Forever Almost

Chapter 29

The next morning, Taylor stirred awake, her body aching in ways she had never felt before. She winced as she shifted slightly, the soreness from the previous night's intensity making her move cautiously. But despite the discomfort, a warm blush spread across her cheeks as the memories flooded back—Travis's hands on her, his voice thick with emotion, the way he had claimed her over and over until she could do nothing but surrender completely to him.

She glanced to her side and saw him still asleep, his face peaceful and content, a stark contrast to the fiery passion he had shown last night. Taylor's heart swelled with affection as she gazed at him, the words "I love you" slipping from her lips before she could stop them.

At the sound of her voice, Travis's eyes slowly opened, a sleepy smile spreading across his lips as he looked up at her. "I love you too," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep but filled with a deep sincerity that made her heart flutter.

Without giving her a chance to respond, he pulled her closer, his strong arms wrapping around her as he drew her on top of him. Taylor's breath caught in her throat as she felt his arousal pressing against her, and she knew exactly what he wanted. Even though her body ached, a thrill of anticipation ran through her, and she couldn't help but smile at the look in his eyes—filled with love, need, and a hunger that hadn't been fully sated the night before.

"You're not getting away from me that easily," Travis whispered, his hands sliding down to grip her hips as he urged her to rise. "I'm not done with you yet."

Taylor's blush deepened as she slowly positioned herself over him, her body still sensitive from the night before. She hesitated for a moment, the ache between her legs a reminder of just how intense their lovemaking had been. But the way Travis looked at her, with a mixture of tenderness and raw desire, made her want to give him everything.

As she slowly lowered herself onto him, she gasped at the familiar sensation, her body stretching to accommodate him. Travis let out a low groan, his hands tightening on her hips as he guided her movements. "That's it, baby," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "You're so perfect... I love you so much."

Taylor's heart swelled at his words, and she began to move, starting slowly at first, her body still adjusting to the feeling of him inside her. But as she found her rhythm, the pleasure began to build once more, mingling with the lingering soreness in a way that only heightened the experience.

"I missed you so much," Travis murmured, his voice rough with need as he gazed up at her. "Every day without you was hell."

Taylor leaned down, her lips brushing against his in a tender kiss. "I missed you too," she whispered against his lips, her voice filled with emotion. "I thought about you every day, Travis."

His grip on her tightened, and he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against hers in a dance that mirrored the movement of their bodies. "I'll never let you go again," he vowed, his voice low and fierce as he pulled back to look into her eyes. "You're mine, Taylor. No one else's. Just mine."

His possessiveness sent a shiver down her spine, and she moaned softly as his hands moved to her breasts, caressing and teasing her sensitive nipples. The pleasure was overwhelming, and she knew she was close to the edge once more.

"Travis," she gasped, her voice breathless as she rode him faster. "I'm going to..."

"Do it," Travis urged, his voice rough with desire as he thrust up to meet her movements. "Come for me, baby. I want to feel you."

His words sent her over the edge, and with a soft cry, Taylor felt herself unravel, her body shaking as waves of pleasure washed over her. Travis followed closely behind, his grip on her tightening as he reached his own release, filling her with his warmth. He held her there, their bodies still joined as they both came down from the high, their breathing heavy and synchronized.

When it was over, Travis kissed her gently, his lips brushing against hers in a tender caress. "You're so beautiful," he whispered, his voice filled with admiration as he looked at her. "I could stay like this forever."

Taylor blushed at his words, her heart racing as she gazed down at him. "I love you," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "I love you so much, Travis."

Travis's eyes softened at her words, and he reached up to gently caress her stomach, his touch filled with a warmth that made her heart flutter. "You'll know just how much I love you when our baby's right here," he said, his voice filled with quiet confidence as he traced a circle around her navel.

His words brought back a memory that made Taylor's heart skip a beat—a memory she wasn't ready to face just yet. The doctor's words echoed in her mind, and for a brief moment, a shadow crossed her face. But she quickly pushed it aside, not wanting to ruin the moment. Instead, she leaned down to kiss Travis again, her lips lingering on his as if trying to erase her doubts.

Travis, sensing nothing amiss, smiled against her lips and wrapped his arms around her. "Come on," he said, his voice filled with playful affection. "I'll help you move today. I know you're sore, and you probably won't be able to walk after everything we did last night."

Taylor couldn't help but laugh softly at his words, even as she blushed at the memory of their wild night together. She knew he was right—her body ached in ways she hadn't thought possible—but the way he held her, so full of love and tenderness, made her feel like she could take on anything.

With a gentle strength, Travis lifted her from the bed and carried her to the shower, his hands never leaving her skin as he helped her wash away the remnants of their passion. The warm water cascaded over them, soothing her sore muscles, and as they stood there together, Taylor couldn't help but feel a deep sense of contentment.
