Chapter 39
Will
We ended up spending the night in Cambridge since the weather was icy, Avery was tired, and it was pretty late when we finished dinner. The surprise couldn’t have gone any better, and we spent the plane ride back holding hands, with Ella’s head resting on my shoulder. When we landed, Ella told me she had plans to spend the day with her parents, and by the time she got off the phone with them to let them know she was almost there, they had invited me to come along with them for the day.
The visit with her parents was much better than the last. Her father wasn’t the same man who constantly picked fights with Ella and drove her to the point where she was considering cutting him off completely. The heart attack had really affected him, and he spent his day playing with Avery, laughing with his daughters, and smiling the whole time. Not once did he bring up business, or law school for that matter. Later in the afternoon, Ella’s parents both approached me and handed me a wrapped box.
“We wanted to give you something special to welcome you to our family,” Ella’s mom said.
Ella sat to the side, smiling and watching as I unwrapped the gift. Inside was an old carved wooden box with a latch and key. I opened the box to find a carved ivory pipe inside. It was obvious this thing was really old.
“That was my great-grandfather’s pipe,” Ella’s father said. “He acquired it when he was overseas with the military. It has changed hands through the generations, and since I have no boys, you are the lucky recipient. They say the pipe is lucky and whoever has hold of it will have a life filled with love and laughter.”
“Thank you so much, sir,” I said, standing and shaking his hand. “I will take very good care of this pipe.”
The gift was a complete surprise, but it only cemented the feeling that things between me and Ella and her family were really starting to be amazing. I felt like Ella’s significant other for the first time in public, and it was even more exciting than I had thought it would be. We actually acted like a family, and when Avery needed something, he went straight to Ella. When we were done with dinner with Ella’s family, we said good-bye to everyone and Ella came back with me to my place.
When we got inside, I took care of Avery’s bath while Ella sat down on the couch and rested. The last few days had really tired her out, and I didn’t blame her. Between the flights back and forth, purchasing the new house, and spending time with Ella’s family, I was exhausted as well. I smiled, thinking about how it was going to be with another child in the mix. Exhaustion had never sounded so exciting.
When Avery was done with his bath, he went out into the living room and curled up next to Ella, resting his head in her lap. She smiled up at me, rubbing her hand through his hair. Before he could fall asleep, she walked him into his room and put him to bed, reading him a story until he fell asleep. She smiled at me as she closed his door and stretched with a yawn, walking down into the living room and curling up next to me.
“Our life is going to be really different in Cambridge,” she said. “We’re going to have a big house, a big yard, and we’ll finally start having a normal existence.”
“We’re going to have to furnish that place.”
“I look forward to it,” she said. “I really like that kind of stuff. Just show me where to go and I’m all over it.”
“I didn’t know you like to decorate like that,” I said, surprised. “I’m always finding out new and amazing things about you. I like it.”
“We have many years ahead of us to learn about each other,” she said, smiling up at me.
I reached over and rubbed my hand across her belly, which was now poking out a little more than before. You still wouldn’t know she was pregnant if she didn’t tell you, but I noticed, and I loved feeling that life growing inside her. She took a deep breath and smiled as we sat there.
“I can’t wait until the baby comes,” she said.
“Me too,” I replied. “What do you think? A boy or a girl?”
“A girl, definitely,” she said.
“Really? Why?”
“I don’t know. I just know,” she said. “Why? You think a boy?”
“I honestly have no idea,” I said, laughing. “I was just curious because they say you women know these things.”
“Did Megan know what Avery was going to be?”
“She did.” I chuckled. “She bought a blue onesie the second month and said, ‘I already know.’”
“That’s awesome,” she said, smiling. “I think I do, too. I want to tell you that you, Avery, and this baby are the best things that have ever happened to me.”
“I’m so excited for our future together,” I said, turning to her. “I never thought I would have a second chance at love, but here I am, completely enamored by you, and I cannot wait for our lives to get started.”
She kissed me on the lips and then leaned back and smiled. I brushed the hair from her face and thought about how much I loved this woman. Ella leaned back in and kissed me again.
“Take me to bed,” she whispered.
“It would be my pleasure.”
