"I promise
to get to the bottom of this for your sake, if I'm wrong I will spend the rest
of my life making it up to her. But if I’m not, if she's proven to be the
manipulative schemer I've come to believe she is, then I will see to it that
you never want for anything in this life, especially my love. But I will have
to remove her from your life." I felt tears in my eyes at the thought of
depriving my son of his mother, but if she were guilty then she wouldn't be
worthy of that title. Not for any child, but especially not my son. I would
destroy anything to keep him safe.

I sat there with
him for I don't know how long before I returned him to his crib. I was sure
Amber would be asleep by now, not that I'd been hiding out in hopes of that, at
least that's what I told myself.

I returned to my
room, she was in my bed rolled into a ball as if protecting herself from a
blow. At first I thought maybe she was in pain, until I saw her face, and
recognized the tracks of tears on her cheeks. Why had she cried herself to
sleep? Was it because I had damn near molested her? Somehow I didn't think so;
or could it be because I had rejected her?

My heart felt
heavy and tired as I climbed into bed and drew her into my arms holding her as
close as I possibly could.

"Colin."
She sighed my name in her sleep.

 

The next day I
woke up before her, I just lay there watching her. It was early still and the
baby hadn't awakened as yet. He'd woken up for his three am feeding and I'd
done my trick of putting him to her breast without waking her this time. I
didn't know a body could be so tired as to sleep through that. It made me
wonder how they got along for those first six weeks? It must've been hard.

I felt a pang of
sadness, Amber was the same age as my little sister, whereas my sister was in
college living happy and carefree from the many text I got, Amber had a baby.
She also had no mother to guide her like Terry did; it hurt my heart to think
of her all alone in that disgusting dump with my son. What if something had
gone wrong? What if someone had...I cut my thoughts off; it didn't bear
thinking. They were here now, safe. I had to get up and call Kurt, I needed
something, this waiting was driving me crazy.

I gave her a
soft kiss on her forehead, which made her sigh and cuddle closer. Why am I such
a sap? Knowing everything I knew about her how could I want to lay here like
this with her? I could feel my anger wanting to fight it's way to the surface,
but my doubts were like a wall against it.

For just a
moment I allowed myself to remember our time together, how much love there was,
how I couldn't stand to have her out of my sight and vice versa. So why then
had it been so easy for me to accept her guilt?

Because she'd
run, why else would she run if she weren't guilty? And the evidence against her
was overwhelming. I eased out of the bed taking care not to wake her. I took my
shower quickly I didn't want Anthony to wake up while I was in there. I pulled
on jeans and a tee shirt before heading out barefooted. I'd taken some time off
and my brother was holding down the fort so I had no worries there. I would use
this time to bond with my child.

Anthony was
still out so I went to my office where the monitor I kept there would alert me
when he awakened. It was still early but I called Kurt anyway.

He answered on the
second ring. "Kurt it's me what do you have for me?" I had no doubt
he would have something even if it wasn't much, at least it would be something.

"Yeah we
went through cell phone records from the period she was here last, checked with
the towers, lucky for us they're required by law to keep those things for a few
years at least. You're not going to like what I found."

My gut tightened
and I had to sit down, you expected this Colin pull yourself together.

"Give it to
me straight."

"Nothing,
we found absolutely nothing, all the places she went coincide with you or
someone in your family, mostly Terry and you know where those towers are, all
shopping areas.” He had a laugh in his voice. “Her phone stayed mostly quiet
except for a once daily call to one Melissa Jones, other than that
nothing."

"You sure
about this Kurt? Be very sure, there's a lot riding on this."

"We were as
thorough as can be, oh one more thing, I got in touch with the lady that owns
the pawn shop. She wasn't there when we went last year and her new employee
didn't know too much about the security cameras. Well apparently this old lady
is a real stickler. She doesn't throw out her old tapes, she actually keeps
them and have them burnt to disc in sequence. I'm seeing her later today, I'll let
you know what we find."

"I want a
copy of that disc, whatever it takes."

"I'll see
what I can do."

"No Kurt, I
want a copy of that disc." There was no give in me on this, one way or the
other this was ending soon.

"You got it
boss."

We rung off and
I went to get the coffee started, it was going to be a long day and my mother
was going to be here what I'm sure would be any minute. I'm surprised I was
able to keep her away yesterday, but I wouldn't put it pass her to show up at
the ass crack of dawn. Sarah Stewart waited for no one.

What did it
mean, what Kurt had found? What could it possibly mean? And why hadn't I done
this almost a year ago instead of flying off the handle and believing the
worse? Because you were hurt, and you felt used and stupid not a good combo for
a man with pride; and you have that in spades don't you?

How will you
make it up to your son and his mother if you were wrong all along?

I couldn't even
bring myself to think about that, the things I'd thought of her, the things I'd
said, the things I wanted to do...I cut my thoughts off right there as I headed
back up the stairs. Coffee could wait I needed her now.

Chapter 14
 

Amber

 

I awakened to
hands on me; I would know those hands anywhere. I tensed at first, that had
become my natural instinct where he was concerned, but there was no punishment
in this touch. It was tender, soft, the way I remembered it. I opened my eyes
to a new wonder. The look on his face so lost, so hopeful, and I could do
nothing but open my arms in welcome. It was probably a mistake, he would
probably go back to breathing fire again, but for now, in this moment I needed
him, I missed him.

