our parts.

Rona slips into my arms as soon as we’re in bed. Shutting her eyes, she’s out for the count. I’m not too far behind.

Chapter 15

~~ Rona ~~

The following morning, I can hardly move. My hip and thigh are throbbing and the rest of my body feels stiff and sore. Trying to move, I moan in pain, waking Cade.

We hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. I kept waking up, as did Cade. The last time he was up for me was about four in the morning, when he brought me some more painkillers. It’s now ten thirty and my stomach is growling for food.

“Morning love, how are you feeling?” Cade turns on his side to look at me.

“Stiff.” I reply rolling over onto my good side. I put my hand on his chest.

“You’re not the only one.” I smooth my hand down and stroke his very stiff erection.

Groaning. “Love, you really need to stop. I’m not sure how long I can go before ravishing you. I want you so god damn much; it’s been killing me all night.”

“I want you too, but all I can move is my right arm.” I grin. “So there is no point us both suffering.” I return my hand to his penis. Moving my fingers over the weeping head, all the way down to his balls. I lightly squeeze them. I tighten my hold around him and start moving my hand up and down. He kicks the bed covers off. “Christ, this won’t last long.” He chokes out.

“Kiss me,” I whisper. Our lips meet in a soft light kiss. I get impatient and press harder against his lips, opening my mouth. I want a very hot, wet tongue tango, which is what I get while continuing to stroke his shaft. Moving my hand, I swipe the tip with my thumb, before going back down to the root of him. I let my other hand drift down to his balls. He shivers. I stroke down between his legs, as Cade breaks the kiss and comes over both our stomachs. He groans – loudly. Finishing, he brings my face back to his for another soul shattering kiss.

“You take my breath away love. God, you make me feel like a teenager. I can’t hold back, the minute you put your hands or mouth on me has me ready to explode.... please tell me I didn’t hurt you?” he asks, while caressing my face and my swollen cheek bone.

“You really didn’t hurt me. I love what I do to you.”

“Let me go and get a cloth to clean us both up.”

As he climbs out of bed and heads towards the bathroom, I have a wonderful view of his naked body. All muscle. I love looking at his rear and when he turns around and heads back, I have an amazing view of his six pack and fully erect penis. I move my eyes upwards, meeting his sparkling green eyes.

“How can you be ready to go again?”

He laughs. “The slightest glance from you has me in this condition. Plus, I really need to make love to you, which is not happening anytime soon.”

Climbing back on the bed, with a wash cloth and a towel, Cade cleans me up then tosses them back into the bathroom. Lying back down with me he places a kiss on my forehead, “Do you want to stay in bed and I’ll bring you breakfast?”

I kiss him. “No, I want to come downstairs and be with you.”

“Love, I was planning on staying here with you.”

“Thank you, but I’ll be better if I don’t lounge around too much, I think. Plus, I can hear activity downstairs.”

“Do you want some comfortable clothes?”

Smiling, I kiss him again, “I love you and yes please.”

Rona, I discover, is one stubborn woman. After taking some more painkillers, I help her dress. She refuses to have me carry her around. I certainly don’t mind; I love having her close in my arms.

At the top of the stairs she does give in and lets me carry her down, but insists on walking again once at the bottom.

We make slow progress, but finally manage to arrive at the dining table where she sits.

Before I can say anything, Jake is at her side taking her hands, “Are you okay? We were really worried about you.”

“Come here. I could really do with a hug.” Jake kneels down as he hugs Rona.

“Elise and Beth made breakfast, so I brought it over for you and Dad.” Jake