We walked back to my room and closed the door, but things this time were not the same as they had been before. Ella excused herself to the bathroom and told me to get comfortable; she would be right back. I smiled and watched her disappear into the bathroom before turning and starting to get undressed. I took off my clothes down to my boxers and adjusted myself, not wanting my dick to be a mile high when she walked out. I was so attracted to her, but tonight I wanted to show her just how much I loved her.
I climbed on the bed and sat up, my back pressed against the headboard and the covers pulled up to my waist. I turned toward the bathroom as the door opened and Ella walked out looking absolutely radiant. Her hair was down in soft curls around her shoulders, her cheeks were rosy, and her skin glowed. She wasn’t wearing her jeans and sweater anymore. She was wearing a pink negligee, her curves sexy and soft.
She flipped off the light and walked toward the bed before crawling across it and straddling me. She leaned forward and kissed my lips. My hands ran down her back and held onto her tightly at the waist. She let her weight come down on me, and I felt the warmth between her legs with my cock even through my boxers.
Our lips moved against each other, taking our time to feel each other, to taste each other, to meld our bodies into one. Ella was in no hurry, and neither was I. I enjoyed having her as close as I could possibly get her. As our kiss heated up, Ella begin to move on top of me. Her hips rotated, feeling the girth of my cock between her legs, rubbing her wet, hot pussy up and down my shaft. She whimpered into my mouth as her body writhed faster over top of me. I could feel the passion igniting between us, yet the tender and gentle touch was still there. I gripped her hips harder and met her with my own thrusts as we ground against each other on top of the sheets.
Ella became more and more strained, her whimpers turning to moans and her breath picking up to a fevered pitch. She sat up and ground deeply into me, grabbing my hands and running them up her tits. I grabbed onto them and massaged as she pushed her hips down and along my now rock-solid shaft. I watched her beautiful body twist and turn, pulling itself toward oan rgasm. She put her hands down on her thighs and rocked back and forth, fast and hard, until she arched her back and threw her head backward. She twitched on top of me, and I could feel the warmth expand in her pink satin panties.
I grabbed her by the waist and laid her down on the bed before turning her onto her side and sliding my hand up under her nightgown. I pulled her panties off and then reached down, doing the same with my boxers. I grabbed my cock, running my hand up and down while my other hand grasped her breast. I lifted her top leg into the air and slid my cock through the gap, sliding through her juices and thrusting upward inside her. She moaned loudly as I reached forward and thrust my cock deep inside her. I groaned, feeling her tight, wet pussy wrapped around my dick. I pushed my feet against the headboard, giving me the leverage I needed to dive deep inside her over and over again. My hand slowly moved down her stomach and rubbed over her clit, feeling how aroused she was.
Slowly, she rolled forward, pulling me over her back and pushing her ass up into the air. I put my knees down, gripped her waist, and fucked her deep and hard. My hands moved down to her ass and gripped her cheeks, my fingers digging into her skin. I pulled my hand up to her shoulder and pulled her toward me every time my hips came forward. She screamed out, her face down in the bed as our skin slapped together. She was getting closer and closer to orgasm, but I wanted to see her face when she came. I pulled out and turned her over onto her back, pulling her legs up to my sides. I ran my hand down her thigh, up her body, and pushed into her, leaning forward and intertwining my fingers with hers.
I rolled my hips into her body and listened to her as she screamed and moaned in ecstasy. The heat in my belly could no longer be controlled. As Ella thrust her hips up and into me, that heat bubbled over, and I groaned, leaning down and pressing my mouth against hers. I thrust into her deep and hard, and I held myself there, listening as she screamed out and shook with pleasure. Her pussy tightened around my pulsating cock as it spewed my hot seed deep inside her. Our mouths stayed locked together, the vibrations of our moans twisting together.
As our muscles relaxed, she opened her eyes and looked up at me. My heart fluttered and my knees went weak. I reached down and rubbed my hands down her head and to her cheeks. I leaned forward and kissed her softly before rolling to the side and pulling her up onto my chest. She lay there, collecting her breath and slowing her heartbeat, our legs interlocked.
“I love you, Will,” she whispered.
“I love you, too, Ella,” I said back. “Forever.”
