CHAPTER 4

“Home, sweet home.” Ian breathed as Kimberly parked in the driveway after gulping down the rest of his coke, a sense of relief evident in his voice. He got out of the car, taking in his surroundings once again after being away for so long, his eyes moving slowly as if reacquainting himself with everything.

Kimberly climbed out of the car and was about to go to the trunk to get Ian’s suitcase when she noticed his outstretched arms. He was standing in front of the car waiting patiently for her, a quiet expectation in his stance. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

“What about your suitcase?” She asked not entirely sure if he wanted her to take his hand at that moment, her gaze briefly shifting between him and the car.

“We can get that later,” he replied with a wide smile, clearly more interested in her than anything else.

Kimberly couldn’t help but smile back, his smile was contagious, instantly easing whatever hesitation she had. She quickly interlaced their fingers as they walked to the porch, she unlocked the door and they went in, stepping into the familiar space together.

“I had the whole place cleaned up,” Kimberly said as they were currently in the living room, watching his reaction carefully.

“No wonder it looks so clean,” Ian said now walking into the kitchen, studying the place like he just bought it, his eyes taking in every detail.

Kimberly knew he was just trying to get familiar with his home all over again. He does that every time so this wasn’t a new sight, she was already used to it. Ian then resurfaced from the kitchen, seeming satisfied.

“Let’s get you settled in,” she said taking his hand and leading him upstairs, her fingers tightening slightly around his as they moved.

When they got to the bedroom, Kimberly dropped her purse on the nightstand and went over to the glass door to open the curtains, letting more light into the room. Their bedroom was cream color with walls made of tiles, the floor was completely covered with a fluffy rug. It had a fireplace directly across the king-sized bed with a large bathroom and walk-in closet, and there was a semi-living area adjacent to the bed, making the space feel both comfortable and spacious.

Kimberly was opening the glass door that led to the balcony to let in fresh air when she felt strong arms around her waist. She smiled at the touch, leaning in even more to feel him, his body pressed against hers in a way she had missed for months.

“I missed you so much, love,” he whispered in her ear, pressing his lips on her neck, causing her to shiver, her body reacting instantly to his touch. He took off his cap from her head, his lips still working on her neck, unhurried and familiar.

“I missed you more.” She breathed as she struggled to suppress her moan, her voice slightly unsteady.

With that statement, he turned her around so she was now facing him as he crashed his lips on hers hungrily kissing her, the urgency between them clear. She kissed him back with the same intensity as she had missed his touch so much and had yearned for it over the past months, her hands moving instinctively.

She let her hands roam his now bare chest not remembering when he took off his uniform shirt before wrapping them securely around his neck, running her fingers through his already growing locks. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt his soft brown hair, and the familiarity of it grounded her.

His lips left hers as he swiftly took off her blouse, and his lips returned to her neck sucking on her sweet spot causing her to release a low moan while his fingers found their way to her denim, undoing her buttons before lifting her off the ground and gently placing her on the bed, his movements confident and practiced.

He quickly helped her out of her denim, undoing his pants as well before straddling her. Kimberley captured his lips once more loving how he tasted, she wanted more of him so badly, the longing that had built over time finally being released. His strong yet tender hands roamed her body sending sparks of pleasure through her, making her react to every touch.

“Gosh, I’ve missed these babies!” Ian breathed caressing her now bare breasts making her shiver with excitement, his voice low with desire. He continued kissing and sucking on her nipples while grinding against her driving her internally crazy, her body responding without restraint.

“Ian…” She moaned, her voice soft but filled with need.

That was the signal he needed to make him rip her underwear and slowly insert himself inside her causing her to shriek in pure delight, digging her nails into his skin as she held onto him. She had missed this feeling of having Ian inside her filling her with all of him, the connection between them overwhelming in that moment, she moaned in pleasure as her lover stroked her lovingly, their movements in sync.

They were both sweating and breathing heavily after their lovemaking which lasted for quite a while, their bodies slowly calming down from the intensity. Ian wrapped his arms around Kimberly bringing her body closer to him, not wanting to create any distance between them.

“I love you,” she said placing her hand on his, her voice soft but certain.

“I love you more,” he replied with a smile placing a kiss on her hair and nuzzling her neck, his tone relaxed and content.

They both stayed quiet after that, enjoying the calm that followed, before Kimberly noticed that Ian’s breathing had become steady indicating that he had fallen asleep, leaving her resting quietly in his arms.
