The Courage to Love: The BraveHeart Series Book 2

Chapter 15 - Trent

I haven't felt this unburdened since the day I asked Jehlani to marry me. That woman possessed a power unbeknownst to herself, and the fact that she wasn't as mad as I thought she would be had taken me by surprise. I don't know what it is about finally telling the truth, but when I did, I slept better than I have since this whole Thema situation started. I curled up under my woman's softness and slept like a baby.

When I woke up this morning, I was well-rested and extremely overjoyed about what the day could bring. I looked over at my lovely wife, who was still sleeping, and fell in love all over again. Her amazing scent urged me to scooch in closer to her and wrap my arm around her petite frame, and she made it no better by throwing her little leg over me and locking me in place. The gesture aroused Amir and caused my semi-hard member to start growing, which coerced Nafisa to purr in her sleep.

"I swear I love this woman..." Amir spoke softly about our mate.

"Good morning, my love." She cooed to me while cuddling closer to my chest, which caused my member to be at full attention now.

"Good morning, my darling. How did you sleep?"

"I slept well. How about you?" Her angelic voice was always soothing in the morning when she first woke up. She began to rub my chest with her delicate fingers, and I melted under her touch.

"Laying with you every night and waking up to you every morning is guaranteed great sleep, baby." I placed a kiss on her forehead, and Jehlani finally opened her eyes to reveal her glowing amethysts. I smiled and was, once again, persuaded to make love to her like never before. I began to reposition myself between her legs, but she placed a hand on my chest and hopped up from the bed before I could protest.

"As much as I want to give myself to you, the Umbutus will be here today, and I don't have any time to waste. You may be off today, but I still have to finish the contracts before they arrive." Jehlani leaned up to kiss my nose then sauntered off to the bathroom to begin her morning routine. She didn't even give me a chance to express how badly I wanted her right now, she just hopped up and left me wanting and speechless. My mother always said that only a 'bad' woman possessed that power.

"She is too much..." Amir was getting aroused by the chase. He is a wolf.

Instead of my usual whining and bickering, I stretched out high, then followed Nafisa's essence into the bathroom. When I walked in, Jehlani's tiny body was wrapped in her purple granny robe and her hair was pinned up with some chopsticks. She was standing on her tippy toes in the large mirror putting her homemade cold cream on her face, but she paused for a moment when she saw my naked statuesque frame appear in sight. I thought about putting on my robe and being modest for a change, but I decided to stay naked and tease Jehlani for as long as I could. If she wanted to play hard to get, so could I.

"Two can play that game..." Amir responded.

I began licking my lips slowly and checking myself out in the mirror; I looked damn good to be almost thirty. I felt Jehlani's lingering stare burning into my skin as she nonchalantly glanced up into the mirror every once in a while. I locked my eyes on her through the mirror and waited until her gaze met mine. I spun around and leaned against the marble countertop, revealing my naked glory, and flashed my million-dollar smile at her. I watched pleasantly as she bit the corner of her bottom lip and began fidgeting in place. I broke the glance, turned back to the mirror, and continued my seduction by letting down my thick curls and swinging them from side to side. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jehlani fidgeting with the belt on her robe, fighting the urge to get naked and take me in our bathroom.

"Damn..." She whispered softly, and I chuckled to myself because I was thinking the same thing as an illicit vision of her riding me and losing her fingers in my hair replayed in my mind. The thought made me shiver, and the moment she turned her back to me, I grabbed Jehlani's waist and pulled her into me to taste her lips; not caring about the remaining cream she had left on her face. She melted like candle wax in my hands, and before long, my illicit thought was becoming reality.
