have to worry about a condom then?” he asked quietly. I could see a small smirk on his face when I tilted my head to look at him. “I’ve never gone bare before. You felt amazing Sav.”

“So, there’ll definitely be a next time?” I asked him, my head dropping back onto his chest. I knew he’d told me he wanted to be with me and I wanted to believe him, but I was scared—scared of getting hurt, of letting him in and then having him change his mind. I didn’t want to assume that just because we’d slept together, anything more would happen. I desperately wanted it to, but I was still wary. He’d hurt me too many times, and I knew it would be a while before I fully trusted him.

“Savannah,” he said, waiting for me to look at him. “What do you think is happening here?” he asked when my eyes met his.

“I don’t know Josh. I’ve wanted this for so long, but this past week you’ve been giving such mixed signals. I don’t want to let you in only to have you to hurt me again.” I watched as his eyes flashed with pain before he pulled me closer to him and kissed me on the head.

“We are happening baby. I hate that I’ve hurt you, and I would give anything to change that. I never want to hurt you again. I’ve wanted you since I was 16, I just never allowed myself to believe I could have you. I’m still terrified to think of what the future holds for us, but we will have a future. Now that I’ve had a taste of what it’s like to be with you, I’m not giving you up.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. Although it would take me a while to really believe we could make this work, it was exactly what I needed to hear from him. I reached up, kissing his lips.

“Thank you,” I whispered against his mouth.

“Can I take you out Sav, on a real date? I want to do things the right way, and I want the world to know you’re mine.”

“I’d love that,” I replied as I smiled. Just then a knock sounded on the cottage door and I gasped, suddenly remembering my breakfast arrangements. “I bet that’s my parents—I was supposed to meet them for breakfast.” I quickly sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed, pulling on my yoga pants and a t-shirt. I made my way downstairs and opened the front door, finding my frantic mom on the other side.

“Thank God!” she exclaimed dramatically, rushing inside and flinging her arms around me. “I thought something had happened to you! You never showed up for breakfast, and you weren’t answering your phone.”

“Mom, I’m fine, I just forgot. I’m sorry I worried you.”

“Oh!” she said over my shoulder, amusement evident in her voice. “Well I can see why you might have forgotten about breakfast.” I spun around to see Josh standing at the bottom of the stairs wearing just his jeans, his feet and chest bare. I couldn’t help but smile at him—he looked gorgeous. He smiled back and I heard my mom clear her throat next to me.

“Right, well now that I know you’re okay, I’ll leave you to it,” she said, glancing between Josh and me, a smile pulling at the corners of her mouth. Josh made his way from the foot of the stairs and stood next to me, his arm snaking around my waist. I sagged against him and he kissed the top of my head. “Finally,” I heard my mom say as she turned and walked back through the cottage door. “Oh, and Josh, if you hurt my baby, you’ll have me to deal with,” she said over her shoulder as she walked into the small garden.

“Mom!” I exclaimed, watching as she turned to face me.

She pointed to my stomach. “You’ll understand once that baby’s born.”

“I’m not going to hurt Savannah, Mrs. Parker, you have my word.”

“Good,” she said, winking at me as she turned and headed toward the main house. I felt Josh let out a sigh of relief, and I giggled.

“I guess you can expect the same sort of comments from my dad and Brody too,” I said, teasing him.

“I can’t blame them. If this baby’s a girl, I’m never letting her have a boyfriend. Any boy who comes near her will have to go through me first.” My heart swelled at his words. He was going to make an incredible dad, and it seemed my baby wasn’t going to grow up without a father after all. I reached up on my tiptoes and kissed him softly. The kiss soon turned heated and he picked me up, my legs automatically wrapping around him. He carried me to the sofa and I sat straddling his lap, his lips never leaving mine. After working me up to the point where I was practically panting, he pulled away and rested his forehead against mine. “If we don’t stop now Sav, I’m going to want to be buried deep inside you, and you’re sore.”

I whimpered at his words. “I’m not sore,” I protested, grinding my hips against his hard erection.

“Liar.” He chuckled. He was right, I was sore, but I was past caring. I was so turned on and I needed him. “I don’t want to hurt you baby. Maybe I could stay over tonight and we could pick up from here?”

“You’re such a tease. I’m a pregnant woman—I’ve got needs! And right now, I need you!” I told him as he burst out laughing.

“And I’ll be more than happy to see to those needs later tonight, when I know I won’t hurt you.” I pouted and he laughed again.

“Urghhh! Fine!” I exclaimed, climbing off his lap, my body still on fire. “Where are we going on our date then? It better be good.”

“Wait and see,” he told me. “Go get ready and I’ll tidy up down here.” He swatted my butt as I walked past him up the stairs.

I couldn’t help but grin as I made my way into the bathroom. It was really happening. I’d dreamed about being with Josh for so long, and after that morning, the reality of actually being with him was a hundred times better than my dreams had ever been. I turned the shower on and slipped off my clothes. As the water heated up, I quickly brushed my teeth before climbing in. As the hot water washed over my body, I winced; my hand was still sore and it always hurt when I got it wet. The bandage had been removed, but the wound was still covered with a band-aid. After washing my hair as best as I could with one hand, I closed my eyes and tilted my head back under the spray, enjoying the feeling of the hot water on me. As I did, I heard the bathroom door open.

“Savannah?” Josh called out.

Opening my eyes, I reached for the shower curtain and poked my head out. “Hey, you okay?” I asked him, and he nodded.

“Do you know that your shower curtain is see-through?” he asked, a smile forming on his lips as I watched his eyes roam up and down.

“Is it?” I glanced down to see that the curtain was clinging to my wet body, and was indeed see-through. “Did you need something Josh?” I asked him with a smirk.

“Erm…” He shook his head slightly as his eyes found mine. “Yes, I came to ask if you have school tomorrow?”

“No, I don’t have classes on Mondays. Why?”

“Pack an overnight bag baby,” he said excitedly.

“An overnight bag? Why?” I asked him, confused.

“I’m taking you away for the night,” he told me with a grin, and I smiled back at him.

“Where?”

“Austin. I’ll book us a room.” He backed away toward the door. “Do you need a hand in the shower? You know, while I’m here?” he asked, raising his eyebrows in question.

I slipped back behind the curtain before answering him. “I’m okay, thank you.” I smiled to myself. “I am a bit sore, after all.” I heard him chuckle.

“Now who’s a tease?” he joked, his voice tinged with amusement. I laughed as I heard him leave the bathroom. “Don’t be long sweetheart,” he shouted.

I quickly finished up in the shower, nerves and excitement racing through me. I was looking forward to spending some time alone with him. I’d have been happy staying at the cottage, but knowing he was arranging a trip to Austin for our first date made my heart swell. I just hoped I could keep my eyes open past 8:30pm—I was sure Josh could think of something to keep me awake, and I couldn’t wait.
