A Life Completed (Hard Time Series Book 5)

Mellowed

LENA POV

"I mean you think we did the right thing. Letting her go off to college six hours away knowing how fucking impulsive she is?"

"She's not as bad as she used to be. You know that." I say as we had stopped at hotel for the night since both of us were rather beat. The week had been exhausting getting two kids ready for college, helping Jude and Olivia babysit Amelia while they worked, getting things together for Andrew since he was starting kindergarten, taking Callie back and forth to her outpatient treatment, and getting Baby Stef ready for high school. We were grateful that Miss Rose and my father offered to look after the kids tonight for Stef and I needed one night of good sleep and some alone time. 

Washing my face I look over at her as she combs her long blonde hair and I know she is still rather torn up about Frankie. It was hard not to be for these kids were her heartbeats and always had been.

"I know. It was an excuse so I could go back and get her." She laughs. "But I hope she does well. I hope it makes her swim not sink."

"I'm sure she will, she is a smart kid Stef and she is very passionate about the career choice she chose. I can't see her messing that up. Plus, it's good her and Mariana have each other. They can look out for each other."

"In good ways I hope."

"Yes in good way. Frankie grew tremendously in the last few years. Her and Mariana. And you."

"Me?" She laughs putting her hair back in a long braid as I rinse out my washcloth.

"Yes, you Mama Tiger. You forget."

"Forget what? That half my memory was zapped."

"No smart ass. You forget how you were when we first got out. You were rough. And, you have mellowed."

"Mellowed? Ugh well that's not good." Shes scuffs rolling her eyes and I can't help but laugh at her. Walking over to the bed she follows as we take a seat and I apply lotion to my arms.

"Why so?" 

"Well, you didn't fall in love with me because I was mellow. Now did you?"

"I fell in love with you almost mm 15 years for many reasons.  It wasn't because you were some prison leader or that you were tough. It was because of your heart.  I saw through all that toughness despite how scared I was of you. I saw how sensitive you were, how much you loved and fought for your children, how much you still do, how you tried to help people with their problems and tried to help all those girls in there.  I fell in love with Stefanie Adams Foster. Not the leader of the Lion's Den. I fell in love with the person you are, not what the prison made you. Not what your father made you or the life you lead made you. But you. And you have a beautiful heart, a beautiful soul and I love you more and more each day." Seeing tears run down her cheek I lean in and wipe them for her as I feel her hands tangle in my fingers.

"I love you too. And I wish I could word things that well."

"You word them in your own way. You always have. So, mellow is not a bad thing. You have learned how to be apart of society. I can see it with how you relate to people now, how to speak to people. Yes, that tough side of you is there and always will be. There's nothing wrong with that but you worked hard this last decade. And just like you are proud of Frankie I'm proud of you."

"Thank you."

"Of course." I wink rubbing her fingers as I lean in and kiss her lips softly. "And after all these years the sex is still good."

"Oh really now?" Raising her eyebrow at me I nod my head and look deep into her eyes. She knew the look I was giving her well as I untied my robe letting it fall off my shoulders to reveal my naked body underneath as her eyes roamed all over. "Damm woman. You are still hot as fuck. The years have not aged you one bit."

"MM, you either."

"Please! Aside from that stroke which put these white streaks in my hair that won't even take to hair dye I have enough wrinkles for this entire building."

" I see no wrinkles. I see beauty. You look just as you did when I met in the hallway of Chowchilla." Gently I stroke her face as she kisses my finger softly smiling.

"MM when you dropped your tea bag." She whispers into my mouth as I lift her tank up and feel her hands rub up my sides inside my robe. Sh can only kiss my bare shoulder as I move my head to side giving her full access to my neck. Feeling her run her tongue over the tattoo of her name which was still very prevalent she squeezes my ass cheeks tight. "I remember that day and you were soo cute and I wanted you for lunch."

"I remember. And the pudding you gave me."

"Yeah? The offer I gave you to thank me." Seductively she continues to suck on my neck as she gently pushes me onto the bed hovering over me. Sliding her pants down she opens my robe completely as her hands run up my stomach and down to my middle. "Did I make you wet even then. Tell me honey did I?"

"Yes. Very much so." I moan feeling her slide her fingers inside my wet pussy. "I was."

"Yeah I knew you were. So was I. I wanted to fuck you so bad each and every day." Kissing  down to my tits she thrust her fingers into me harder and harder as I grab and yank her blonde hair roughly. "And I remember how much you moaned when I ate you out the first time that night. You're moans woke that prison and made me leak like nothing else. Fuck baby."

"Lick me. Please like that first time. Please baby...."I beg as she now stares at me smirking a bit and I feel her gently spread my legs open a bit more.  Pressing and squeezing my fingers into her strong arms I'd give anything to feel her forever as we had so much passion much like we did when we first met.

"Yeah? Like that first time huh? You opened your legs fast for me then baby. You know that?" She moans into my mouth as I feel her hands all over my thighs that it's making me nuts. God is it ever as I open my eyes seeing her staring soo hard into mine. Gently I cup her cheek as my other hand runs all over her back and ass.

"You, you are so beautiful Stefanie Marie."

"So are you. Let me make love to you. All night my love."

"Yes. Please...." I moan again literally begging her as she runs her finger over my wet clit gently and slides it in and out tasting it. "Please...baby.." I beg once more closing my eyes from pleasure as I feel her move between my legs licking me out like the very first time all over again. "Baby....