He played my
body beautifully, awakening long dormant feelings of passion and lust. I
touched every part of him I could reach. It was I who pulled his shirt off over
his head, me who tugged at his jeans until he got the hint and took them off.
It was nothing for him to remove my boy shorts and tank. His lips on my nipples
felt amazing. I felt a moment's embarrassment knowing that he would be able to
taste my milk, but he didn't seem to mind.

He drew deep
from my breast as if it was the fountain of youth.

"Better
leave some for my son." He joked as he nibbled his way down my body. When
his tongue touched my core I shot off the bed just my head and heels remained
it was that good. I almost threw him off with my wild thrashing. He grabbed me
around the hips and anchored me to the bed, while ravaging me with his wicked
tongue. I thought I would pass out from the pleasure.

 

Colin

 

She tasted so
fucking sweet I could eat her for the rest of the day. Only the thought of my
mother showing up or my son awakening made me leave her sweet pussy. But not
for long I surged into her, not stopping until I was in her to the hilt, eyes
closed, head thrown back, I was in heaven. She felt like my every dream come
true, like she belonged here in this time, with me, as one. She felt like love.

I held her
gently to me as my lips found hers once more, our bodies moving in sync. I
fought back the need to go faster, wanting this time together to last as long
as it could before the real world intruded.

I fought back
those three little words; words I always shared with her when we were intimate
like this, words still etched on my heart. I felt her tears on my face and
pulled back to look into her eyes, afraid for one fleeting moment that she
didn't want this, but she just shook her head at the look of uncertainty on my
face and drew me back to her lips.

I felt the need
to fuck her hard and deep, to stamp my claim on her again, and to erase the
last few months. Lifting her into my thrusts I plowed harder and harder her
screams loud in my ears.

"Fuck you
feel so fucking good, why? Why? Why?" I was lost, a madman.

I pulled her
hair roughly as I fucked her, pulling her head back and looking into her eyes.

"What's my
name?"

"Colin."

"Who owns
you?"

She didn't
answer but instead bit into her lip. I thrust harder while pulling her head
back farther exposing her throat.

"I asked
you a question answer me. Who the fuck do you belong to?" I needed to hear
her say it, to have her admit it once and for all.

"You, I
belong to you."

"Don't you
forget it, if you ever leave me again I'll end you." I bit into her neck
as I fucked her harder than ever before.

Her pussy
clenched around me as her nails dug into my back, her heels bounced off my ass
as I fucked her with everything I had. Ten and a half months of pent up lust
was unleashed as I worked her on and off my cock.

It was a
reconciling, a new awakening, dare I hope in this dare I believe again? What
price would I be made to pay this time? The need to let go raced through my
blood and I quickened the pace, playing with her clit driving a finger into her
ass until I brought her to peak with me. It was beautiful it was life altering.
It was careless I didn't use a condom.

 

Amber

 

Once again our
son came to the rescue, so instead of an awkward moment following our heated
encounter, there was laughter. No sooner had we both found fulfillment than he could
be heard stirring through the monitor.

I kept my head
down not in shame, but in fear of the moment being broken with harsh words, but
my Colin seemed bent on surprises this morning, because instead of
recriminations I got soft kisses and teasing.

"Our son
has impeccable timing." He teased as he withdrew from my body to lay
beside me, his arms still holding me close.

His wording was
not lost on me either, whereas only yesterday he referred to our child as 'my
son' he had called him ours, and my silly heart rejoiced at that one small
thing.

I have no idea
what's come over him, all I know is that I wish it never ends; I wish the dark
cloud that's been hanging over us would disappear. I wanted so badly to broach
the subject but was too afraid to rock the boat. Besides Anthony was beginning
to do more than stir.

"I'd better
get him before he screams the house down."

"Why don't
you get cleaned up while I change him and bring him to you?" He actually
kissed the top of my head and l wondered what was going on; what had happened
between falling asleep and waking up in the morning?

Maybe he had an
epiphany? And how long would my reprieve last? Will it hold until we hashed
everything out in a rational manner? Or will it all come crumbling down around
my ears?

I climbed out of
my side of the bed as he did the same; it was only then as I felt the telltale
signs of his pleasure running down my thighs that I realized how careless we
had been. Shit, shit, shit.

Okay Amber don't
panic, there's no reason to panic. I tried doing the math in my head but was
too frazzled to figure it out, so I did some self taught exercises that had
gotten me through the last ten months. Deep breath in, clear your thoughts,
concentrate on what I can control, let everything else go. Breathe out.

As I felt the
panic receding I ran to the bathroom and hurried through a quick cleanup. By
the time I was through my boys were waiting for me. Colin had gotten our son to
calm down somehow and wait for me.

I sat on the
divan across from the bed as he handed the baby to me. Baring my breast I felt
myself blush, Colin laughed as he easily read my thoughts. Little Anthony was
ravenous this morning, latching on greedily. When Colin took one of his fingers
and ran it from the baby's cheek to the top of my breast gently, it was one of
the most intimate moments of my life.

I felt tears
prickling at the edges of my eyes but fought against them. I had to be strong,
if I wanted this, and oh how I wanted this, then I had to fight. It was more
important now than it had been all those months ago, now there was a baby to
consider, the one in my arms and
...
No better not
borrow trouble. But somehow I was no longer afraid. The thought of having
another baby didn't scare me, as it should; instead the image of Colin being
there this time, throughout the whole thing filled me with warmth and
happiness.

I looked up at
him to find him looking at me with that worshipful look he always gave me
before, but it was soon gone under my scrutiny. Not for the first time since
he’d found us I wondered what the hell was going on?
