Lawless Love

Chapter Five

Jake quietly crept up to the loft to wake Sarah. She was lying on her side, facing away from him and he could see her bare skin. God, she's beautiful. I just want to touch her and hold her. Jake knew her skin would be soft and supple under his touch. Thinking about touching her sent a shot of heat straight to his groin and he groaned. He froze as Sarah stirred in her sleep. He relaxed a little when she didn't wake. He crossed to the bed and knelt down beside her. 

He leaned close to whisper in her ear. "Sarah, darlin'" She stirred slightly. He moved closer, "Duchess, it's time to wake up." She stirred again but opened her eyes this time. She smiled and stretched. "Hello. How long was I asleep?" He sat on the edge of the bed. "Not too long. I just done cooking and figured I should wake you up before it started gettin' cold." She sat up and kissed him on the cheek. "I really appreciate everything that you have been doing lately." They sat together and the heat began to rise. 

Sarah stood,completely aware of his eyes on her. How can he find me attractive right now?  Every bit of me is swollen. Hell, I can't even see my feet. She slid her dress on and turned back to him and he was still staring. He stood and walked over to her. Oh God, his eyes. I love his eyes. I hope our son has his eyes. He took another step forward, closing the distance between them. There was a spark that shot right through them both. He pulled her against him and caught her lips with his. He kissed her hard and a moan escaped her mouth before she could stop it. He grinned wickedly at her reaction. Oh, please don't stop.

As if he heard her thoughts, he led her to the bed. He wasn't done with her yet. He tugged her dress over her head and he stood back, admiring her naked body. God damn I still can't believe she's mine. He stripped off his shirt and jeans. He stood before her, waiting for her to do or say something. All she could do was stare. Oh my, to think he's all mine. She grabbed his hands and pulled him to her again. She kissed him and started backing up until the bed touched the back of her knees. 

They both sat, not taking their hands or lips off of each other. He gently caressed her breast with his rough, calloused hands. Another moan escaped her lips but this time she didn't try to stop it. He smiled and repeated his assault on the other. "Oh God Jake, please don't stop." He didn't plan on stopping. She ran her hands down his chest down his happy trail. He closed his eyes at her touch. He laid down, bringing her with him. He laid her in front of him and took her from behind. She moaned as he entered. 

They started moving together, matching their pace. His hands were moving all over her and all she could do was let him. She turned her head to kiss him and his lips feverishly assaulted hers. "Oh God! Oh Jake!" He felt her tighten around him and he quickened his pace, bringing her to her climax. She screamed his name over and over. He buried his face in the back of her neck and found his own release.

They laid breathless for a few minutes, still holding on to each other. They stared coming down from their high, Sarah rolled over so she could face her husband. She ran her hand through his hair and kissed him. "I hate to ruin the moment but I'm starving." He smiled and sat up, helping her up so she didn't move too fast. He stood and put his jeans back on, leaving his shirt on the floor. He helped her stand and helped her with her dress. "Thank you dear." They went to the ladder and he climbed first so he could help her if she needed it.

The dogs met them at the bottom. Lafitte started dancing and whining. Sarah reached down and gave him a scratch. "Yes boy, you're a good dog!" Rouser jumped up for attention, making Lafitte growl. The pup got down and laid by the door. "It looks like he knows who's boss." Sarah didn't like it but she had to agree. "Yes it would seem that way. I still don't care for it but he does need to learn." She sat at the table while he got her a plate of food. "Thank you Jake. It looks delicious." He sat his plate on the table and sat across from her. They ate in silence, occasionally looking at each other.

She sat back in her chair, full from dinner. "That was very good. I think I ate far too much." Jake was proud of that. "That's a good thing. Now I know you both had enough to eat." He offered his hand and she gladly accepted. He led her to the rocking chair he built her when she started showing. She loved to rock, sewing and knitting. He sat next to her in his chair and relaxed.

"There's something I want to tell you." He sat quietly so she would keep going. "Mrs. Cody told me this morning that the baby is a boy." He looked at her, carefully choosing his words. The last thing he wanted to do was upset her. "How is she able to tell?" She took a minute to answer him. She took a deep breath and continued. "She asked me what I have been craving and felt my belly. She's been correct with every pregnancy she's guessed at so I believe her." 

He was silent for what seemed like forever before he said anything. "That sounds about right with her." He smiled wide, stood up from his chair and pulled her from her chair and swung her around. He set her down and kissed her. She was breathless and laughed. "I take it you're excited. You don't know how happy that makes me." She hugged him tight. "Course I'm happy, Duchess and I'm also happy that you're happy." They hugged again. He kept an arm around her and pulled him into his lap in his chair.

After about half an hour, he looked at her and her eyes were closed. "I suppose you're about ready for bed, Duchess." She looked at him with heavy eyes. She nodded. He stood up and took her hand and led her back upstairs. He took her dress off and tucked her into bed. He took his clothes off and slid in behind her. He kissed her head and felt her snuggle into him. It wasn't long and she was asleep. "I love you, Sarah." She mumbled something that resembled a response. He put his hands on her belly and fell asleep.
