“I should have never left town after I met you,” Mitch said as the two of them lay in bed that evening, “you really were the best woman I have ever met, and I have met a lot of women.” Mitch laughed a bit as he looked at Ellie.

“I really could have done without knowing that last part,” she teased. The truth was, she had already known it. She knew it when she first met him that night after the baseball game and she had known it the entire time she had been raising their daughter on her own.

Her only hope at this point was that Micah was going to make the difference because she knew in her heart that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to change him.

Mitch continued to laugh, causing Ellie to smile. She loved how he thought he was funny, she loved watching him as he struggled to hold his eyes open.

“You don’t mind me staying here when I’m not working right,” Mitch mumbled, trying to stay awake.

“What do you mean?”

“I just think that it is best if I am here as much as possible, you know, give her a real family so she can grow up normal.”

“Yeah,” Ellie replied, leaning back onto her own pillow. Mitch gave her a lot to think about. It seemed like things were moving a bit too fast as if he was ready to jump into being a family faster than Ellie was comfortable with. Yet, there was a bit of excitement in thinking that he was going to belong completely to them.

“Unless you’re not okay with that,” Mitch rolled over and placed his arm around Ellie, breathing in her scent and pulling her close as he fell asleep.

Ellie lay awake for several hours thinking about what Mitch had said. She really did like the idea of having Mitch around, it was what was best for Micah, and she knew that her fears had nothing to do with Mitch, it was about her fear of commitment.

The next thing Ellie knew, she was laying on her side. She could feel Mitch pulling her against him. Holding her body tight against his. “Ellie,” he whispered in her ear, gentling kissing her as he spoke, “are you awake.”

Ellie groaned, she could barely hold her eyes open, but she could not fall asleep having his body so close to her own.

“You know,” he whispered, running his hand over her body, “I think we could make this work.”

Ellie closed her eyes, sighing with relief it was what she had always wanted to hear.

She turned to him, gently kissing him, their bodies pressed together. She could not deny her desire, every inch of her begged for his touch, but she did not want to seem over enthusiastic, she did not want him to think this was something she was used to doing.

Mitch kissed her chin, his fingers trailed down her neck to her chest. It was dark, but Ellie could see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead already. She had made sure that the house was cooler than the night before and instantly knew what those beads of sweat meant.

Ellie smiled, knowing that Mitch was struggling just as much as she was being so close to her.

“Are you sore,” Mitch asked, lovingly, moving a strand of hair from in front of her eyes.

“Of course, I am,” she teased, pressing her hips against his, “but I bet that has never stopped you before.” Ellie loved that he was able to show that he cared, that he was taking her into consideration, instead of just jumping on top of her.

Ellie sat up in the bed, lifting her gown above her head, exposing her pale white skin and large breasts to him. Pressing her hands against his shoulders, Ellie gently pushed him back onto the bed and threw one of her legs over his hips.

She quickly picked up his hands and placed them on her breasts, allowing him to cup them. Mitch gave them a gentle squeeze as Ellie looked into his eyes. She could tell it was killing him to have her sit on him that way. Mitch was the type of man that always wanted to be in control, the type that would never be dominated.

Ellie rocked her hips against his, feeling the hard bulge growing even larger as she teased him. She was surprised to find that she was becoming even more turned on and wondered if she was not teasing herself more than him but when she looked down at him, she knew that was not true.

Mitch’s muscles were tight, the veins popped out on his neck and his breathing was erratic. “I want you,” Mitch moaned, grasping her around the waist.

Before she knew it, Mitch had flipped her over on the bed. He grabbed Ellie’s knees and pushed them up around his waist, quickly sliding inside of her. Ellie threw her head back as pleasure shot through her body. Mitch quickly picked up the pace, thrusting into her hard, but Ellie did not mind. She met his thrusts, matching his pace and it was only a matter of minutes before he was filling her with his come.

Ellie’s body shook from the intense pleasure. Mitch fell onto the bed, gasping for air as his body recovered. “That was amazing,” he managed to get out.

Ellie couldn’t speak, she tried to nod her head, but she was lost in ecstasy. It had only lasted a few moments but it was the most intense few moments of her life.

Already, as her body began to calm, she was ready for more. Her body, however, was completely exhausted.

“Do you think we can make this work,” he asked her, his voice deep and serious.

“I don’t know,” Ellie, stammered, trying to focus on his question and not on the way her body was feeling, “all we can do is try.” The answer satisfied Mitch, he couldn’t have asked for anything more from her.

This was what had been missing in her life, not the sex, that was amazing and she loved it, but it was the closeness with Mitch, having someone that she could connect with on a deeper level than just the physical that she desired so much in her life, even though she never knew she wanted it.

It was pure love that she had been missing in her life, it was unlike the love that she had for her daughter in many ways but in other ways, it was the same.

Mitch lay on the bed beside her, holding her tight under the covers, his steady breathing lulling her to sleep. Everything in her life was perfect and as she began to drift off to sleep, he swore that nothing would change that. He may have missed the first two years of his daughter’s life but he was not going to miss a single moment more.

Wishing he could go back in time and take back many of the things that he had done, there was one thing that he did not regret and it was that first night that he spent with Ellie in the palace rose garden. He would never regret his beautiful daughter or any time that the beautiful woman in his arms would allow him to have with her.
