The Unexpected

Jayden and I were enjoying the spring that came early this year. We decided to go for a nice dawn hike. The sun was just coming up when we hit the trail. The trail went along the river, and it was beautiful. The dew left the rocks a little slick. I was trying to advance in an upward climb when I lost my footing. I was heading towards the river embankment when Jayden caught my arm. The intensity was something out of a movie. He pulled me swiftly into his arms and asked if I was okay.

Something was different today; everything seemed so intense, and all my senses were on their ends. He held me tightly in his arms and brushed my hair from across my face and he said I looked beautiful today. Then he kissed me and something about this kiss was more passionate than any other we had ever shared. Then he pushed me against a tree on the other side of the path. He took me into his arms and lifted me up, pulling my pants down in the process. With my legs gripping around him for dear life with every thrust into me it felt like he ruled my body. My body ached with his every movement of pure bliss exploding throughout my entire being. I felt like I was being burned alive with ecstasy.

After what seemed like an eternity we collapsed to the ground. Panting trying to catch our breath as we clung to each other both covered in sweat. He looked me in the eyes with those magnificent brown penetrating eyes and said to me “Maleaha I’m falling in love with you, and I thought you should know” I looked at him and said ditto. For some un for seen reason no other words would escape my mouth.

The rest of the evening we were in sweet silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence; it was a rather enjoyable one. The air was full of electricity, but it was very relaxing. Jayden spent the night with me, and we slept in complete peacefulness. Having his arms around me made me feel safe. He was strong, protective and made me feel like nothing could harm me as long as he was by my side.

This was a new and weird feeling for me because I too was strong and fully capable of taking care of myself. I never needed anyone to feel safe, but something was different around him. It was like I could breathe knowing I didn't have to keep my guard up. I never felt this way when I was with Raymond.

The following week the lakes were all opening up and Jayson asked if I would like to go down the big river then hit the lake for a swim. We started out around noon, the canoe was peacefully floating down the river while we were laughing and catching up. When we hit a bit of rapid causing the canoe to suddenly tip over. I went flying and whacked my head on a rock. Jayson dove to my rescue grabbing me up into his strong arms. He wiped the water and mud from my face and smiled at me. He said even drenched I was gorgeous. He said I was like a goddess even drenched and muddy that I still looked like I could rule a world.

He planted a passionate kiss and I felt like I was engulfed in fire. My body heated like it was over a thousand degrees and on a crash course with the sun. I could feel my face turning to bright red like your hand when it is scalded by boiling water. As we floated in the water next to this lovely little waterfall. He pushed my clothes away and took control of my body. It felt as if we were one person with his hand tangled in my hair and the other firmly on my hip every thrust took my breath away. I was never so happy to be just him and I out in nature. Hell, we were becoming a part of nature at this point.

On the drive back to my place we sang to each other. He started it with his lovely rendition of the Judd’s grandpa. Then I followed with love is alive. We got home and went to my bathroom that was adjoined to my bedroom. We got into the shower, and he faced me towards him, looking me deep in the eyes then said “I love you; I know we said we would keep it fun, but I can't help it I've fallen irrevocably in love with you” then again, the only thing to escape my mouth was ditto. I felt so loved and so alive.

It did not take long to fall asleep in each other's arms. Jayson made me feel alive and I melted around him. My night was full of weird and confusing dreams. That is when I realized I was not only in love with two different men, I was in love with brothers. What the hell was I going to do about this? I highly doubted this would end well. I would have to make an impossible choice and someone most likely me was about to be hurt. Something I was praying and trying so hard to avoid.
