“I should’ve told you about the no kids thing. I tried that night. I’m not sure where you see this going with us.” She swallowed hard and I could tell there were tears she was trying not to shed. “But if kids are something you want in your future, then you shouldn’t count on me to be a part of that.” Her voice sounded thick.

“I want you in my future. We’ll worry about the rest later.”

I leaned over and kissed her softly. She kissed me back harder and in fear of hurting, her I pulled back a little.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“Don’t apologize, sweetie. I just don’t want to hurt you. I’ll give you nothing but soft kisses until you’re all better,” I whispered as I softly kissed the side of her neck.

She sucked in her breath.

“I’m feeling much better now,” she sighed.

I laughed. She was so adorable.            

“No, ma’am, not until you’re completely healed,” I playfully scolded.

“Seriously, I’ve never felt better.” She grabbed my face and started to kiss me.

Vanilla and cherries—Lilly.

I could feel myself getting hard. Images of her face in ecstasy the first time we had sex flashed through my mind and then I went from just being hard to throbbing.

“Are you sure?” I asked in between kisses.

She didn’t answer. Instead, she reached down and palmed my hardness through my pants. I hissed as she nibbled on my bottom lip. I kissed her back hard as she stuck her hand down my pants and wrapped her soft fingers around me.

“It’s so hard and hot,” she whispered in awe.

“That’s what you do to me,” I groaned into her neck.

There was nothing keeping us from having sex anymore and since I knew that no matter what we were going to stay together, I didn’t stop myself.

I rolled her over onto her back and kissed her like I never had before. I stopped just long enough to pull her shirt over her head. Then everything stopped.

I stared down at her and was completely shaken. She was bruised all over. There was one large bruise on her side that actually looked like a shoe imprint. Blind rage rolled through me. I wanted to yell and scream. I wanted to find the son of a bitches that did this to her and I wanted to choke the life out of them.

“What’s wrong?” She asked as she started to cover herself.

I reached up and pulled the blanket from her hands.

“Don’t.” The word felt like sand in my mouth. “Oh God, Lilly.”

I ran my fingers softly over the large bruises all over her body. The small ones on her face didn’t compare.

“They don’t hurt much.” She attempted to smile.

She pulled me down and kissed me again, but all I wanted to do was cry.

“I can’t, baby. It’s too soon. I’d hate myself if I hurt you.”

I started to move away, but she grabbed my arm and pulled me back to her.

“Don’t pull away, Devin, please. I need you to love me. Just make it all go away.” She started to slowly kiss me again.

There was no way I could say no to her.

“We’ll go slow and easy,” I said in between kisses.

We did nothing but kiss and softly rub each other.  I slowly removed her bra and threw it on the floor. Not once did she cover herself and her new confidence turned me on. I went straight for her nipple as I sucked it into my mouth and flicked it with my tongue.

Her breathing was erratic and her hands were in my hair, pressing my mouth to her. I sat up on my knees and pulled my shirt off. She followed me up and started kissing and touching my chest and neck.

“That feels so good,” I rasped.

Somehow I lost control of the situation completely and she had pushed me over onto my back. She kissed and licked me all the way down my chest until she was at the top my pants. Then she roughly started to pull them down. I didn’t stop her. I was hers completely. She could do with me whatever she wanted.

I had no problem letting her have her way with me. Not to mention, with her just getting out of the hospital yesterday, I didn’t want to do anything that was too much for her. I let her take the reins.

Once she won the fight with my pants, she started to go down on me. Before she touched me with her mouth I saw her flinch and make a small noise.  I stopped her.

“Are you OK?” I leaned up on my elbows and asked.

“I’m fine, just lay back.” She pushed me back.

When she attempted to bend down I saw that she was in pain.
