They fell onto the bed in a tangle of arms, legs, ardent kisses, and a need for each other that felt more powerful than their first time together as husband and wife. He moved over her, positioning himself between her legs. “Odessa,” he said through husky breaths, “I didn’t stay married to you because you saved my life.” He kissed her neck, her jawline, and lowered his head to take a taut nipple into his mouth. He suckled at her breast as she moved restlessly against him, urging her husband to enter her, but he would not, he had more to say. “I stayed married to you because you saved me. I am happy to go to work every morning and come home every night to you. I want a family with you Odessa.” He captured her mouth with his own and positioned himself to enter.
Her hands were everywhere as she stroked the muscles of his broad shoulders. Felt the strength and power of his thighs as hers rested upon his. Such a large and powerful man, yet he was gentle with her. “Saxton, before we bring children into this world, I would like to help some of the ones who are already here.”
Saxton was tired of talking, there was love to be made. “Enough talk,” he said as he raised his knee to strike the first blow in their lovemaking by smacking her on the ass. This was his signal to her that he was ready. Odessa was not. There was something on her mind and she needed to talk to her husband about it.
“No,” she said as she pushed at his chest, “we need to talk about taking a cruise.” Saxton knew more than one way to shut her up. He used his fingers to explore her softest regions. His lips made a trail down her belly, nipping at her inner thighs with his teeth. Odessa was prattling on about cruise lines, the Women’s Justice League and contacting Lizzie, when Saxton’s fingers plunged deep. His mouth covered her intimate spot as his warm tongue and breath went to work. “Good grief,” she said as she began to move against his mouth along with the passion he was igniting inside of her. All thoughts of Lizze and children went out the window. His mouth was magical and her body was heating up. She grappled at his shoulders, trying to reach for his arms to pull him upwards. Saxton understood what she wanted, he would give it to her.
Looking down at her, as he balanced himself on one arm, he lifted her hip and plunged into her, filling her up with the possibility of life. Her breath caught as he moved inside of her slowly, kissing her, bringing her body to a fevered pitch. “You feel so amazing,” he whispered in her ear as he withdrew, plunged deeper, and withdrew again. It felt as if his heart was constricting with the thought of nearly losing her again tonight. The love he felt for her frightened him but he was beyond caring. Odessa was the center of his world. What he felt from the moment he met her was all that mattered. She made him smile on that street corner and she made him smile every day. Being inside her made him feel things he thought had long died in his soul. He wanted every intimate moment between them to be perfect.
He intensified the pace when he felt her tightening around him. He wanted her unbridled. Although he tried to be gentle, she would have none of it. He reached his hand in between them and stroked the hooded lady at the head of her love. She let herself go. Odessa clawed at his shoulders as she thrust her hips upwards to meet and match each of his strokes. Saxton’s breathing had become labored as he began his big finish. Dear Lord did that man love a big finish! Each thrust from his hips pushed her further across the king sized bed and the slippery satin sheets. Her small arms clung around his neck as he growled out words of encouragement to her, “let go, Baby, that’s it, yes, a little bit more Sweetie, come on, almost there, almost......” She cried out his name and clung to him as he pumped furiously to give her everything he had while she rolled her hips through her release. A deep growl emanated from his chest, rolled in his throat as he gritted his teeth and contorted his face. He rounded his shoulders as his orgasm rippled through his body. Saxton slammed his pelvis against hers, several times, shuddering at the intensity of his release.
He collapsed on top of her, feeling spent, energized and exhausted all at the same time. Saxton Blakemore had worried about his wife witnessing him in action as an agent, but he still had not addressed it with her. Maybe it was insignificant and he should just let sleeping ligers, lie sleeping. Odessa held him close, holding his cheek in her hand. “Saxton,” she said.
“Yes, Baby,” he mumbled as he closed his eyes, inhaling the essence of her.
“Seeing you go all 007....” She paused as he opened his eyes to wait for her admonishment of him killing six men two days ago. The air in between them was charged as he nearly held his breath waiting for her words. “Saxton, the first thing that came to my mind when you came off that building all ninja, drunken-monkey style was,” he exhaled, feeling almost fearful, “Oh My Ghhherrrrrrrrd, look at my sexy ass man do that secret agent spy shit!”
Saxton burst into laughter. Only his wife. Odessa Blakemore had survived the shopping excursion from hell while still maintaining her sense of humor. “Has that Valium kicked in yet?” He kissed her on the lips, gently, rubbing the side of her face. “I think you need to go to sleep, it has been a hell of a week.”
“But, Saxie......” she countered with the nickname she heard his Grammy use, but he was exhausted.
“Say goodnight, Mrs. Blakemore.”
“Goodnight.”
