The Kane Cross (Cross 1)

38 - First

Even Baxter felt weird as Charles showed them to their room. At least he didn't show them to two separate rooms. Once behind closed doors, his gaze moved over Ivy. She looked breathtaking in her tight jeans and sweater. It was a pale blue he remembered from Aspen.

"We haven't spent the night together since last March. I'll be content just to hold you in my arms."

"Aspen. It's a magical place. I'm afraid if we go back the magic will end."

He smiled. "You believe in the magic?"

She shook her head. "Together we make magic. I will always love you."

He stepped to her and pulled her to him. "I will always love you."

With the words said, their mouths found each other, and they lost themselves. Baxter's goal was to show her how much he loved her. It was the wrong night to decide to undress her. Frustrated, he demanded, "Take off those damn jeans. I mean very sexy, tight jeans."

She threw her head back and laughed. "I was wondering where my Baxter was."

Her laughter and words made him harder. So fucking hard. With an entire night, they took their time. Baxter who always achieved what he wanted made her come four times. When he pulled her in his arms to sleep, he had a smug smile on his face. Breathing her in, he buried his face in the space between her shoulder and ear. Sleep came quick and deep in his favorite place ever.

When he woke, she was still asleep with her leg thrown over him. It would be so easy to slip his hard rod in as his fingers found her wet silky, sensitive flesh. He would have to get up for a condom. Always prepared, he had brought some on his date. Baxter felt like a teenager as he remembered a few empty homes with parents out and the dorms at North Hill Academy. Thinking back, the names and faces were all a blur.

Ivy had said trust. In his heart and mind, he trusted her completely. She said she was on birth control and he believed her. Deep within he didn't trust himself. Would he take the hard road his father never took? He loved his parents, so earning their disfavor would be hard. Still, he had his own ammunition.

As he sighed, Ivy opened her eyes. "Are you going to follow through with that finger?" He answered with his mouth.

When he moaned about getting up, Ivy sat up. "I'll get it, I have to go first, anyway."

He watched as she walked naked across the room. So beautiful and amazingly wonderful. He could not lose her.

As he pinned her to the mattress and thrusted inside of her, he kept repeating three words. When her neck arched backwards, he put his face on it and came right along with her. "God, I love you."

She giggled. "So I heard. I was too busy having an orgasm to respond. I love you too. Let's face Jimmy. I'm hungry."

Pink colored in her cheeks, she was embarrassed. He loved how her shyness mixed in with her bold qualities. When he heard the shower running, he resisted the urge to join her, because they would never eat. Instead Baxter dressed, so he could go back home to make an appearance and shower. Then he would come back with some work. They could spend the day at Jimmy's or his office. He didn't care as long as they were together.

Baxter wasn't used to not having anything to do as he waited for Ivy. His phone needed a charge so he couldn't waste time scrolling through whatever popped up. With his eyes trained on the bathroom door, she appeared. His heart raced before it calmed into the thought that she picked him. Others would view it the other way around. He picked her, but he knew he wasn't without flaws. Ivy saw them and loved him, anyway.

"Are you ready?" She smiled. He nodded and stood up from the bed. Ivy walked over and pulled on the covers. "You looked like you had the weight of the world on your shoulders.
